How can I add a new topic to TWiki programmatically?
I've got a working TWiki (http://twiki.org/) installation, everything works fine.
I need to find a way to create and add new Topics through the command line, programmatically.
Any ideas how this can be accomplished?
Thanx!
d.
What I did was
take a look at some wiki pages (files in <twiki-home>/data/Main/<PageName>.txt) to figure out the file/text format (pretty much what you see in the browser, preceded by one line of meta info)
generate that text format with a perl script with content based on data from a DB or some Excel
copy the files to the apropriate location using putty's pscp on windows
I think using TWiki scripts is a more "clean" way, as you wouldn't have to worry about metadata in the TXT file or update the .changes file.
Just use wget to make a POST call using the 'save' script (see documentation here)

I am using txt2pdf to convert text files to pdfs. It's been working great but I got a new PC and I can't get it to retain the settings for lines per page. I don't see any contact information on their web site.

Does anyone know where older program s might store their data?
I found it using a system file watcher:
C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows\win.ini
I am working on vb.net application where I wanted to create and read a file. File will have specific extension for ex. .abcb the way I want my application to work is:
can create a file with .abcd extension
should read .abcd files only(and also application created files only so altered extension shouldn't be working)
.abcd files should show some garbage data when open in any other application(ex. word, notepad any image viewer etc.)
Now my application does 1,2(partly) step, i.e. it creates a file and load data also, it reads .abcd files only(not the altered files)
but created file can be read by other software's also.I tried searching a lot but have not found anything and don't know where to start.
Any help is appreciated!
if you don't want other programs to be able to read the content of your file then your going to have to mask it in some way, which is usually done with encryption.
assuming your not too worried about the key being compromised, the easiest way to accomplish this would be to generate a key with something like System.Security.Cryptography and use that key to encyrpt everything you send to the file and everything you read from it.
as for making your own file extension, you can make the extension of a file whatever you want when you make it:
Dim fs As FileStream = File.Create("/path/to/file/filename" & ".abcd")
the only thing that the extension does is tell the OS what progam to use when opening a file by default, which will probably be notepad since your making your own extension
Somewhat related to this question - Parametrizing node name in Elixir Exrm - is there a way to dynamically set the content of the rel/vm.args file?
In the title, I suggest the use of config.exs, but I'm interested in any scheme that will allow me to add, remove and edit vm arguments at build time.
A bash script might be an idea, but a solution that would also work on Windows, and is preferably based on Elixir code would be the idea.
You can commit to your project repo a rel/vm.args file that you would like to be used instead of the Exrm generated one. Exrm will automatically use this file instead.
On OS X there is a popular app called EasyFind that searches for strings inside of a files content or you can just do a name search. More importantly, it searches in hidden files and inside of package contents.
So my research with using the Spotlight API leads me to believe that it is not possible to do this. Should I assume EasyFind is doing this all manually without using any Cocoa search API?
If that is true, does anyone know of some code to get me started, even just pseudo?
Basically I want to build an app that will find every single image on the drive no matter where it is or what permissions it has. This also includes icon files.
One other thing I can't seem to find an answer to is whether or not you can do a search like this on the command line in OS X.
Thanks!
In the command line you can use the find command line tool. That gives you access to all the files in the filesystem if you run it with root permissions (sudo). You can pipe its results to grep to find for strings inside the files. You can also use the strings command line tool to look for strings inside binary files.
This is not very complicated to implement within a Cocoa App. Just Google for how to iterate through all the hard drive contents. NSFileManager could be a good place to start digging.
Also check out FindAnyFile. It is a nice app that does similar to EasyFind but just on file properties (name, dates, etc.). It doesn't read file contents.
I have a large batch of assorted files, all missing their file extension.
I'm currently using Windows 7 Pro. I am able to "open with" and experiment to determine what application opens these files, and rename manually to suit.
However I would like some method to identify the correct file type (typically PDF, others include JPG, HTML, DOC, XLS and PPT), and batch rename to add the appropriate file extension.
I am able to open some files with notepad and review the first four bytes, which in some cases shows "%PDF".
I figure a small script would be able to inspect these bytes, and rename as appropriate. However not all files give such an easy method. HTML, JPG, DOC etc do not appear to give such an easy identifier.
This Powershell method appears to be close: https://superuser.com/questions/186942/renaming-multiple-file-extensions-based-on-a-condition
Difficulty here is focusing the method to work on file types with no extension; and then what to do with the files that don't have the first four bytes identifier?
Appreciate any help!!
EDIT: Solution using TriD seen here: http://mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html
And recursive method using Powershell to execute TriD here: http://mark0.net/forum/index.php?topic=550.0
You could probably save some time by getting a file utility for Windows (see What is the equivalent to the Linux File command for windows?) and then writing a simple script that maps from file type to extension.
EDIT: Looks like the TriD utility that's mentioned on that page can do what you want out of the box; see the -ae and -ce options)
Use python3.
import os,re
fldrPth = "path/to/folder" # relative to My Documents
os.chdir(fldrPth)
for i in os.listdir():
with open(i,'r') as doc:
st = doc.read(4)
os.rename(i,i+'.'+re.search(r'\w+',st).group())
Hopefully this would work.
I don't have test files to check the code. Take a backup and then run it and let me know if it works.
