extract

Are there any built-in methods I can use to allow users to extract a file from the currently running JAR and save it on their disk? Thanks in advance. Dave Newton Use getResourceAsStream (docs) , you can do whatever you want with it after that. For a two-liner you could use one of the Commons IO copy methods . Renato File file = new File("newname.ext"); if (!file.exists()) { InputStream link = (getClass().getResourceAsStream("/path/resources/filename.ext")); Files.copy(link, file.getAbsoluteFile().toPath()); } GuruKulki I am not sure whether you will get know from which jar your class is

Is it possible to extract a binary, to get the code that is behind the binary? With Class-dump you can see the implementation addresses, but is it possible to also see the code thats IN the implementation addresses? Is there ANY way to do it? All your code compiles to single instructions, placed in the text section of your executable. The compiler is responsible for translating your higher level language to the processor specific instructions, which are simpler. Reverting this process would be nearly impossible, unless the code is quite simple. Some problems are ambiguity of statements, and

I am working on previously developed software and source code is compiled as linux shared libraries (.so) and source code is not present. Is there any tool which can extract source code from the linux shared libraries? Thanks, Ravi There isn't. Once you compile your code there is no trace of it left in the binary, only machine code. Some may mention decompilers but those don't extract the source, they analyze the executable and produce some source that should have the same effect as the original one did. You can try disassembling the object code and get the machine code mnemonics. objdump -D -

I would like to periodically check what sub-domains are being listed by Google. To obtain list of sub-domains, I type 'site:example.com' in Google search box - this lists all the sub-domain results (over 20 pages for our domain). What is the best way to extract only the URL of the addresses returned by the 'site:example.com' search? I was thinking of writing a little python script that will do the above search and regex the URLs from the search results (repeat on all result pages). Is this a good start? Could there be a better methodology? Cheers. Regex is a bad idea for parsing HTML. It's
