What is the correct way to make git ignore temporary files produced by vim in all directories (either globally across the system or locally for a single project)? nunopolonia Vim temporary files end with ~ so you can add to the file .gitignore the line *~ Vim also creates swap files that have the swp and swo extensions. to remove those use the lines: *.swp *.swo This will ignore all the vim temporary files in a single project If you want to do it globally, you can create a .gitignore file in your home (you can give it other name or location), and use the following command: git config --global

I've got an image upload script which was previously working. It's now broken, and I've traced the problem down to one line: $temp = tmpfile(); // $temp === false The tmpfile() function is returning false. I can't seem to figure out why. I'm having a hard time wading through Google on this one. The script it only broken on my local test environment, OSX 10.6.7, running MAMP 1.9.5. Fortunately the live site is working fine. tmpfile() returns false if it is unable to create the temporary file. Make sure your tmp folder is writable and try and check what sys_get_temp_dir() function returns. It

I want to clear the temporary Internet files folder completely. The location of the folder, e.g., C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files , depends on the version of Windows, so it has to be dynamic. use this path: Environment.SpecialFolder.InternetCache string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.InternetCache) //for deleting files System.IO.DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(path); foreach (FileInfo file in di.GetFiles()) { file.Delete(); } foreach (DirectoryInfo dir in di.GetDirectories()) { dir.Delete(true); //delete subdirectories

I want to create a ramdisk in Python. I want to be able to do this in a cross-platform way, so it'll work on Windows XP-to-7, Mac, and Linux. I want to be able to read/write to the ramdisk like it's a normal drive, preferably with a drive letter/path. The reason I want this is to write tests for a script that creates a directory with a certain structure. I want to create the directory completely in the ramdisk so I'll be sure it would be completely deleted after the tests are over. I considered using Python's tempfile , but if the test will be stopped in the middle the directory might not be

This question already has an answer here: Unlock Files for deletion 2 answers I want my application to clean all the temp files it used, the problem is that not all the temp files are under my control, so I just want to "brutally" unlock them in order to delete them programatically. Take a look at this article. I think that you'll struggle to do this in C# natively, even using interop, but writing a C++/CLI wrapper assembly may be a good compromise. Note also that the user needs to have the SE_DEBUG privilege for this to work. I've struggled with this as well, and ended up just shelling out to

I'm writing a Python script that needs to write some data to a temporary file, then create a subprocess running a C++ program that will read the temporary file. I'm trying to use NamedTemporaryFile for this, but according to the docs, Whether the name can be used to open the file a second time, while the named temporary file is still open, varies across platforms (it can be so used on Unix; it cannot on Windows NT or later). And indeed, on Windows if I flush the temporary file after writing, but don't close it until I want it to go away, the subprocess isn't able to open it for reading. I'm

What are a good way to ensure that a tempfile is deleted if my application closes or crashes? Ideally I would like to obtain a tempfile, use it and then forget about it. Right now I keep a list of my tempfiles and delete them with an eventhandler that triggers on Application.ApplicationExit. Is there a better way? Nothing is guaranteed if the process is killed prematurely, however, I use " using " to do this.. using System; using System.IO; sealed class TempFile : IDisposable { string path; public TempFile() : this(System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName()) { } public TempFile(string path) { if (string
