spaces

At work we are several developers and don't have a code style guide, and some developers indent with tabs, and some others with 4 spaces (luckily noone of the indent with spaces people uses different than 4 spaces). In general this is no (big) problem because in our editors we set tabwidth=4 and all the indentation seems correct. But in git diff or git show that's what appears: diff --git a/mesclatabs.php b/mesclatabs.php new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1986c91 --- /dev/null +++ b/mesclatabs.php @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +<?php +function foo() { + echo "line with 1 tab\n"; + echo "line with 4 spaces

The unzip command doesn't have an option for recursively unzipping archives. If I have the following directory structure and archives: /Mother/Loving.zip /Scurvy/Sea Dogs.zip /Scurvy/Cures/Limes.zip And I want to unzip all of the archives into directories with the same name as each archive: /Mother/Loving/1.txt /Mother/Loving.zip /Scurvy/Sea Dogs/2.txt /Scurvy/Sea Dogs.zip /Scurvy/Cures/Limes/3.txt /Scurvy/Cures/Limes.zip What command or commands would I issue? It's important that this doesn't choke on filenames that have spaces in them. Vivek Thomas If you want to extract the files to the

I'm trying to figure out how to get the current space # from mission control. Source would be helpful, but more helpful would be info on how to figure this out myself. I've written a few applescripts, but more often than not it seems like any time I need to do something new (that I can't find dictionary documentation for) it falls under the category of "tell this specific app (e.g. "System Events") this very specific thing" and I've no clue how I would actually figure that out. Specifically what I am trying to do: I hate the new mission control in OSX 10.7. I want my spaces "grid" back since I

A long while back I transitioned to doing all my web application development in Eclipse from BBEdit. But I miss one little feature from BBEdit. I used to be able to show invisible characters like tabs but not show other invisibles like spaces. I know that I can bulk turn all of these on in Eclipse, but I wonder if there is a way to show only some invisibles in Eclipse. Aaron Digulla Unfortunately, you can only turn on all invisible (whitespace) characters at the same time. I suggest you file an enhancement request but I doubt they will pick it up. The text component in Eclipse is very

How do I echo one or more tab characters using a bash script? When I run this code res=' 'x # res = "\t\tx" echo '['$res']' # expect [\t\tx] I get this res=[ x] # that is [<space>x] Johannes Weiss echo -e ' \t ' will echo 'space tab space newline' ( -e means 'enable interpretation of backslash escapes'): $ echo -e ' \t ' | hexdump -C 00000000 20 09 20 0a | . .| Use printf , not echo . There are multiple different versions of the echo command. There's /bin/echo (which may or may not be the GNU Coreutils version, depending on the system), and the echo command is built into most shells. Different

I want to select my particular database in mysql console, but the problem is that my database name has a space in between and mysql ignores the part after the space. For instance, when i give the command: use 'student registration' I get the message: cannot find database 'student' You should try using back ticks ("`") to quote your database name. Generally speaking, it's probably better to use a naming convention to eliminate white space, e.g. USE `StudentRegistration`; or USE `student_registration`; You have two options. 1 Enclose the database name in backticks or single quotes. USE `student

Just when I'd thought I'd seen it all with Windows path issues, I've now encountered a case that only fails when '/' (forward-slash) is used as the path separator is used: C:\temp\tcbugs>mkdir "dir1 with spaces" C:\temp\tcbugs>echo hi > "dir1 with spaces"\foo.txt C:\temp\tcbugs>type "dir1 with spaces\foo.txt" hi C:\temp\tcbugs>type "dir1 with spaces/foo.txt" The system cannot find the file specified. What is particularly interesting about this is that it appears to be specific to the cmd.exe shell and doesn't occur in PowerShell (nor presumably in the win32 API): PS C:\temp\tcbugs> type 'dir1

I need my Java program to take a string like: "This is a sample sentence." and turn it into a string array like: {"this","is","a","sample","sentence"} No periods, or punctuation (preferably). By the way, the string input is always one sentence. Is there an easy way to do this that I'm not seeing? Or do we really have to search for spaces a lot and create new strings from the areas between the spaces (which are words)? Adam Batkin String.split() will do most of what you want. You may then need to loop over the words to pull out any punctuation. For example: String s = "This is a sample sentence
