(Ruby) Recurse directory tree and count pages in all pdf files using pdf-reader gem - inkdeep

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 23:18:37 GMT

I had a directory tree with around 4000 pdf files and I needed a page count - so I semi-rolled this. I swiped the counter code from the gem README: http://github.com/yob/pdf-reader/tree/master It could be more contained - as is I run it from irb: `>> require 'total_pages'` `>> pagetotal = TotalPages.new` `>> pagetotal.count('/my/pdf/directory')` I added rescue to print info on a file if it fails to open or doesn't conform to to the PDF specification and causes pdf-reader to raise an error - without this the script will quit - that sucks when you're trying to count pages in thousands of files.

(Ruby) Update RubyGems to the latest version (how to upgrade the gem command) - noah

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 12:02:19 GMT

This command tells RubyGems to upgrade _itself_ to the latest version of RubyGems. **Updated 2010** on modern RubyGems, all you have to do is gem update --system and you are set. Then you can say `gem update` to get the latest versions of installed gems. The rest of this post will be left intact for historical purposes. ## If you were going to read the documentation… …then remove `--no-rdoc` and/or `--no-ri`. ## If you also want to update all installed gems… …then just say `sudo gem update`
