(Perl) FHTML (for TextMate) - rareyman

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:01:49 GMT

I modified this excellent Perl script, created by John Watson (http://www.watson-net.com) to be used with TextMate to reformat your HTML for easier readability. Here's how to use it: 1. In TextMate > Bundles > Bundle Editor > Show Bundle Editor 2. Create a New Command (I call it "Reformat HTML") 3. On right pane: **Save: Nothing** : **Command: (insert code)** 4. Bottom right pane: **Input: Selected Text or Document** 5. Bottom right pane: **Output: Replace Selected Text** 6. Settings: Key Equivalent: (whatever you want, I use: Command-Option-Shift-F which matches old school BBEdit) 7. Scope Selector: text.html

(Perl) Remove duplicate lines from a text file with Perl - noah

Tue, 03 Jul 2007 22:06:34 GMT

*[Found at Google Answers.](http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=25196)* Sometimes I get a big list of things, and some of the things occur multiple times in the same list. To make the list easier to read, I want to *delete* the duplicate lines. A good example is a list of files that have errors (maybe excerpted from an application sever's log files). In that case you have a newline-delimited list of file paths, and depending upon the situation, the same file path might be listed 4 or 5 times or more. Often, it is useful to have a list of just the files that are faulty, which can be produced by deleting all the duplicate lines. This script is for filtering just those kinds of list files. [Of course,](http://xkcd.com/378/ "emacs has a command for that") for **Emacs** users [there is a much easier way to remove duplicate lines:](http://everything2.com/title/useful%2520emacs%2520lisp%2520functions "useful emacs lisp functions"), if you have `uniq` installed on your system. `M-x sort-lines RET C-x h M-x shell-command-on-region RET uniq RET`

(Perl) Convert a PDF to text with Perl - noah

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:24:58 GMT

Converts the PDF 'example.pdf' to plain text. IIRC this only converts the _first_ page of the document, but that can be changed by modifying the argument to getPageContentTree on line 8. Been a while since I've used this so ymmv.

(Perl) Grab linked files from a list of web pages - noah

Tue, 03 Jul 2007 22:31:30 GMT

## how to use `perl grabit.pl urls_for_download.txt` Expects as argument the name of a file containing a newline-delimited list of URLs: http://example.com/coolstuff http://example.com/coolstuff/fun http://example.com/videos/explosions When invoked, launches an interactive shell that asks what type of file should be downloaded. Then downloads all the files that are linked from each of the listed Web pages. Note that the location of the download folder is hard-coded to `c:/windows/desktop/grabit/` so you may want to change that before trying. This script is also [available on Github](http://github.com/textarcana/scrapers/blob/643e6e7cb349fa94cbc3fc88e1d55c7b6a262d11/grabit.pl) ## Wait! Do you know about WGet and Curl? This script is legacy. People seem to like it (hey, I still use it) but today I would probably not write my own tool to download multiple files off remote sites. Instead I would likely just use a command-line Web browser like [WGet](http://lifehacker.com/software/top/geek-to-live--mastering-wget-161202.php 'Gina Trapani of Lifehacker, on the way of the WGet ninja') or Curl. [LWP-Request would also do the trick](http://snipplr.com/view/4063/download-linked-jpegs-from-a-web-page-on-the-command-line/) ## do not comment your code like this! For a great explanation of the rather baroque commenting style I was using circa 2001, see [Steve Yegge's excellent article on code style: *Portait of a n00b.*](http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/02/portrait-of-n00b.html) Of course, when I sit down to write a Perl script today, I [use POD](http://snipplr.com/view/18611/perl-pod-embedded-documentation-example/) to format and publish my comments.
