(SVN) Howto list all the file extension types in an SVN log dump

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 14:59:31 GMT

Note that on Windows you will want to double-quote the string argument to `perl -ne` rather than single-quoting it. Otherwise this works on Windows (with Cygwin) as well.

(Ruby) Rendered WGet with Selenium

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 09:23:43 GMT

Created in response to a discussion about "ghosting," between Kord Campbell of Splunk and Christian Heilman of Yahoo! at Ajax World 2008. IMPORTANT: The Selenium-RC server must be running on port 4444 (the default) and you must have Curl and Tidy installed on your system. NOTE: Diffing the rendered versus the "server" source. This option works OK as a learning tool, but I need to do more in terms of normalizing the server source versus the rendered source. I run both the "server" and innerHTML sources through Tidy, but unfortunately there still seems to be a lot of extraneous differences between them. So while this works OK for downloading the rendered source via a Ruby script, I've got a ways to go before it can produce a reliable "rendered diff." keywords: rwget, rwdiff, ruby, selenium rc, selenium remote control, examples

(Bash) Scrape Google from the command line

Sun, 09 Dec 2007 21:16:58 GMT

This code is POC only -- actually using it would violate Google's TOS, which forbids scraping. It is published here for educational value only. Hypothetically, the following command should return a list of the top 500 or so hits in Google for onemorebug.com. The results will be prepended with digits, followed by a dot and some whitespace (Lynx adds these). _You must have Lynx and Wget installed on your system for this to work._ Keep in mind that *nix shells don't like it when you double-quote strings, see the comments.
