I'm using the Pascal FC implementation for Windows Vista found on http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/burns/pf.html
I'm trying to run the dining philophers problem found on the link but I don't get how to make the compiler work.
Screenshot
In the screen shot, the program appears to be waiting for you to enter the name of the file to use for the compiler output. Enter a file name.
Better yet, use the pfc.bat command and let it choose the output names for you. The batch file will also run the program automatically after it has been compiled. At the command prompt, run the command like this:
C:\pascalfc-vista> pfc philchan.pas

When I execute spss syntax commands from a .sps script, each command is written to the output window before it executes giving me a clear log of exactly how an output was created.
Even if the command is an INSERT command executing a different script - I get a log of the commands from that script.
This is very useful for many reasons:
sanity checking - I can always see exactly what went in to creating a specific output (which filters I used, etc.)
recreation - I (or someone else with this output) can easily re-run the same commands because they're right there.
debugging - if there's an error, I can see which commands caused it
However, when I run commands using spss.Submit inside a python block (in a BEGIN PROGRAM-END PROGRAM block), the actual commands called aren't logged into the output window.
I know I can find a full log in a log file - but that's not helpful.
Is there a way to tell spss to continue to log all the commands in the output window?
You can use set mprint on. before the begin program statement to have the syntax that is run via spss.Submit()show up in the output window. I like simpy putting it on the very top of my syntax file as a "set it and forget it".
For example like so:
set mprint on.
begin program python3.
import spss
vars = list(range(1,11))
for var in vars:
spss.Submit(f'compute v{var} = 0. ')
end program.
The dxgettext Extract Translations GUI has a switch to Add likely ignores to ignore po file but I don't see the correspondent parameter when calling dxgettext as a command line.
I'm building a batch file doing several tasks when preparing a new release and I would like that the translations extraction step behaves similarly than when called from the UI, moving to a separate file the strings that will clearly not need to be translated.
These are the parameters that I'm using:
dxgettext -b MyProjectPath --delphi --nonascii -r --useignorepo --preserveUserComments
Thank you.
I had the same problem as you do. Tho solve it for my OpenSource image organizer application, I use the following batch file to extract the strings from the sources and remove all strings to be ignored:
c:\Utils\dxgettext -b . --delphi --nonascii --no-wrap -o:msgid -o .
c:\Utils\msgremove default.po -i OvbImgOrganizerLanguageIgnore.po -o OvbImgOrganizerLanguage.pot --no-wrap
del OvbImgOrganizerLanguageDefaultBak.po
ren default.po OvbImgOrganizerLanguageDefaultBak.po
This batch is run with current directory being the source code directory.
That dialog is provided by the GUI ggdxgettext tool.
By the look of it, the dxgettext command line tool does this automatically by default:
item := dom.order.Objects[j] as TPoEntry;
ignoreitem:=ignorelist.Find(item.MsgId);
if ignoreitem=nil then begin
newitem:=TPoEntry.Create;
newitem.Assign(item);
if not IsProbablyTranslatable( newitem,
nil,
nil) then
ignorelist.Add(newitem)
else
FreeAndNil (newitem);
end else begin
ignoreitem.AutoCommentList.Text:=item.AutoCommentList.Text;
end;
But I am not quite sure since I haven't tried to analyze the program flow.
The sources are available on SourceForge, so you can check yourself.
I'm trying to execute a simple erlang program of adding two numbers.
I'm trying to do this in Eclipse on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
When i execute this program, I'm getting the error as shown below:
** exception error: undefined function add:addfunc/0
How do i go about solving this error? Thanks in advance.
This program when executed in the erlang shell is working fine. But when it comes to eclipse it's giving me this error. Not this, any program for that matter is giving me the similar error. Guess I would be missing something about the eclipse configuration.
EDIT:
Anyways, This is the sample add program,
-module(add).
-export([addfunc/0]).
addfunc() ->
5 + 6.
This message tells you that module add doesn't have an exported function addfunc/0.
Ensure the function you want to be called has exactly that name, doesn't expect any
parameters, is
exported, the module is
compiled, the search path includes the compiled beam file and that there is no module clashes using code:clash()
Update
It's not clear how erlide (eclipse erlang plug-in you seem to use) compiles and runs a program. Try to compile source using erlc or inside erl shell. That way you'll have much easier controllable environment and you'll better understand what's going on.
I got exactly the same problem -for a tail recursive fibonacci function- below:
-module(math2).
-export([fibonacci/1]).
fibonacci(0) -> 0;
fibonacci(1) -> 1;
fibonacci(M) -> fibonacci(M-1) + fibonacci(M-2).
In the end, had realized that this is a compile-time exception. Then, have opened a new tab on my shell and tried with erlc, instead of erl.
$ erlc math2.erl
Now I am also able to see math2.beam file created.
Called fibonacci with 10:
4> math2:fibonacci(10).
55
and it worked!
I think you have not compiled the code and you are trying to run the program.
In eclipse, using the "Run" icon, trigger the run; which will get you to the erl shell in the console window.
There you do -
cd("C:\Learning_ERL\src").
And you should see output like-
(Learning-ERL#DALAKSHM-MNFSM)7> cd("C:\Learning_ERL\src").
c:/Learning_ERL/src
ok
Then compile the code -
c(add)
you should see something like this on the erl shell-
(Learning-ERL#DALAKSHM-MNFSM)10> c(add).
{ok,add}
Now you should be seeing a new file called - add.beam in the same directory as that of your erl source file - add.erl
add.beam is a bytecode file
Now you should be able to run the program without any error
How do you try to execute your code?
In your editor, right-click and choose "Run as"->"Erlang application". The VM that is launched will have your project loaded automatically and when editing/saving a file it will get reloaded. When launching, a console appears and you can call your code from there.
If it still doesn't work, what message do you get for m(add).?
For some specific purpose, I need to install some fonts on the instances. It comes as no surprise when I choose StartUp Task to accomplish that goal. I've configured the Service Definitions as below:
<Startup>
<Task commandLine="Fonts\InstallFonts.vbs" executionContext="elevated" taskType="simple" />
</Startup>
Nothing special here. Click and run, it failed. However, if I changed the commandLine into a cmd file including just nonsense, namely "echo test", the instance would run without ado. So there must be some issue with my scripting:
Const FONTS = &H14&
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetAbsolutePathName("."))
Set fontFolder = objShell.Namespace(FONTS)
Set rxTTF = New RegExp
rxTTF.IgnoreCase = True
rxTTF.Pattern = "\.ttf$"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FOR EACH FontFile IN objFolder.Items()
IF rxTTF.Test(FontFile.Path) THEN
IF NOT fso.FileExists(fontFolder.Self.Path+"\\"+FontFile.Name) THEN
FontFile.InvokeVerb("Install")
END IF
END IF
NEXT
The script should come with no error because I've tested it either locally or on Azure via RDP.
Weirdly, when I put it in the startup, the role just won't start. The instance just keeps recycling and at last says "I'm unhealthy". Even if I deprecate the vbs into just one line of code - the first line Const FONTS = &H14&, it just won't start. Even if I wrap the invocation of the vbs into a cmd file, namely to put something like "cscript /B file.vbs", it won't run either.
So I'm concluding that there must be some issue regarding the communication between the script and the Windows Azure monitor. I'm not sure but I think the monitor might take the running script as a failed task. Besides, I'm wondering if there is any timeout for the startup task, which should be the problem though, because the script can guarantee that no UI interaction block the process.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
I am sure you must have but just for the sake of confirmation, have you checked that the InstallFonts.vbs file is exported with the package? I mean is the "Copy To Output Directory" is set to "Copy Always/Copy if newer"?
This is pretty much possible that it is not able to locate your file.
You need to write a cmd file as a start up task. In your cmd file, you can call the vbs file using the command line tool cscript.
Azure start up can compile only command line tools.
Oh god, I finally solved the problem.
Although the compiler does quite a good job usually, it allows to use subfolder as a source of command, I mean something like "Subfolder\command.cmd", which will not work always. I've seen examples in which people put whatever we do in cmd in commandLine property, such as "copy fileA fileB" and it really works. But as for vbs, you need to be cautious. Until now I still don't know what's under the cover, but there should be some problem with the path. And the solution is definitely simple, instead of doing the subfolder work for tidiness, just leave the command file in the root folder like most people do:
<Startup>
<Task commandLine="InstallFonts.vbs" executionContext="elevated" taskType="simple" />
</Startup>
And thank you all the same, Kunal. :)
I'm trying to script a lua file to check if a certain file is open. Then I want it to close that file if it is open. I know how to check if the file exist but I need to know how to check if the file is open, meaning the file is running.
Lua, like C, C++, and pretty much every other language, can only close files that it opens itself. You cannot close files open by other people (not with standard Lua calls); this would be incredibly rude.
So you can't test to see if a file is opened by someone else. Nor can you close their file. There may be system API calls you could make to do this, but you would have to give Lua scripts access to those APIs yourself. Lua's standard libraries can't do this.
Sounds like you want to check which if any programs have a given file open.
first thing that comes to mind is parsing the output of lsof on linux.
fd = io.popen("lsof path/to/my/file")
fileopened = (#fd:read("a*") > 0)
Kind of a hacky way to do it, but it works:
processname = "process_name_here.exe"
filedata = io.popen("tasklist /NH /FO CSV /FI \"IMAGENAME eq "..processname.."\"")
output = filedata:read()
filedata:close()
if output ~= "INFO: No tasks are running which match the specified criteria." then
-- Program is running. Close the program
os.execute("taskkill -im "..processname)
else
-- Program is not running
end
Just make sure to replace "process_name_here.exe" with the process name that shows up in task manager
Alternatively you can just use this to close it without checking if it was actually running:
os.execute("taskkill -im process_name_here.exe")
