Newbie question about Groovy/Java?
Q. I know this is probably a really stupid question, but I've been digging around for hours, and have been unable to find anything on this. I'm a PHP/Python guy, so I'm not 100% sure how Java works. I am trying to compile an existing open source project written in Groovy. I figured out how to compile it with ant, but I can't seem to run it. I have a directory full of class files. Running them with the "java" command with the groovy jar files in the classpath gives me a "main class not found" error. Without the groovy jar in the classpath, it says it is unable to find the groovy libs or something. If I run the class files with the "groovy" command, it always says I have an unrecognized character. I know I'm… [cont.]

A. What I would do is do a: grep "public void main(" -l * */* */*/* on the directory where the .java files are, that should output the main class which you should run, if for instance you get app/li/cat/ion/Runner.java as output run it with java app.li.cat.ion.Runner

A. If you really want to make something that will be useful and usable from day one, think "local". I don't know where you live but use the location in the name and if the .COM name is gone, try .BIZ .INFO, .CO.UK etc. The more specific the locality i.e. your town or village rather than the nearest city, the easier it will be to fill it with data about local businesses. For example, if you live in Headingley, go for www.headingley.biz or www.headingleypages.biz, rather than something with Leeds in the name. Hope that helps and good luck with your project.

How to Code a Program that Scans ALL the TXT Files in One Given Directory (C Language)?
Q. I was given a little project about searching a piece of string in more than one TXT files (that their name isn't already specified in the program, i.e not like "filevar = fopen("file.txt",r+);"; ANY existing TXT file should be opened and scanned by the program) in a given directory (directory name should also be put by the user). Searching the string in one specific file is not a big problem for me, but I have no idea how to build the program in such a way it will open, scan and close ALL the TXT files one by one (and ONLY the TXT files) in one directory. Is there a special codeline for such a thing that I haven't encountered?

why are these aspx pages hating visual studio so much?
Q. I am doing this side job and it is making me crazy already. It was supposed to be asp but I see that most of the site is aspx. So I cleaned off my computer, gritted my teeth and installed visual studio. Now I dowloaded the site, and put the files in a directory. I opened VS and made a new site. It made a folder >>> Mydocuments/visualstudio2005/website1 I closed VS and I moved the existing aspx pages and all their crap into that folder and then reopened up visual studio. I opened up default.aspx and it came up in source view with a ton of errors. I can read the source just fine, but it will not switch over to design view. Any ideas on what the heck might be wrong here? BTW The pages work online. Example error: Warning 2 Attribute 'C [cont.]
Asked by lalewicz - Sun Jul 6 21:22:17 2008 - Programming & Design - 1 Answers - Comments

A. ASPX pages are ASP application pages - that means that the pages need an application (defined in IIS) to be able to run. Without the application, all you can do is manually edit the files, and use VWD to generate an on-the-fly application using the localhost server. Which is why I hate asp, but that's an aside.

A. Three quick possible things: 1. Did you actually '#include' it in the program? 2. Is the path to the file the same as what the IDE thinks it is? 3. Is this file actually corrupted or zero length? If the answer to 1 or 2 is no, then that is the problem. If the answer to number 3 is yes, that is the problem. I hope this helps you out. Pivy.

A. Taking everything you said into consideration something is obviously wrong with their site. What I would do if I was you and really wanted to get my site listed there follow their instructions on becoming a editor then you can put your site there yourself. Join the Open Directory Project Find a category that you would like to maintain. Follow the Become an Editor link at the top of the category page. Note that some categories do not have a Become an Editor link; you should find a more specific category which interests you, and apply there. Once you have joined, and gained some experience, you can apply for more general categories.

Additional information: index.php is seen properly on both localhost and on the server.

A. While dmoz has historically been a showcat directory placement - the work involved has largely outweighed the benefit for some time. You will typically wait an excessively long time to see if you've been accepted with no accountability if you haven't. For my sites and my client's sites, we've found better benefit working through other directories.

How can I get Microsoft's Search to properly search inside text based files that don't have a .txt extension?
Q. I am working with another software vendors sample .java files (a couple hundred) and occasionally need to find one that demonstrates how to use their API. Their API set has over 10,000 objects and the documentation unfortunately is, more often than not, lacking details (i.e. a method takes "int arg1, int arg2" but really they are wanting some sort of enumerated object). I have done both explicit searches (*.java) and open searches (*.*) to find files containing keywords but the Microsoft search does not find files that contain the words.

A. I'm not a big fan of Microsoft's search so I don't use it very often and I'm not an expert by any means. So these are just some random thoughts based on search parameters used by Google (and most other full-text search engines.) Google makes big use of the Boolean modifiers + (must include), - (must not include), | (pipe symbol, to specify or), and finally ~ (synonym). And specific phrases are enclosed in quotes. +"three blind mice" -"see how they run" is a simple search indicator that specifies the search must include the words "three blind mice" but must not include "see how they run". Since I'm not an expert, I don't know if Microsoft's search engine uses special syntaxes like Google. One of… [cont.]

A. By submitting your web site to dmoz and being accepted in the open directory, your site will be listed in a good number of directories. And that's a very good thing. You can have your web site spidered by Google, Yahoo, MSN and others by submitting your site to them. Search engine rank is more a function of two things.
