only program that is coming up is hitmanpro, every others get error
First of all, paste your code and error directly into your questions in the future.
Now then, the issue comes from the incorrect quotes being used. See how the first three pairs are kinda curly and the last ones are straight? Batch can't recognize curly quotes, probably because it's some Unicode thing. Always use straight quotes in batch. It's best if you code in notepad or a similar program; some text editors make the quotes curly automatically and call them "smart quotes."

I have been working on a product code to resolve an issue but am stuck on a line of code
Can anyone help me understand what exactly does this command do?
perl -MText::CSV -lne 'BEGIN{$p = Text::CSV->new()} print join "|", $p->fields() if $p->parse($_)' /home/daily/${FULL_FILENAME} > /home/output.txt
I think its to copy the file to my home location with some transformations but not sure exactly
This is a slightly broken program that translates a comma-separated values (CSV) file to a pipe-separated values file.
The particular command-line switches are documented in perlrun. This is a "one-liner", so you can read about those to see what's going on there.
The Text::CSV module deals with CSV files, and the program is parsing a line from the file and re-outputting as a pipe-separated file.
But, this program deals with each line as a complete record. That might be fine for you, but at some point you might end up with a literal value that has a newline in it, like a,"b\nc",d. Now reading line-by-line breaks the program since the quotes appear to be unclosed within the first line. Note only that, it blindly concatenates the parsed fields without considering if any of the fields should be quoted. It might be unlikely that a pipe character would be in the data, but the problem isn't it's rarity but the consequences and costliness when it does show up.
The rewrite.pl example script in the related module Text::CSV_XS is a tool that could replace this one-liner. It properly reads the input and knows how to properly translate it.
I am writing an mIRC script for a bot account to read a random line of text from a text file when a user keys in !read. As of now, when any user types !read, absolutely nothing happens. I have other commands set to work on TEXT commands, but this one seems to be the most puzzling, as I'm referencing a document rather than putting everything into the script itself.
on *:TEXT:!text:#: {
$read(C:\Program Files (x86)\mIRC\8Ball.txt,n)
}
My file is titled 8Ball.txt. What could be going wrong here?
Got it.
echo -a $read(C:\Users\Christopher\Desktop\8Ball.txt,n)
Changing the directory ended up doing it...it wasn't liking the location for some reason...I either blame me putting a / in front of echo, or I blame the space in Program Files (x86)
Your best move is to use the relative mIRC dir identifier $mircdir combing it with $qt which adds enclosing quotes.
$qt($+($mircdir,8Ball.txt))
Output:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\mIRC\8Ball.txt"
This way, you won't need to wonder why the script break when you changed the mIRC directory a year after.
I could not find this answer in the man or info pages, nor with a search here or on Google. I have a file which is, in essence, a text file, but it somehow got screwed up upon saving. (I think there are a few strange bytes at the front of the file accidentally.)
I am able to open the file, and it makes sense, using head or cat, but not using any sort of editor.
In the end, all I wish to do is open the file in emacs, delete the "messy" characters, and save it once cleaned up. The file, however, is huge, so I need something powerful like emacs to be able to open it.
Otherwise, I suppose I can try to create a script to read this in line by line, forcing the script to read it in text format, then write it. But I wanted something quick, since I won't be doing this over & over.
Thanks!

perl -i.bk -pe 's/[^[:ascii:]]//g;' file
Found this perl one liner here: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=619792
Try M-xfind-file-literally in Emacs.
You could edit the file using hexl-mode, which lets you edit the file in hexadecimal. That would let you see precisely what those offending characters are, and remove them.
It sounds like you either got a different line ending in the file (eg: carriage returns on a *nix system) or it got saved in an unexpected encoding.
You could use strings to grab "printable characters in file". You might have to play with the --encoding though I have only ever used it to grab ascii strings from executable files.
I am wondering if I have some code with line numbers embedded,
1 int a;
2 MyC b;
3 YourC c;
etc., and then I copy them and try to paste them in Eclipse, how to get rid of these line numbers to make the source code valid? Is there any convenient way, or a short-cut key?
Thank you.
Simply use the Alt+Shift+A (Eclipse 3.5 M5 and above) shortcut to toggle block selection mode. Then select the column with line numbers and delete it!
To make it easier you could setup a macro, but for that you need additional plug-in. I'm not aware of how to do it even easier.
Try this link. This is a dynamic online tool, where it is very easy to just copy paste code and get code without line numbers:
http://remove-line-numbers.ruurtjan.com/
You could use some script to do the work. For instance, using sed
I removed line numbers by find and replace with regular expression option.
Replacing regular expression \d+\s\s with empty string where \d+ means any combination of numbers and \s is actually a space (This is to avoid any numbers present in the code).
Best way is use SED command. Here you can specify as many as digit you want to replace.
in below example open copied code in VI editor and assuming its containing upto 1000 lines.
:%s/^[0-9][0-9|10-99|100-999]//g
if you want to use more lines then put one more or condition.
My Localizable.strings file has somehow been corrupted and I don't know how to restore it.
If I open it as a Plain Text File it starts with weird characters that I can't copy here.
If I leave the file be the app builds. If I make any changes either the values aren't interpreted properly or I get an error at compile time.
Localizable.strings: Conversion of string failed. The string is empty.
Command /Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/CoreBuildTasks.xcplugin/Contents/Resources/copystrings failed with exit code 1
I suspect this is an encoding problem but I don't know how it happened (maybe SVN is to blame?) nor how to solve it. Any tips will be much more appreciated.
I have issues with the same file that sound very similar to your own. What happens for me is that Xcode doesn't know the correct file formating. I often get this when rearranging the project and I remove and re-add this file to the Xcode project. When I re-add the file, its encoding gets set to something like Western Roman which can't seem to render anything other than ASCII.
Here's what I do to fix the problem:
In Xcode select the Localizable.stings file in the Groups&Files panel.
Do a Get Info on that file.
On the info panel select the General tab.
In that tab go to the File Encoding and change its value.
The last step is where the trick lies as you now have to guess the right encoding. I find that for most European languages that "Unicode (UTF-8)" works. And for Asian languages I find that "Unicode (UTF-16/32)" are the ones to try.
I just had that error because I forgot a semicolon. Took me a while to figure it out. Seems like a really ambiguous compiler error but the fix was simple.
Make sure in File-Get Info, that UTF-16 is selected. If it's set to none or UTF-8 as encoding then you need to change it. If your characters have spaces between them then you choose to "re-interpret" the file as UTF-16. If there are weird characters in the file, then you need to remove them.
Execpt the UTF-8 problem, sometimes you still have to check the content in case if there are some syntax problems.
Use the following Regular Expression to verify your text line by line, if there's any line not matched, there must be a problem.
"(.+?)"="(.+?)";
You can use the plutil command line tool. Without options or with the -lint option, it checks the syntax of the file given as argument. It will tell you more precisely where the error is.
This happens to me when there is a missing quote or something not right with the file. MOst commonly, since my language files are done by another team member, he tends to forget a quote or something. Usually XCode shows an error on that line, sometimes it does'nt and just throws "Corrupted data" error.
Double check if all your strings are properly closed in quotes
Open the file in Xcode.
Right click it in Project Navigator.
Select Open as -> ASCII Property List
