| somian | What I *can't* do in cygwin X11 remotely is run bloody Image Magick "display" on this display ;-( |
| jdv79 | i need to either blow something up or drink a bunch |
| cfedde | heh. time was that I did about 10 hours at work then another 5 or so whenI got home. |
| somian | So I cannot look at my collection of walpaper, for example. |
| Caelum | cygwin imagemagick is not X11 based? |
| somian | Hey, Caelum! Hey, it's you r fault I am enjoying Urxvt these days, isn't it? |
| Caelum | :) |
| adante | hi folks, i'm just wondering if there is a 'smart' way to parse a string uh, sorry wrong window |
| dhar | yes? |
| Jmax- | what sort of string? |
| jdv79 | adante: funny |
| somian | I love it, it is so fast. |
| action | CPAN upload: Date-Holidays-Super-0.03 by JONASBN |
| CPAN | upload: Date-Holidays-Super-0.03 by JONASBN |
| adante | meant to ask in #java, heh |
| jdv79 | good luck |
| Jmax- | haha oh man |
| jdv79 | that's gonna HURT |
| somian | "Bad library call" happens when display.exe is started remotely. |
| cfedde | perl has so many smart ways to parse a string. |
| Caelum | java 1.5 put regex into the String class, from what I hear |
| dhar | nice |
| somian | I wonder ... |
| Caelum | somian: weird, it's probably a win32 gui. You can always use rdesktop |
| nanonyme | yeah, i remember people trying to search stuff inside a string in java not knowing that it's a regex search let alone knowing what regex is :) you get weird times when you don't know you should escape some characters... ^^ |
| Caelum | instantiate the regular expression factory! |
| nanonyme | aijjj |
| cfedde | uffda |
| somian | Caelum: it isn't. |
| adante | well for those who were interested i was trying to find a relatively painless way to substitue variables eg so i could replace $VAR in "string is $VAR", but still allow for $ to be escaped eg "string is \$VAR" would not replace |
| somian | That[ never happened and if it ain't happened by now, I doubt that it ever will. That's* |
| adante | out of curiousity how would one do that in perl? |
| somian | The IM people are by and large terrifically Unix-oriented. I doubt that Glenn Randers-Pehrson has ever used a microsoft sysyem in his life. |
| Caelum | adante: s/(?<!\\)\$VAR/whatever/ or something |
| somian | The native MS port of IM is just a fragment rendition of the unix package. |
| adante | Caelum: hm, but that would still catch \\$VAR wouldn't it (in this case I would prefer \\ to be treated as literal '\' and $VAR replaced accordingly) |
| revdiablo | somian: IM? |
| somian | I-M if you prefer. |
