First, this board needs a ruby forum. I write lots of things that I find kinda neat that I hope other people could use.

Code: https://gist.github.com/940265

Basically, I want to be able to search a file or files without having to open them, such as in a compile script or whatnot. Generally, it's for the words "to do" or something like that, to remind myself that I still need to do something.

Consider this test file:
[william@NCC-1701 ~/Dropbox]$ cat /tmp/filewithtokens
this is a test file
some of these lines have no tokens
but other lines do have to do tokens
like that one, but not this one

If I want to test it for the default tokens, I can do this:
[william@NCC-1701 ~]$ tokenls /tmp/filewithtokens
/tmp/filewithtokens:3: but other lines do have to do tokens

Perhaps you want to keep a really simple calendar:
[william@NCC-1701 ~]$ cat /tmp/appointments
2011/04/23 5:30PM Do something
2011/04/26 5:30PM Do something else

What do you have to do on the 26th?
[william@NCC-1701 ~]$ tokenls --tokens=2011/04/26 /tmp/appointments
/tmp/appointments:2: 2011/04/26 5:30PM Do something else

All the token checking is case insensitive, which I think is better since this was intended for code. If anyone has any ideas on how this could be made better, let me know.

Yeah.

I'm drinking and playing SC2. Then I'm going to go to bed, wake up, eat, and probably drink and play SC2.

How 'bout you?

I'm two-year bumping the four-year bump, which doesn't count as a bump since it was only the third topic down or so.

felbot.googlecode.com

I think I made progress, but can anyone tell me what it means to hash a CD-key?

Told you Grok was an Ogre.

Has Arta stated that this is the new official BnetDocs? Until he officially says that, you should stop advertising it as official, and from what I've seen, he hasn't.

I'm running Ubuntu Linux, Dapper Drake on one machine, and Windows XP Pro on another machine. Currently, the Windows machine is routing connections, however very soon I'm getting broadband and an actual router will be doing this. For the time being, is there any simple way to make the Windows machine give the Linux machine a static IP address? Re-configuring my port routing rules every time a machine reboots or does something funny is a royal pain.

I'm not old enough to remember any of this, but back in the original days of Diablo, did Battle.net support IRC clients? I know Telnet was dropped recently, but there's been some commotion about whether or not IRC was actually supported, since a few old bots (I can't cite any off-hand) supported it as a client.

I guess I've always just assumed Spht was so manly he had to be a man, but this reminded me that (s)he never clearly told us.

Let's end the questioning. What is a Spht?

People have started reporting failed passwords being sent to Battle.net with JavaOp2 lately, raising this question in my mind:

Before hashing the password, is there anything that needs to be done to it? They're reporting mixed-cases failing, and my password works but is all lowercase. I'm inferring that it needs to be put to lowercase before hashing. Is this correct?

BnetDocs is down so I can't find it right now, but in C>S theres a Language ID field marked "under research".

I'm not sure what you guys have for leads on it right now, but war3.mpq\config.txt includes this:

// Set the LANGID in [Game] to one of these unquoted constants:

[Battle.net]
LANGID='enUS'

I'm not sure if it's the same thing, but it could be.

You're going to call me a dumbass for this, I just know it, but how the fuck are you supposed to load a library (say, lockdown-IX86-08.dll) at any given time, find a function (say, CheckRevision), and execute that function?

The obvious answer is LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress, but you can't map GetProcAddress back to a callable function in C# (or can you?).

Also, how am I supposed to change a String to a char*? And an int to a LPDWORD? CheckRevision, from the DLL, expects pointers to a char array, as well as a ByReference DWORD for checksum and a ByReference char array for the version check statstring (formerly, exeinfo).

Thanks for any help.

How do these rate for overclocking? I don't plan on doing it right away, but as I get closer to buying an even newer machine (a few years down the road) and don't mind cutting a few years from it's life by overvolting it or something, I'd like the feature to be there.

I've tried with both 0x09 and 0x1A, on both USEast and USWest, each time failing. Here's a packet-log from a USEast attempt with 0x09. [Note that the packet data starts at 0x36]

I am completely confused as to what is going wrong. If you'd like a packet log of me using 0x1A, I'll get you one on request.

Sometimes I'll pass version check and sometimes I'll fail. I've noticed that I pass with strings in the format of A, B, C, but fail otherwise.

Pass:

Is anyone else noticing this behavior?

Perhaps I'm not sending something correctly, and it's coincidental that I even pass at all?

This question has been debated over in the back of my head several times since an inservice at work where we discussed spinal injury CPR and backboarding, and the manager stated that the Red Cross puts more priority on them surviving than them not having a broken back, so he said we would not tie them down to the backboard, but get them out of the water as quickly as possible to begin CPR.

Not that what you say here matters to them anyhow, but would you rather be properly backboarded and run the risk of death, or be improprerly backboarded and run the risk of paralysis?

Um.. this is a dumb question, but where is this setting in Windows 98, if anyone still uses that?

For a project I'm making, there's a glue class between some plugin DLL's and the main program itself. The glue class will have an Initialize function where several things, primarily a reference to the socket in use, and the AddressOf to the AddChat procedure, will be passed.

From there, though, I'd like to include an AddChat procedure in that class which will call the AddressOf that was passed to it in Initialize, thus calling the real AddChat.

Does anyone know how to do this?

My school's computer system uses some sort of Novell system, running on top of XP Pro, for managing student's documents / internet priveliges. I have a legit account on this network.

Whenever I take my laptop to school and plug it into a stray ethernet cable (of course with the teachers permission), I'm able to resolve but not connect / transfer via UDP. Example, I can run ping on google, resolve it to an IP address and start sending packets, but I'm unable to get data.

Do you know any way I can authorize with the system and be allowed to use the network?
