Early bound (requires a reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime): Public Sub EnumerateDirectory() Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject Dim targetFolder As Folder Set targetFolder = fso.GetFolder("C:\") Dim foundFi...

A helper function to create a bitmap copy of an object. This can be used to convert vector objects, text or complex nested Sprite's to a flattened bitmap. function makeBitmapCopy(displayObj:IBitmapDrawable, transparent:Boolean = false, bgColor:uint = 0x00000000, smooth:Boolean = true):Bitmap { ...

Undo changes to a file or directory in the working copy. git checkout -- file.txt Used over all file paths, recursively from the current directory, it will undo all changes in the working copy. git checkout -- . To only undo parts of the changes use --patch. You will be asked, for each chang...

It is considered good practice to use a prefix when creating git archives, so that extraction will place all files inside a directory. To create an archive of HEAD with a directory prefix: git archive --output=archive-HEAD.zip --prefix=src-directory-name HEAD When extracted all the files will be...

It is also possible to create archives of other items than HEAD, such as branches, commits, tags, and directories. To create an archive of a local branch dev: git archive --output=archive-dev.zip --prefix=src-directory-name dev To create an archive of a remote branch origin/dev: git archive --...

With git archive it is possible to create compressed archives of a repository, for example for distributing releases. Create a tar archive of current HEAD revision: git archive --format tar HEAD | cat > archive-HEAD.tar Create a tar archive of current HEAD revision with gzip compression: gi...

MATLAB supports the use of logical masking in order to perform selection on a matrix without the use of for loops or if statements. A logical mask is defined as a matrix composed of only 1 and 0. For example: mask = [1 0 0; 0 1 0; 0 0 1]; is a logical matrix representing the identity matrix. ...

Creating a list from 1 to 10 is simple using range notation: [1..10] -- [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] To specify a step, add a comma and the next element after the start element: [1,3..10] -- [1,3,5,7,9] Note that Haskell always takes the step as the arithmetic difference between terms, and tha...

Local hooks affect only the local repositories in which they reside. Each developer can alter their own local hooks, so they can't be used reliably as a way to enforce a commit policy. They are designed to make it easier for developers to adhere to certain guidelines and avoid potential problems dow...

This hook is called after the pre-commit hook to populate the text editor with a commit message. This is typically used to alter the automatically generated commit messages for squashed or merged commits. One to three arguments are passed to this hook: The name of a temporary file that contains ...

This hook is called before git rebase begins to alter code structure. This hook is typically used for making sure a rebase operation is appropriate. This hook takes 2 parameters: the upstream branch that the series was forked from, and the branch being rebased (empty when rebasing the current b...

This hook is called after pre-receive, and it works the same way. It's called before anything is actually updated, but is called separately for each ref that was pushed rather than all of the refs at once. This hook accepts the following 3 arguments: name of the ref being updated, old object na...

This program illustrates how one can copy a file using readable and writable streams using the createReadStream(), and createWriteStream() functions provided by the file system module. //Require the file System module var fs = require('fs'); /* Create readable stream to file in current direc...

Sometimes it might be necessary to manually promisify a callback function. This could be for a case where the callback does not follow the standard error-first format or if additional logic is needed to promisify: Example with fs.exists(path, callback): var fs = require('fs'); var existsAsync =...

Sometimes you just need a diff to apply using patch. The regular git --diff does not work. Try this instead: git diff --no-prefix > some_file.patch Then somewhere else you can reverse it: patch -p0 < some_file.patch

var express = require('express'); var cors = require('cors'); // Use cors module for enable Cross-origin resource sharing var app = express(); app.use(cors()); // for all routes var port = process.env.PORT || 8080; app.get('/', function(req, res) { var info = { 'string_value...

Node.js has 3 basic ways to handle exceptions/errors: try-catch block error as the first argument to a callback emit an error event using eventEmitter try-catch is used to catch the exceptions thrown from the synchronous code execution. If the caller (or the caller's caller, ...) used try/ca...
