String concatenation is done simply by writing expressions next to one another without any operator. For example: BEGIN { user = "root" print "Hello "user "!" } will print: Hello root! Note that expressions do not have to be separated by whitespace.

Nine-patch images allow optional definition of the padding lines in the image. The padding lines are the lines on the right and at the bottom. If a View sets the 9-patch image as its background, the padding lines are used to define the space for the View's content (e.g. the text input in an EditTex...

This is MATLAB's long-winded way of saying that it cannot find the function that you're trying to call. There are a number of reasons you could get this error: That function was introduced after your current version of MATLAB The MATLAB online documentation provides a very nice feature which allow...

This example uses a search controller to filter the data inside a table view controller. The search bar is placed inside the navigation bar that the table view is embedded into. Embed a UITableViewController into a UINavigationController to get the UINavigationItem (which contains the navigation ...

This example uses a search controller to filter the cells in a table view controller. The search bar is placed inside the header view of the table view. The table view content is offset with the same height as the search bar so that the search bar is hidden at first. Upon scrolling up past the top e...

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...

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...

This hook works similarly to the post-commit hook, but it's called whenever you successfully check out a reference with git checkout. This could be a useful tool for clearing out your working directory of auto-generated files that would otherwise cause confusion. This hook accepts three parameters:...

This hook is called after a successful push operation. It is typically used for notification purposes. The script takes no parameters, but is sent the same information as pre-receive via standard input: <old-value> <new-value> <ref-name>

This hook is executed every time you run git commit, to verify what is about to be committed. You can use this hook to inspect the snapshot that is about to be committed. This type of hook is useful for running automated tests to make sure the incoming commit doesn't break existing functionality of...

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 executed every time somebody uses git push to push commits to the repository. It always resides in the remote repository that is the destination of the push and not in the originating (local) repository. The hook runs before any references are updated. It is typically used to enforce a...

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...
