core dump checking script.

I was testing a program which crashing every now and then. It is very difficult in such scenarios to keep looking for the <a class="zem_slink" title="Core dump" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_dump">core file or keep checking for the running process. So I wrote this simple script that can check for core file in the particular path and keep running until it finds one. You can hack this script to send a mail once the core is found. This is a very simple script. And this should work on solaris too..

using cscope with vim

Here&#8217;s the best of the two links that I found with <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/google" title="Google" rel="homepage" href="http://google.com">Google and <a class="zem_slink" title="Bing" rel="homepage" href="http://bing.com/">Bing combined out of lots of links that I think can help you understand how to use cscope with vim, if you dont know already.

Finding all numbers that are bigger than 1 in vim

/^([2-9]d*|1d+)
If we have a csv like structure

The trick here is simple, lets look at the regex from the begining:

^ – start from the begining
() – start and end of block
[] – digits within this. So we are looking from 2 to 9 to exclude the numbers begining with 1
d – search for digits

• – search for one or more
  | – or operation
  1 – search for numbers begining with 1

• – containing atleast one occurence or more.<h6 class="zemanta-related-title">Related articles by Zemanta <ul class="zemanta-article-ul"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://sparksspace.blogspot.com/2009/10/adding-leading-zeros-in-excel.html">Adding Leading Zeros in Excel (sparksspace.blogspot.com)
