YOU ROCK!
Thank you so much for the “Add “Hello ” to the beginning and ” World” to the end of every line” example.

“Remove spaces and tab characters at the end of a line” is what I’m looking for.

Comment on “JFolder::create: Could not create directory” error in Joomla 1.5.* on IIS. by Ken

Very nice tip.

This was precisely my situation, having ported from one server to another, and I had /home2 in the tmp path, whereas the new server uses /home.

Also, the word FIX in your title, made it easy to pick out this page in the Google results.

Kudos!

Here's how to convert csv to xml with a (quite large) regexp you can alter/extend for your needs. Regexp: ^"$[[:print:]]+$","$[[:print:]]+$","$[[:print:]]+$" replace with: \1\2\3 Cheers Paul

I have found this problem is often to do with ownership of the files on a linux server.
an easy solution I have found is to login using SSH and chown all the files in the installation to owner apache:apache, this seems to solve all the problems.

Hi Ben,

This seems to work:

–incognito –homepage=”www.youraddress.com”

But I dont have default tabs setup so it might not work for you. Please tell me how you get on.

Cheers,
Ben

Comment on A ’shortcut icon’ for Google Chrome Incognito by Ben Nuttall

These are a great couple of articles – really useful! (exactly what I was looking for)

I now have a quickstart icon specifically for Incognito Mode (using your icon lol)

Just one thing I’d like on top of this – is it possible to have an Incognito shortcut which specifies which URL to go to? (it’s currently opening my default tabs – which wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have 5 (all of which redirect to login pages in Incognito Mode)

I’ve tried adding –http://www.google.co.uk/ in conjunction with −−incognito (in both orders, and with/without hyphens)

Thanks for the help you’ve already provided – hope you can help me further!

Ben

Comment on Format the footer [subscribe] link in AcaJoom newsletters by Joomla Bear

Ok I worked this one out – There is an option in the autoresponder config – turn this off and manually edit the template so that subscription tag is not included.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for posting about the Textpad Regular Expressions.

I have a question.
In a txt-file I’m trying to remove all text between curly brackets including the curly brackets themselves.

I can’t seem to get the regular expression right.

Could you give me some help?

Much obliged,

Waldemar

@HoC. It is actually common practice for abbreviated switches to use a single hyphen (e.g. -c -f) and long-name switches to use two hyphen. This is more prevalent in the Linux/Unix world than Windows at the moment.

Hi Matt,

If you just want to add “something” and then a line-break to ANY line you could use this:

find: $^.*$

replace: \1something

It’s the use of parenthesis that allow the ‘replacement expression’ to work.

Textpad help, To make a long story short, do you know how find say a number sequence and replace with additional text without changing the number you used to search on it the first place?

find: [0-9]\n$
replace with: keep the same only add something unique to the ending [same as before]~\n

Comment on Textpad Regular Expressions by Nico

Nico — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 23:09:44 +0000

Thanks. This was really helpful.

I’ve been using TextPad for everything — with the exception of exploding X12 files. The files are one really long line with segments separated by tildes (~). I tried doing a find/replace on “~” and replacing them with a new line character “\n” but TextPad would always put the actual text “\n” instead of breaking the line. In these cases I would always open the file in Word and use their find/replace to replace the tildes with new paragraphs “^p” and then copy the result back into TextPad.

Now I know that in TextPad all I have to do for this to work is to check the “Regular Expression” box and it works!

Thanks a bunch!!

Comment on A ’shortcut icon’ for Google Chrome Incognito by Nico

Nico — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 22:59:07 +0000

Thanks for the good how-to. I spent a few minutes looking for an icon to use just for this before landing on your site. I ended up going with an Icon that was just put in the Sepia tone. (http://opindian.com/blog/2008/09/16/google-chrome-icon-png-in-sepia/)

It kind of matches the greyed out look of Incognito mode too!

Comment on Launch Google Chrome in ‘Incognito’ mode from a shortcut by HoC

HoC — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:52:59 +0000

I notice that in your solution and in your screenshot you are using two hyphens (’–’) for your command line switch. This usually isn’t the case, with application switches requiring only one leading hyphen (i.e. -incognito). It will work fne with two, but just thought you might like to know anyway :)

Comment on Add a ‘Purge Deleted Messages’ button for IMAP e-mail in Outlook 2003 by Rodney

I believe this to be a useful workaround.

I noticed a small typo in the ‘to do this’ section under the 5th bullet point. The word ‘left’ should read ‘let’.

Keep up the good work!!
