I want to simulate a specific case of the UNIX rename() function to rename directories. Its MAN page specifies:
oldpath can specify a directory. In this case, newpath must either not exist, or it must specify an empty directory.
I want to simulate the last case:
newpath exists and is empty.
So I have created the directories foo_dir and bar_dir and called MoveFileEx() in order to rename foo_dir to bar_dir. Here is the code without error management:
mkdir("foo_dir");
mkdir("bar_dir");
MoveFileEx("foo_dir", "bar_dir", MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING)
But MoveFileEx() always fails with error 5 (access denied). I have tried with other flags for MoveFileEx() without success.
Must I manually remove bar_dir if it exists and is empty before calling MoveFileEx()? Or is there another solution?
I have not tried ReplaceFile() yet.

I need to download many files from a server (specifically tectia) ideally using the ssh package. These files all follow the a predictable pattern across multiple sub folders. The filepath is formatted like this
/directory/subfolder/A001/abcde001.csv
Where A001 counts up alongside the last 3 digits of the filename (/A002/abcde002.csv and so on)
In the vignette for scp_download it states that the files parameter may contain wildcards so I have tried to do something like
scp_download(session, "/directory/subfolder/A.*/abcde.*[.]csv", to=tempdir())
and
scp_download(session, "directory/subfolder/A\\d{3}/abcde\\d{3}[.]csv", to=tempdir())
but no matter which combination of patterns or wildcards I can think of (which isn't many) I only get something like
Warning: SSH warning: scp: /directory/subfolder/A\d{3}/abcde\d{3}[.]csv: No such file or directory
What I'm hoping to do is either find a way to do pattern matching here, or to find a way to store tectia directories as a string to be read by scp_download. I've made sure that my session is connected properly and it works without attempting to pattern match, which it does.
I had the same problem. The problem is that when you use * in your pattern it gets escaped when you send it to the server. However, when you request a special file name like this /directory/subfolder/A001/abcde001.csv, it works fine.
Finally I changed my code based on the below steps:
I got the list of files/folders using ls command with ssh_exec_wait function and then store them on a variable.
Download files in the variable separately
session <- ssh_connect("username#ip",passwd="password")
files<-capture.output(ssh_exec_wait(session, command = 'ls /directory/subfolder/A001/*'))
dnc1<- scp_download(session, files[1], to = paste0(getwd(),"/data/"))
dnc2<- scp_download(session, files[2], to = paste0(getwd(),"/data/"))
dnc3<- scp_download(session, files[3], to = paste0(getwd(),"/data/"))
The bottom 3 commands can be done in a loop as this could be hundreds or thousands of records.
In Julia, I can get the current directory from
#__DIR__
For example, when I run the above in the "Current" folder, it gives me
"/Users/jtheath/Dropbox/Research/Projects/Coding/Current"
However, I want it to return one folder above the present folder; i.e.,
"/Users/jtheath/Dropbox/Research/Projects/Coding"
Is there an easy way to do this in a Julia script?
First, please note that #__DIR__ generally expands to the directory of the current source file (it does however return the current working directory if there are no source files involved, e.g when run from the REPL). In order to reliably get the current working directory, you should rather use pwd().
Now to your real question: I think the easiest way to get the path to the parent directory would be to simply use dirname:
julia> dirname("/Users/jtheath/Dropbox/Research/Projects/Coding/Current")
"/Users/jtheath/Dropbox/Research/Projects/Coding"
Note that AFAIU this only uses string manipulations, and does not care whether the paths involved actually exist in the filesystem (which is why the example above works on my system although I do not have the same filesystem structure as you). dirname is also relatively sensitive to the presence/absence of a trailing slash (which shouldn't be a problem if you feed it something that comes directly from pwd() or #__DIR__).
I sometimes also use something like this, in the hope that it might be more robust when I want to work with paths that actually exist in the filesystem:
julia> curdir = pwd()
"/home/francois"
julia> abspath(joinpath(curdir, ".."))
"/home/"
I'm trying to write a bunch of functions in an SML file and then load them into the interpreter. I've been googling and came across this:
http://www.smlnj.org/doc/interact.html
Which has this section:
Loading ML source text from a file
The function use: string -> unit interprets its argument as a file name relative to sml's current directory and loads the text from that file as though it had been typed in. This should normally be executed at top level, but the loaded files can also contain calls of use to recursively load other files.
So I have a test.sml file in my current directory. I run sml, all good so far. Then I try use test.sml; and I get:
stdIn:1.6-1.14 Error: unbound structure: test in path test.sml
Not sure why this isn't working. Any ideas?
Thanks,
bclayman
As you mentioned, the function use has type string -> unit. This means it takes a string and returns unit. When you do use test.sml, you are not giving it a string. You need to do use "test.sml" (notice the quotes)
I am new to robot framework and wanted to see if i can get any simple code for custom report. I am also fine with answer to my problem. I went through all questions related to report but could not find any specific answer to my problem. currently my report contains log and wanted to see if i can remove log information from reports and save report in specific location. I just want to get PASS/FAIL information in my report. Can any one give me example how i can overcome this problem? I also need to know how i can save my report in different location. Any example would be helpful. Thank you in advance.
There is a tool called Rebot which is part of Robot Framework.
By default, Robot Framework creates XML reports. The XML reports are automatically converted into HTML reports by Rebot.
You can set the location of the output files in the execution by specifying the parameter --outputdir (and thus set a different base directory for outputs).
From the documentaiton:
All output files can be set using an absolute path, in which case they are created to the specified place, but in other cases, the path is considered relative to the output directory. The default output directory is the directory where the execution is started from, but it can be altered with the --outputdir (-d) option. The path set with this option is, again, relative to the execution directory, but can naturally be given also as an absolute path. Regardless of how a path to an individual output file is obtained, its parent directory is created automatically, if it does not exist already.
You can call Rebot yourself to control this conversion.
You can also run Rebot after the test was run in order to create new output on a different location.
See documentation in:
http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#post-processing-outputs
The following example shows how to store the HTML reports in a different location and including only partial data:
rebot --include smoke --name Smoke_Tests c:\results\output.xml --outputdir c:\version1.0\reports
In the example above, we process the file c:\results\output.xml, create a new report called Smoke_Tests that includes only tests with the tag smoke and save it to the output folder c:\version1.0\reports
In addition you can also set the location of the log file (HTML) from the execution.
The command line option --log (-l) determines where log files are created.
The command line option --report (-r) determines where report files are created
Removing log lines can be done a bit differently. If you run rebot --help you'll get the following options:
--removekeywords all|passed|for|wuks|name: * Remove keyword data
from all generated outputs. Keywords containing
warnings are not removed except in `all` mode.
all: remove data from all keywords
passed: remove data only from keywords in passed
test cases and suites
for: remove passed iterations from for loops
wuks: remove all but the last failing keyword
inside `BuiltIn.Wait Until Keyword Succeeds`
name:: remove data from keywords that match
the given pattern. The pattern is matched
against the full name of the keyword (e.g.
'MyLib.Keyword', 'resource.Second Keyword'),
is case, space, and underscore insensitive,
and may contain `*` and `?` as wildcards.
Examples: --removekeywords name:Lib.HugeKw
--removekeywords name:myresource.*
--flattenkeywords for|foritem|name: * Flattens matching keywords
in all generated outputs. Matching keywords get all
log messages from their child keywords and children
are discarded otherwise.
for: flatten for loops fully
foritem: flatten individual for loop iterations
name:: flatten matched keywords using same
matching rules as with
`--removekeywords name:`
I am using the following code to try and find a file contained in another directory from my code file.
Set fi=fs.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("~/counter/counter.txt"), 1)
I have also tried.
Set fi=fs.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("./root/folder1/counter/counter.txt"), 1)
In either case this should get me back to the counter.txt file. From what I understand ~/ moves up 1 directory and ./ moves up to the root directory.
Both times however I receive an error saying an invalid character has been used. When removing these I get a different error saying the path cannot be found (Which I would expect because it is not a valid path without moving up 1 directory).
What are the valid characters to do the following in VBscript:
move up a single directory?
move up to the root directory?
Thanks for the help
A few things:
The tilde character "~" is not valid here.
The single period character "." is for specifying the current directory/folder.
A set of period characters ".." is for specifying the parent directory/folder. For example, to refer to a file found in the parent of the current directory, you might use:
Server.MapPath("../counter.txt")
You can chain these to walk up more than a single parent path. To refer to a file found three directories above the current, you might use:
Server.MapPath("../../../counter.txt")
The documentation on MSDN for the MapPath function outlines this. Pay attention to the caution listed here about enabling parent paths if you want to be able to refer to relative paths above the current directory. If you get an error when trying to refer to a parent path, then you do not have parent paths enabled.
