wildcard - The issue of * in Command line argument -

-

i wrote program in java accepts input via command line arguments. input of 2 numbers , operator command line. multiply 2 numbers, have give input e.g. 5 3 *, it's not working written.

why not accepting * command line?

that's because * shell wildcard: has special meaning shell, expands before passing on command (in case, java).

since need literal *, need escape shell. exact way of escaping varies depending on shell, can try:

java programname 5 3 "*"

or:

java programname 5 3 \*

by way, if want know shell *, try printing content of string[] args main method. you'll find contain names of files in directory.

this can handy if need pass filenames command line arguments.

    for example, if directory contains 2 files, a.log , b.log command cat *.log expanded shell cat a.log b.log

  • wikipedia: escape character

    in bourne shell (sh), asterisk (*) , question mark (?) characters wildcard characters expanded via globbing. without preceding escape character, * expand names of files in working directory don't start period if , if there such files, otherwise * remains unexpanded. refer file literally called "*", shell must told not interpret in way, preceding backslash (\).

(or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

-
example preg_replace('/\{[a-za-z.,\(\)0-9]+\}/', 'replaced', 'lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1({tag2()})}, consectetur adipiscing elit.'); the result: lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1(replaced)}, consectetur adipiscing elit. question as can see "tag2" has been replaced, want replace "tag1" know how can this? (in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
