Vim hidden ^M

This is really weird; vim was working beautifully for me, but now it's not.
If I put the following into an executable file using e.g. nano:
#!/bin/bash
grep fruit ./food.txt
then it works fine when run.
However, doing the same thing with vim gives me
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
which is usually a sign that you've got ^M endlines left over from DOS or XP. However, I'm writing the file myself, so can't understand why this is happening. Doing a :%s/^M//g produces a Pattern not found message in vim, yet simply going to the start of the second line of the above script in nano and pressing backspace then enter solves the problem (the script will then run).
This is seriously odd; I haven't added anything to my .vimrc, and the only thing I've changed recently is my .screenrc, but the changes were only key bindings... I've tried vim in urxvt without screen running, and still the same problem arises.
What gives?

You were completely correct Kern; that's solved the problem.
Thanks loads

Vim Ctrl + Tab for Tabs navigation

:noremap <silent> <c-Tab> :tabn<CR>
noremap! <silent> <C-Tab> :tabn<CR>
This doesn't work for me - any idea why? Ctrl-tab just doesn't shift tabs... I've definitely not bound the combination elsewhere in my .vimrc either.

[SOLVED] How to convince vim my terminal supports color?

Hi. I recently got a shell account from Kaitocracy on his linode machine. I noticed that my bash prompt has color, as expected, but when I copied over my vim configuration (which includes a color theme), it didn't work! After some toying around, I noticed that vim recognizes the terminal escape codes using `:hi <type> start= stop=`, but not the existing `cterm` commands in my color theme. To make things more confusing, I know my terminal (urxvt) is capable of using the cterm flags.
Also, Ctrl+L does not clear/redraw the screen as expected.
What can I do to fix these issues? Here are the configs:

Mr.Elendig wrote:Make sure you are using rxvt-unicode-256color and that your TERM is rxvt-256color outside of screen, and screen-256color inside of screen.
That's the peculiarity of the problem; when I run vim in my local environment, I always get color using the `:hi <hilighttype> ctermfg=* ctermbg=*` commands. This applies inside of X through rxvt-unicode (non-256color), GNU screen, and on the plain command line in vc1. This issue seems to be related to the remote environment and/or variables not being sent through ssh.
@moljac: When I echo'd TERM inside a screen session, it returned "screen", so I don't know whether it's legit or not.

Error importing CSV files with 'hidden' characters using External Table

Hi Folks
Bit of a strange one here.
We're well used to using the External Table method of loading data from CSV files into the database but a recent event has presented us with a problem.
We have received some CSV files that 'look' like regular CSV files but Oracle will not load them.
When we examined the CSV file using VIM on a UNIX box we saw the following 'hidden' characters between every regular character in the file.
^@So a string that looks like this when opened in Excel/Wordpad etc
"TEST","TEXT"Looks like this when exmained with VIM
^@"^@T^@E^@S^@T^@"^@,^@"^@T^@E^@X^@T^@"Has anyone come across this before?
Many thanks
Simon Gadd
Oracle 11g 11.2.0.1.0

Hi Simon,
^@ represents the NUL character (0x00).
So, most likely, you've got a Unicode-encoded file.
You'll have to specify the character set in the record specification (and if necessary the byte order mark), for instance :
CREATE TABLE ext_table
col1 VARCHAR2(10),
col2 VARCHAR2(10)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY dump_dir
ACCESS PARAMETERS
RECORDS DELIMITED BY '
' CHARACTERSET 'UTF16'

LOCATION ('dump.csv')

HT203167 A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV.

A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV...other movies show up. Help.

It was Love Actually. It's been in my library a few years but is now missing. It's odd...it isn't even in the iTunes Store anymore. I think there is a rights issue because a message appeared in the store saying it wasn't available at this time in the U. S. store. Still, if I bought it years ago it should be in my library or I should get a refund....

Retriving only hidden parameters from request.getParameter

Hi,
I want to retrive only the hidden parameters from previous JSP page into current JSP page. The problem here is that my hidden parameters in privious page are dynamically generated (parameter names are decided based on values retrived from the database) and I cannot retrive them using "request.getParameter(<parametername>)"
Can I find the parameter type (i.e. text box, text area, checkbox, radio or hidden) from the request.getParameter() or request.getParameterNames() methods? or is there any other way to find it.
Thanks in advance for any help

You can use the getParameterNames() or getParameterMap() methods from javax.servlet.ServletRequest to get all the parameters in the request. Even if they're dynamically generated, and you don't know the names in advance, these methods will ferret them out.
getParameterMap() returns name String, values String [] pairs, so you'll have to work with String arrays to get the input out. It's got to be that way to accomodate checkboxes and other HTML form elements that can send more than one value for a given name.
I prefer getParameterMap, because I don't like using Enumerations as much. - MOD

How to delete the EOL in Vim

This might sound really stupid, but how do you delete a line-break in Vim? Deleting the EOL after the cursor, when you're at the end of a line seems to be 'dw', as that will delete to the next word, therefore deleting the EOL in the middle of it. However, deleting the EOL before the cursor, when you're at the start of a line I can't figure out. 'db' would delete the EOL, but would also delete to the beginning of the word at the end of the line previous. The only way I've found I've been able to use is entering Insert mode and pressing Backspace. Surely this isn't the best method for doing this...

I don't think any of those does what OP wanted - joining upwards.
@ bernarcher
I can't get the negative numbers to work. The manual says only
gJ Join [count] lines, with a minimum of two lines.
Don't insert or remove any spaces. {not in Vi}
Does e.g. '-3gJ' really works for you? Maybe I have some weird settings in my .vimrc.
EDIT: I was thinking about something like
map II i<Backspace><Esc>
Of course you can change the 'II' mapping and maybe add '0':
map II i<Backspace><Esc>0
or whatever tells vim to go to the first char of the line.
'[ count ]II' won't work.

How can I re-show hidden iCloud playback items?

My family shares an iTunes account accross three computers. Recently I learned the hard way that when you hide an item from iCloud playback in the new iTunes 11 it gets hidden from the other computers and the "Purchased" link in the store. I accidentally hid all of the holiday songs from iCloud playback but now that by Dad needs to reorganize the library to include holiday music, he couldn't find any of the music on the "Purchased link" which is how I found out that it works like that. Is there a way that I can re-show these songs, they still show up as purchased if you go to the main search and find that particular song? i need to put those songs back into the "Purchaced" link, and be able to play them from iCloud again.

I believe I had the same problem as you. To view items that are hidden from icloud. You need to:
1. In itunes go to "iTunes Store"
2. Select your iTunesID, should be upper left.
3. In drop down menu select "Account"
4. Under "iTunes in the Cloud", select "View Hidden Purchases" (should more towards the right portion, part way down the screen).
5. From there you should be able to see anything that you hide or deleted from the normal purchase menu.
Hope that helps.

How do I find and free the hidden files on external drive?

I cannot see , or free, space on my external drive.
It is a Seagate Freeagent 500 GB disk. I am using 100GB for photos and music. Only 38 MB are reported free. How can I reclaim the rest of the space?
I had used in the past as Time machine backup. To create space I moved to trash the file Backups.backupd (as I now have another disk for Time Machine). I can't see this file in the Trash, and I can't see the space in Finder. How do I find / free the space?
The disk format is MAC OS Extended journaled. Disk utility reports no errors. I have run verify and fix, and also erase free space, with no result.
Thank you for your help.

Erase free space only wipes clean the 38 MBs that are already free. Click here to see hidden files.
However, I'd just make a copy of the 100 GBs in use, and then complely wipe the disk.
Don't try to delete the Backups.backupd folder by Finder. It's not a good idea to mix Finder and TM.

The case of the mysterious hidden content - second hand iMac

Dear people with more knowledge than me... (i.e. dear everyone...)
I have recently purchased a second hand intel iMac (late 2006 model) to replace my trusty (but noisy) Powermac G4 Mirror Door Drive. It was purchased 'wiped' with a fresh install of Lion.
I used Carbon Copy Cloner to create a backup of my old hard drive (or at least the 60GB partition of it that I was using - I had Tiger installed on it) and then used the Migration Assistant to re-create an image of Zion in the wide expanses of the new promised land (250GB capacity).
All seemed to go well (but time consuming - it took several days to port everything to/from my USB external hard-drive). A few days later, when I checked About this mac I was shocked to discover that I only had 5GB of storage remaining.
I did a little poking about and realised I had left a couple of user profiles hanging around during my pre-Migration Assistant faffing. These duplicated much of what I had later migrated over more comprehensively, so I deleted these additional user profiles and this freed up a further 58GB or so.
My system information now tells me that I have
249.2 GB Capacity
63.69 GB Available
185.5 GB Used
The used component consists of:
Audio 137.47 GB
Movies 7.03 GB
Photos 9.74 GB
Apps 3.34 GB
Backups 0
Other 27.94 GB
However, when I go through all my available files and folders using the Finder, the grand total of space that I have used comes to around 88GB:
My home folder (the only user profile I didn't delete) 42.98 GB
Desktop 4.09 GB (I know, I know, clean your room...)
Applications 2.31 GB
Documents 2.8 MB (yes MB)
Movies 0
Music 38.59 GB
Photos 385 KB (yes KB)
Total ± 80GB
Leaving aside for a moment the fact that the disk partition I Migrated over was only 60GB in total (?!), where on earth are the other 97.5 GB of files, and how can I see/delete them to free up drive space I thought I had...?
...I imagine that the audio, movies etc., that are unaccounted for actually belong(ed) to the previous owner of the iMac. What I don't know how to do is see/access/delete them to free up disk space. There are no additional users other than my own account that I can see. That's not to say they are not there.
What can I do?
Thank you in anticipation of any help or advice.

the (hidden) folder _CCC Archives takes up a whopping 107 GB, much of which consists of multiple copies of the same audio files (due to poor file management and copies of copies, I think..). I'm now looking for a utility that will be able to locate and list duplicate files so I can verify that the _CCC Archives folder files are replicated elsewhere.
I use CCC, but not the "archive" feature (since my main backups are made with Time Machine).
According to it's Help, that folder contains the backup copies of files that had been changed on the "source" drive.
But this large folder is on your internal HD, right? Here's what I think happened:
When you made the original CCC clone from your old Mac, you selected the option to "archive" the copies of things that had been changed. For some period of time, it did that.
Later, when you used Migration Assistant, it copied all those old files from the clone (via the Other files and folders on <HD name> option) back on to your new internal HD.
So yes, the files there should be prior versions of things on your system.
There are various options to have CCC manage those files. You can assign a certain size to it, and it will delete the oldest files when necessary to make room for new ones; or "prune" files after a specified number of days, etc.
Click Help in the CCC menubar, then CCC help, then review the Backup and archiving settings section:

MY system folder, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac) How do I remove them

I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8. I had a problem with my my operating system (my fault, I moved a file I shoudnt have) couldnt boot up but was able to boot up from a backup. I managed to repair my original system except now all the system folders, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac). For the most part the dupes are an exact copy, but not always. I want to remove them to free up space and cant imagine duplicate folders in the /system/library are not hindering my computer. But I dont know where to start and am afraid of doing irreparable damage. Any ideas

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

How to assign java script variable to a hidden parameter in JSP?

Hi All,
I want to assign the variable in the Jscript to a hidden parameter in JSP page.
<select name="sortingOption" class="sortingOptions" onchange="changeSortOption(this)">
<c:forEach var="sortingOption" items="${sortingOptionList}">
<c:set var="sortingOptionValue" value="${sortingOption}" target="java.lang.String"/>
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${sortingOptionValue == sortingOptionValueFromRequest}">
<option value="${sortingOptionValue}" selected="selected">${sortingOptionValue}</option>
<input type="hidden" name="srchType" value="none"/>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<option value="${sortingOptionValue}">${sortingOptionValue}</option>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
</c:forEach>
</select>
In changeSortOption script,they capture the value selected by the user and then they submit the form.I want to assign that value to a hidden parameter in JSP,can someone tell me how to do that?
I dont have the Jscript code with me right now to post here.

To the point: just by accessing/manipulating the HTML DOM using JS. Learn JS and HTML DOM. There are basic tutorials at w3schools.com. Besides, your code syntax is still invalid. The input hidden elemend doesn't belong in a select element. Learn HTML. There's a basic tutorial at w3schools.com as well.
For future HTML/JS problems please consult the appropriate forums. This has not much to do with JSP. There are ones at webdeveloper.com.

Pivot Table - Calculate Variance - Hidden Fields?

I need some help adding a target value field inside a pivot table in excel.
Here is what my current pivot table looks like.
Regions                 1 year - Actual              1 year - Target??
Difference
                  (April 2013 to MArch 2014)
(Target - Actual)?
Region1                $6,355,696.75
Region2                $6,775,309.87
Region3                $2,230,424.76
Regions expand into managers which in turn expand to consultants.
What I want to do is add a column for target values of the 3 different regions and then create another calculated field that will show the difference between the target and actual values.
Can this be done without writing any stored procedures in SQL? I want to do this in excel itself.
The target values are not calculated so can we store them in hidden fields or something in the pivot or excel?

1. Click anywhere in Pivot and go to Options tab > Formulas > Calculated Field.
2. Create a calculated field called Target (whatever name your choose). If your target is say 7000000, put this value in Formula field. You may put it with or without =
3. Now after this, you can once again create a new Calculated Field. Let's say this is Variance. If you variance is Target - Actual, put this as =Target-Actual in Calculated Field.
4. Your pivot will have whatever you wanted.

Apex_application.g_f01 picking up value of hidden column

i have a report with a apex_item.checkbox using the id 1 and a hidden column. for some reason my pl/sql code that loops through apex_application.g_f01 picks up the value of the hidden column as well. why is this? is this a known bug?
i managed to get my code working by using id 2.

report code
select ename,
apex_item.checkbox(1,ename,null) sel,
'RED' COLOUR
from emp
order by ename
process
FOR I in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
//i insert into a test table to view results
END LOOP;
the above works fine until i change the COLOUR column from a standard column to a hidden column. Then for some reason the apex_application.g_f01 then includes the values of all ticked boxes plus all the values in the COLOUR column.
