Which scripting language?

Hi
I am new to scripting and it all seems very complicated (!).
From a beginners point of view - is there an easier scripting
language to learn and use than others. I seem to get the impression
that php is easy to use than cgi/perl - am I right??

>I thought coldfusion was a seperate macromedia
application? wouldn't I have
>to buy a copy??
No. You can use the developer edition (which is free) on your
computer. This would be for developing the web site. But you
do need to have the standard or enterprise edition on your
web
host. What Michael said about CF availability on hosting
servers is true generally - many CF hosts charge more
than Linux/Unix hosting. However there are some good hosts
out there who offer CF at reasonable prices. For example:
http://www.gearhost.com is where
I lease a dedicated server.
Their individual hosting prices which offer ASP, CF and PHP
are very reasonable.
To me, hosting costs are such a small part of a web site's
overall
cost that paying $5.00 or less more a month for the right
solution is
simply not a factor. What it will amount to in the end is
making sure
that the language you choose is suitable to do what your
customer
wants in a very easy and economical fashion.
A less complicated language that becomes faster for you to
code and
faster for users to run should be the ultimate goal IMHO.

Which Scripting Language used here ?

Hi All,
I am bit new to website developement learning jsp....
Please could someone tell me what scripting language is used in the below website here ?

Nope, don't own it so can't know what was used to put it all together server side.
You can see HTML, CSS and javascript stuff when you see the page source in a browser though, feel free to browse yourself.

Script language for LAN, WAN, wireless?

which scripting language are used for LAN, WAN, wireless to automate things etc? python, shell scripting? is there a tutorial available to i can refer to?

It depends on what you are trying to do.
Shell scripting is quite limited in what it can do when compared to a more general purpose scripting language such as Perl or Python. Nothing wrong with that and I have used shell scripts a lot when I was a Unix admin but for networking most of what I have seen in terms of script languages has been TCL, Perl and Python.
You can use scripts to automate logging on to devices and executing commands, basically the script does what you would type in. To do this you can use Expect and Perl, Python and TCL all have Expect functionality (Expect was originally an extension to TCL).
But you are still just basically automating what you yourself would type and you would run these scripts from a server, PC etc although if you have a lot of devices you need to update with the same details it can save a considerable amount of time and just as importantly if the script works it removes the human error element of configuring multiple devices and perhaps getting a few wrong.
The next step is EEM where the device has an inbuilt TCL interpreter which means you can write applets or scripts that are stored on the device and can respond to specific things happening eg. if an interface goes up or down or the routing table is changed you can execute a set of commands.
There is an EEM forum on here.
I believe also that Nexus switches have an inbuilt Python interpreter which allows pretty much the same thing.
The advantages of the interpreter being on the device is that it saves a lot of extra coding and you can get more information because Cisco have added libraries to those interpreters which are specific to the device and which provide you with a standard set of APIs which your script can use.
As I said scripting can save a lot of time and there is an argument that all network engineers should at least now some scripting and this has become more of a hot topic with the promise of what SDN can achieve in the future although it has to be said there are already configuration management tools out there which make use of the above languages.
It really depends on what you are trying to do and how much you want to automate things.
In terms of tutorials etc. for all the major scripting languages there are a lot of online tutorials and books you can use.
In addition there are sites where you can run your scripts online but to be honest it is easier to simply download the interpreter to your PC, laptop etc. and you should be able to find a compiled version of the interpreter for whatever OS you are running.

How to create a scripting language in java?

Hello,
All that I want to do is to create a scripting language in java. I�m familiar with javacc, jsr223 and other things but don�t know how to start. The language syntax is java 5 syntax with some change and I want to generate java source code from small scripts. In fact I don�t know how other languages (like groovy) are created.
I hope you can show me the required steps.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks.

That's all, huh?
For a start, generally when I hear "scripting language" I'm thinking interpretter, not a system which creates compiled (or compilable) code.
I get the impression that what you're talking about is what I'd call a "preprocessor" language, some extra syntax added to java which the preprocessor renders into ordinary java.
As far as complexity is concerned, much depends on how deeply involved the extra syntax is with the embedded ordinary Java. Does you preprocessor need to understand the java, or is it just embedded as text? How easilly identified are your preprocesor statments? It's a lot easier to do this if preprocessor lines are instantly identifiable from Java code (e.g. start with a #).
Basically the stages are always the same;
1) Lexical analysis i.e. picking out words, operators, numbers, quoted strings.
2) Construct a syntax tree.
3) Generate code (in this case Java).
Now, in this case, some of the nodes in the syntax tree may simply be chunks of undigested Java.

About about scripting language

I'm looking to getting some training on scripting language to use on SCCM. Any advise which I should focus on? VBscript or Powershell. I need to create Configuration Baselines and most of the examples I've seen uses scripting.
Also can anyone suggest a good resource for training on Report Builder. Thanks.

would recommended to go with Powershell as it automates lot of things using builtin configmgr commands
here you go with built-in Powershell commands in configmgr http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj850100(v=sc.20).aspx

Scripting Language Options for the Script Task Options SSIS 2012

Can python or perl be used as a script language in the drag and drop script task? I believe only VB.Net and C# are, but I see under SSDT Tools -> Options there are some choices for Python Debugging? I'd like to use python as my SSIS scripting language
in some cases. If it can not be used as the script task language, what are the Python options under Tools -> Options for?
Any experts out there who can illuminate?
Thanks all

Hello,
In SSDT in a SSIS Script task you can only use Visual Basic.NET and C#, no other programming / scripting languages.
SSDST is a plugin for Visual Studio and in VS you will find several options which are irrelevant for SSIS projects, like this Phyton debugging option.

New java-like scripting language w/ powerful regex

Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that there's now a new scripting language called P~ with the following important aspects:
1) matches and exceeds Perl regex solveability -- e.g. offers full regex-based boolean query on non-indexed corpus, offers completely general side-effects, more accurate than Perl code assertions
2) basic grammar is very Java like
3) regex grammar is algebraic, not metacharacter-based, leads to more readable and maintainable solutions to hard problems
4) offers an easy tool to debug matching behavior of your regexes (rules)
5) though a full featured scripting language, you can write scriptlets and call them from Java classes, with arguments. Allows you to use your regex solutions in Java applications.
6) the language is offered as a Java library, as well as a standalone application that runs the library. This means that your scripts can import java classes available in the classpath, you can leverage existing Java libraries.
Check out the website and try it out: http://ptilde.pbwiki.com
Andy

True to an extent. We don't yet have lookaround assertions and won't have backreferencing any time soon. But there are same-time assertions which offer much of the same, and allow for boolean query.
More accurate general statement insertion side-effects (than Perl code assertions) means that your statements are executed if and only they wrap a subpattern that is part of the ultimate best match -- Perl code assertions execute when the automata encounters them, even if where they are in the regex is ultimately not part of the match, or even if there is no match at all. This aspect is a huge part of the solveability advantage.
As to the regex test cases, there are about 1000, and we will post them soon.

How text data is formated in post script language level 2

Hi all,
In post script language level 3 files text data is converted to hexadesimal format and kept in between xshow commands. But in postscript language level 2 files, text data is converted to some other format.
Can you please inform me, to which format text data is converted.

Script - language translation

Hi all,
what is the differnce between script language translation which is done in transaction se63 and
in the translation se71.
se63 -language transalation method
se63 --> translation --> r/3enterprise --> other longtexts --> forms and styles.

se71 - language translation method.
se71 -> ulitilites -->copy form client --
is there any particular difference is there?
thanks in advance.
regards
vinoth.

se63 -language transalation method
translate the text from one language to another
se71 - language translation method.
to copy the form from one client to another client. here it wont allow u to tranlate the text.

FormCalc script language for calculating PV

Greetings,
I need to calculate a Present Value (PV) in a table for rent. I can not (after many, many tries) come up with the formcalc script language that mirrors the Excel formula my boss has used in a spreadsheet.
I know the 'formula' is PV(n1, n2, n3), but that is apparently NOT what needs to be written as the script. Do I use ".rawValue" in writing this out? Do I use the ctrl+applicable cell in choosing a segment?
My first example of needing to calculate this is having a total amount for a year's rent, a discount rate of [user entered, example would be 5%], and a period of the term year minus 1 (so year 1 would be 0 or not used; year 2 would be 1, year 3 would be 2). This is what the Excel formula relates to, although it uses a negative (minus) in front of the year's rent amount.
Writing PV(yramount, discountrate, yr-1) doesn't do anything to create the answer.
Do I write ... $.rawValue = PV(yramount.rawValue, discountrate.rawValue, yr-1.rawValue) or ....
I can't figure it out (and I've tried this formula every way I can imagine and I'm getting nowhere).
I am also going to be calculating the Present Value of Total Lease Obligations each year (which is another oddity of discountrate, yr-1, negative TotalLeaseobligation).
Once I get 'row 1' calculating, the following rows will be added based on the number of term years, and the calculating will include percentage increases over the prior year along the way. I can't wait :-O
If someone could please help me crack the "actually USING in a form the formula for Present Value)", I will be so very grateful. It is decidedly beyond my sub-novice attempts.
Thank you!
Shu

Oh, my, thank you so much! It is truly baffling to me. I’ve attached my efforts for what it’s worth. I try to explain more below.
I was basing my ‘assumption’ on this ‘formcalc information’ – but obviously I couldn’t do anything with it as it is too cryptic for a beginner.
Here is the Excel formula used in the current spreadsheet:
= PV($B$22,B$26,,-C28
Where B22 is the Discount rate (e.g. 5%)
B26 is a number representing the year number of the prior year in the Term (e.g., the first year pulls a blank cell, the 2nd year pulls “1”, the 3rd year pulls “2”)
C28 is the Base Rent amount for the year being calculated, but shown as a negative (?) [That number is calculated as a $/square foot * number of square feet]
In my LCD form, I’m calculating in a table in which there is a header row, a footer row, currently 2 body rows, and I’m trying to get all the values to calculate based on information “provided above” in the form. The first challenge is the first row and I’ve gotten everything to ‘work’ except the “Total Base Rent(PV)” and the “Total Lease Obligation(PV)” the 3rd PV value is an arithmetic calculation between these results.
Current Row 1 formulas:
Base Rent: $.rawValue = NF3BaseRentPersf.rawValue * NF1SquareFootage.rawValue
TI Costs: $.rawValue = NF14AnnDebtServTotal.rawValue
Furniture Fixtures Equipment: $.rawValue = NF14FFETotal.rawValue
Move Costs: $.rawValue = NF14MoveCostsTotal.rawValue
Total Lease Obligations: $.rawValue = Cell2.rawValue + Cell3.rawValue + Cell4.rawValue + Cell5.rawValue
Common Area Costs: $.rawValue = NF4OpExPersf.rawValue * NF1SquareFootage.rawValue
Utilities: $.rawValue = NF5UtilPersf.rawValue * NF1SquareFootage.rawValue
Other Expenses: $.rawValue = NF6OtherPersf.rawValue * NF1SquareFootage.rawValue
Total Operating Expenses: $.rawValue = Cell7.rawValue + Cell8.rawValue + Cell9.rawValue
TOTAL Estimated Costs: $.rawValue = Cell6.rawValue + Cell10.rawValue
Total Base Rent (PV): ______________________?
Total TI & Other Costs (PV): $.rawValue = Cell14.rawValue - Cell12.rawValue
Total Lease Obligation (PV): _______________________ ? (THIS -> doesn't work: $.rawValue = PV(NF15DiscountRate.rawValue,, -Cell6.rawValue)
I'm sorry for being so naive with all this. We are gobsmacked (in a great way) with the possibilities of LCD-- IF I can just get the hang of this stuff.
Here's the hierarchy for the table:
and these are related hierarchy references (you can tell I haven't quite gotten the naming of objects down very well).
AND my NEXT challenges: I am trying to make this a ?repeating row table? And will attempt to add an 'add row' button that will allow the addition of a row reflecting the number of years in the proposed term (from 1-10, usually). So I need the amount to sum in the footer as well as the couple of sums within each row. Starting with the 2nd year, the Base Rent and Operating Expenses amounts will be a factor of the prior year's amount * the applicable Escalation % (Base Rent Escalation or Estimated Annual Expenses Escalation) -- which is why I figured I had to go on and include the 2nd row to put those formulas therein. I am ASSUMING that when I enerate subsequent rows with the "Add Row" button (crossing fingers!) that the formulas will duplicate and the correct amounts will be reflected, including the right totals -- although for a 1-year term I'll need to figure out how to 'delete row' the 2nd row so the totals aren't ka-flooey.
I am extremely grateful for your help in any way you can share. This is a lot of fun -- but I just don't speak the LCD language yet. Thus I flounder.
Appreciatively,
Shu
p.s. I am not sure how to provide a copy of my actual form-in-progress. Much of what I'd written in reply was stripped out so I've come back in to edit and add what I'm able.Thanks again!

Learning Adobe Scripts Language

Your favourite shell / scripting language????

I am going to learn Scripting in Unix (mainly Solaris) . So i thought of asking you DBA gurus around the world what your favourite scripting language (Python, Perl,.. etc) is and your favourite Shell (csh,sh,ksh) . I found a similair post favourite shell / scripting language?
which was answered after two years(!!!) with only one reply. I guess i'll be lucky to get more than one perspective this time.

The way I remember it, having use these since 1983, is:
- Originally we had the Bourne Shell (/bin/sh), also known as 'Shell'
- Then came the C shell (/bin/csh) with real programming constructs.
- Then a number of programming capabilities were retrofit to Shell
- Then the Korn shell (/bin/ksh) was created to bring C shell capabilities to Shell
- Then a variant of the Korn Shell was placed in the public domain (/bin/pdksh)
- Then Bourne Again shell was created as a superset of Korn shell (/bin/bash)
Seems like a number of people say 'sh' when they mean 'BAsh'. In which case, there should be little advantage to going back to ksh. However, there are many advantages to going up to bash.

Test Bench Scripting Language

Hi,
I am an intern at a company which is wanting me to create a scripting language and compiler that would be capable of controlling several instruments on their test bench through GPIB, as well as use the PXI-7833R to communicate to one of their devices over SPI. I would consider myself an intermediate LabVIEW user that has never really worked with any type of VI which involved parsing scripts or the like.
Is there any application other than LabVIEW that would be more suited for this type of application. I plan to have to use several dll's written in C++ to make things easier on myself, but I wasn't sure if I was trying to re-invent the wheel here or if there was something like this that had already been done that I could refer to.
Any help that anyone can give on this subject would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Thank you all for responding so quickly, all of your help is very appreciated. I will have to go through many of these languages to determine which option is going to be the best suited solution for this. Other than TestStand and Python I really have not heard of any of the others.
I have brought up the idea of using TestStand to the team that is going to be primarily using this application and they have said that many of them have no experience at all with LabVIEW and don't really feel comfortable with the idea of using something like that to do this. They all say that they would feel much more at home with a text based language that they can all pick up on easily. Which, obviously creates more work for me because I have to be able to document all of this so that it is easily to manipulate by others...
I am looking into the LuaVIEW interface right now, I will definitely look into all of the others later and let you all know how things are progressing. If anyone else has any other ideas for ways to make this easier I would greatly greatly appreciate it.
I have one more question which I will really just need once I get the parsing done. As I said in my first post I will be using an FPGA for communicating with a device that will be constantly relaying information back from an A/D. In order to conserve space on the FPGA I am thinking of somehow parsing the code in a way that the commands that only concern the GPIB instruments will be run from the host VI and the code for communcating with the device will be loaded onto the FPGA Target VI. Does this sound like the best way to go about this and do you have any ideas for how to do the separation?
Thank you,
Tyler

Script languages with JavaFX

Hello everyone,
The use of script languages is bound to be a newbie question so I used a general the thread topic.
In my case I have two questions. I want to find the relevant documentation to find answers to these questions. Note: where to find the information (if available).
* How can I hook JRuby into an FXML user interface design?
I was following the javascript part of the tutorial,
* "Getting Started: Using FXML" (http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/get_started/fxml_tutorial.htm)
That was OK but when I tried a few simple modifications, I got stuck.
* Which document shows me what functions are available to the executing javascript? The following simple example does NOT work:
function handleSubmitButtonAction( ev ) {
alert("something");
actiontarget.setText( "Calling the Javascript function." );
The runtime gets an exception on alert( ). Until now I pretty much felt that alert( ) was part of the baseline. I'm happy enough to locate the documentation that tells me how to call 'standard' javascript functions.
And I'd love to hear from anyone who's used JRuby with JavaFX or FXML.
Kind regards,
Will.

How can I hook JRuby into an FXML user interface design?The answer to that question lies in the stackoverflow question "Using fxml with jruby"
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13831708/using-fxml-with-jruby
Which document shows me what functions are available to the executing javascript? I don't know, I doubt there is one.
I suggest you just treat the javascript environment as headless (incapable of invoking javascript functions such as alert which might generate a UI).
If you want to pop up an alert, create an alert dialog in JavaFX and invoke that from your script.
For a JavaFX standard dialog box library see: http://fxexperience.com/2012/10/announcing-the-javafx-ui-controls-sandbox/
I believe (and I could be wrong) that JavaFX 2.2 is using a modification of the Rhino engine, which you can find documentation on here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Rhino
I believe (and I could be wrong) that JavaFX 8 will use a Nashorn engine:

Sorry for the invisibility cloak I have been wearing here lately. We had an intention to release this a lot earlier, but bureaucracy got the best of us. But at last ...
Please visit https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloaditem?rid=/webcontent/uuid/d8965f54-0c01-0010-e0bf-d8cce7a59b0c">https [original link is broken] [original link is broken]. BTW, someone has already built their own Argo Yahoo! widget to search SDN.
You can visit the Argo forum here Enterprise Search for more of an explanation of what Argo is and how it can be useful. FWIW, we expect to have Argo interfaces for e-mail, SMS, natural language, native mobile clients, WebDynpro, Yahoo! Widgets, Mac Widgets, Vista Gadgets, Google Maps, and much more. And we expect some of you to contribute some of this great stuff.
Let us know what you think on the Argo forum, but a little bit of cross-posting here probably would be a good thing.
Thanks ...

Basically, I am interested in this thing in and of itself.Sorry, but since you can't always get what you want, I have to say this: have you looked into Groovy? It may give you what you want -- a powerful scripting language that can integrate closely with java (I think). Another scripting language to look at is Jython which I believe can be integrated with java. No JNI needed.
