--Declare the Table variable 
DECLARE @Elements TABLE
(
        Number INT IDENTITY(1,1), --Auto incrementing Identity column
        ProductName VARCHAR(300) --The string value
)

--Decalre a variable to remember the position of the current delimiter
DECLARE @CurrentDelimiterPositionVar INT 

--Decalre a variable to remember the number of rows in the table
DECLARE @Count INT

--Populate the TABLE variable using some logic
INSERT INTO @Elements SELECT ProductName FROM dbo.Products

--Initialize the looper variable
SET @CurrentDelimiterPositionVar = 1

--Determine the number of rows in the Table
SELECT @Count=max(Number) from @Elements

--A variable to hold the currently selected value from the table
DECLARE @CurrentValue varchar(300);

--Loop through until all row processing is done
WHILE @CurrentDelimiterPositionVar <= @Count

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=322756


:: DELETING KEYS OR VALUES USING A REG FILE
:: IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO DELETE KEYS AND VALUES USING REG FILES. TO DELETE A KEY START BY :: USING THE SAME FORMAT AS THE THE REG FILE ABOVE, BUT PLACE A "-" SYMBOL IN FRONT OF THE :: :: KEY NAME YOU WANT TO DELETE. FOR EXAMPLE TO DELETE THE :: :: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\SETUP] KEY THE REG FILE WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS:


REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\SETUP]


regedit.exe [options] [filename] [regpath]
[filename] Import .reg file into the registry
/s [filename] Silent import, i.e. hide confirmation box when importing files
/e [filename] [regpath] Export the registry to [filename] starting at [regpath]
e.g. regedit /e file.reg HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT
/L:system Specify the location of the system.dat to use
/R:user Specify the location of the user.dat to use



:: TO EXPORT A KNOW REGISTRY KEY FROM THE REGISTRY
reg export "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\SETUP" filename.reg


:: IF A FILE OR FOLDER EXISTS (SPELLED WITHOUT THE LETTER S ON THE END). THE PARENTHESES
:: GROUP THE COMMANDS OVER THE LINEBREAK (¶ DENOTES A LINEBREAK).

if errorlevel 1 goto error
if exist "file.log"
echo Log exists
goto end
:: ESCAPE CHARACTER TO USE REDIRECT/PIPE CHARACTERS IS THE CARET (^)
echo a -^> b
:: REDIRECTS OUTPUT (INCLUDING ERROR MESSAGES) TO FILE.LOG
command > file.log 2>&1
:: COMMAND SAME THING (BUT IT APPENDS). IN THIS WAY, YOUR BATCH FILES LOOK CLEANER.
>> file.log 2>&1
PUT MESSAGES IN STDIN.LOG AND ERROR MESSAGES IN STDERR.LOG.
command 1> stdin.log 2> stderr.log

start /wait regedit /s file.reg
:: Will ensure when the batch-file continues, the merge operation has completed.
:: regsvr32 /s file.dll Registers a COM DLL without dialog boxes (no report via %errorlevel% of
:: success/failure). Use /s /u for unregistering. :: QUIT'S THE CURRENT BATCH-FILE
:: (ONLY WORKS UNDER NT4 WHEN COMMAND EXTENTIONS ARE ENABLED, WHICH IS NOT THE DEFAULT).

db trigger for tracking of db changes on sql server 2005 2008 (revised)

This trigger demonstrates the enforcing of the someValue xml element in the sql command to be executed on a sql server 2005 / 2008
Thus one could modigy it to add more enforcements: for example :
I had to change the proc since ...

it also keeps track on all the sql commands and saves them into a history log table, so one could digg out the older version and rerun them straight away .

I would be glad to receive and improvement suggestions - how-to keep track on the versions , version rolling etc. Enjoy !

::SUBVERSION DOES NOT TRACK THE VERSION NUMBERS FOR INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS AUTOMATICALLY. INSTEAD, IT TRACKS EACH UPDATE TO THE REPOSITORY AND TRACKS THE VERSIONS OF THESE UPDATES. TO CREATE INTERIM PROJECT RELEASES, YOU MUST CREATE "TAGS" WHICH IDENTIFY A SPECIFY VERSION OF A PROJECT. THIS IS DONE BY MAKING A VIRTUAL COPY OF A PROJECT IN THE TAGS DIRECTORY. FOR EXAMPLE
svn copy http://ysg/svn/poc/trunk http://ysg/svn/poc/tags/0.1.0 -m "Tagging the 0.1.0 release of the poc"

::THIS CREATES A SORT OF BOOKMARK OR SNAPSHOT WHICH RECORDS THE CURRENT STATE OF THE PROJECT. THEN, YOU CAN CHECKOUT THE PROJECT IN THIS STATE AT ANY TIME BY SIMPLY REFERRING TO THAT RELEASE NUMBER.

::TO GET A LIST OF THE RELEASES FOR A PROJECT.
svn list http://localhost/svn/repos/poc/tags 0.1.0/
ipconfig
svn list http://192.168.0.153/svn/repos/poc/tags 0.1.0/

The typical work cycle looks like this:

Update your working copy
svn update
Make changes
svn add
svn delete
svn copy
svn move
Examine your changes
svn status
svn diff
svn revert
Merge others' changes into your working copy
svn update
svn resolved
Commit your changes
svn commit

Update Your Working Copy

When working on a project with a team, you'll want to update your working copy to receive any changes made since your last update by other developers on the project. Use svn update to bring your working copy into sync with the latest revision in the repository.
$ svn update
U foo.c
U bar.c
Updated to revision 2.

L abc.c # svn has a lock in its .svn directory for abc.c
M bar.c # the content in bar.c has local modifications
M baz.c # baz.c has property but no content modifications
X 3rd_party # this dir is part of an externals definition
? foo.o # svn doesn't manage foo.o
! some_dir # svn manages this, but it's either missing or incomplete
~ qux # versioned as file/dir/link, but type has changed
I .screenrc # svn doesn't manage this, and is configured to ignore it
A + moved_dir # added with history of where it came from
M + moved_dir/README # added with history and has local modifications
D stuff/fish.c # this file is scheduled for deletion

=head1 NAME

ack - grep-like text finder

=head1 SYNOPSIS

ack [options] PATTERN [FILE...]
ack -f [options] [DIRECTORY...]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Ack is designed as a replacement for 99% of the uses of F.

Ack searches the named input FILEs (or standard input if no files are
named, or the file name - is given) for lines containing a match to the
given PATTERN. By default, ack prints the matching lines.

Ack can also list files that would be searched, without actually searching
them, to let you take advantage of ack's file-type filtering capabilities.

=head1 FILE SELECTION

I is intelligent about the files it searches. It knows about
certain file types, based on both the extension on the file and,
in some cases, the contents of the file. These selections can be
made with the B<--type> option.

With no file selections, I only searches files of types that
it recognizes. If you have a file called F, and I
doesn't know what a .wango file is, I won't search it.

The B<-a> option tells I to select all files, regardless of
type.

Some files will never be selected by I, even with B<-a>,
including:

=over 4

=item * Backup files: Files ending with F<~>, or F<#*#>

=item * Coredumps: Files matching F

=back

However, I always searches the files given on the command line,
no matter what type. Furthermore, by specifying the B<-u> option all
files will be searched.

=head1 DIRECTORY SELECTION

I descends through the directory tree of the starting directories
specified. However, it will ignore the shadow directories used by
many version control systems, and the build directories used by the
Perl MakeMaker system. You may add or remove a directory from this
list with the B<--[no]ignore-dir> option. The option may be repeated
to add/remove multiple directories from the ignore list.

For a complete list of directories that do not get searched, run
F.

=head1 WHEN TO USE GREP

I trumps I as an everyday tool 99% of the time, but don't
throw I away, because there are times you'll still need it.

E.g., searching through huge files looking for regexes that can be
expressed with I syntax should be quicker with I.

If your script or parent program uses I C<--quiet> or
C<--silent> or needs exit 2 on IO error, use I.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-a>, B<--all>

Operate on all files, regardless of type (but still skip directories
like F, F, etc.)

=item B<-A I>, B<--after-context=I>

Print I lines of trailing context after matching lines.

=item B<-B I>, B<--before-context=I>

Print I lines of leading context before matching lines.

=item B<-C [I]>, B<--context[=I]>

Print I lines (default 2) of context around matching lines.

=item B<-c>, B<--count>

Suppress normal output; instead print a count of matching lines for
each input file. If B<-l> is in effect, it will only show the
number of lines for each file that has lines matching. Without
B<-l>, some line counts may be zeroes.

=item B<--color>, B<--nocolor>

B<--color> highlights the matching text. B<--nocolor> supresses
the color. This is on by default unless the output is redirected.

On Windows, this option is off by default unless the
L module is installed or the C
environment variable is used.

=item B<--env>, B<--noenv>

B<--noenv> disables all environment processing. No F<.ackrc> is read
and all environment variables are ignored. By default, F considers
F<.ackrc> and settings in the environment.

=item B<--flush>

B<--flush> flushes output immediately. This is off by default
unless ack is running interactively (when output goes to a pipe
or file).

=item B<-f>

Only print the files that would be searched, without actually doing
any searching. PATTERN must not be specified, or it will be taken as
a path to search.

=item B<--follow>, B<--nofollow>

Follow or don't follow symlinks, other than whatever starting files
or directories were specified on the command line.

This is off by default.

=item B<-G I>

Only paths matching I are included in the search. The entire
path and filename are matched against I, and I is a
Perl regular expression, not a shell glob.

The options B<-i>, B<-w>, B<-v>, and B<-Q> do not apply to this I.

=item B<-g I>

Print files where the relative path + filename matches I. This option is
a convenience shortcut for B<-f> B<-G I>.

The options B<-i>, B<-w>, B<-v>, and B<-Q> do not apply to this I.

=item B<--group>, B<--nogroup>

B<--group> groups matches by file name with. This is the default when
used interactively.

B<--nogroup> prints one result per line, like grep. This is the default
when output is redirected.

=item B<-H>, B<--with-filename>

Print the filename for each match.

=item B<-h>, B<--no-filename>

Suppress the prefixing of filenames on output when multiple files are
searched.

=item B<--help>

Print a short help statement.

=item B<-i>, B<--ignore-case>

Ignore case in the search strings.

This applies only to the PATTERN, not to the regexes given for the B<-g>
and B<-G> options.

=item B<--[no]ignore-dir=DIRNAME>

Ignore directory (as CVS, .svn, etc are ignored). May be used multiple times
to ignore multiple directories. For example, mason users may wish to include
B<--ignore-dir=data>. The B<--noignore-dir> option allows users to search
directories which would normally be ignored (perhaps to research the contents
of F<.svn/props> directories).

=item B<--line=I>

Only print line I of each file. Multiple lines can be given with multiple
B<--line> options or as a comma separated list (B<--line=3,5,7>). B<--line=4-7>
also works. The lines are always output in ascending order, no matter the
order given on the command line.

=item B<-l>, B<--files-with-matches>

Only print the filenames of matching files, instead of the matching text.

=item B<-L>, B<--files-without-matches>

Only print the filenames of files that do I match. This is equivalent
to specifying B<-l> and B<-v>.

=item B<--match I>

Specify the I explicitly. This is helpful if you don't want to put the
regex as your first argument, e.g. when executing multiple searches over the
same set of files.

# search for foo and bar in given files
ack file1 t/file* --match foo
ack file1 t/file* --match bar

=item B<-m=I>, B<--max-count=I>

Stop reading a file after I matches.

=item B<--man>

Print this manual page.

=item B<-n>

No descending into subdirectories.

=item B<-o>

Show only the part of each line matching PATTERN (turns off text
highlighting)

=item B<--output=I>

Output the evaluation of I for each line (turns off text
highlighting)

=item B<--pager=I>

Direct ack's output through I. This can also be specified
via the C and C environment variables.

Using --pager does not suppress grouping and coloring like piping
output on the command-line does.

=item B<--passthru>

Prints all lines, whether or not they match the expression. Highlighting
will still work, though, so it can be used to highlight matches while
still seeing the entire file, as in:

# Watch a log file, and highlight a certain IP address
$ tail -f ~/access.log | ack --passthru 123.45.67.89

=item B<--print0>

Only works in conjunction with -f, -g, -l or -c (filename output). The filenames
are output separated with a null byte instead of the usual newline. This is
helpful when dealing with filenames that contain whitespace, e.g.

# remove all files of type html
ack -f --html --print0 | xargs -0 rm -f

=item B<-Q>, B<--literal>

Quote all metacharacters in PATTERN, it is treated as a literal.

This applies only to the PATTERN, not to the regexes given for the B<-g>
and B<-G> options.

=item B<--smart-case>, B<--no-smart-case>

Ignore case in the search strings if PATTERN contains no uppercase
characters. This is similar to C in vim. This option is
off by default.

B<-i> always overrides this option.

This applies only to the PATTERN, not to the regexes given for the
B<-g> and B<-G> options.

=item B<--sort-files>

Sorts the found files lexically. Use this if you want your file
listings to be deterministic between runs of I.

=item B<--thpppt>

Display the all-important Bill The Cat logo. Note that the exact
spelling of B<--thpppppt> is not important. It's checked against
a regular expression.

=item B<--type=TYPE>, B<--type=noTYPE>

Specify the types of files to include or exclude from a search.
TYPE is a filetype, like I or I. B<--type=perl> can
also be specified as B<--perl>, and B<--type=noperl> can be done
as B<--noperl>.

If a file is of both type "foo" and "bar", specifying --foo and
--nobar will exclude the file, because an exclusion takes precedence
over an inclusion.

Type specifications can be repeated and are ORed together.

See I for a list of valid types.

=item B<--type-add I=I<.EXTENSION>[,I<.EXT2>[,...]]>

Files with the given EXTENSION(s) are recognized as being of (the
existing) type TYPE. See also L.


=item B<--type-set I=I<.EXTENSION>[,I<.EXT2>[,...]]>

Files with the given EXTENSION(s) are recognized as being of type
TYPE. This replaces an existing definition for type TYPE. See also
L.

=item B<-u>, B<--unrestricted>

All files and directories (including blib/, core.*, ...) are searched,
nothing is skipped. When both B<-u> and B<--ignore-dir> are used, the
B<--ignore-dir> option has no effect.

=item B<-v>, B<--invert-match>

Invert match: select non-matching lines

This applies only to the PATTERN, not to the regexes given for the B<-g>
and B<-G> options.

=item B<--version>

Display version and copyright information.

=item B<-w>, B<--word-regexp>

Force PATTERN to match only whole words. The PATTERN is wrapped with
C<\b> metacharacters.

This applies only to the PATTERN, not to the regexes given for the B<-g>
and B<-G> options.

=item B<-1>

Stops after reporting first match of any kind. This is different
from B<--max-count=1> or B<-m1>, where only one match per file is
shown. Also, B<-1> works with B<-f> and B<-g>, where B<-m> does
not.

=back

=head1 THE .ackrc FILE

The F<.ackrc> file contains command-line options that are prepended
to the command line before processing. Multiple options may live
on multiple lines. Lines beginning with a # are ignored. A F<.ackrc>
might look like this:

# Always sort the files
--sort-files

# Always color, even if piping to a another program
--color

# Use "less -r" as my pager
--pager=less -r

Note that arguments with spaces in them do not need to be quoted,
as they are not interpreted by the shell. Basically, each I
in the F<.ackrc> file is interpreted as one element of C<@ARGV>.

F looks in your home directory for the F<.ackrc>. You can
specify another location with the F variable, below.

If B<--noenv> is specified on the command line, the F<.ackrc> file
is ignored.

=head1 Defining your own types

ack allows you to define your own types in addition to the predefined
types. This is done with command line options that are best put into
an F<.ackrc> file - then you do not have to define your types over and
over again. In the following examples the options will always be shown
on one command line so that they can be easily copy & pasted.

I searches for foo in all perl files. I
tells you, that perl files are files ending
in .pl, .pm, .pod or .t. So what if you would like to include .xs
files as well when searching for --perl files? I
does this for you. B<--type-add> appends
additional extensions to an existing type.

If you want to define a new type, or completely redefine an existing
type, then use B<--type-set>. I defines the type I to include files with
the extensions .e or .eiffel. So to search for all eiffel files
containing the word Bertrand use I.
As usual, you can also write B<--type=eiffel>
instead of B<--eiffel>. Negation also works, so B<--noeiffel> excludes
all eiffel files from a search. Redefining also works: I
and I<.xs> files no longer belong to the type I.

When defining your own types in the F<.ackrc> file you have to use
the following:

--type-set=eiffel=.e,.eiffel

or writing on separate lines

--type-set
eiffel=.e,.eiffel

The following does B work in the F<.ackrc> file:

--type-set eiffel=.e,.eiffel


In order to see all currently defined types, use I<--help types>, e.g.
I

Restrictions:

=over 4

=item

The types 'skipped', 'make', 'binary' and 'text' are considered "builtin" and
cannot be altered.

=item

The shebang line recognition of the types 'perl', 'ruby', 'php', 'python',
'shell' and 'xml' cannot be redefined by I<--type-set>, it is always
active. However, the shebang line is only examined for files where the
extension is not recognised. Therefore it is possible to say
I and
only find your shiny new I<.perl> files (and all files with unrecognized extension
and perl on the shebang line).

=back

=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

For commonly-used ack options, environment variables can make life much easier.
These variables are ignored if B<--noenv> is specified on the command line.

=over 4

=item ACKRC

Specifies the location of the F<.ackrc> file. If this file doesn't
exist, F looks in the default location.

=item ACK_OPTIONS

This variable specifies default options to be placed in front of
any explicit options on the command line.

=item ACK_COLOR_FILENAME

Specifies the color of the filename when it's printed in B<--group>
mode. By default, it's "bold green".

The recognized attributes are clear, reset, dark, bold, underline,
underscore, blink, reverse, concealed black, red, green, yellow,
blue, magenta, on_black, on_red, on_green, on_yellow, on_blue,
on_magenta, on_cyan, and on_white. Case is not significant.
Underline and underscore are equivalent, as are clear and reset.
The color alone sets the foreground color, and on_color sets the
background color.

=item ACK_COLOR_MATCH

Specifies the color of the matching text when printed in B<--color>
mode. By default, it's "black on_yellow".

See B for the color specifications.

=item ACK_PAGER

Specifies a pager program, such as C, C or C, to which
ack will send its output.

Using C does not suppress grouping and coloring like
piping output on the command-line does, except that on Windows
ack will assume that C does not support color.

C overrides C if both are specified.

=item ACK_PAGER_COLOR

Specifies a pager program that understands ANSI color sequences.
Using C does not suppress grouping and coloring
like piping output on the command-line does.

If you are not on Windows, you never need to use C.

=head1 ACK & OTHER TOOLS

=head2 Vim integration

F integrates easily with the Vim text editor. Set this in your
F<.vimrc> to use F instead of F:

set grepprg=ack\ -a

That examples uses C<-a> to search through all files, but you may
use other default flags. Now you can search with F and easily
step through the results in Vim:

:grep Dumper perllib

=head2 Emacs integration

Phil Jackson put together an F extension that "provides a
simple compilation mode ... has the ability to guess what files you
want to search for based on the major-mode."

L

=head2 TextMate integration

Pedro Melo is a TextMate user who writes "I spend my day mostly
inside TextMate, and the built-in find-in-project sucks with large
projects. So I hacked a TextMate command that was using find +
grep to use ack. The result is the Search in Project with ack, and
you can find it here:
L"

=head2 Shell and Return Code

For greater compatibility with I, I in normal use returns
shell return or exit code of 0 only if something is found and 1 if
no match is found.

(Shell exit code 1 is C<$?=256> in perl with C or backticks.)

The I code 2 for errors is not used.

0 is returned if C<-f> or C<-g> are specified, irrespective of
number of files found.

=cut

=head1 DEBUGGING ACK PROBLEMS

If ack gives you output you're not expecting, start with a few simple steps.

=head2 Use B<--noenv>

Your environment variables and F<.ackrc> may be doing things you're
not expecting, or forgotten you specified. Use B<--noenv> to ignore
your environment and F<.ackrc>.

=head2 Use B<-f> to see what files you're scanning

The reason I created B<-f> in the first place was as a debugging
tool. If ack is not finding matches you think it should find, run
F to see what files are being checked.

=head1 TIPS

=head2 Use the F<.ackrc> file.

The F<.ackrc> is the place to put all your options you use most of
the time but don't want to remember. Put all your --type-add and
--type-set definitions in it. If you like --smart-case, set it
there, too. I also set --sort-files there.

=head2 Use F<-f> for working with big codesets

Ack does more than search files. C will create a
list of all the Perl files in a tree, ideal for sending into F.
For example:

# Change all "this" to "that" in all Perl files in a tree.
ack -f --perl | perl -p -i -e's/this/that/g'

=head2 Use F<-Q> when in doubt about metacharacters

If you're searching for something with a regular expression
metacharacter, most often a period in a filename or IP address, add
the -Q to avoid false positives without all the backslashing. See
the following example for more...

=head2 Use ack to watch log files

Here's one I used the other day to find trouble spots for a website
visitor. The user had a problem loading F, so I
took the access log and scanned it with ack twice.

ack -Q aa.bb.cc.dd /path/to/access.log | ack -Q -B5 troublesome.gif

The first ack finds only the lines in the Apache log for the given
IP. The second finds the match on my troublesome GIF, and shows
the previous five lines from the log in each case.

App::Ack::print( <<"END_OF_HELP" ); Usage: ack [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE] Search for PATTERN in each source file in the tree from cwd on down. If [FILES] is specified, then only those files/directories are checked. ack may also search STDIN, but only if no FILE are specified, or if one of FILES is "-". Default switches may be specified in ACK_OPTIONS environment variable or an .ackrc file. If you want no dependency on the environment, turn it off with --noenv. Example: ack -i select Searching: -i, --ignore-case Ignore case distinctions in PATTERN --[no]smart-case Ignore case distinctions in PATTERN, only if PATTERN contains no upper case Ignored if -i is specified -v, --invert-match Invert match: select non-matching lines -w, --word-regexp Force PATTERN to match only whole words -Q, --literal Quote all metacharacters; PATTERN is literal Search output: --line=NUM Only print line(s) NUM of each file -l, --files-with-matches Only print filenames containing matches -L, --files-without-match Only print filenames with no match -o Show only the part of a line matching PATTERN (turns off text highlighting) --passthru Print all lines, whether matching or not --output=expr Output the evaluation of expr for each line (turns off text highlighting) --match PATTERN Specify PATTERN explicitly. -m, --max-count=NUM Stop searching in each file after NUM matches -1 Stop searching after one match of any kind -H, --with-filename Print the filename for each match -h, --no-filename Suppress the prefixing filename on output -c, --count Show number of lines matching per file -A NUM, --after-context=NUM Print NUM lines of trailing context after matching lines. -B NUM, --before-context=NUM Print NUM lines of leading context before matching lines. -C [NUM], --context[=NUM] Print NUM lines (default 2) of output context. --print0 Print null byte as separator between filenames, only works with -f, -g, -l, -L or -c. File presentation: --pager=COMMAND Pipes all ack output through COMMAND. Ignored if output is redirected. --nopager Do not send output through a pager. Cancels any setting in ~/.ackrc, ACK_PAGER or ACK_PAGER_COLOR. --[no]heading Print a filename heading above each file's results. (default: on when used interactively) --[no]break Print a break between results from different files. (default: on when used interactively) --group Same as --heading --break --nogroup Same as --noheading --nobreak --[no]color Highlight the matching text (default: on unless output is redirected, or on Windows) --[no]colour Same as --[no]color --flush Flush output immediately, even when ack is used non-interactively (when output goes to a pipe or file). File finding: -f Only print the files found, without searching. The PATTERN must not be specified. -g REGEX Same as -f, but only print files matching REGEX. --sort-files Sort the found files lexically. File inclusion/exclusion: -a, --all-types All file types searched; Ignores CVS, .svn and other ignored directories -u, --unrestricted All files and directories searched --[no]ignore-dir=name Add/Remove directory from the list of ignored dirs -n No descending into subdirectories -G REGEX Only search files that match REGEX --perl Include only Perl files. --type=perl Include only Perl files. --noperl Exclude Perl files. --type=noperl Exclude Perl files. See "ack --help type" for supported filetypes. --type-set TYPE=.EXTENSION[,.EXT2[,...]] Files with the given EXTENSION(s) are recognized as being of type TYPE. This replaces an existing definition for type TYPE. --type-add TYPE=.EXTENSION[,.EXT2[,...]] Files with the given EXTENSION(s) are recognized as being of (the existing) type TYPE --[no]follow Follow symlinks. Default is off. Directories ignored by default: $ignore_dirs Files not checked for type: /~\$/ - Unix backup files /#.+#\$/ - Emacs swap files /[._].*\\.swp\$/ - Vi(m) swap files /core\\.\\d+\$/ - core dumps Miscellaneous: --noenv Ignore environment variables and ~/.ackrc --help This help --man Man page --version Display version & copyright --thpppt Bill the Cat Exit status is 0 if match, 1 if no match.

Best Windows shortcuts ( revised )

various sources
This material has been copied from various sources so no offence!
ALT + TAB
Move between active applications.
WINKEY + M
This will clear your desktop in an instant by minimizing all active applications.
WINKEY + E =
Opens explorer windows with the folder sidebar enabled
WINKEY + D
This will also clear your desktop, however if you press WINKEY + D once more the applications will reappear.
WINKEY + L
This will lock the computer; you will still have to unlock it by pressing CTRL+ALT DELETE.
WINKEY + F
This will open the search assistant.
WINKEY + R
This will open the RUN command prompt.
WINKEY + B
Sets focus on the task bar, you can navigate by using the arrow keys; press ENTER to open one of the applications. You can't really see which icon is selected, but just wait a moment and the application info text will appear. If you press TAB the focus will be set on the desktop.
----
The following shortcuts will work in almost any office application environment; I am especially pleased to use them when I browse the web.
CTRL + O (CTRL + L)
This will open the location field. In Internet Explorer you can use this to type in a web address.
CTRL + N
This will open a new application window, either an empty window or a clone.
In Internet Explorer the new window will show the same URL. So it is useful if you want to maintain the old browser window, and not having to leave the keyboard to open another browser window.
CTRL + TAB
Use this short cut to move between tab panes, use CTRL + SHIFT + TAB to move in reverse order.
Some Shortcut Keys you might enjoy
Windows XP is full of many KEY-Combo Shortcuts to access Feasures quickly. Here are some of the shortcuts you may find most useful.
WINKEY + PAUSE/BREAK =
Opens "system propertieS"
SHIFT + DELETE =
Delete a file without sending to Recycler first (NO RECOVERY!)
F5 =
Refresh (Usefull in Internet Explorer)
SHIFT F5 =
Reload Webpage from scratch (NO CACHE)
CTRL + SHIFT + END =
Highlight everything down a Text page from current possition (USE HOME for up)
ALT + CTRL + DEL =
Ahh, an old favorite. If an App. is being rude, use this to bring the the "Task Manager" (and kill it if you want). There is some other toys here too like, priorities you can set.
Search "Shortcut keys" under "HELP & SUPPORT" for a complete list of Shortcuts, including these.
for cmd
F7 - displays the history of the commands which have been used
Ctrl + Shift + ESC : Run Task Manager

NUnit and log4net Simple Example Console Application Tutorial

Prerequisites : you do know something about C# and building console applications

Download NUnit
Download log4net

While installing remember where do you install them, since later on you would have to find the following 2 dlls:
log4net.dll ( for the using log4net; using log4net.Config; part )
and nunit.framework.dll ( for the using NUnit.Framework; part of the code )

Create a new project in VS ( or another IDE in your choice )
Add the references to the above mentioned dll's

Copy paste the bellow code. Build your solution.
Start the Nunit GUI. Create new Nunit project. Navigate to the bin folder of the project copy paste the path of the produced executable ( it contains also the tests in it - than press F5 to verify that all the tests are ran.

//this is the xml added replace here your log4net and Nunit paths
