I usually use $x() function on Google Chrome development console. However, when XML file has a namespace the query does not work. I could not find any way to add the namespace. I was wondering if I am missing something or is a missing feature.
I don't know if there is a way to include namespaces in the function, but it's possible to (try to) avoid them altogether by using local-name().
For example, if your element is (picked randomly for an EDGAR filing):
<edgar:companyName>Federal Bank of Boston</edgar:companyName>
This expression
$x('//*[local-name()="companyName"]')
should select it.

Is it anyhow possible (with newer XPath version maybe) to get following thing working:
//a/#href[not contains("DOMAIN OF THE CURRENT PAGE")]
DOMAIN OF THE CURRENT PAGЕ should work like variable, which gets the domain - something like {HTTP_HOST}.
I want to get all external links on this way.
If the domain of the current page exists as content of the current page, then, yes, you can select it and use it in an XPath predicate. Otherwise, no, there is no standard, universal variable defined in XPath for the domain of the current page.
Any given XPath hosting language or tool may have a mechanism to provide the domain of a page. For XPath 3.0, they might leverage the standard environment variable functions, fn:environment-variable and fn:available-environment-variables.
Alternatively, you could construct the XPath dynamically within the hosting language that knows the page – see How to pass variable parameter into XPath expression?.
I have a script that takes in multiple parameters, and that I've documented with proper help comments (e.g. .SYNOPSIS, .DESCRIPTION, .PARAMETER). Several different users in my organization are going to use this powershell script, some who know powershell and will call it from powershell with specific parameter values, and some who don't know powershell and will simply right-click on the script file in Windows Explorer and choose Run with PowerShell (so the parameters will use their default values).
My conundrum is what is the best way to do this in powershell without a bunch of duplicate code. The way I see it, these are my options:
1 - Just write a DoStuff.ps1 script that provides default values for all parameters. This allows it to be ran directly from Windows Explorer, but feels clunky for the powershell users that want to use it as a function from their own scripts, since instead of writing:
Do-Stuff param1 param1
they will be doing:
.\DoStuff.ps1 param1 param2
2 - Within DoStuff.ps1, move the operations it performs into a DoStuff function, and after the function declaration call the DoStuff function with the parameters passed into the script. This would still allow the script to be ran from Windows Explorer, as well as developers to dot source the script into their own scripts so they can access the function. The downside is that when the developers dot source the script, the script is going to call the function with the default parameters (unless I allow them to provide an optional Switch parameter to the script that triggers the function to not be called). Even with this though, it means that I would have to duplicate all of the scripts help text so that it shows for both the script and the function (description, parameter descriptions, etc.).
I can't think of any other options. Ideally I would just be able to write functions in .ps1 file and tag a function with a "default" keyword so that if the script is called, that function is ran by default; but I don't think PowerShell provides anything like this.
What do you think is the best approach in this situation. Is there something I'm overlooking or don't know about? Thanks.
but feels clunky for the powershell users that want to use it as a function from their own scripts
Default parameters would seem, based on your description, to be the best (or, at least, least-worse) approach.
But rather than naming your script DoStuff.ps1 name it and call it so it can be called more like an internal function:
Name it with the dash: Do-Stuff.ps1
Remember you don't need to specify the ps1
If the script is in a folder in $env:Path then you don't need to specify a path.
Also consider a script can load a module from a relative path: you could put most of the code in a script module which the front end (right click on it) script loads and calls into it. Script authors load the module themselves.
Ok, I feel embarrassed that I wasn't able to figure this out on my own, but after a few wasted hours, I figured it would be easier to simply ask over here:
I have a bunch of .gs-files in my Google Apps Script project. Now, I want to call another file's function from a method (something like AnotherClass.awesomeFunction(), which throws a ReferenceError though). Is this possible in Google Apps Script? If so, how?
Files aren't classes. You can call any functions in any file from any other file. Think of your files as if they were just added together before running. If you want class-like scoping you can use the Libraries feature.
The Above replies are correct above file being appended, make sure the order of the files in the file explorer on the app script project page is correct
The Function definition should be in the first file and the function call in the latter.
You change the option of the each file by clicking the 3 dots next to file name and selecting Move file up or Move file down
The following syntax allows you to call any function from within your Google Apps Script project, regardless of whether the function is defined in the same file that is calling it:
myFunction();
The following code is unnecessary and will throw errors:
google.script.run.myFunction();
It can do.
and Corey is right, files is not class.
I'd just like to add that order of files is not important as experienced by me so far. I'm working on a project where all calls are at the start to get a clear tree and all definitions of functions are at the end. Sometimes they're even mixed without any order within files too. So, I guess, it can call function from anywhere regardless of order within file or within project files. It's working in my case though.
I need to add some code to the of several html contained in a folder on my desktop. How can i do that?
I am using a prototyping tool (Axure) on Mac and I want to add some html meta tags to the generated pages. These pages can be overwritten every time I generate the prototype. What I need is a sort of script that I can launch after re-generating the prototype, to reinsert the code. There is something for windows but it doesn't work on Mac: http://joshuamorse.com/2009/01/14/axure-protonotes-an-alternative-to-protoshare/
thanks
This is a very simple problem to solve using a shell script.
If you are not familiar with scripting, then check out the Automator program built-in to OS X.
This provides a "visual" way of building automation workflows.
This is the basic steps that your workflow will need to perform.
Find the files that need updating.
For each file
Open the file using TextEdit
Tell TextEdit to Find the Head element and replace with the new Head Element that includes the script
Save the file.
Repeat
How about a simple find/replace in multiple files using something like this:
http://search-and-replace.en.softonic.com/mac
If you are able to create some sort of 'dummy' tag in Axure, you could use that as the 'find' that you could replace with your meta tags.
That seems to be a simple way to do what you want.
Anyone have any experience of using Closure js lib and Mootools in the same page?
Conflicts or works ok?
According to google:
The names of all Closure Library
functions and properties begin with a
dot-delimited path that prevents them
from accidentally overlapping with
names defined in non-Closure Library
code. This path is called a namespace.
(http://code.google.com/closure/library/docs/introduction.html)
So there should be no conflicts, also I checked the API documentation and it reaffirms my findings, for example, for array manipulation you have to go through the google namespace (goog):
goog.array.binaryInsert(array, value, opt_compareFn) ⇒
boolean
(http://closure-library.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/closure/goog/docs/closure_goog_array_array.js.html)
This is unlike the MooTools extention of the Array class itself.
