[09:26:34] ugh [09:26:45] or not, it is not a programming language [09:27:01] Which makes me sad. [09:27:28] The very existence of ParserFunctions suggests it wants to be a programming language. [09:29:20] it doesn't have it own will, but common sense says that it should not be a programming language [09:29:54] Power-users demand their toys! [09:31:35] power users know that they don't want such a broken toy [09:31:39] haha [09:31:53] You know looking at the more complicated templates - that's very true.

[09:48:38] luna6: why would you do that? [09:49:12] you probably should not do that [09:56:56] bah, I'm leaving [09:58:16] hey because im getting weird errors [09:58:22] my wiki uses a lot of special characters [09:58:35] like here -- http://asianmediawiki.com/Tadanobu_Asano [09:58:43] shows "A database query syntax error has occurred.

[21:59:53] wtf srsly, fornicate php aurally [22:00:01] http://pastebin.com/mb33e6cd doesnt work [22:04:42] HardDisk_WP, grep -r *.php means "search recursively in the files *.php". None are directories, so -r does nothing. [22:05:05] Simetrical, how do I do it the correct way? [22:05:15] HardDisk_WP, you want something like: find -iname *.php -exec grep -n missing-article [22:05:25] Er. [22:05:34] Actually, make that: find -iname '*.php' -exec grep -n missing-article [22:05:41] Don't want the shell to catch the glob character. [22:05:55] $ find -iname '*.php' -exec grep -n missing-article [22:05:55] find: missing argument to `-exec' [22:06:00] Er, right.

[22:06:19] *awaynomie has always liked find . -name \*.php -print0 | xargs -0 grep -n missing-article [22:06:34] awaynomie, I don't use xargs, find -exec does everything I want and it's shorter. :) [22:06:45] Urgh, the messages.php cause my shell to beep.

[22:07:08] Simetrical- It has always seemed to me that xargs ends up faster though, since it doesn't spawn an instance of grep for each file [22:07:18] awaynomie, nor does find, if you use {} +. [22:07:29] *awaynomie must look into "{} +" [22:07:51] Simetrical, I use cygwin...and these UTF8 characters trigger cmd.exe's beep =) [22:08:07] haha [22:08:08] *awaynomie just learned something [22:08:16] my hard drive in Dos got messed up once, really badly [22:08:35] chr 7 as you might remember is the 'beep' character [22:08:45] awaynomie, from my man find: http://pastebin.ca/1291756 [22:08:50] well, it inserted one of those into my drive's volume label [22:08:56] every time I typed 'dir' it beeped [22:09:00] Splarka, at least in DOS \007 can't be in file names.

My man find has the same text, I just never noticed it [22:10:20] but it used to be, at the top of every 'dir', you'd see it [22:10:25] *Simetrical has no idea what a volume label is, sort of assumed it meant "C:" or whatever [22:10:37] nah, it is like a 'filename' for a drive [22:10:53] I'm old enough that I used a DOS command line before I used a GUI.
