Java came in handy today!

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I'm in my second year of programming in school and haven't had any real use for Java, but today I did 🙂

DeviousTrap IMed me that he needed a list of commands real quick, for 99 users. I decided to not type it manually.

I got the list of users, formatted each like a string should be seperate by commas using the replace all command

Then I made a string array and a for loop. the loop just outputted what I needed with the user's account name there. I got all 99 commands done within 10 minutes including making the program, formatting list of users, and e-mailing the commands to him

😎

Couldn't that have been done faster and easier with a shell script?

I fail to see why java is essential in this equation.

 

[Zanix]

what commands?

Sounds like something Perl would have been good to use too.

I think Perl isn't used as much now, especially the past few years because of PHP

I know that around 96/97, Perl was used far much more

I could've done that faster in Excel probably. 😉

Kinda sad since I like Perl alot. But it also makes me want to learn PHP a bit and see how it compares.

heh i remember using Java to generate some irsim (chip design stuff) inputs for an assignment. would have sucked to do that by cut/paste
