- brace matcher
- License: Shareware
- Price:


brace matcher (actually a lexical analyzer) that ignores proper comments. slash-splat will consume a slash-slash. a / or / within a // will be ignored.
Intended for C/C++ and PHP, but now works with optional angle brackets for xml, html, wml, xhtml. shows the location of the brace errors. Ignores linefeeds and looks for n and r. in PHP, brackets in double-quotes strings count. in C++ they don't. single-quoted strings are not handled. This project was created because the brace-matcher in an editor is not enough when PHP or C++ compiler starts giving weird bracket errors. I need something to verify what's going on and give me a detailed report. This is a programmer's tool. not a whole language syntax checker like lint, but a brace checker with some smarts. can handle C++/PHP/JS/Java style strings and comments, and optionally,...

- License: Freeware

create binary or text test data files (repeating string, repeating integer binary words, or Mersenne Twister Random). Windows GUI, cmd-line, and DOS. I think source is generic, so it may be compilable on UNIX.

- dxf-to-pov
- License: Shareware
- Price:


flex and bison files for limited conversion from autocad dxf to POV-RAY format.
whole DXF flex syntax is there as of that timeframe.
I tried my best, but I am not an expert in flex and bison.
files are huge.
written for gnu C, flex and bison (mingw works)
limited conversion from autocad dxf to POV-RAY format.
unfinished, took it as far as I could.
source files are huge
practically whole DXF syntax as of time of writing (12/2008)
bison file does the very simplified syntax conversion to POV (could be expanded), flex file does the reading of the dxf file, but dxf file must be in text format.
additional personally written converter written in C/C++ to do conversion from DXF to POV
due to the fact that the test files were from a copyrighted disc, cannot include them. dxf...

- Flush Print Jobs for Windows
- License: Shareware
- Price:


several different methods to flush ALL local print jobs, intended for Windows windows 9x and up.
The "2000+ flush spool only" should work under WINE possibly if WINE supports printing.
with windows 9x/me you must manually purge the print jobs from the print icons afterwards because windows 9x/me is not smart enough to update these printer icons when there are no jobs, and there is no way to really "restart" the print spooler. I have tried killing the spooler and restarting it, does nothing, and there is no service control manager in 9x/me and the net command doesn't support the spooler.
Features:
simply flushes the print spooler for all local printers
has a program for xp/vista/7/8/2008/2008R2/etc family of OS's which enumerates (goes through) all the local printers and then flushes...

- longest line, sort by line length
- License: Freeware
- Price: 0.00


longest line, sort by line length are designed as simple and handy Command Line utilities for your operating system.
Useful for verification that any files in filesystem are not longer than MAX_PATH (Windows C++ compiler) or MAXPATH (DJGPP targeting for DOS) which is 260 characters. (see createdatafiles.cmd in longestline-x.x\win\ directory). May have other interesting and fun, and programming uses as well I have not thought of.
longestline gives a detailed report about the longest line in the text file.
sortbylinelength is a linux-style text filter which takes lines of text as standard input and sorts the text by line length (ALL lines in memory at once) and dumps the sorted lines to standard output. it can reverse the order with the --reverse Command Line switch.
