Find all the *.as files in the src folder and print every line that isn't just whitespace characters (spaces, tabs etc.)

find ./src -name *.as -print -exec grep -Rv ^[[:space:]]*$ {} \; | wc -l

Useful for counting lines-of-code.

Ant Error & Fix

Posted by mattc at Apr 14, 08 03:14 PM ... Comments (0)

Using Ant 1.7 on OSX 1.4 with commons-net-1.4.1.jar in my lib path and the built in FTP task behind our work firewall when I get the following message:

java.net.SocketException: SOCKS: Connection not allowed by ruleset

I fixed it by adding the full address of our firewall to the 'Bypass proxy settings ...' list in the System Preferences -> Network -> Connection Type -> Proxies.

• STORYTRON - Interactive Storytelling

  Conceptually interactive storytelling seems to have come a long way since 1970 but I still don't understand the Storytron user experience.
