Hi Jan. After I posted my tip, I found myself using ci’ and ci(. Don’t know how I lived withot them before.

I just skimmed through the first dozen slides of the talk you linked and I can tell I’ll learn a lot from it. Thanks!

Ah, yes. Good old inner/outer motions. As a quick reminder, use cat to change everything including the opening and closing tag (“outerHTML”, anyone?), vit to select the inner contents, yit to copy the contents, etc.

The motions also work for quotes (ci") and the like.

I learned a lot from “VIM for PHP programers”: http://zmievski.org/2007/02/vim-for-php-programmers-slides-and-resources – it is not limited to PHP.

Comment on Verifying JavaScript with JSLint and Visual Studio by Andrew Johns

Have you seen the JSLint.VS addin for VS2008?

it provides a dialog window for settings, and can integrate with the build process, but unfortunately it’s not very stable and not being supported by the developer any more.

It’s a shame because it can run the tool against multiple files by combining them all into one temp file before pushing it to jslint, which can identify errors that might creep in when attempting to combine and minify your js, so well worth it.

Actually, I stumbled across your site because I was searching to see if anyone had any code out there, preferably in C#, that involved parsing the IMDB data files they make available on their FTP site. It seems that you indeed had an article about this awhile back, using LINQ to do it. I’m interested to see how you used LINQ and how you dealt with some of the files with horrendous formatting (movies.list is giving me a headache trying to come up with a regex that fits the dozens of different formats they mash all together).

The original URL for the entry was apparently:

That makes me want to port Colossal Cave Adventure (the original adventure game – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_(computer_game). Lots of ports for it (http://www.wurb.com/if/game/1), but none in C#! )

I use that all the time, even for non-expensive objects

No, seems perfectly clear to me.

Comment on Splitting CamelCase With Regular Expressions by James Smith

Your thinking about camelCasing and PascalCasing is correct. If Wikipedia (the mother of non-authoritative sources) contradicts that, then, QED, it’s incorrect. See Microsoft for official definitions (camelCase/PascalCasing).

Please do not corrupt the world by waffling. camelCase is camelCase and PascalCase is PascalCase.

I was able to run it with one file. Once I open another file, it does pick up the new file but gives the results for the first file. Anything I am missing here?

Thanks Brian. Hope it’s useful to you!
