7. Revised sacha/perl-training/suck-data-in : 22:56
Categories: LinuxConvenience#4 -- Permalink
(defun sacha/perl-training/suck-data-in ()
"Insert BBDB records for all the Perl trainees."
(interactive)
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward "^\\([[:digit:]]+\\)" nil t)
(let ((data (split-string (buffer-substring-no-properties (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position)) "|"))
record)

"PLDT" ; Company

(bbdb-record-set-aka record (list (concat "pldt" (elt data 0))))
(bbdb-change-record record nil))))
6. Elisp code to insert all : 22:38
Categories: LinuxConvenience#3 -- Permalink
Data is of the form
number|Name|e-mail|Expectations
(defun sacha/perl-training/suck-data-in ()
"Insert BBDB records for all the Perl trainees."
(interactive)
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward "^\\([[:digit:]]+\\)" nil t)

5. Extracting the trainees' files and packaging them : 22:13
Categories: LinuxConvenience#2 -- Permalink
Shell scripting to the rescue!
# Zip their work up
for DIR in *; do ( cd $DIR; zip perl-day1.zip * ); done
# Realize that I have to get rid of the archives temporarily because
# I might want to insert all the files into a buffer, so back it up first
tar zcvf archive.tar.gz $(find -name \*.zip)
# Remove all the zip files
find -name \*.zip -exec rm {} \;
4. Extracting all the mail addresses from the programs : 22:12
Categories: LinuxConvenience#1 -- Permalink
grep -ri 'mail' * -A 10 -B 10 | less
This displays enough context information around the data so that I can grab it easily.
3. Project ideas : 08:48
Categories: Teaching.Perl#5 -- Permalink
Rating system - they've got this already
2. Perl focus : 08:46
Categories: Teaching.Perl#4 -- Permalink
- Reading source code, testing, adapting software to their own needs
- 4 programmers
1. Stuff at [[../learn/perl/training/day1]] so far : 00:05
Categories: None -- Permalink
Oh no, it's 12:05 and I haven't even started on Real Text Processing...
