$Id: README.txt 204 2010-11-30 02:20:04Z pwilkins $ sm-transcript reads results of SLS processing and produces transcripts for the SpokenMedia browser. For each file in the source folder whose extension matches the source type, a file of destination type is created in the destination folder. All of these parameters have default values. Note: Examples of the commands you enter in the terminal are for *nix. The command prompt in the examples is: felix$ <command line> If you are a Windows user, make the usual adjustments. Requirements: sm-transcript is written in Ruby and packaged as a RubyGem. Since Ruby is not a compiled language, you will need to have Ruby installed on your machine to run sm-transcript. You can determine if Ruby is installed by typing "ruby -v" at a terminal prompt. It should return the version of Ruby that is installed. If Ruby is not installed on your machine, navigate to http://www.ruby-lang.org/ and follow the installation instructions. sm-transcript was developed using Ruby 1.8. Other Ruby versions have not been tested as of this release. Installation: You can get sm-transcript as either a RubyGem or as source from svn. The preferred way to install this package is as a Rubygem. You can download and install the gem with this command: felix$ sudo gem install [--verbose] sm-transcript This command downloads the most recent version of the gem from rubygems.org and makes it active. Previous versions of the gem remain installed, but are deactivated. You must use "sudo" to properly install the gem. If you execute "gem install" (omitting the "sudo") the gem is installed in your home gem repository and it isn't in your path without additional configuration. Note: You need sudo privileges to run the command as written. If you can't sudo, then you can install it locally and will need some additional configuration. Contact me (or your local Ruby wizard) for assistance. The executable is now in your path. You can cleanly uninstall the gem with this command: felix$ sudo gem uninstall sm-transcript If you have access to our svn repository, you are welcome to check out the code. Be warned that the trunk tip is not necessarily stable. It changes frequently as enhancements (and bug fixes) are added. (note that the 'smb_transcript' in the command line below is not a typo.) svn co svn+ssh://svn.mit.edu/oeit-tsa/SMB/smb_transcript/trunk sm_transcript build the gem by running this command from the directory you installed the source. This is what it looks like on my machine: felix$ rake gem The gem will be built and put in ./pkg You can now use the gem installation instructions above. Using the App: Run with no command line parameters, the app reads *.wrd files out of ./results and writes *.t1.html files to ./transcripts. These directories are relative to where sm_transcript is called. Note: destination files are overwritten without a warning prompt. If you want to preserve an existing output file, rename it before running the app again. For example, run the app by navigating to the bin folder and enter projects/sm_transcript/bin felix$ sm_transcript This command run from this folder will read *.wrd files from bin/results and write *-t1.html to bin/transcripts. Usage: sm_transcript [options] --srcdir PATH Read files from this folder (Default: ./results) --destdir PATH Write files to this folder (Default: ./transcripts) --srctype wrd | seg | txt | ttml | srt Kind of file to process (Default: wrd) --desttype html | ttml | datajs | json Kind of file to output (Default: html) -h, --help Show this message There is a serious gotch'a in specifying the srctype parameter: it must match the case of the file extension that you're processing. This means that if the srt files that you are processing have the extension .SRT, then you must specify the srctype as "SRT". Pretty lame, I know. I will update the gem with a fix shortly. My apologies until then. Troubleshooting: sm-transcript requires additional gems to operate. The RubyGem installation should install dependencies automatically, but when it doesn't, you get an error that includes ... no such file to load -- builder (LoadError) in the first few lines when you run sm-transcript, the problem is a missing dependent gem. (the error above indicates that the Builder gem is missing.) Try installing the missing gem. For the error above, the command looks like this on my computer: felix$ sudo gem install builder See "Required Gems" below for more information. A warning message such as: "WARNING: Nokogiri was built against LibXML version 2.7.6, but has dynamically loaded 2.7.7"" may be safely ignored. If you continue to have trouble, feel free to contact me. Upgrading: You can easily upgrade by simply executing the same command you used to install the gem. Running install again will add the newer version and make it active. By default the most recent version is used, but older versions are still available, simply inactive. If are using svn, you should already know what to do. Required Gems: builder - create structured data, such as XML extensions - added for the 'require_relative' command. (To get this command in Ruby 1.8 you need to install this gem, for Ruby 1.9 the command is already part of the core.) htmlentities - html parsing json - create JSON structured data nokogiri - xml parsing library optparse - option parsing of command line ostruct - open data structures ppcommand - pp is a pretty printer. It is used only for debugging rake - make for Ruby rubygems - support for gems (shouldn't be needed for Ruby 1.9) shoulda - enhancement for Test::Unit This command installs gems on OSX and Linux: felix$ sudo gem install <gem name> I recommend running the following command to update to latest version of rubygems before loading new gems. felix$ sudo gem update --system Unit Tests: You may run all unit tests by navigating to the test folder and running rake with no parameters (the default rake task runs all tests). On my computer, it looks like this: projects/sm_transcript/test felix$ rake Release Notes: Initial Version - runs under Ruby 1.8.x. version 0.0.4 - fixes bug when processing .WRD files with CRLF line endings. version 0.0.5 - removed due to posting error version 0.0.6 - added srctype of ttml and desttype of json, fixed bug where beginning time of word was actually for previous word. version 0.0.7 - added srt as srctype version 0.0.8 - fixed bug that dropped last phrase from transcripts version 1.0.0 - declared this version 1.0.0 to conform more closely with gem numbering conventions. All tests run successfully. To Do: - specify individual files for processing rather than folders - fix bug in srt processing: can't read Creole srt content. - allow user to modify the "t1" file extension for addition languages of the same transcript. - update code to run under Ruby 1.9
Lookout-Rake Lookout-Rake provides Rake¹ tasks for testing using Lookout. ¹ See http://rake.rubyforge.org/ § Installation Install Lookout-Rake with % gem install lookout-rake § Usage Include the following code in your ‹Rakefile›: require 'lookout-rake-3.0' Lookout::Rake::Tasks::Test.new If the ‹:default› task hasn’t been defined it’ll be set to depend on the ‹:test› task. The ‹:check› task will also depend on the ‹:test› task. There’s also a ‹:test:coverage› task that gets defined that uses the coverage library that comes with Ruby 1.9 to check the test coverage when the tests are run. You can hook up your test task to use your Inventory¹: load File.expand_path('../lib/library-X.0/version.rb', __FILE__) Lookout::Rake::Tasks::Test.new :inventory => Library::Version Also, if you use the tasks that come with Inventory-Rake², the test task will hook into the inventory you tell them to use automatically, that is, the following will do: load File.expand_path('../lib/library-X.0/version.rb', __FILE__) Inventory::Rake::Tasks.define Library::Version Lookout::Rake::Tasks::Test.new For further usage information, see the {API documentation}³. ¹ Inventory: http://disu.se/software/inventory/ ² Inventory-Rake: http://disu.se/software/inventory-rake/ ³ API: http://disu.se/software/lookout-rake/api/Lookout/Rake/Tasks/Test/ § Integration To use Lookout together with Vim¹, place ‹contrib/rakelookout.vim› in ‹~/.vim/compiler› and add compiler rakelookout to ‹~/.vim/after/ftplugin/ruby.vim›. Executing ‹:make› from inside Vim will now run your tests and an errors and failures can be visited with ‹:cnext›. Execute ‹:help quickfix› for additional information. Another useful addition to your ‹~/.vim/after/ftplugin/ruby.vim› file may be nnoremap <buffer> <silent> <Leader>M <Esc>:call <SID>run_test()<CR> let b:undo_ftplugin .= ' | nunmap <buffer> <Leader>M' function! s:run_test() let test = expand('%') let line = 'LINE=' . line('.') if test =~ '^lib/' let test = substitute(test, '^lib/', 'test/', '') let line = "" endif execute 'make' 'TEST=' . shellescape(test) line endfunction Now, pressing ‹<Leader>M› will either run all tests for a given class, if the implementation file is active, or run the test at or just before the cursor, if the test file is active. This is useful if you’re currently receiving a lot of errors and/or failures and want to focus on those associated with a specific class or on a specific test. ¹ Find out more about Vim at http://www.vim.org/ § Financing Currently, most of my time is spent at my day job and in my rather busy private life. Please motivate me to spend time on this piece of software by donating some of your money to this project. Yeah, I realize that requesting money to develop software is a bit, well, capitalistic of me. But please realize that I live in a capitalistic society and I need money to have other people give me the things that I need to continue living under the rules of said society.

# Netchk Simple tool to troubleshoot internet connectivity issues. This tool verifies: - your computer has at least one IP address - you have at least one DNS configured - you can reach the configured nameservers - the nameservers can resolve hosts Finally, some ICMP ping statistics are presented with average durations and error rates. ## Installation ```sh gem install netchk ``` ## Usage Just run `netchk` from your terminal and basic diagnosis will start showing you progress and any error if present. Note: On Linux system, this gem requires `sudo` to perform the ICMP ping operations. On macOS, this is not needed. You also can configure how netchk verifies your connections by configuring a `~/.netchk.yaml` or `~/.netchk.yml` file like below. ```yaml # Settings to test DNS server connectivity. dns: # Path to resolv.conf file to check presence and connectivity of DNS. # Path should be absolute to avoid issues when running netchk # from different directories. resolv.conf: /etc/resolv.conf # Settings to test DNS resolution. resolv: # Path to resolv.conf file to use for testing DNS resolution. # Path should be absolute to avoid issues when running netchk # from different directories. It is advised to be the same # as dns.resolv.conf. resolv.conf: /etc/resolv.conf # The list of domains to test for DNS resolution. domains: - google.com - youtube.com - facebook.com # Settings to test icmp ping. icmp: # A list of hosts to ping with ICMP. It is advised to use # IP addresses instead of domains to rule out any issues with # DNS resolution, which is tested separately. hosts: - 1.1.1.1 - 8.8.8.8 # The number of ping to issue each host. count: 20 # The duration in seconds to wait between each ping. # Setting this value too low might cause timeouts. interval: 0.2 ``` Each value is optional. If one is missing the default value will be used. The file above shows the default values. ## Contributing Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/moray95/netchk.
# Excel to Code [](https://travis-ci.org/tamc/excel_to_code) excel_to_c - roughly translate some Excel files into C. excel_to_ruby - roughly translate some Excel files into Ruby. This allows spreadsheets to be: 1. Embedded in other programs, such as web servers, or optimisers 2. Without depending on any Microsoft code For example, running [these commands](examples/simple/compile.sh) turns [this spreadsheet](examples/simple/simple.xlsx) into [this Ruby code](examples/simple/ruby/simple.rb) or [this C code](examples/simple/c/simple.c). # Install Requires Ruby. Install by: gem install excel_to_code # Run To just have a go: excel_to_c <excel_file_name> This will produce a file called excelspreadsheet.c For a more complex spreadsheet: excel_to_c --compile --run-tests --settable <name of input worksheet> --prune-except <name of output worksheet> <excel file name> See the full list of options: excel_to_c --help # Gotchas, limitations and bugs 0. No custom functions, no macros for generating results 1. Results are cached. So you must call reset(), then set values, then read values. 2. It must be possible to replace INDIRECT and OFFSET formula with standard references at compile time (e.g., INDIRECT("A"&"1") is fine, INDIRECT(userInput&"3") is not. 3. Doesn't implement all functions. [See which functions are implemented](docs/Which_functions_are_implemented.md). 4. Doesn't implement references that involve range unions and lists (but does implement standard ranges) 5. Sometimes gives cells as being empty, when excel would give the cell as having a numeric value of zero 6. The generated C version does not multithread and will give bad results if you try. 7. The generated code uses floating point, rather than fully precise arithmetic, so results can differ slightly. 8. The generated code uses the sprintf approach to rounding (even-odd) rather than excel's 0.5 rounds away from zero. 9. Ranges like this: Sheet1!A10:Sheet1!B20 and 3D ranges don't work.

Inventory Inventory keeps track of the contents of your Ruby¹ projects. Such an inventory can be used to load the project, create gem specifications and gems, run unit tests, compile extensions, and verify that the project’s content is what you think it is. ¹ See http://ruby-lang.org/ § Usage Let’s begin by discussing the project structure that Inventory expects you to use. It’s pretty much exactly the same as the standard Ruby project structure¹: ├── README ├── Rakefile ├── lib │ ├── foo-1.0 │ │ ├── bar.rb │ │ └── version.rb │ └── foo-1.0.rb └── test └── unit ├── foo-1.0 │ ├── bar.rb │ └── version.rb └── foo-1.0.rb Here you see a simplified version of a project called “Foo”’s project structure. The only real difference from the standard is that the main entry point into the library is named “foo-1.0.rb” instead of “foo.rb” and that the root sub-directory of “lib” is similarly named “foo-1.0” instead of “foo”. The difference is the inclusion of the API version. This must be the major version of the project followed by a constant “.0”. The reason for this is that it allows concurrent installations of different major versions of the project and means that the wrong version will never accidentally be loaded with require. There’s a bigger difference in the content of the files. ‹Lib/foo-1.0/version.rb› will contain our inventory instead of a String: require 'inventory-1.0' class Foo Version = Foo.new(1, 4, 0){ authors{ author 'A. U. Thor', 'a.u.thor@example.org' } homepage 'http://example.org/' licenses{ license 'LGPLv3+', 'GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3 or later', 'http://www.gnu.org/licenses/' } def dependencies super + Dependencies.new{ development 'baz', 1, 3, 0 runtime 'goo', 2, 0, 0 optional 'roo-loo', 3, 0, 0, :feature => 'roo-loo' } end def package_libs %w[bar.rb] end } end We’re introducing quite a few concepts at once, and we’ll look into each in greater detail, but we begin by setting the ‹Version› constant to a new instance of an Inventory with major, minor, and patch version atoms 1, 4, and 0. Then we add a couple of dependencies and list the library files that are included in this project. The version numbers shouldn’t come as a surprise. These track the version of the API that we’re shipping using {semantic versioning}². They also allow the Inventory#to_s method to act as if you’d defined Version as ‹'1.4.0'›. Next follows information about the authors of the project, the project’s homepage, and the project’s licenses. Each author has a name and an email address. The homepage is simply a string URL. Licenses have an abbreviation, a name, and a URL where the license text can be found. We then extend the definition of ‹dependencies› by adding another set of dependencies to ‹super›. ‹Super› includes a dependency on the version of the inventory project that’s being used with this project, so you’ll never have to list that yourself. The other three dependencies are all of different kinds: development, runtime, and optional. A development dependency is one that’s required while developing the project, for example, a unit-testing framework, a documentation generator, and so on. Runtime dependencies are requirements of the project to be able to run, both during development and when installed. Finally, optional dependencies are runtime dependencies that may or may not be required during execution. The difference between runtime and optional is that the inventory won’t try to automatically load an optional dependency, instead leaving that up to you to do when and if it becomes necessary. By that logic, runtime dependencies will be automatically loaded, which is a good reason for having dependency information available at runtime. The version numbers of dependencies also use semantic versioning, but note that the patch atom is ignored unless the major atom is 0. You should always only depend on the major and minor atoms. As mentioned, runtime dependencies will be automatically loaded and the feature they try to load is based on the name of the dependency with a “-X.0” tacked on the end, where ‘X’ is the major version of the dependency. Sometimes, this isn’t correct, in which case the :feature option may be given to specify the name of the feature. You may also override other parts of a dependency by passing in a block to the dependency, much like we’re doing for inventories. The rest of an inventory will list the various files included in the project. This project only consists of one additional file to those that an inventory automatically include (Rakefile, README, the main entry point, and the version.rb file that defines the inventory itself), namely the library file ‹bar.rb›. Library files will be loaded automatically when the main entry point file loads the inventory. Library files that shouldn’t be loaded may be listed under a different heading, namely “additional_libs”. Both these sets of files will be used to generate a list of unit test files automatically, so each library file will have a corresponding unit test file in the inventory. We’ll discuss the different headings of an inventory in more detail later on. Now that we’ve written our inventory, let’s set it up so that it’s content gets loaded when our main entry point gets loaded. We add the following piece of code to ‹lib/foo-1.0.rb›: module Foo load File.expand_path('../foo-1.0/version.rb', __FILE__) Version.load end That’s all there’s to it. The inventory can also be used to great effect from a Rakefile using a separate project called Inventory-Rake³. Using it’ll give us tasks for cleaning up our project, compiling extensions, installing dependencies, installing and uninstalling the project itself, and creating and pushing distribution files to distribution points. require 'inventory-rake-1.0' load File.expand_path('../lib/foo-1.0/version.rb', __FILE__) Inventory::Rake::Tasks.define Foo::Version Inventory::Rake::Tasks.unless_installing_dependencies do require 'lookout-rake-3.0' Lookout::Rake::Tasks::Test.new end It’s ‹Inventory::Rake::Tasks.define› that does the heavy lifting. It takes our inventory and sets up the tasks mentioned above. As we want to be able to use our Rakefile to install our dependencies for us, the rest of the Rakefile is inside the conditional #unless_installing_dependencies, which, as the name certainly implies, executes its block unless the task being run is the one that installs our dependencies. This becomes relevant when we set up Travis⁴ integration next. The only conditional set-up we do in our Rakefile is creating our test task via Lookout-Rake⁵, which also uses our inventory to find the unit tests to run when executed. Travis integration is straightforward. Simply put before_script: - gem install inventory-rake -v '~> VERSION' --no-rdoc --no-ri - rake gem:deps:install in the project’s ‹.travis.yml› file, replacing ‹VERSION› with the version of Inventory-Rake that you require. This’ll make sure that Travis installs all development, runtime, and optional dependencies that you’ve listed in your inventory before running any tests. You might also need to put env: - RUBYOPT=rubygems in your ‹.travis.yml› file, depending on how things are set up. ¹ Ruby project structure: http://guides.rubygems.org/make-your-own-gem/ ² Semantic versioning: http://semver.org/ ³ Inventory-Rake: http://disu.se/software/inventory-rake-1.0/ ⁴ Travis: http://travis-ci.org/ ⁵ Lookout-Rake: http://disu.se/software/lookout-rake-3.0/ § API If the guide above doesn’t provide you with all the answers you seek, you may refer to the API¹ for more answers. ¹ See http://disu.se/software/inventory-1.0/api/Inventory/ § Financing Currently, most of my time is spent at my day job and in my rather busy private life. Please motivate me to spend time on this piece of software by donating some of your money to this project. Yeah, I realize that requesting money to develop software is a bit, well, capitalistic of me. But please realize that I live in a capitalistic society and I need money to have other people give me the things that I need to continue living under the rules of said society. So, if you feel that this piece of software has helped you out enough to warrant a reward, please PayPal a donation to now@disu.se¹. Thanks! Your support won’t go unnoticed! ¹ Send a donation: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=now@disu.se&item_name=Inventory § Reporting Bugs Please report any bugs that you encounter to the {issue tracker}¹. ¹ See https://github.com/now/inventory/issues § Authors Nikolai Weibull wrote the code, the tests, the documentation, and this README. § Licensing Inventory is free software: you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the {GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3}¹ or later², as published by the {Free Software Foundation}³. ¹ See http://disu.se/licenses/lgpl-3.0/ ² See http://gnu.org/licenses/ ³ See http://fsf.org/
