Hi, I am curious to see what scripting languages is every one using for common tasks and small programs? I use python for all kinds of stuff since it's easy to write new python scripts and run them. For example I used python when learning math, calculating and displaying list of coordinates for a circle, uploading files based on filters to FTP, doing some networking tests and whatever. So what do you use, any linux bash scripters? ------------------ [VoHW] (Help needed) [Blog] - Truedisciple (mp3) |

I used to just write small VB apps, but now I just write small C# apps and put all of my code in a button's clicked handler. I'm just about always on Windows, and haven't bothered to set up Perl or Python very well on it yet. |

I make batch files from time to time. I don't let myself use bash scripts, because i think i will learn to use the various shells faster if i type everything out. ------------------ |

MSH baby , all the way.. though some python too, particularly when it comes with writing code to backup, synronise ,version control and share files through gmail.. but MSH.. it just rocks.. ------------------ |

Well, heres my 2 cents; Where I work now, we use Lua or Python and XML. Started using C# once we got |

seven7, you should try MSH, its like a more dynamic C# , as its totally dotnet 2.0 ------------------ |

Oh lua, that's interesting language, I have used it in game modding. It's very C/C++ like isnt it? Too bad the MSH is for windows only, because it's important for me to write cross platform scripts. And that's because I don't want to be stuck on one OS. ------------------ [VoHW] (Help needed) [Blog] - Truedisciple (mp3) |

I should back up and say we use Lex and Yacc. With these two utilities you can design and build your own scripting language and/or your own compiler from scratch. We generally stay with the more contemporary languages since they are more dependable. I don't know 'MSH' and I really don't have a use for scripting languages outside of work, other than XML. MSH...we'll have to see how it evolves.

yeah Lua is great for some stuff, as a simple and fast embedded script.. i used when adding scriptable features to visual jockey. http://www.visualjockey.com ------------------ |
