Head And Shoulders Pattern

A technical analysis term used to describe a chart formation in which a stock's price: 1. Rises to a peak and subsequently declines. 2. Then, the price rises above the former peak and again declines. 3. And finally, rises again, but not to the second peak, and declines once more. The first and third peaks are shoulders, and the second peak forms the head.

Back to Pengerang

A nice short break over the weekends from Fri till Sun. Took a day off and manage to get across the causeway without much hassle as the traffic has not build up yet. Kids really enjoy as their cousins were back too to have company.

Back to Singapore was not too bad, just an hour jam in Malaysia custom. Thank god.

kupprdp: worker process DW04 started with worker id=4

This occurs when one is doing a full export using Oracle 10g datapump expdp.

At the backend it actually creates a master table with MAXTRANS 30 which is obsolete in Oracle 10g.

Error can be ignored and have to check with metalink

Rename files using Perl expression

A wonderful solution posted. It help me for renaming files in Windows.

You see, I do some photos downloading from camera and usually the software will takes care and help rename the files automatically.

However there are times that I am stuck and need to rename these files in a batch. I do not have to do it individually (100+ or 1000+ files if not)

Glad that we have a solution here by Perl.

Taken from URL above. Cheers.

#!c:\perl\bin\perl
#
# Usage: rename perlexpr [files]
use File::Glob qw(:glob);


($regexp = shift @ARGV) || die "Usage: rename perlexpr [filenames]\n";

if (!@ARGV) {
@ARGV = ;
chomp(@ARGV);
}


foreach $_ (bsd_glob(@ARGV, GLOB_NOCASE)) {
$old_name = $_;
eval $regexp;
die $@ if $@;
rename($old_name, $_) unless $old_name eq $_;
}

exit(0);
