I've found several ways to automate folder comparison using scripts in Beyond Compare, but none that produce the pretty html report created from Session>Folder Compare Report>View in browser.
Here is an example of what that looks like.
I would love to be able to find the script that gives me that html difference report.
Thanks!
This is what I am currently getting
load "C:\Users\UIDQ5763\Desktop\Enviornment.cpp" &
"C:\Users\UIDQ5763\Desktop\GreetingsConsoleApp"
folder-report layout:side-by-side options:display-all &
output-to:C:\Users\UIDQ5763\Report.html output-options:html-color
The documentation for Beyond Compare's scripting language is here. You were probably missing either layout:side-by-side, which gives the general display, or output-options:html-color which is required to get the correct HTML stylized output. You may want to change options:display-all to options:display-mismatches if you only want to see the differences, and you might want to add an expand all command immediately before the folder-report line if you want to see the subfolders recursively.'
The & characters shown in the sample are line continuation characters. Remove them if you don't need to wrap your lines.

Thanks for making papaja. It's really terrific!
I just submitted my first journal article using it and ran into problems. The layout staff don't know what to do with the code chunks and listings that are fine in single-column, full page format, but not in their 2-column format. I'm trying use the class 'jou' option to make 2 columns, but I can't figure out how to control the size of code and listing fonts (possibly by modifying the css, as recommended here), or how to using the latex package 'listings' to set listings to wrap (as recommended here).
I'd be grateful for any advice, and my apologies if I've missed how one might do this in the documentation.
If it's only about getting the listings package to work, you can modify the YAML header that it looks similar to the following:
documentclass : "apa6"
classoption : "jou"
output :
papaja::apa6_pdf:
pandoc_args: --listings
header-includes:
- \lstset{breaklines=true}
However, note that using automatic line breaks will most likely break the code at some points. Therefore, it is worthwhile to consider alternatives: For instance, you could try to use a code style that uses more line breaks. The styler package and add-in might be helpful accomplishing this: https://styler.r-lib.org/
I have an XML file with the following structure;
<JobList>
<Job><subnodes/></Job>
<Job><subnodes/></Job>
</JobList>
This xml can be broken sometimes leaving a missing ending of <JobList> and missing end of </Job>.
I would like to be able to extract the <Job> nodes with full content on those that are closed with </Job>. What is the best way to do this?
To make a long story short I am using .NET and built in serializers for deserializing xml content. But since new properties are added you cannot just go back and forth between different versions as it is to strict. Mostly it works, but I would like to have a backup recovery method for this - hence the question.
The current situation is that the deserializer "crashes" the whole deserializing when a new property has been added instead of ignoring it. I am looking to manually parse it on error.
As mentioned on the comments, the ideal would be to make the xml valid, if for whatever reason that is not possible, the workaround is parsing the file as text with a regex.
A general regex for this case could be something like:
<Job>((?!<Job>).)*</Job>$
this will bring anything between a complete pair
Please notice that this will also return nodes with 'broken' inner nodes, but according to your question you are only concerned about missing and tags.
Is there anyway to rename the "Source" button to something like "HTML", I ask this as users are confused at how to add html code using the editor?
Yes, inside of the "lang" folder you will see all of the various language files.
For my case, and probably yours, You will want to edit the file "en.js". The file is "compressed" to some degree so it may be difficult to read, but it's still not too difficult to change one string. If you do plan on changing multiple strings you will most likely want to use a service to format Javascript.
Search for the following segment of code. It was one of the very last lines in the file.
"sourcearea":{"toolbar":"Source"}
change it to
"sourcearea":{"toolbar":"HTML"}
Avoid This Method Unless Required
And as for a very unsuggested method, since you can't modify the language files for some reason, you can modify the ckeditor.js file and force a specific label.
Inside of "ckeditor.js" change the line below
a.ui.addButton("Source",{label:a.lang.sourcearea.toolbar,command:"source",toolbar:"mode,10"});
to the follow code
a.ui.addButton("Source",{label:"HTML",command:"source",toolbar:"mode,10"});
The only thing modified is the "label" value in the above line. We remove the reference to the a.language.sourcearea.toolbar and insert a string in it's place instead.
I have been working with Coldfusion 9 lately (background in PHP primarily) and I am scratching my head trying to figure out how to 'clean/sanitize' input / string that is user submitted.
I want to make it HTMLSAFE, eliminate any javascript, or SQL query injection, the usual.
I am hoping I've overlooked some kind of function that already comes with CF9.
Can someone point me in the proper direction?
Well, for SQL injection, you want to use CFQUERYPARAM.
As for sanitizing the input for XSS and the like, you can use the ScriptProtect attribute in CFAPPLICATION, though I've heard that doesn't work flawlessly. You could look at Portcullis or similar 3rd-party CFCs for better script protection if you prefer.
This an addition to Kyle's suggestions not an alternative answer, but the comments panel is a bit rubbish for links.
Take a look a the ColdFusion string functions. You've got HTMLCodeFormat, HTMLEditFormat, JSStringFormat and URLEncodedFormat. All of which can help you with working with content posted from a form.
You can also try to use the regex functions to remove HTML tags, but its never a precise science. This ColdFusion based regex/html question should help there a bit.
You can also try to protect yourself from bots and known spammers using something like cfformprotect, which integrates Project Honeypot and Akismet protection amongst other tools into your forms.
You've got several options:
"Global Script Protection" Administrator setting, which applies a regular expression against post and get (i.e. FORM and URL) variables to strip out <script/>, <img/> and several other tags
Use isValid() to validate variables' data types (see my in depth answer on this one).
<cfqueryparam/>, which serves to create SQL bind parameters and validate the datatype passed to it.
That noted, if you are really trying to sanitize HTML, use Java, which ColdFusion can access natively. In particular use the OWASP AntiSamy Project, which takes an HTML fragment and whitelists what values can be part of it. This is the same approach that sites like SO and slashdot.org use to protect submissions and is a more secure approach to accepting markup content.
Sanitation of strings in coldfusion and in quite any language is very important and depends on what you want to do with the string. most mitigations are for
saving content to database (e.g. <cfqueryparam ...>)
using content to show on next page (e.g. put url-parameter in link or show url-parameter in text)
saving files and using upload filenames and content
There is always a risk if you follow the idea to prevent and reduce a string by allow basically everything in the first step and then sanitize malicious code "away" by deleting or replacing characters (blacklist approach).
The better solution is to replace strings with rereplace(...) agains regular expressions that explicitly allow only the characters needed for the scenario you use it as an easy solution, whenever this is possible. use cases are inputs for numbers, lists, email-addresses, urls, names, zip, cities, etc.
For example if you want to ask for a email-address, you could use
<cfif reFindNoCase("^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+#[A-Z0-9.-]+\.(?:[A-Z]{5})$", stringtosanitize)>...ok, clean...<cfelse>...not ok...</cfif>
(or an own regex).
For HTML-Imput or CSS-Imput I would also recommend OWASP Java HTML Sanitizer Project.
My data coming from the database might contain some html. If I use
string dataFromDb = "Some text<br />some more <br><ul><li>item 1</li></ul>";
HttpContext.Current.Server.HtmlEncode(dateFromDb);
Then everything gets encoded and I see the safe Html on the screen.
However, I want to be able to execute the safe html as noted in the dataFromDb above.
I think I am trying to create white list to check against.
How do I go about doing this?
Is there some Regex already out there that can do this?
Check out this article the AntiXSS library is also worth a look
You should use the Microsoft AntiXSS library. I believe the latest version is available here. Specifically, you'll want to use the GetSafeHtmlFragment method.
