JLog 2 CSV

This converts ALMA JLog XML files to CSV-4180 format (as used in Excel).
Download the JLog2Csv jar file, and run

java -jar JLog2Csv  <filename>

The tool writes progress messages to STDERR, while the resulting CSV goes to STDOUT.

scp vs bashrc

Prepend this to .bashrc to make scp work. It suppresses echoing to stdout in scp shells.

# disable echo when running for scp
if [ -z "$PS1" ] ; then
function echo { 
   while [ "$1" ] ; do
      shift
   done
}
fi

any shell

A polyglot script that runs on both Windows and Linux.

@goto windows \
2>/dev/null

   echo "Running on Linux/MacOS"
   [... more bash commands here ...]

exit 0
:windows

   @echo Running on Windows
   [... more DOS commands here ...]

If the script should be double-clickable from the Explorer, it needs an extension that Windows recognizes, e.g. ".cmd"
If you don't give it any file extension, it should still run perfectly from the DOS shell.
To run it in bash, it just needs the executable flag(s) set.

make alias

This alias takes the pain of DOS-formatted Makefiles away.

alias make='if [ `file Makefile | grep -c CRLF` != 0 ] ; then echo "Makefile contains CRLF, converting." ; dos2unix --quiet Makefile ; chmod 775 Makefile ; fi ; make'
