This script adds all files in the current directory to ClearCase.

Save the following script as add_recursively.rb in the directory you want to add to ClearCase:

   1  %x{cleartool ls -view_only -r -s . > view_private_files.txt}
   2  
   3  lines = File.open('view_private_files.txt').readlines.collect{|line| %Q{"#{line.chomp}"} }
   4  
   5  # Work around command line length limit in Windows
   6  while lines.size > 0
   7    %x{cleardlg /addtosrc #{lines.slice!(0..100).join(' ')}}
   8  end

Next open a command line window and execute the script:

   1  cd clearcase_vob
   2  ruby add_recursively.rb

ClearCase sucks, use Mercurial or git instead…

Helpful when you need to find a class or package in some jar file recursively below the current directory. Still needs a test to see if the file found was a file or directory. Works case insensitively. Uses the unzip command because of it’s performance superiority in comparison to jar.

   1  #!/bin/sh
   2  for f in `find . -type f -name '*\.jar'`
   3  do
   4          unzip -l $f | grep -i $1 && echo "was found in $f"
   5  done
