/**
* @param unsortedRecords The array that needs to be sorted. This array must be in the typical
* format that our arrays are in after retrieving database data (i.e. array of records).
* @param sortKeys The record keys that we'll be sorting on.
* If this is an array, multi-column sorting will be done.
* @param sortDirections The direction to sort the columns.
* If this is an array, it should match up with the sort_keys array.
* @param sortTypes The type of sorting that should be done (SORT_NUMERIC, SORT_STRING, etc. )
* If this is an array, it should match up with the sort_keys array.
* @example To sort records by 'last_name' in descending order:

allthingscode / Find Duplicate Files
Created January 28, 2011 21:47
This script identifies duplicate files using their md5sum hash value.

# create a hash table and look up items
#
# This script identifies duplicate files using their md5sum hash value.
# This can be done much easier in a language that supports hash lists such as PERL. I have done it in a shell script as both a proof-of-concept
# and to demonstrate the basic concept of storing/retrieving hash values and dealing with collisions.

allthingscode / Egrep to Vim
Created January 28, 2011 21:46
This script is an exact alias to egrep except that instead of printing out the files, it opens them in VIM sequentially.
#!/bin/bash
#
shopt -s -o nounset # Option Explicit
# =============================================================================
for ITEM in `egrep -l $* 2> /dev/null | sed -e 's/ /[SPACE]/g'` ; do
# unescape spaces
declare FILEPATH
FILEPATH=`echo $ITEM | sed -e 's/\[SPACE\]/ /g' -e 's/\n//g'`

allthingscode / Disk Usage
Created January 28, 2011 21:45
This simply prints out the number of files and amount of space they are taking up. This can be useful for determining what is eating up all your hard-drive space.
#!/bin/bash
#
#
printf "%s %s %s\n" "There are `find "$1" -type f | wc -l` regular files" \
"taking up `du -sh "$1"|awk '{print $1}'` space" \
"in folder "$1""
exit 0

allthingscode / Detect Samba Locks
Created January 28, 2011 21:44
Sometimes it can be frustrating when you need to delete/rename/move a file via a samba file share, but you can't because it's locked by someone else. This script attempts to look up the IP address of all samba users that are currently using the file. S

This script compares the record counts for 2 different mysql servers and creates a CSV report with the differences. This is useful for verifying that a master and slave server are the same. This does not verify the actual data at the 2 servers, it just co

# Create/Upack Tar File
tar -cvf dir.tar dir/
tar -xvf dir.tar
# Create/Uncompress Tar.gz File
tar -cvzf dirs.tar.gz ./dir1 ./dir2
