Many uses!!!!

Example:
"I LIKE TO SCREAM" becomes "I Like To Scream"
"I LIKE to RUN" remains "I LIKE to RUN".

Have you ever wanted to create a task in your Outlook To-Do list based on an email you just got?? I have many times, so I wrote this script a while back - it will create an Outlook task (syncs with handheld and such) based on the contents of an email - incuding any attachements.

handy to get stuff out of your inbox and on your To-Do list!

I've found it kind of complicated to strip newline chars from a file with just the commandline. This tiny piece of code does just that.

I've found it especially useful when extracting tabulated data from a grabbed site where each cell is on a different html line. This way I can pre-filter the html, remove the newlines, and insert them again at register boundaries (row end in this case), so that with just a couple more replacement from within a regex enabled text editor I can copy&paste it directly to a database.

This snippet illustrates following:

1. Using http request to get the data
2. Parsing RSS feeds
3. Sending email

This perl subroutine uses the CPAN module Mail::Webmail::Gmail to iterate through a Gmail account searching for a particular string. If a match is found, the sender's name along with his/her email address, the subject, and the "blurb" is printed to standard out. Also, all messages found will be archived automatically within Gmail to clear the message from the inbox folder. The subroutine returns the number of messages found back to the calling environment.

Sample invocation: check_email(username, password);

By default, the subroutine will use encryption to connect to Gmail however, by setting encrypt_session to '0' will disable encryption.

This perl function will output to a file of your choosing the current localtime as defined by perl's localtime function. It will output the date in ISO 8601 date format plus the current localtime such as:
2006-08-21 09:26:35 am
The function also returns the localtime without the date to the calling environment.

PHP function to validate an email address.

Here's a simple JavaScript solution to hide your e-mail from many spam scripts while still providing clickable hyperlinks to your visitors.

Web crawlers and visitors with JavaScript disabled will see: me [at] mydomain [dot] com. I've seen a lot of people that just leave it at this, but it seems a bit unprofessional in my opinion. With the following code, we can replace that with a fully functional hyperlink.

This is a faily simple function to validate a URL being passed into your scripts. It will allow for http, https, and ftp. The beginning www. of a URL is optional as well. It will also validate if you have an IP address in place of the domain name. I'm sure this can be improved upon as this is my first attempt at regular expressions but it has worked good for me so far. Please comment or improve if your able.

Thanks!
