I was seriously considering buying a $250 used pda to hack/install an alpha version of a linux distro. Then I found your site, and discovered that all I needed was my existing Dell Axim X5 and your instructions to put ruby on it. And it works! Huzzah! Thanks a whole lot. Wow.

You’re right: a scripting language is definitely the way to go for these quick and dirty utilities. I’m just digging into Ruby, so I thought I’d try a rewrite of this util.

Thanks for the comment!

Besides that, you could have used LineNumberReader to make your Java code more concise and readable. Having said that my preference is to use a scripting language for developing such handy scripts (just like you) cause it takes less time to DO THE THING, especially in Linux (and OSX and Solaris and BSD and whatever but Windoze :-) AnonymousJoward ;-) Your Java code is checking for the length of the command-line arguments whereas your Ruby script doesn’t.
