Simplifying Java: How to Count the Number of Words in a String using Java (one-liner)

Java is a language of choice for millions of developers worldwide. In a series of articles I will show simple tips and techniques which make Java extremely powerful and yet simple to use. Today's article is about using regex, a pattern matcher incorporated in Java (from 1.4 I believe).

Here is a sample code (line in bold) to count the number of words in any amount of text. The sample program counts the number of words in the argument to the program. The argument must be quoted to ensure separate words are clubbed together in a single sentence by the operating system.

public class WordCount {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    System.out.println(java.util.regex.Pattern.compile("[\\w]+").split(args[0].trim()).length);
  }
}

Open Source is Free Like a Puppy is Free

There are long term costs and hassles, and occasional cleanup jobs. I have always enjoyed Scott McNealy's knack for analogies, and this one is really right on. As I have stated in previous occasions, the fact that it's open source, thus free does not automatically make it good. I'm not going to rehash on all the arguments about open source, but focus specifically on this comment from McNealy."

BIRT wow!. Finally, Java reports made easy [Martin Perez's Weblog]

Wow. Today I was adventurous, and I said to myself: "Let's try birt, even that there is no much tutorials and samples available - I only found these screencasts, but I haven't seen them yet.

I downloaded all the packages, and first of all tried to launch the demos, but with few results. Well, not at all, the charting demos goes fine. They throw several exceptions, but most of the samples worked. Here are some screenshots (click on them to enlarge!).

Next, I started Eclipse. I switched to Report perspective, and created a new report. That's good, you can visually design your reports. There is a component palette and a properties view to configure your components. So I added a simple text label.

Next, I went to the data menu and configured a JDBC source. That's great. You can browse through your tables, columns, filter the data, create computable columns, use javascript functions. It seems very powerful! I created a database set with a tabla that was in the database sample (embedded derby database). There is a Data Explorer view, that allow you to see those generated datasets.

But now comes the best part. I created a data widget on the report, and then I drag my database and dropped it directly on the widget. And Birt automatically updated the data and created a grid with the database contents!

And to end, I lanuched a preview in PDF, and BIRT automatically opened acrobat. Well, the preview isn't very beautiful, but I didn't care about formatting. It's only a test.

And all these tasks only took about two minutes! Finally, it seems that there is a very productive Open Soruce reporting environment in Java. I don't agree with the BIRT name, because I don't see business intelligence features anyway, but I have to recognize that it seems a powerful and easy engine.

Death to Apache [The BileBlog] So our Apache heros have now decided that it isn't quite enough to prove to the world that they are abysmal failures at producing a J2EE container, they must now further prove their incompetence by attempting to produce a J2SE implementation too.

Where does one begin? These guys have not only lost the plot, they've also moved on to a different plane of reality altogether. It's astounding to me the free time that these wankstains have. They are the pinnacle of open source, the ultimate proof that in a system where nothing is driven by economic, practical, or realistic goals, in an environment where time is always worthless, every fool and his penis will waggle every which way, simply because it's physically possible to do so.

Microsoft provides more legal protection than Linux?

2005-02-12T19:44:00.000+05:30

Microsoft heralds study on customer legal protections | CNET News.com: "Microsoft is touting a new study that points out that the software maker offers customers more legal protection against intellectual-property claims than that given by open-source rivals."

I wonder how that will stack up when your corporate computer gets hacked to oblivion.
Looks like MS is getting desperate by the day. You have to give it to them that they know how to spread FUD, the best that ever was. Who says they aren't innovative?

Security hole in anti-virus product F-Secure, what next?

It is good to know that from now you cannot even trust your anti-virus vendor with the security of its own products.

Didn't they hear about third party auditing?

The vulnerability could enable intruders to spy on confidential company information, ISS said in its advisory. It noted that several large vendors and Internet security providers use the antivirus library in their products.
