Google launched another new service this morning, this time to enable software developers to find snippets of public source code that they may integrate into their own projects. But with source code more algebraic than linguistic, is Google's ubiquitous query line the right tool for the job?

Just been doing some heavy translation from German to English. Which lead to writing a simple command line tool for translating via Google - waste time to save time in other words. Getting a prototype up from scratch took about 15 minutes (which sheds a light on blog spam I guess). Have cleaned it up a bit and dropping it here in case anyone can use it.

(InfoWorld) - Google has updated its Google Code Search site for finding publicly available source code, adding greater coverage and improvements in ranking and access. Launched in October 2006, Google Code Search enables developers to locate source code on the Web, searching through billions of lines of code. "Today we made some updates to Code Search that will hopefully make it even easier to find the code you're looking for," said Google software engineer Aleksander Fedorynski in a blog entry Thursday about the improvements. Coverage capabilities now include indexing of individual files and code snippets from all over the Web, Google said. Previously, only complete archives, such as .zip,.tar, and repositories, including CVS and Subversion, were indexed. To improve ranking, Google has amended Code Search so class and method definitions now appear closer to the top of search results for certain queries. Also, users now can access Code Search through several international domains, including Brazil, China, France, and Russia. Right after the launch, Google's Code Search was criticized as a potential resource for hackers looking to find bugs, password information, and proprietary code.

Krugle aspires to be the Google of software code search, even referring to itself as a verb. And recently, Krugle has started to become the go-to search site for open-source developers, partnering with key websites, including SourceForge.net, the leading repository for open-source software projects, to embed Krugle search. Krugle also announced a similar partnership with CollabNet, a community of 1 million developers.

Sometimes, it's just not enough to sit and try to teach theory about something in programming - it's better to just jump right in and take things as they come. That's what Harry Fuecks thinks, at least in his latest post on the SitePoint PHP Blog - a look at the "Joy of Regular Expressions".   He does go over a bit of the theory and why they are so invaluable, but it's a short section before he gets to the heart of the article - working with regular expressions for:  positive matching matching all instances in a given string finding an exact match matching the start of a string validation of the contents of a string checking the length of a string  There's simple examples included for each of the items to help you get an idea of how they'd work.
