Clear Cache with the matrix

This is a program I pieced together at work one
 afternoon.We start off with two batch files, mikey.bat and
 mike.bat as you can see here.

The purpose of this program is just to show a cool effect of making me seem like a computer whiz on my calls, not that im not one already :)

So one thing I commonly do when troubleshooting these computers is to clear cache in cmd prompt. To automate the process I create a batch file that performs all the commands for me.

ipconfig /flushdns

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.Cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 4351
javaws -Xclearcache
javaws -uninstall

Above is the bare bones batch file. To add some splunk to it I thought itd be cool to make it look like the matrix is running when I run the file. So in discovering how we ought to go about doing this let's start off with how do we make it look like the matrix?


To do that we start off with this batch file mike.bat




mike.bat will loop the matix file making it look like so...



Next we need to figure out how to implement the clear cache batch file into the matrix loop. To do that we use mikey.bat as can been seen below...




Nice! now we are ready to run the processes. When you run mikey.bat it lauches the matrix batch and runs the clear cache commands at the same time. After the commands have ran, a timer starts after which command prompt closes and you have succeeded in amazing the client with your savvy computer skills!

Sort An Array Using Collections

Collections aren't just when just you've defaulted on your credit cards. Collections can also be used in Java to sort an array as in the following example.

Switch Demo Fall Through Dot Java

Following program builds an array of all the months and reads outs just a part of the whole array excluding certain months in the beginning.
