visual studio - VS 2008 C++: How can I copy other files to the output folder? -


in ms visual studio 2008, it's easy copy non-c# files, such xml file, in c# project output folder. add file project, select in solution explorer, select properties, , there's choice named "copy". can choose "do not copy", "copy", , "copy if newer".

but in c++, it's not easy, because there never similar in earlier versions of microsoft's compilers. option have add post-build event old-fashioned dos command line command copy file target path. there's no way know of compare dates on input , target files, if target file exists.

i tried adding files c++ project in same in c# project. options files included custom build step. tried putting copy command in there, didn't work.

is there way don't know same result in c#: nice, clean, easy way specify file copied project folder output folder if newer file in output folder?

thanks much!

in post-build event, use robocopy instead of basic copy command (it more intelligent, can manage file modification dates e.g. robocopy /xo <...>)

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
