Running scala as a scripting language
If you ever want to try out scala, or even if you just want to write a quick scripts that utilizes some native java code, the scala interpreter might be a great choice. After you install scala, instead of waiting for your code to compile, just run your code as a script.
#!/bin/sh
exec scala "$0" "$@"
!#
import java.util.ArrayList
object MyScript {
def main(args: Array[String]) {
val a:ArrayList[String] = new ArrayList[String]
// add the arguments
for(arg <- args) a.add(arg)
// add some extra args
a.add("first extra argument")
a.add("second extra argument")
for( e <- a.toArray() ) println("arg: "+e)
}
}
MyScript.main(args)
