That's tremendous! Good luck to you.
The difficult we do right away...

I had to write a WPF sample pp for them...
Took me a lot more than the hours the HR suggested.. (I am rusty hey, no WPF in like 3 years now)
But the end result code is very neat loved it!
Also.. added some async IAsyncEnumerable and IObservable goodness to handle mouse drag in a 10 line method which looks totally procedural and straightforward.. Hopefully they will be both surprised and impressed!

Hi All,
Quick question if someone tells you to knock up a quick script to monitor a thing, you would think 'Hmmm, a Python job', I seem to have to use a thing called 'Script Runner' which seems to have a version of what you need, but not what you want. Is it a company thing or is Script Runner in the wild Before I started at my current place scripts were either Python or TCL. Script Runner seems to be a little out date (won't run on Win10 without issues!). So heard of it? I'll bet Dave Auld has!

I wouldn't think that because then you'd have to install Python runtime, etc.
I'm thinking you're talking about work so I'm guessing your running Win10 and then I would think either:
1) C# via LinqPad[^]
2) PowerShell
But, if you're running on Linux then maybe something else.
Now that DotNet Core can really do nice Console apps on Linux -- things like FileSystemWatcher etc. can be really easy and then I'd go for C# again.
Or, I might even think Go(lang) because it builds an executable with no need for runtime to be installed.
Just My Two Cents
I'm just thinking out loud and I've never heard of ScriptRunner before.

Well I'm sitting there going 'Oh it gives out the data over serial, I can put together a .NET program to read it and display it', 'Thats nice but can you use Script Runner, it's more flexible', Have 'they' been taking something. I have done the whole not using .NET as it's evil in the past, don't want to go down that route again!!

Ah, yes, h/w and serial connection. Now that makes sense that you want to use Python. I'm assuming there are lots of library choices that help over in Python land and .NET def would not be my first choice for that either.

It is for me.

Hmmm, I agree but I have LOTS of experience with the Serial Class and for somethings .NET is the only way.
|
|
|
|
|
I haven't used serial communications in .net very much, but have written a serial port wrapper suitable for use with my CommScript[^] class.
|

Only had a quick look, seems interesting!

Thanks.
It looks like I began writing an article on my SerialCommunicator back in 2010, but I never finished it.

I love LiqPad and use it all the time.
Powershell is the tool to use in most "scripting" scenarios, IMHO.
|
|
|
|
|
Never heard of it, but knowing my management, someone will read a blog about it and announce that it's the next great thing and everyone has to use it.
I'll continue to roll my own as needed, thanks.

As far as I can tell it's HTML with a few add ons <<quake>>

Do I need to actually fill this in? Didn't think so!
But if I need one, here's my continual pet peeve: why does VS randomly change the "Find" (Ctrl+F) or "Find All" (Ctrl+Shift+F) document selection from "current document / entire solution" (respectively for the pressed keyboard shortcut) to "all open documents", "entire solution", or whatever else it thinks is the option of the day based on various planetary conjunctions?

I use that often but have never had it happen. Currently on VS2017. I wonder what explains it.
|
|
|
|
|
I've never noticed that and I use it all the time.

I can reproduce it by scrolling the mouse wheel while positioned over the "Look in:" drop-down menu. Are you using some kind of bizarre input device that allows you to inadvertently do this? 
|
|
|
|
|
Cool! I can do this with my laptop's mousepad, really useful! Never had it happen inadvertently (Ctrl-F seems to remember the previous scope) but this means I can change the scope really easily. Thank you Marc and Greg!

Glad you liked it! I didn't know whether to consider it design intent or a bug.

I don't think there is a difference between the two in Microsoft land.

True story! 
It's also what I tell my boss on lazy days!
