			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last days had some trouble with space characters used in file names and the consequences of passing parameters using those file names to Linux programs.<br />
Consider the following example:<br />
test1.sh:<br />
<code>cmdline="-DMyTest=\"1 2 3\" -some \"./Arguments.test\" -testpath=\"/my test\" \"my test\""<br />
echo ----------------------------------------------<br />
./test2.sh $cmdline<br />
echo ----------------------------------------------<br />
./test2.sh -DMyTest="1 2 3" -some "./Arguments.test" -testpath="/my  test" "my test"</code></p>
<p>test2.sh:<br />
<code>echo Using '"$@"';<br />
for p in "$@";<br />
do<br />
    echo "[$p]";<br />
done</code></p>
<p>Calling test1.sh, the result is:<br />
<code>----------------------------------------------<br />
Using "$@"<br />
[-DMyTest="1]<br />
[2]<br />
[3"]<br />
[-some]<br />
["./Arguments.test"]<br />
[-testpath="/my]<br />
[test"]<br />
["my]<br />
[test"]<br />
----------------------------------------------<br />
Using "$@"<br />
[-DMyTest=1 2 3]<br />
[-some]<br />
[./Arguments.test]<br />
[-testpath=/my  test]<br />
[my test]</code></p>
<p>- where the first part is an issue as it does not read my arguments as expected.<br />
The solution was very simple, in the first call use<br />
<code>eval ./test2.sh $cmdline</code><br />
instead. Although the solution is really simple, it was difficult to Google anything useful thus this post.<br />
Finally found a hint in <a href="http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/bash-preserving-whitespace-using-set-and-eval">http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/bash-preserving-whitespace-using-set-and-eval</a></p>
<p>P.S. If you need to call a Linux shell command using Java &#8211; Runtime.exec() method, use an array as the input and DON&#8217;T try to wrap every argument in spaces. It works on Windows but not Linux.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If anyone has trouble with the awful Prima PDF reader (it&#8217;s incredibly slow), just locate the PDF file from the program files entry of the guide. It is open-password protected. Fortunately, for now they use 40-bit encryption, which is no problem for<br />
&#8220;Advanced PDF Password Recovery v5 0 Pro DOA rar&#8221;<br />
Pass key found in ~12 hours of processing on my PC. Enterprise version of the soft could do it in some minutes, ElcomSoft <a href="http://www.elcomsoft.com/apdfpr.html">claims</a>.</p>
<p>Btw. &#8211; the developers/sellers of the password recovery programs maybe should rethink their selling model. Now they try to sell a program that does crack passwords, for a relatively high price (price range 49eur &#8211; 399eur for this particular product). As most users (like myself) need to crack just 1 document, or some documents at most, it would be nice to have an option that cracks a password/key for a given document, for a smaller price (5 euros or so). I mean they can now use cloud computing solutions like <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/">Amazon EC2</a><br />
The only problem with the model is that password protected documents are usually sensitive &#8211; which was not the case here.</p>
