Why is my emacs barking (noise at the end of file)? - debugging

I'm fairly certain this was self-inflicted but I cannot for the life of me remember how.
Every time I hit the end of a buffer in emacs and press C-n emacs barks like a dog. I think the bark is probably a custom sound file somewhere made to replace the bell noise that's there by default. I don't know where the sound file or the configuration setting are, though.
Here is the only configuration file I have:
init.el
;; Added by Package.el. This must come before configurations of
;; installed packages. Don't delete this line. If you don't want it,
;; just comment it out by adding a semicolon to the start of the line.
;; You may delete these explanatory comments.
(package-initialize)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(gdb-many-windows t)

(custom-set-faces

I have two questions about this problem:
How do I disable this "feature"?
Where is emacs storing the configuration for this if not in init.el?

Most likely the sound is set somewhere in your OS as an alarm default.
Here's a great resource for further customizing whether and how the alarm triggers:

To turn it off completely: (setq ring-bell-function 'ignore)

Need to extend elisp function

All,
I must suck at eLisp. Banged this first function out in no time.
(defun sort-lines-reverse (beg end)
"sort lines in reverse order"
(interactive
(if (use-region-p)
(list (region-beginning) (region-end))
(list (point-min) (point-max))))
(if (and beg end)
(sort-lines 1 beg end))
)
works perfectly. Hosed this next one
(defun sort-numeric-fields-reverse (field beg end)
"sort numeric fields in reverse order"
(interactive
(if (use-region-p)
(list (read-number "Field number: " 1) (region-beginning) (region-end))
(list (read-number "Field number: " 1) (point-min) (point-max)))
(message "calling if")
(if (and beg end)
((message "inside if")
(sort-numeric-fields field beg end)
(reverse-region beg end))
)
))
No runs no hits no errors. Don't see a single message displayed in messages. I do get my field number prompt.

Adding insult to injury in my KDE Neon environment the C-M-x to bring up the lisp debugger doesn't do squat.
The only real difference between these two functions is in this one I have to prompt for a field number. Inside the if I run 2 functions instead of one. After getting the first one to work the second should have been a cakewalk.
Help would be appreciated.
Two issues:
missing ) at the end of interactive, after (if (use-region-p) ...
missing progn in (if (and beg end)...
(progn is superfluous because if has been replaced by when.)
Corrected version:
(defun sort-numeric-fields-reverse (field beg end)
"sort numeric fields in reverse order"
(interactive
(if (use-region-p)
(list (read-number "Field number: " 1) (region-beginning) (region-end))
(list (read-number "Field number: " 1) (point-min) (point-max))))
(message "calling if")
(when (and beg end)
(message "inside if")
(sort-numeric-fields field beg end)
(reverse-region beg end)))
EDIT: Code changed: if-progn replaced with when according to hint from #phils.
Hint: using an adequate editor makes the typing easy and gives you control over parentheses.

Trailing backslash error web-mode content type

I get this error when trying to set content type in web-mode: File mode specification error: (invalid-regexp Trailing backslash)
I have had a hard time debugging this. I'm very new to emacs so I need some help setting web-mode. I have been following the documentation in web-mode.org but it has been difficult to decypher. Thanks.
(use-package
web-mode
:defer 2
:ensure t
:mode ("\\.html?\\"
"\\.hbs$\\"
"\\.vue$\\"
"\\.css?\\"
"components/.*\\.js[x]?\\'"
"containers/.*\\.js[x]?\\'")
:config (progn
(setq web-mode-enable-auto-closing t
web-mode-enable-auto-opening t
web-mode-enable-auto-pairing t

("vue" . (ac-source-words-in-buffer ac-source-abbrev))
("html" . (ac-source-words-in-buffer ac-source-abbrev)))
web-mode-content-types-alist
'(("jsx" . "components/.*\\.js[x]?\\'")
("jsx" . "containers/.*\\.js[x]?\\'")))))
;; usually I set them in containers/ or components/ directorie
;; and to keep seperate from plain JS
;; adjust indents for web-mode to 2 spaces
(defun my-web-mode-hook ()

;;; http://web-mode.org/
(setq web-mode-markup-indent-offset 2)
(setq web-mode-css-indent-offset 2)
(setq web-mode-code-indent-offset 2))
(add-hook 'web-mode-hook 'my-web-mode-hook)
In the list of regexps after :mode, make sure that they all end with \\'. Currently two of them do, but four of them lost the final ' character.
:mode ("\\.html?\\'"
"\\.hbs$\\'"
"\\.vue$\\'"
"\\.css?\\'"
"components/.*\\.js[x]?\\'"
"containers/.*\\.js[x]?\\'")
\' is a special regexp construct that "matches the empty string, but only at the end of the buffer or string being matched against".

Clojure.core source: Why ~# (unquote-splicing operator) with a quoted double list inside, instead of ~ (unquote operator)

Preamble
I was looking throught the source code in clojure.core for no particular reason.
I started reading defmacro ns, here is the abridged source:
(defmacro ns
"...docstring..."
{:arglists '([name docstring? attr-map? references*])
:added "1.0"}
[name & references]
(let [...
; Argument processing here.
name-metadata (meta name)]
`(do
(clojure.core/in-ns '~name)
~#(when name-metadata
`((.resetMeta (clojure.lang.Namespace/find '~name) ~name-metadata)))
(with-loading-context
~#(when gen-class-call (list gen-class-call))
~#(when (and (not= name 'clojure.core) (not-any? #(= :refer-clojure (first %)) references))
`((clojure.core/refer '~'clojure.core)))
~#(map process-reference references))
(if (.equals '~name 'clojure.core)
nil
(do (dosync (commute ##'*loaded-libs* conj '~name)) nil)))))
Looking Closer
And then trying to read it I saw some strange macro patterns, in particular we can look at:
~#(when name-metadata
`((.resetMeta (clojure.lang.Namespace/find '~name) ~name-metadata)))
The clojure.core version
Here is a standalone working extraction from the macro:
(let [name-metadata 'name-metadata
name 'name]
`(do
~#(when name-metadata
`((.resetMeta (clojure.lang.Namespace/find '~name) ~name-metadata)))))
=> (do (.resetMeta (clojure.lang.Namespace/find (quote name)) name-metadata))
When I ran this could I couldn't help but wonder why there is a double list at the point `((.resetMeta.
My version
I found that by just removing the unquote-splicing (~#) the double list was unnecessary. Here is a working standalone example:
(let [name-metadata 'name-metadata
name 'name]
`(do
~(when name-metadata
`(.resetMeta (clojure.lang.Namespace/find '~name) ~name-metadata))))
=> (do (.resetMeta (clojure.lang.Namespace/find (quote name)) name-metadata))
My Question
Thus, why does clojure.core choose this seemingly extraneous way of doing things?
My Own Thoughts
Is this an artifact of convention?
Are there other similar instances where this is used in more complex ways?
~ always emits a form; ~# can potentially emit nothing at all. Thus sometimes one uses ~# to splice in a single expression conditionally:
;; always yields the form (foo x)
;; (with x replaced with its macro-expansion-time value):
`(foo ~x)`
;; results in (foo) is x is nil, (foo x) otherwise:
`(foo ~#(if x [x]))
That's what's going on here: the (.resetMeta …) call is emitted within the do form that ns expands to only if name-metadata is truthy (non-false, non-nil).
In this instance, it doesn't really matter – one could use ~, drop the extra brackets and accept that the macroexpansion of an ns form with no name metadata would have an extra nil in the do form. For the sake of a prettier expansion, though, it makes sense to use ~# and only emit a form to handle name metadata when it is actually useful.

AutoCAD 2013 - Error: ARXLOAD failed

Can anyone help me with this?
I have read at some places that there something changed in the arx loading ...
The ARX module will need to be rebuilt with the ObjectARX 2013 SDK for use in AutoCAD 2013.
Download ObjectARX 2013 : http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=785550 and rebuild your solution using the 2013 SDK.
Here is the ObjectARX Wizard for AutoCAD 2013 and MSVC 2010 : http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=785550
Hope it helped.

Extracting URLs from an Emacs buffer?

How can I write an Emacs Lisp function to find all hrefs in an HTML file and extract all of the links?
Input:
<html>
<a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com" _target="_blank">StackOverFlow&lt/a>
<h1>Emacs Lisp</h1>

I've seen the re-search-forward function mentioned several times during my search. Here's what I think that I need to do based on what I've read so far.
(defun extra-urls (file)
...
(setq buffer (...
(while
(re-search-forward "http://" nil t)
(when (match-string 0)
...
))
I took Heinzi's solution and came up with the final solution that I needed. I can now take a list of files, extract all URL's and titles, and place the results in one output buffer.
(defun extract-urls (fname)
"Extract HTML href url's,titles to buffer 'new-urls.csv' in | separated format."
(setq in-buf (set-buffer (find-file fname))); Save for clean up
(beginning-of-buffer); Need to do this in case the buffer is already open
(setq u1 '())
(while
(re-search-forward "^.*<a href=\"\\([^\"]+\\)\"[^>]+>\\([^<]+\\)</a>" nil t)
(when (match-string 0) ; Got a match
(setq url (match-string 1) ) ; URL
(setq title (match-string 2) ) ; Title
(setq u1 (cons (concat url "|" title "\n") u1)) ; Build the list of URLs
)
)
(kill-buffer in-buf) ; Don't leave a mess of buffers
(progn
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "new-urls.csv"); Send results to new buffer
(mapcar 'insert u1))
(switch-to-buffer "new-urls.csv"); Finally, show the new buffer
)
)
;; Create a list of files to process
;;
(mapcar 'extract-urls '(
"/tmp/foo.html"
"/tmp/bar.html"
))
If there is at most one link per line and you don't mind some very ugly regular expression hacking, run the following code on your buffer:
(defun getlinks ()
(beginning-of-buffer)
(replace-regexp "^.*<a href=\"\\([^\"]+\\)\"[^>]+>\\([^<]+\\)</a>.*$" "LINK:\\1|\\2")
(beginning-of-buffer)
(replace-regexp "^\\([^L]\\|\\(L[^I]\\)\\|\\(LI[^N]\\)\\|\\(LIN[^K]\\)\\).*$" "")
(beginning-of-buffer)
(replace-regexp "
+" "
")
(beginning-of-buffer)
(replace-regexp "^LINK:\\(.*\\)$" "\\1")
)
It replaces all links with LINK:url|description, deletes all lines containing anything else, deletes empty lines, and finally removes the "LINK:".
Detailed HOWTO: (1) Correct the bug in your example html file by replacing <href with <a href, (2) copy the above function into Emacs scratch, (3) hit C-x C-e after the final ")" to load the function, (4) load your example HTML file, (5) execute the function with M-: (getlinks).
Note that the linebreaks in the third replace-regexp are important. Don't indent those two lines.
You can use the 'xml library, examples of using the parser are found here. To parse your particular file, the following does what you want:
(defun my-grab-html (file)
(interactive "fHtml file: ")
(let ((res (car (xml-parse-file file)))) ; 'car because xml-parse-file returns a list of nodes
(mapc (lambda (n)
(when (consp n) ; don't operate on the whitespace, xml preserves whitespace
(let ((link (cdr (assq 'href (xml-node-attributes n)))))
(when link
(insert link)
(insert "|")
(insert (car (xml-node-children n))) ;# grab the text for the link
(insert "\n")))))
(xml-node-children res))))
This does not recursively parse the HTML to find all the links, but it should get you started in the direction of the general solution.
