When receiving ZPL raw labels (text files) from a third party, I would like to run a regular expression on them to validate them.
Rather than a 100% strict validation, I am mostly looking to avoid sending to the printer obviously wrong files, such as completely unrelated text files, or binary files.
I am not familiar enough with ZPL/ZPL-II and I would prefer to use an existing resource for that. Would you know if one exists?
I've never heard of one. But it wouldn't be too hard to validate. ZPL is pretty straightforward, especially if there's a very defined set that you send to your printer...
The ZPL command characters are ~ for immediate commands an ^ for formatting commands.
Label formats must begin with a ^XA and end with a ^XZ.
Download commands typically begin with a ~D<something>, like ~DY, ~DG, ~DT, ~DC etc.
There are a couple status commands like ~HI and ~HS
There may be a couple other edge cases, but these are the most common commands.

I'm working with Ruby, I have a list of names/surnames in the Arabic Language, I want to translate them to Latin, as they are pronounced, for example, I have the name "رضوان" => "Redouane" (I can also accept Radouane, Radwan or anything like this).
Public APIs like google translate work fine on some names, but when the name has a meaning, they fail to translate it "as it is pronounced", for example, with Google translate, to English, it gives : "رمزي" => "symbolic" while what I want is "Ramzy" (I can also accept "Ramzi")
are there any good Ruby gems to translate names?
I'm trying to translate because I haven't been able to print arabic text to Ruby consoles directly, see : Printing a CP850 encoded string with Ruby (IRB)
Not a definite answer, but have you seen the Unidecoder gem? It provides basic transliteration from any unicode letters to plain ASCII. However, it is indeed only a simple transliteration, e.g. it does not add vowels to the transcription. Quoting from the README:
Other languages, like Hebrew and Arabic, don't write vowels, but assume them from context, so the ASCII representation of these langages given by this library will look fairly ugly to native speakers.
Your two examples yield to these transliterations:
require 'unidecoder'
=> true
>> "رضوان".to_ascii
=> "rDwn"
>> "رمزي".to_ascii
=> "rmzy"

On the YARD readme, there is mention of raw data generated by YARD:
YARD also outputs documented objects as raw data (the dumped
Namespace) which can be reloaded to do generation at a later date, or
even auditing on code. This means that any developer can use the raw
data to perform output generation for any custom format, such as YAML,
for instance.
What are examples/blogs/tutorials of using the raw data and translating it to other formats? For example, I am interested in transforming parts of the raw data into YAML.

I'm using this Songkick wrapper and it works for getting grabbing events by artist like so:
sk.events(:artist_name => "Balimurphy")
But I'm having trouble grabbing events by location. Songkick is expecting the query to look like this
location=geo:lat,lng
I'm having trouble finding the right syntax to pass lng=-73.5833, lat=45.5. Here are some variations I've tried:
sk.events(:location => :geo=>{:lng=>"-73.5833", :lat=>"45.5"})
sk.events(:location => {:geo=>lng=-73.5833, lat=45.5})
sk.events(:location => "geo=-73.5833,45.5")
Any ideas?
Where can I find documentation that might cover this?
I've been looking through the following 3 sources:
https://github.com/jrmehle/songkickr
http://rubydoc.info/gems/songkickr/0.1.0/frames
http://www.songkick.com/developer/event-search
and I think you need to change your last attempt to
sk.events(:location => "geo:-73.5833,45.5") # geo:
One example on the songkick page has location=ip:94.228.36.39. This makes me think that it for location, it wants location=type:data.
I assume that the hash you pass gets turned into key=value (just looking at the songkick page and your working example).
Therefore, you would want your value to be "geo:-73.5833,45.5" and your key to be "location".
I hope this works for you!

I was wondering if there is a tool (automator script or a third party) to generate code for simple scenarios like add another property. I don't like going to two or three places and write the same thing over and over again. instead I want to say "I want a new property of type int with name X" and it generates the lines in .h and .m files for me in one go.
I haven't actually used either, but xobjc is free (though requires you to do some code annotations) and Accessorizer looks interesting if somewhat complicated to setup.

I want to format my existing comments as 'RDoc comments' so they can be viewed using ri.
What are some recommended resources for starting out using RDoc?
A few things that have bitten me:
:main: -- RDoc uses only the last one evaluated; best to make sure there's only one in your project and you don't also use the --main command-line argument.
same as previous, but for :title:
:section: doesn't work very well
RDoc uses SimpleMarkup so it's fairly simple to create lists, etc. using *, - or a number. It also treats lines that are indented at the same column number as part of the same paragraph until there is an empty line which signifies a new paragraph. Do you have a few examples of comments you want RDoc'ed so we could show you how to do them and then you could extrapolate that for the rest of your comments?
