WELCOME TO SCRIPT SWAP!

This subreddit is for sharing scripts you've written with everyone. Write a neat .bat file that cleans up stuff? A perl script that does half of your job requirements for you? Post it here!

RULES:

If you need help with your script, or need beta testers, please submit it in r/AskScriptSwap.
NO GAME SCRIPTS PLEASE - There are already enough subreddits for this.
Write what the script does in the title and give a description of what each function of the script does. (if you commented out the script, that's cool too). Please include the source code in your post, unless it's very large. Feel free to link to it (on github, gist, etc) as well. Don't forget to state what license you are releasing your script under (ie: GPL). If you don't specify a license, r/ScriptSwap will assume ownership and release it under a GPL license for everyone. This is to prevent IP violations, and other related issues. Let's try to keep the headings clean too. ie: [Language] My script bla bla bla
NO MALICIOUS CODE! Security/auditing/hacking scripts are OK.
Let's keep it friendly around here. This is for sharing your scripts with others. Keep the negativity to a minimum. Feel free to post optimizations but please do not do so in a condescending manner. We're all here to learn.
If you find a neat script, but didn't write it, feel free to post, but you MUST CREDIT THE AUTHOR. This must also not violate the author's license/terms of use. You will have your post deleted if you do not credit the author, or violate the author's terms.
SCRUB YOUR SCRIPTS. Sometimes people work insecurely and have plaintext passwords, proprietary information, etc in their scripts.
Please take a moment to learn how reddit's formatting works when you make your post. This will make your post a LOT more readable. NOTE: Lines starting with four spaces are treated like code.

Enjoy r/ScriptSwap!
