General :: How To Grab Tricky Fields In A String
Mar 28, 2010I'm writing a script that picks out the time offset in a string, but am trying to figure out a way to print a field based on a match (likely needs to be regex).
Here are some sample fields:
09.900. Either add -12:-1: 0 to existing offset, or restart the slicer with no offset or with offset=00
09.900. Either add -12:-1:30 to existing offset, or restart the slicer with no offset or with offset=00
09.900. Either add -10: 0:-47 to existing offset, or restart the slicer with no offset or with offset=00
What I need would be "-12:-1: 0" from the first line, for example. I was just using "awk '{print $4}'" originally but because of the damn space in the 1st and 3rd lines by the 0, that doesn't work for me. How to grab those fields correctly for all cases?

Programming :: Pthread - Take String From The Command Line And Creates A Thread To Print The String
May 3, 2011I've been trying to understand pthread in C a little better. So I made a simple program that takes in a string from the command line and creates a thread to print the string. I've looked online and copied the basic concepts but there are something things I'm confused about. The programs works just fine, but I have questions. Here's what I have so far.
[Code]....
One thing I'd like to know is why the 3rd argument in the pthread_create function which is my SendMessage function needs to be typecasted to a void pointer and then send the address of the function. Also as for the 4th argument, I would see typecasting to void pointer in some of the pthread examples I saw online, but in my case I'm passing a char pointer, would this be correct? In which case would I ever want to pass a void pointer?
Do I need a pthread_exit(NULL) in my main and in the SendMessage function? If so, why? I added the sleep() function so that I could let the pthread_exit function in my SendMessage function execute first. I simply saw that the online examples on pthread had pthread_exit() in both locations.

General :: Catch Up A String In A Line?
Jun 17, 2010I would like to make a shell script that will do the following :- have a web-page using curl- download a picture from the web-page- have a line in the source code of the web page
