General :: Printf White Space - Words Splitting?

Jun 15, 2010

I am having trouble keeping the name together and the phone number together, I think due to the white space. I have tried "" and '' it doesn't seem to matter. So it may be my syntax? and does it matter how long the first and last names are.

me$ echo 'fstname lstname' '123 123-1234' | ./myscript
#myscript
read a b
printf "%-15s %20s
" $a $b >> my_phone_numbers
OUTPUT

fstnamelstname
123123-1234
insted of
fstname lstname
123 123-1234

I know its not an elegant script but I am still learning how some commands work.

General :: Keeping A Constant Space Between 2 Words In A File?

Oct 6, 2010

I have a text file that gets produced at the end of the script being run.

For this example the text file will produce the following:

Quote:

THE COW
THE DOG
THE CAT
THE HORSE

In the script I am using either echo or printf to print on the screen each line and then it is doing a test and produces a good or bad result.

Another example:

Quote:

THE COW -- IS HOME
THE DOG -- IS HOME

Each whitespace between the -- are 5 spaces. How can I get them to be in-line and formatted when it gets to more words, when THE HORSE arrives.

Example:

Quote:

THE COW -- IS HOME
THE DOG -- IS HOME
THE CAT -- IS HOME
THE HORSE -- IS HOME <-- This has only 3 whitespaces but is still formatted.

Hardware :: Printer Prints White Space Very Slowly?

Feb 12, 2011

I have successfully gotten my Canon MX300 Printer to work with CUPS. The printer works great, but for some reason it prints out white lines incredibly slow. The printer acts as if it is printing out actual text, e.g. if I have half a page of empty space, it prints it line by line for some reason... Anyone know what may cause this? I know that CUPS is not ideal with all printers, but it did not do this at first actually.

General :: Printf Calls - Cost Of I / O Redirection

Dec 16, 2010

Some context: I'm calling some functions from within a C program and want to measure how long they take to execute. I've done this successfully, calling printf to print the results to the screen. This is reasonably fast. Ideally I'd like these to be dumped to a file, but fprintf presumably has some overhead since it writes to disk? Unless the data is buffered by the kernel and flushed later? What kind of delay can I expect before fprintf returns?

If I redirect the stdout to a file when I instantiate the binary as a process, will calls to printf also experience any overhead from redirection to a file? My aim here is to capture all data in a file, with the minimal amount of coding and effort, but with minimal impact in terms of time overheads for printf calls.

Sep 7, 2010

I am facing a problem while splitting a text file, I need to split a file into some parts and each split file should have 2000 lines, when I do it through "split" command the mother file is kept intact but as per my requirement I need to cut mother file into some parts thus it should not be kept intact.

Example:

motherfile.txt 5000 lines.
after split
motherfile.txt 2000 lines.
childfile1.txt 2000 lines.
childfile2.txt 1000 lines.

General :: Splitting Text File Into Several Parts By Line Count

Sep 21, 2009

I have a utility that works with files. The utility is crashing at after about 120 files. The input to the utility is a file containing a filelist. I want to cut the file with the file names in it to seperate files containing about one hundred or so. My thought was to determine the number of lines/100 and then use head and delete to create temporary files to run the utility multiple times to prevent the crash. When I tried to create a variable using the wc -l command the output gives me the number of total lines but it also includes the filename of the input file. (873 Filename.txt) I can not figure out how to remove the Filename.txt from the variable.

General :: Splitting Large Directory Over Multiple Blank DVDs?

May 19, 2010

I am currently trying to copy a directory of roughly 400GBs to dvd, have gotten myself stuck. I tried to tar and then split; however, I don't have enough room on my hard-drive to make a compressed tar and split it up and then burn to disk, so I need a way to tar the and compress the directory, split it, and burn to disk every 4.3GBs.

I went ahead and installed DAR as an alternative, as I hear it is designed for this type of task, but I can't figure out which way is heads or tails.

my OS is the newest version of ubuntu 10.

Ubuntu :: Defining Variables With Printf?

Mar 24, 2010

I am trying to use bash 'printf' to format an environment variable.Doing this I get on the screen just the format I need (underscores mean blank spaces):prompt> printf "%10s" "1.23"________1.23Unfortunately, when this is assigned to a variable, the format disappears:prompt> X=`printf "%10s" "1.23"`prompt> echo $X1.23Does anyone know what can be done in this case to get a proper format?Why does not 'printf' respect the left blank spaces when assigning values to a variable?

Programming :: Printf Is Printing To The File?

May 10, 2011

Id like to share with you a strange behavior I�ve been seen with the printf C language function running in Fedora.The code opens a file as showed:descString = fopen( strcat( stringName, txt), a+);There are also some printf functions in the code.However, instead of the printf functions to print their content at the screen, theyve been printing them in the file with the descString file descriptor.Have you ever seen something like that?To print something to the file I use the fprintf function. I didn't make a mistake to confuse printf with fprintf. I'm sure.

General :: Finding Words In Files?

I am looking for this `struct messages_sdd_t` and I need to search through a lot of *.c files to find it.However, I can't seen to find a match as I want to exclude all the words 'struct' and 'messages_sdd_t'. As I want to search on this only 'struct messages_sdd_t' The reason for this is, as struct is used many times and I keep getting pages or search results.The directory I am searching in, has another directories so it will have to search recursively.I have been doing this without success:Code: find . -type f -name '*.c' | xargs grep 'struct messages_sdd_t'and thisCode: find . -type f -name '*.c' | xargs egrep -w 'struct|messages_sdd_t'
