Linux kernel 2.6, Slackware 12.0
How do I set case insensibility in searches running vim? I thought I could find this in the manual or the in browsing help within the program itself, but it was not long before I realized I was mistaken.
Is there a way of making rsync (an offspring of rcp) case insensitive? Perhaps mounting the file system (not linux) in some special way?

iwconfig ath0 mode managed essid "ESSID"
ifconfig ath0 192.168.1.25 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
I want to add it to start up script but I don't want to get locked out of the device forever if something happens to the router (its really old). Is there any way to check if the connection failed and create an ad-hoc instead if it failed?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have several directories of subtitles for some videos, but all the text for the subtitles in each file is in uppercase, and I would like to convert the files' content to lowercase, all in one go. I found on a website a bash command that would do each file separately:tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' <input.txt> output.txt but of course involves specifying the input name and output name for each file.I have been trying to do it in a script that would work for all files in the current directory, without having to rename them each time, if that's possible. So far I've got the following, which doesn't work:
#!/bin/bash
for file in $@; do
tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'
done
However, my web searches cannot locate a way of specifying "each file in current directory" in conjunction with the "tr" command, but also without having to rename the file once converted to lowercase. Is it possible, or would the tr command have to create a new file for each converted file?

mkisofs 2.01
I do 'mkisofs -iso-level 1 -o image John Smith.txt'. Only an example. When I mount image, ls outputs john_smi.txt. So it has shorten to 8.3 and translated ' ' into '_'. This is in accordance with the manual, although it doesn't say the conversion will be done.
Quote:
-iso-level level
.........................
With all iso9660 levels from 1..3, all filenames are restricted to upper case letters, numbers and the underscore (_).
...........................
However, as it did not reject the file name, it should have converted it to all upper case, it seems to me. And -iso-level 2|3 does the same thing.
Code:

I have some problem, the gparted 'searches' for ever on one disk only, even after 20-30 mins it is not finished and it has to be stopped manually.
Tried the same with debian, which has gparted 0.38, and the all works fine.

I am looking for the quickest way to do multiple searches for different files.Here is the scenario: I want to search for various icons one by one in a script. Preference is for the gnome icon theme.
The echo piped into grep part seems to take a long time. Is there a quicker way of doing this?I do not want to use slocate, sqlite or the like since that will require admin privileges to update the database and/or extra dependencies.
I know this is a rather odd question, but like in the old days you can get one drive bay desktop cases.

But sometimes I want to sort by case-sensitive, so the upper-case letters come first, then lower-case letter.

It isn't that URL is wrong but maybe connection to DNS server is slow or something similiar. I remember that wget tries 20 times by default to get the file (browsing is downloading+ decoding+ displaying).Does any web browser or addon tries repeatedly till it is successful in contacting website server? It can tell me 'trying nth attempt at www.website.com'

while learning to write bash scripts, i decided to write some script that, given an integer as input, will tell you the square root of that integer (provided the integer in question is a perfect square). i have already done on using primarily if statements and a while loop. i decided that using a case statement would be a lot simpler and i would be able to make the script more functional. here is what i have so far

i have tried all posible combos of using -ge or >= but i get pretty much the same thing.
the idea is, for now, if the input is greater than or equal to 0 that it will echo test. can you do this sort of thing with case statements? or will it only work if i give it specific values like [1-9] (if this is the case then i dont think the case statement will work for what i want to do)

I'm rsync'ing a bunch of files between a Windows and a Linux system. Since not all Windows care about case, some of the files on the Windows system no longer have the same casing as they had on the Linux system. But rsync now treats these files as different and uploads a new copy.
Is it possible to have rsync ignore the case?
I am not able to figure out how can I do case-insensitive search using the find command.
