Programming :: Allowing Export To Take Numbers As Variables?
Jan 26, 2011
I'm playing around with some shell scripting and I've got a directory call CS005 and I'm trying to write a script to I can locate to the directory really quick and easy.
export CS005DIR=/home/stud/0/043234/CS005
Now I get this error
CS005DIR=/home/stud/0/043234/CS005 No such file or directory.
This is because I've got numerical values within my variable.
Is there a way to allow numbers for variable names?
I am working on a project but it consist of a large amount of numbers. I have tried using OpenOffice to produce this list of numbers but it keeps crashing when I reach a certain point. So I was looking for some help. I need to see if someone could either help me with using a script or program to export these numbers into a .txt file or if someone could just make the list for me.
I am looking for a text file that will have the numbers 1000000000 to 9999999999 in order. I understand this is a large amount of numbers but this something I don't have the time to just do manually and each time I try to do it with OpenOffice it crashes around 1009000001. Oh and I need the text file to look like this:
I can't seem to find how to export a variable to all processes I run under my user? I have an application that needs this variable, and currently I have to manually export this variable (typing "export VAR=... in terminal) every time before I run the application.
Which profile file I have to put the export expression into? I want all processes to inherit this variable, not just the shell/terminal. I.e. a true environment variable...
am writing a small search program for my class. I have decided to use indexing for my program. Ive researched online about indexing and how search engines do it. If im gonno do that I need to create inverted files to associate files to numbers ( numbers being the index of my paths ) . Now I was wondering what would be the best way to create an inverted file ? I was going to create sql tables using mysql api in C but then again there is no array data type or vectors to store few numbers in a single column in mysql and it is not advised to use Enum or SET
I can define all variables in tcl programming in a file for instance var.cfgand source the same file in my tcl script such assource var.cfgIs this possible in perl too?
I'm trying to setup a kickstart installation and having some trouble with firewall settings. When you do a manual install it gives you the option on first boot to allow https, samba, and nfs4 in the firewall. I have as yet been unable to find the options for doing this in kickstart. Here is my current firewall line:
I have tried just adding --https but it errors on me. Am I just missing the keywords to set these up? I have looked but i can't find keywords for any services except telnet that are not already included in my firewall line. Should i be trying to do this with iptables in post rather than in the kickstart itself?
I have some code that opens a directory and reads in the names of files which are e.g. 0001, 0002, 0003 up to 9999I need to get all these numbers and then generate a new number that is not one of these numbers already.here is my code to check the files in the directory
I am developing using vb6 to export a chart (line graph) to OpenOffice Calc. I am using:
Code:
Chart.diagram = Chart.CreateInstance("com.sun.star.chart.LineDiagram") to create the LineDiagram. However, it is just a line diagram. What I need is a line graph with points plotted on it. How can I make it to LineDiagram with LINES AND POINTS?
As some of you know that I am new to this forum. I have another problem that I got stuck on. I have this file called "Fib.rbb" and my instructor told us to write an interpreter program by using Fib.rbb.
"You are to write an interpreter in Perl for Rongs Basic Basic (RBB) as explained in class. The BNF description for RBB and a test file called Fib.rbb are part of the RBB.zip file which is available in the Course Documents folder on blackboard. If you call your interpreter myIntp.pl, you would execute the program via perl myIntp.pl Fib.rbb
I am trying to extract 2 numbers from a same file and my goal is to print them both in another file, on the same line, separated with a space. I have to do that for 20 files and I would like to have therefore 20 lines like this in the output file. It would look like this :
And I did this by running a bash script with the following content :
Code:
#!/bin/bash ls execution$1$2*.* | while read filename do cat $filename | grep -e "Total aborts:" | cut -d " " -f3 >> abort$1$2.dat done
$1 and $2 are just strings to identify the different files I want to consider in this loop. This script works well to extract a number which is the 3rd field of a line starting with "Total aborts:".Now, how could I change this script to do what I mentioned above (i.e. extracting two numbers from two different lines) ? The second number is the 3rd field of a line starting with "Total throughput:"
I want the get the date of the oldest log in this directory and compare it with current date.Time of the each log can be seen before ".Z" prefix.I have written the following piece of code. However, it is not working for the following case:
LOGDAY=20101129 TODAY= 20101201
Difference is 72, which is not correct, since these are dates.
I'm trying to write a program that generates a random number and then tells if it is prime or not. I have doe some research about how to calculate prime and random numbers but I'm still having trouble. I don't really get how to calculate a prime number. I know a prime number is a number that is divisible by 1 and and itself. how to calculate a prime number in C?
I have a program that sends QByteArray datagrams over a udp socket. I would like to have 4 bytes of the datagram that contain a 32 bit integer. When saving numbers to the QByteArray, I have tried the static function number(int) and member function setNum(int), but they convert the integer to its decimal string representation and save that in the byte array. So if the number were 10, it takes 2 bytes, if it were 10,000,000 it takes 8 bytes. This wastes space, and makes it more difficult to get the number when it is packed with a few other pieces of data in the same datagram. Is there a standard way of doing this in Qt?
For eg: $NUMBEROFPASSES=6.19 to round up I use NUMBEROFPASSES=$(printf %.0f $NUMBEROFPASSES) What I need to do is round up from eg: 6.10 to be 7 and if lower than 6.10 round down to 6
I would like to create a small C tool. I encounter a problem of how to make a function to check an input chars contains numbers (started from the second element).
Some samples:
char *mychar= "a3547"; (The result of function checking this is true) char *another_char = "t6548"; (The result of function checking this is true) char *next_char = "appl3"; (The result of function checking this is false) char *new_char = "b1aa3"; (The result of function checking this is false)
I'm learning shell scripting using bash and I want to generate 4 floating point number with 5 decimal places and write them to a file and a variable. I've done all this except the $RAMDOM enviroment variable does not generate a float number but a integrer.
Can sed remove non-numerics (apart from an optional leading +) from phone numbers when prefixed with text that must be retained? The need is to make phone numbers exported from an Orage address book to a .ldif file suitable for gnokii to send to a mobile phone. Here are sample lines:
I am attempting to "export" the progress bar from wget display using sed. Basically, we have an app that starts wget to download a large file and we want to show a progress bar. Our application has a dbus interface to receive the download progress.
So we were think of a command like: wget [] | sed [] | dbus-send[] The problem at the moment is, how do you get the matched string out of sed and into dbus-send? I can get the progress string by: sed -u 's/[0-9]*%/&/'
This populated '&' with the correct percentage, but I cannot seem to get this out of sed.
And what I'd like is to have the files renamed like this:
Code:
How could I code it so that it removes the numerical part of the filename (at the beginning), even with different patterns (like the 01 - artist vs the 01-artist)?
