I wrote a C++ program that uses two different parsers. The first parser is reading program arguments from command line:./mybin arg1 arg2 ...then during program execution there's an interactive prompt asking for more parameters:
...
>> (second bunch of arguments here)
...
I'd like to run my program inside a bash script, but I don't know how to give the second level arguments.
I've written myself a linux program "program" that does something with a regular expression. I want to call the program in the bash shell and pass that regular expression as a command line argument to the program(there are also other command line arguments). A typical regular expression looks like "[abc]_[x|y]".Unfortunately the characters [, ], and | are special characters in bash. Thus, calling "program [abc]_[x|y] anotheragument" doesn't work. Is there a way to pass the expression by using some sort of escape characters or quotation marks etc.?
(Calling program "[abc]_[x|y] anotheragument" isn't working either, because it interprets the two arguments as one.)

I need to pass a large number of arguments to a function which takes variable number of arguments, such as gtk_list_store_new. But it doesn't look nice if i write something like gtk_list_store_new(NUM,TYPE_A,TYPE_B,TYPE_C,...,TYPE_OMEGA); because of large number of arguments. And, it will be a trouble to change number of columns because of need to manually change arguments to large number of such functions. So, how can i pass all the arguments to a function using a loop? Something like
Code:
for(i=0;i<NUM;i++)
{
push_arg(args[i]);
}
call_function(func);
?
Of course, i could just use asm code for this, but is there a portable way of doing so?
P.S. i mean C language.

I've started my own script trying to achieve this, but I'm still wondering if I'm losing performance and if there is a better way to do this task.

I've got a sticky little problem with a bash script. Please consider the following code:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
processArgs() {
echo "Count = $#"
while [[ $# -ne 0 ]]; do
echo $1
shift
done
}
processArgs $* If I call this script with Code: ./script first second third it'll print each of the argument on a new line - exactly what I would expect. However if I call it with
Code: ./script "Single Argument" "Second-Argument" it splits the first argument in two using the space as a delimitor. The problem appears to be the call to processArgs, where $* doesn't honour the quotes around the variables sent to the script.
I am calling script 2 from script 1. Is it possible for me to pass the output from script 2 to script 1 as the value of a variable. for eg.. path=`/XXX/XXX/script2.sh`

View 1 Replies View RelatedI decided to try making a programming language again after my last unsuccessful attempt, so now I figured how to write a good AST and it works great when the nodes are hard-coded into a test program. But to make a language out of it, I need a parser to build the tree according to an input file. I ran into a problem here:
YACC input file:
Code:
%{
#include "nodes/allnodes.h"
#include "Node.h"
int vars[26];
%}
%token SEMICOLON INTEGER VARIABLE IF WHILE DO OPAREN CPAREN OBRACE CBRACE
%right ASSIGN
%left NE
%left PLUS MINUS
%left TIMES DIVIDE
%% .....
As you might see, each nonterminal creates a Node* object and uses it as its value. The problem is that the literal tokens, however, don't return Node*'s and I don't know what to do. I would like to be able to convert literal tokens to nodes in the Lex file (which would avoid the problem), but the problem is with the assignment operator, which takes a Node* for the right-hand side and a variable name (not a Variable Node, because they just evaluate the the variable's value and you can't change the variable with them) for the left hand side.
I'll show the code first:

I wanted to make an alias with arguments (like in cshell) which is in bash done by functions. The function must simply perform a command (nedit), append the arguments from the cli and make it run in the background (adding &).

How can i use arguments and still start it in background? In cshell it was like:
I have a directory containing the following files.
Code:
1-res-opt-I189N-0001.pdb
1-res-opt-I189N-0002.pdb
1-res-opt-I189N-0003.pdb
1-res-opt-I189N-0004.pdb
[code].....
What I want is something like:
Code:
for i in *.pdb
do
python my_script.py 1-res-opt-I189N-00{1..10}.pdb 3-res-opt-I189N-00{1..10}.pdb
done
such that always the two files with corresponding index are submitted together to the Python script. How do I do that?
I know that $1 ... $n will set the argument to the values but what happened if I have many options in one scripts lets suppose.
I can run:
myscript -1stargument -2ndargument -3rdargument
or myscript -1stargument
or myscript -1stargument -3rdargument
In my scripts I have
if [ $1 = "-1stargument" -o $2 = "-2ndargument"] #for every instruction I need
fi
but is there any way to do:
if [ (any arguments or commands) = "(mydesired option ] ; then
(do this...)
fi

Probably a stupid sounding question, but bear with me please. I need to use the link grammar parser in order to do some part of speech tagging. It's freely available and works once you run the makefile or 'make' it or however it's correctly said. Thing is, it has a C API which I intend to use. And once I ran a bit of the sample code given in the documentation it gave a whole host of errors. This is very confusing because I'm including the path for the folder that has all the header files.
gcc -I/path/include/ filename.c. But it still gives me errors about not being able to find things that are clearly defined there. An hour of trudging around the internet tells me I need to 'compile' the API first. I'm not exactly sure how or if I'm supposed to do that. If someone could just shed light on this it would be greatly appreciated. I grow increasingly cynical to the musical swell of my tiny brain rattling in my skull.
I'm trying to develop an html template parser employing Flex & Bison, but now I found a problem and I don't know if surrender, so let's see if you can guide me to the solution (if any).
[Code]...
(Here I simplified the code to make only print what it gets, but it returns a token and the text to the bison program). Now my problem is that I would like to get the unknown characters as an unique string. [using the flex file above, returns char by char all HTML code that is not a comment!].
So, Could it be possible to make a flex rule that gets the HTML code?. It is not necessary to check if HTML code is correct I do it (before parse) using expat. Also there is no need to check the resulted code it will be done by the parser or compiler of the used language.
I know that are a lot of tools that uses this kind of templates in all languages and systems... but I'm just exercising my pour flex&bison skills. Also, using my current flex file, I have to remove the string "<!--MARKUP" from the beginning and "-->" from the end of returned string to bison... But in reality, if I could manage the HTML code as a flex rule, I could solve that sednding to bison an start Token, the code and and end token.
I wrote a simple bash script to let me treat any set of programs like a deamon. For example if I configure the script a certain way I can start/stop/get the status of apache, mysql and php all from one command. I am having a bit of a problem though. I am passing commands as strings to a function and then depending on the arguments to the script it might run one of these commands or another. Some of these commands need to beun in the background though, such as deluge-web. When I send "deluge-web &" to the function and it execute it deluge-web does not start in the background. I can't figure out why this is. I have tried escaping the & with ''s and with a , but nothing seems to work. I know that this is some idiotic thing that I am overlooking, but I am a bit stumped. Here is the script configured to start/stop/get status of deluged and deluge-web.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
function checkanddosomething {

I'm at the bottom of the bash learning curve, looking up, hoping someone can toss me a line. I need to update tracker on my system but this will erase the metatag database I've been building up over the course of months for the purpose of indexing a news archive. So the solution seems to be, 1) save the output of tracker-tag to a text file for all relevant files within a directory, 2) upgrade tracker (since the version in the Ubuntu repositories is very much out of date) and then 3) use a script to parse the text file and pass appropriate arguments back to tracker-tag to rebuild the database. It sounds as though it ought to be simple enough, but I need a push in the right direction, which hopefully will not be off the cliff. Before I confuse my metaphors any further, here's what the text file looks like.
