This may be a basic bash array/string operation related question, but I couldn't find any direct answer. So here it goes:I have a lot of data sorted in various directories. All directories need same processing except for a special group of directories. I have a symbolic link of the script in discussion in each directory. I want the script to get the name of the current directory, check if that belongs to special group and do specific operations.So I get the name of the directory
Code: mm=`basename `pwd`` Now the the group of directories that needs something different to be done, contains these
I want the value between default tags 111 in this case.
I treid to use ${var1:10:3}
But the execution gived "bad substitution' error. If the tags are removed and substring is fetched it works fine. Is there any other was to get substring in a string with tags.
There is always one occurrence of € in each line. I want the numeric value that precedes this € occurrence. The random text (before and after) may contain numbers too, so the € may be important to parse, in order to correctly identify the number to return. The last character that precedes the number to extract is always a ">" (coming from an HTML tag).
I'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.
I need to creates string suffixes out of a Reference string. for eg. suffixes of abcdefg will be
1)bcdefg 2)cdefg 3)defg and so on...
create an array of pointers to point to the first few characters and then use that pointer to print the rest of the string.But when i print using the pointer i get GARBAGE values! shudn't std::cout<<ptr[w] print the string following the char it is pointing to? why do i get garbage values?
How can I just take the type of the file at the end? I know I can use strrchr() for a period to get the pointer to the period just before file type. Is there a build in string function that will just take the rest of the string from a certain point on forward in the string? I know it wouldn't be much work to make it myself, but I figured I would find out if it already existed before doing it.
I've been given a custom-made string class which handles string, wstring and bstr. It has a number of methods and assignment operators to convert to and from different types. The app I work on compiles happily in VS6 and VS2008, but when trying to compile in Redhat (version 4.1.1 in Redhat 5.0)
I have the following two type of strings1: A/D2: A/C/DI am trying to write a subroutine to check whether all of the letters in string 1 appears in string 2. If yes, return true. If not, return false. In the above example, all the letters (A and D) in string 1 are also present in string 2, so I return true.
I'm trying to use ${VAR:0:4} substring extraction described here: tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/string-manipulation.html and it works perfectly if i issue a command in bash. But when i put it in a script file and run it, bash gives me "bad substitution" error. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Do I have the convert the int to a string using stringstream then convert the string to a char? or is there a more direct way?Also is there a way to tell the length of a int?
I have a serial port program which is reading a string .if(read(readfd,sResult,1)>0)where sResult is unsigned char sResult[10];if sResult is array of 10 then iam getting string perfectly but if iam making sResult only as unsigned char I am getting NULL value CODE BELOW
Code: unsigned char sResult; main() { readfd = open("/dev/ttyUSB0", O_RDONLY); if (readfd == -1) { perror("READ: open_port: Unable to open /dev/ttyUSB0-
actually i want to extract the substring between 2 underscores e.g. in case of 1_40_37573.dbf i need 40 and in case of 1_101_37373.dbf i need 101 and so on
I'm having problems completing my school exercises with awk.
Heres the desired outcome:
Code:
./my_awk 2 ACG GAG ATT AGG AGG ATC CCA CCA CAC AGG ACG GAG ATT AGG AGG ATC
So it generates data in group of threes, 8 groups per row and prints it. My problem is that I can't seem to get awk to append stuff to string so I could print it nicely to screen. It just prints empty lines per the parameter given to it.
I need to extract a price from a string, this may vary in the future so it may be 12.99 or 14.99. i thought a sed command might crack it and i need to write to a file:<td><b class="priceLarge">?6.99</b>I need to extract the price 6.99(with no ?)so extract anyhting between "> and </B> and write it to a file such as tmp1.txt .
i am compiling the following program in linux. it's in c language. after the compilation with gcc when i run the executable file. it asks for input. but when i enter a name. i prints "Segmentation fault" and then terminate the program. can you please help me.
I am trying to monitor how long an ldap search takes and maybe notify or something that a search takes longer than say 10 seconds.
Code: tail -n 1000 /var/log/ldap.log for SRCH in $( cat monitorldap.log |grep 'SRCH'); do echo search string is echo $SRCH
[Code]....
ok, so to start off with it doesn't appear to get the whole line, just a piece "Aug". How can I get the whole line into a variable so I can then cut it up into the pieces I need?
I want to create a script wherein it will put a string somewhere on the text file. I tried to create a script using redirect ">" and then put it on top of the file.
