In a file i have to grep for a particular word and cut 8 characters of that word and replace the last characters with space if it is _1.Eg: HP4350_1..i did grep|cut -c 2-9|but didn't know how to truncate the last two characters if its '_1'.i used tr '[_1] '[ ]'.but it replaced all the characters where there is a 'underscore' and 1 instead of'_1' together.
View 5 RepliesIf I grep -nr sumthin * in my source code directory, it also spews out very long lines from minified JavaScript or CSS files. I want to get just the first 80 characters per line. For example, a regular grep gives me this:
css/style.css:21:behavior: url("css/iepngfix.htc")
css/style-min.css:4:.arrow1{cursor:pointer;position:absolute;left:5px;bottom:10px;z-index:13;}.arrow2{cursor:pointer;position:absolute;right:5px;bottom:10px;z-index:13;}.calendarModule{z-index:100;}.calendarFooterContainer{height:25px;text-align:center;width:100%!important;z-index:15;position:relative;font-size:15px!important;padding:-2px 0 3px 0;clear:both!important;border-left:1px solid #CCC;border-right:1px ... etc.
But I'd like to get just this instead:
css/style.css:21: behavior: url("css/iepngfix.htc")
css/style-min.css:4:.arrow1{cursor:pointer;position:absolute;left:5px;bottom:

I want to write a bash script, which will read two strings: firstname and surname, then the script will generate a username. For example: the user name for "Peter Brown" will be brownp.
My questions are:
1. how can I get first letter from variable $firstname?
2. how can I join the two strings together?
I have two questions :
1) Is it possible to truncate the file content , not to drop the file ? i.e, I want to just delete a file's content only, not to drop the file .
2) I can find the connectd user using command 'w' or 'who' . Now How can I force disconnect a session from the list of 'w'/'who' command ?
I'm working on my ncurses application, written in C. I get user input through a loop which uses getchar(). I was able to recognize Ctrl-n by comparing the keypress to ASCII character 16, and this seems to work fine. However, if I noticed that the ASCII character for Ctrl-j (10) is the same as the Line Feed. I tested this, and if I press enter on the keyboard I get the same ASCII value as when I press Ctrl-j.
So, what do I do if I want Ctrl-j to mean something different in my program than pressing enter?The ncurses terminal mode is set to raw, with a 100 millisecond timeout, and keypad is on (I'm already using the up and down arrow-keys).
I am trying to create an array containing all ASCII characters, how do I create one:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

View 3 Replies View Relatedsplitting a string by every nth characters. I'm using Python 2.7.1 because I'm using older libraries, if that matters.
For example, if this is my input:
Quote:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ac elit nibh, vitae venenatis ligula. Vestibulum a varius turpis.
Splitting it by every 10th character should produce this list:

I wrote a java program that writes strings to a file. The strings contain foreign language characters. When I run the program in Windows, the output file shows the foreign characters. However, when I attempt the same operation in Linux, the output file shows a white question mark in a black background instead of the foreign characters. The same Linux system could display the foreign characters if I copy the output file from Windows to Linux. I tried to create the output file using gedit that my program would then add additional strings to and chose Unicode-32 for encoding but still the same problem.
What could I do to get the program to display the foreign language characters from output text file?
My goal is to send escape characters from Linux to make scanner's LED blink. I've started with a simple "beep" command:
echo -e "�7"
and it worked. We are using WaveLink emulator and the escape sequences for the LED are
echo -e "�33%150;200;5L"
Linux returns me this: 150;200;5L
So, it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong for the LED sequences?
How can I filter ASCII quotes( ' ) and double quotes ( " ) so that I can replace them with the UTF-8 equivalent?If I copy text from a Word Document(ASCII), and upload it to a web page with PHP. The Database(UTF-8) will replace these racters with incorrect character(s).I need some function that will replace these characters but I don't know how to differentiate the ASCII quotes and the UTF-8 Quotes without (somehow) converting the string to hex, then preg_replace'ing the hex code for the symbol.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am working on an application that will convert English text into equivalent Indian language text. Since Unicode is the standard, I will be using it. In most of the western languages each code-value directly refers to the glyph index and placing the code-values side by side will give the required display. This one to one mapping is not possible in Indian languages where rendering syllables is required rather than rendering just consonants and vowels. Many of the complex characters are made up by combining several unicode values.
My question here is: How Linux renders this Unicode text correctly? More specifically, what package is used? I believe in Windows they use Uniscribe for rendering.I believe there will be an operating system library for handling the text rendering. Or do I need to write my own rendering engine? How programs like Firefox, GEdit shows unicode text? Do they also have proprietary engines for correct rendering?
For example, I have a file called "file" like this one:
type=strongsubj len=1 word=absolve pos=verb stemmed=y priorpolarity=positive
type=strongsubj len=1 word=unique pos=adj stemmed=n priorpolarity=neutral
type=strongsubj len=1 word=absolutely pos=adj stemmed=n priorpolarity=neutral
type=weaksubj len=1 word=taking pos=verb stemmed=y priorpolarity=positive
type=weaksubj len=1 word=friend pos=noun stemmed=n priorpolarity=positive
type=weaksubj len=1 word=usually pos=adverb stemmed=n priorpolarity=positive
type=strongsubj len=1 word=purecolor pos=anypos stemmed=n priorpolarity=negative
type=strongsubj len=1 word=accusingly pos=anypos stemmed=n priorpolarity=negative
I want to add the plural for the noun, for example if find this line:
type=weaksubj len=1 word=friend pos=noun stemmed=n priorpolarity=positive
will add one more line :
type=weaksubj len=1 word=friends pos=noun stemmed=n priorpolarity=positive
where we add "s" for the word friend
I did try to do like that:
<code>
cat file | while read LINE ; do
set -- ${line}
if [[ "${4#pos1=}" == "noun" ]];then
#I tried this line but it doesn't work properly:
v3==$(echo $line |sed 's/$3/$s') #I want to find the third word "word=friend" in that line and add "s" after that word
# I don't know what command to add this new line "$v3" to the file ???
done

Well, I have a web application in Linux server. All my Java codes are there. FYI, whenever user entered non-ASCII characters(e.g. ∞,�,�) in a text field in my web application, and I check the log of my Java code in Linux server, it returns weird characters.
Suppose user entered ∞ in the text field. I should get ∞ in my log too. However, I got weird characters in return.

Currently, I'm working on personal project. and I'm kinda stuck. What I want to do is that open a file, and edit that file (deleting unwanted characters). The problem arises after I deleted unwanted characters, the file still has the same length of the original one. Let's assume that we have a file with "1234" in it. I deleted "3" ( I overwrite "\0" ) so now when I check the file, it's 124. But when I check the length, the both have the same size as 4
Here is an example source code
int length, length2;
num = open("a.dat", 2)
length = lseek(num, 0, 2); // Initial length
lseek(num, 2, 0); // editing
write(num, "\0", 1);
length2 = lseek(num, 0, 2); // Final length
close(num);
When I print those values those are exactly the same. Length2 should be one less than length, but the both are 4. What's wrong in m code? Am I supposed to use different character rather than "\0"?
I have a hard time figuring this out. I need to replace the date formats of arrival date(column 31-40) and departure date(column 42-51) and I need 2 outputs. I cannot even figure out how to start.code...

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm working with javascript and trying to replace all instances of a Roman character in a string with nothing. How do I assign var reg to all Roman characters? In UTF8, capital letter A is U0041 and at the other end, small z is UFF5A.
So, I'd like to do something like:
var reg = u0041 - UFF5A;
str1 = str.replace(reg, '');
I think you get the idea. I have no idea if that can be done. The idea is to take this string (for example): str = make a door-to-door[house-to-house] visit / ring every doorbell." And take out all the Roman characters and define it as str1. And then take out all the Korean characters (u1100-uFFDC) and define it as str2. In fact, a WAY more useful thing to do would be to replace the instance of this: [u1100-uFFDC]+" "+[u0041-UFF5A] with [u1100-uFFDC]+","+[u0041-UFF5A] so that the output would be a .csv file.
