I want to loop through the records in the below file (homedir.temp)
/home/user1
/home/user2
/home/user3
I want to do the following activities with each record1. du -s - to get the total usage for that directory (my variable name is SIZE)2. divide SIZE by du -c for /home to get the percentage of usage. (my variable name is PER)3. write the directory, SIZE, PER to a filePROBLEMI am using the below for loop: for record in homedir.tempthe mentioned activitiesdonehe above is not looping through the records. It does the first record perfectly and exits the loop.

I have to parse a file containing billions of records and populate them in the Data structure. I have used a lot of C++ class and creating objects of the class I am storing the information retrieved by parsing the file.
Now as the file become huge and number of objects become very large my code is getting bad_alloc error as it is not finding any space avalable in the heap for allocating new object.
Is there any way to parse the file?

I am trying to store the results of my code to a separate text file.But the problem is, as my results comes from a loop, my text file shows only the last result, not all of them.Like if the loop runs 5 time the text file shows the result for the 5th step.But i need to store all of them (1 to 5).Can I use awk to print the output field and store to another file and creat a new line so that the next output field goes to a new line?(just an idea, dont know).
#!/bin/basth
for (( i=1; i<=5; i++))
do
./file.exe > output.txt
done

I'm trying to read content of file to variable and use this variable in for loop. The problem is, when I have c++ comment style in file - /*. Spaces in line are also interpreted as separated lines.
For example:
Code:
Changing $files to "$files" eliminate these problems but causes that whole content of variable is treated as one string (one execution of loop).

I am using SQLite as my database for some portable cross platform applications I am working on with REALBasic as my IDE. I have an old Sybase 8.0 database that I can access via Microsoft Access and thereby extract the data I need from each table.
Now I know I can create .csv files from each table and load them into SQLite using the import tool, but then I can't define the primary key and other field attributes. So the other option is to load each file via SQL.
Now with most SQL editors I can create multiple queries and they will run just fine. But I can't seem to do that with the SQLite interfaces. I can paste multiple queries but I can only run one at a time. And by that I mean I have to click run.
Ummm that's not acceptable since my biggest table contains over 600,000 records. I have the queries all written, that was easy using a simple interface I wrote in Access.
Code:
INSERT INTO tblMeters(recordId,meterId,meterName,meterSerNum,registerSerNum,mxuSerNum,meterType,manufacture,meterModel,readType,groupId,multiplier,rollover,vendorId,xfrmerCode,bldgCode,CATEGORY,energyType,unitOfMeasure,location,access,comments,dateInstalled,dateCalibrate,pipeSizeIn,pipeSizeOut,elecMeterSpecs)
[Code]...
So is there another method I can use? I can't seem to find anything relating to my particular question at the SQLite web site

I'm using MYTHTV with AT&T's U-Verse system. AT&T apparently turns off the set-top box if the box doesn't receive any commands after some number of hours. When this happens the box takes so long to turn on that it doesn't process the lirc IR channel change command. I've rewritten my channel changer to add a lockfile, and added a cron entry to kick off an entry to just "ping" the set-top box once an hour. But, OK, I'd like to play the bandwidth saving game and not do this if there isn't anything in the "record" table.
So, how would I write a script that will check the number of rows in the "record" table in the "mythconverg" database and exit if there are zero rows? I'm afraid I don't know how to even start this. Here is my "keepalive.sh" script that does the pinging:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#if there are no rows in the record table, just exit this script
# lock the lockfile - MUST be same one as channel lock
while [ `lockfile "/tmp/mythchanlock.lck"` ]

I am no expert when it comes to BIND. I seem to be able to resolve NS and A and TXT records for my domain, but I cannot get the MX records to come out. Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong with my BIND zone file? I wonder if it might have something to do with the fact that my IP is currently on a policy Block List?

I would like a program that records my desktop activity as a video file. Do you know any nice program to do that? Moreover it would be nice afterward to insert this video the openoffice or microsoft's powerpoint. Do you know what is the "best" video format that guarantees the biggest interoperability (the ability the video to play in different platforms).

I have two files :
FileA
prot1
prot5
prot9
prot15
[Code]....
What I need to do is to extract from fileB the fields containing only the strings in fileA.
I thought awk could do the job easily with :
Code:
awk 'BEGIN { RS = "###" } /'$variable'/' fileB > output
where variable would maybe be the output of grep from fileA. So can I store the output of grep in a variable to use it afterwards with awk ?
something like that:
Code:
result=`grep prot. fileA` ; awk 'BEGIN { RS = "###" } /'$result'/' fileB > output
but that doesn't work. I'm always getting the entire fileB.
The output of grep get stored in the variable, I verified that with echo. So there is something that I just don't get... It seems to me that the above line should work.

I'm trying to manipulate a large text file full of records (metadata - one complete record per line). I need to delete every line on which certain words appear - there are five different words, all pretty simple all-caps strings with occasional whitespace. I tried using grep -v, which worked a treat, but only string-by-string. Ideally I'd like to run this as grep -v -f, where the file targeted by the -f contains the strings I need to match in order to delete the lines they're in.
i.e. grep -v -f filecontainingSTRINGS.txt targetfile.txt > outputfile.txt
When I try this, however, I don't get any matches - or more specifically, no changes are made in the output file. It works fine if there's only one string in filecontainingSTRINGS, but it doesn't work if there's more than one (I'm using newline as the delimiter). (Also my machine doesn't recognise /usr/xpg4/bin/grep - no idea what that's all about!)

I am trying to do some shell programs. I tried some sites regarding the while loop, they give the structure as:
Code:
while [ n1 -lt 500 ]
do
echo $((n1+100))
done
But the below code also worked for me:
Code:
while ((n1 > 500))
do
echo $((n1+100))
done
By using (( )) I could use while, for. But the documentations didnt follow this way. I mainly use this for datastructure programming.

In the code segment below is a for loop I am having some considerable difficulty with. It just keeps iterating endlessly and totally ignores the 70 times limit specified. I can't ever remember having this problem before and am absolutely Clueless.
Code:
for ( x = 0; x < 70; x++ )
{
fputs ("CSN00", target);
fprintf (target, "%d", userid);

I've got a 'nested' for loop which has a grep in it, if the grep fails there's no output - however the error code is still $0 and the second for loop is still entered, there's also a grep in the second for loop.I guess ultimately what i need to know is whether there's a way of making grep generate an error code. when no results are found?

I'm writing a mass snmp toner check which polls any toners available to be snmp polled, however when using a loop statement I get the results on different lines; which sounds good, however the tool I use to check with (nagios) ignores the new lines.
Is there any way I can get the output on one line? Also, I need to raise a fault if any of the toners are below a specific level (with nagios you raise faults with the exit code) - any way I can do this without exiting the loop. Code below with bits and bobs commented out.
Code:
check_ink_levels ()
{
for ID in $INKS

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 have images in jpg format
Code:
CIMG0100.jpg
...
...
CIMG0131.jpg
I used imagemagick to convert the files to gif with the following command
Code:
for i in {100..131}; do convert CIMG0$i.jpg CIMG0$i.gif; done # works
This worked like expected, but when afterwards I wanted to scale the images
Code:
for i in {100..131}; do convert -scale 25% CIMG00$i.gif CIMG00$i_scaled.gif; done # works not it seems the system is working for about half a minute, but I get no output. The single command
Code:
convert -scale 25% CIMG100.gif CIMG100_scaled.gif # works
works as expected and gives me a scaled image. What does the convert command do in the second case? is the for-loop wrong?
