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)

Have this script which is reading in a series of files, one at a time with while-do-done loop, each file goes through various greps/awk's where this info is then saved to various files for later use. i.e....
Script is being run on Linux Red Hat,
In one of the grep/awk's the output (currently) are 2 columns (min max), i.e....| awk '{print $1, $2}' | sort -u which outputs (e.g.)
The number of "min max" pairs varies from file to file. Want to output a single column of unique numbers from the min max pairs & get the number of them for input to a file...i.e...
Where <PROCESS> is some process/technique that will generate a single column of integers (increment of 1) to pipe into the next one (sort -u)
i.e. (example from above)
Have tried command seq - only works for single pair input i.e.
Is there any command like seq etc which will output a single column based on a input of min max numbers (increment 1) to pipe onwards to next command?

I have a program that prints out lines like:
And I want to be able to pipe it to sort on that third column, by letter first, then number. But I keep coming getting files sorted like:
(field separations all start at same place, so columns are not jagged like above.)
I have read the sort man pages, and have tried -n for the numbers, and -k for the position to start sorting, among other things. I also tried inputting a second position to start sorting, which sort should supposedly refer to if the two entries are identical at the first place being compared, but it seems to just ignore the second one. I just can't get it to sort the numbers properly...
For now I am manually opening the file in emacs and changing them around, needless to say, very time consuming.

In M$ Word, if you press Alt+X, the letter behind the cursor will become a Unicode hexadecimal string. Where is that functionality in OpenOffice.org Writer?

I did a system update earlier in the day, but I have a hard time thinking this is connected to it:
I shut down my computer and when I went to start it up, I got a black screen and a bunch of letters and numbers followed by:
Is there something I can do to get back to my desktop? Is there a way I can access my documents, at least?

[Code]....
but i am still unclear on how i am able to make the program check if either on of the input(either $Title or $Author) is not filled up, and if one of it is not filled up, use the other one which is filled to do a search.

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'm triyng to make a Bash Script that checks (recursively) the MD5 from all the files in a certain directory and compare them against some other check that should be already done and saved in a file.
I've reached to the point where i have the MD5 from the file and the MD5 that the script saved in a file the last time it runs.
But, for some reason, when i compare them, the script always tell me that the MD5 change!
Here is the part of the script that make the comparision:
Code:
For those who want it, the complete script: (Long and with Comments in Spanish!)

Recently I faced a problem in typing in English in OpenSuse 11.3.When I try to type in English it shows me Greek letter and worse than that I think it is really Greek (not only in font) because when I enter my passwords or try to type a command in terminal I get error,I tested with UK and USA and all other English languages and I still have this problem. I even do reset in my keyboard layout setting and in KDE setting but it didn't help.

i could find is crunch2.9 password generator but at the moment it does not suport the function that i am looking for. My aim is to generate : 10-character combinations of the following characters (lowercase) 23456789abcdef with no more then 3 same letters repeates no metter side by side or within one line (sequence) so lets say
abcdef1234 accept
fabcde1234 accept
ffabcd1234 accept
which is probably permutation with repetable string ( where abc is not equeal to cba etc .so ti speak position does metter)
fffabc1234 not acceptable -----(3 same characters)
ffabcf1234 not acceptable -----( 3 same characters event thought not side by side)
so generally we dont want 3 same characters apper in same line.

I found such simple example of awk
Code:
awk '
BEGIN { a = "1abc 2def"
b = gensub(/(.+) (.+)/, "\2 \1", "g", a)
print b }'
However I don't understand why the regular expresion in parentheses doesn't work how I woud expect. If I delete the .+ so it does the same.
Code:
awk '
BEGIN { a = "1abc 2def"
b = gensub(/() ()/, "\2 \1", "g", a)
print b }'
I wanted to use a regular expression in parantheses like ([/+[]()]) to get the specific letters.
Code:
awk '
BEGIN { a = "1abc 2def"
b = gensub(/([/+[]()])/, "//\1", "g", a)
print b }'
But why the regexp in () isn't working

I tried googling around but i cant find anything related to this: everyone seems just interested in random numbers, so when it comes to random letters there is a lack of informations. However, i am trying to figure out a wait to get a random letters string that matches a simple rule: it must be a sequence of consonant+vowel. So for example, these are some 6 letters strings i would like to obtain: wolupa, tafoke, zewevu, cupimo.

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
Code: Print "A few Fibonacci numbers:"

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 :
Quote:
number1_file1 number2_file1
number1_file2 number2_file2
...
...
number_1_file20 number2_file20
So far, I did only extract one number and got an output file like this :
Quote:
number1_file1
number1_file2
...
...
number1_file20
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 am struggling to understand why nawk matches values that are either 1 or 2 digits in length, but not 100 (3 digits).
Am I missing something obvious ? Should I use substr to remove the % ?
I am sure it's something to do with character and string matching behaviour with nawk.

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?
