Programming :: Print A Line Of Fill Character In C?

May 15, 2010

As you know, in C++ you can use setfill(char c); and setwidth( int length) to fill a line of a character.
It's line making a line of a character for output

Code:
NAME DEPARTMENT LOCATION
==========================================
Pete R&D Chicago
...
==========================================
As you see, a line of a '=' character drawn to output.

I'm wondering, how can I draw this line in C using printf() to format?
( no loop or repetiton )

Programming :: Scripting To Find Line And Print Previous Line To Out

May 21, 2010

I have a perl/python interpreter available on the system so really as long as the script would run on a standard linux build I'll be happy.So I don't know how to program a script that would find the unique key (which if needed, can be easily stripped out and put into a separate file) and then print out the data below it without going into the other lines.

Programming :: Replace Character With Hex Value Choosing From Shell Cmd Line?

Jun 9, 2011

I am bouncing a file across platforms (windows->solaris->mainframe), and the file is starting out with a "special" character (the registered trademark "circle R") in some of the records. This character is not in the EBCDIC character set on the MF, so it is unrecognizable. The MF developer I am working with asked if it is possible to replace the character with a specific hex value (AF) before it gets to the MF.

I was putzing around with sed, tr, etc. on the ksh command line, hoping to find an easy way to get one of them to substitute hex instead of ASCII. I have found that the usual shell utilities recognize the trademark character, so homing in on what to replace is solved. But I cannot get anything to actually substitute in the hex sequence I want. E.g. I was thinking something like...

>cat special_file | sed 's/R/AF/g'

But my version of sed does not seem to have hex "editing" capability.

Programming :: Csh Shell Script - String Concatenation - Add A New Line Character?

May 4, 2009

Inside a loop i'm populating a string variable. Because csh doesn't have very good support for arrays I thought of doing this. I want to add a new line character to the end of the concatenation each time the loop iterates. Then at the end print this variable out.

I tried " and some resources said it was just a "". Neither work. What am I doing wrong?

Programming :: Using An Awk Command To Print A Line From A Cvs File?

Mar 4, 2011

I am using an awk command to print a line from a cvs file.the awk command includes an if statement that filter the output-lets say i want to print all the lines that the price field is greater than 30.i have it working when i put the parameters myself.. but when i try to send them with vars it wont work..i am sending the sign of the if statement - can only be: == , < , >it looks like this:

cat file.csv | awk -v sign=">" -v field="2000" '{if($3 sign field) printf "%-12s%-12s%-12s%-12s
",$1,$2,$3,$4}' FS=,

the bold part is the problem , because when i put the sign parameter myself t works great.. i guess its a chars issue but i cant spot it

Programming :: Gawk -- Print In A New Line Without Overwriting?

Sep 20, 2010

I have a directory where there are folders and in them some .txt data files. I am trying to output a .txt file with the folder name and the number of .txt files in it using gawk. However, when I run my shell program, because print is nested in a "while" loop, gawk overwrites what's already saved in the output file. I want gawk to print "new" output in a new line without overwriting the already existing text in the output fil

#! /bin/sh
# getting the folder list and the number of folders
ls | gawk '{print}' > ../folder_list.txt

Programming :: Print Images From Command Line At A Specific Size

Jan 7, 2010

I have a requirement to print images (two to be precise) from the command line of a given size and without losing too much quality.

So, I may have two images, a.jpg and b.jpg which may be 4x4" and 6x4" respectively (the sizes may vary). I need to be able to print both these on a single sheet of paper (one under the other) at a given size for each - so a may be 2x2" and b may be 3x2" - the aspect ratio will always be maintained (or as near as possible!)

I am currently doing this a very messy way (because I don't know any other way!!) - basically I am converting the picture to a given size using a set density using convert and then concatenating the two using montage.

Here is part of my script:

Code:

Don't worry too much about the case statement at the end - that is just to be able to select to print either A, B or A and B.

The issue with this is that is doesn't work great if the aspect ratio is not maintained perfectly and also, it loses quite a lot of quality on the print.

I have a very old windows app which I wrote years back in VB (o dear! ) which does the same thing and the quality is fine (I am running it through wine). I want it to be command line though because I want to run it as part of other scripts etc.

Ubuntu :: Fill In Command Line Prompts From Script?

Jun 9, 2010

I have set up an ssh server for myself and a friend to work on a project. It is configured to use password authentication, but I am somewhat uncomfortable giving him my password to get the files. I was wondering if there was any way to have a script that logs him on, filling in the password at the prompt. So that when "ssh xxxx@xxxxx" is run, the script fills in the prompt for the password rather than him filling it in.Of course he still could find the file within the script before it is run, but knowing his somewhat ADD nature it seems unlikely.

Programming :: Pthread - Take String From The Command Line And Creates A Thread To Print The String

May 3, 2011

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.

General :: Parse A File And Print Each Line That Ends With Matching Pattern (if The Next Line Is Blank)

Aug 2, 2010

I've written a script to parse a file and print each line that ends with matching pattern, if the next line is blank. The pattern lines are the result of md5sum $i|sed 's/path///g' so that only md5 and filename appear. Here's what I'm using.

Quote:

Programming :: Double Pointers / Matrix GCC (fill It One Column With Zeros And The Other With Ones)

May 26, 2011

I have a 10x2 matrix, I create said matrix and fill it one column with zeros and the other with ones, now when I print the matrix I get this:

column 1:
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1
column 2:
1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1

The first two rows of the second column are being replaced into the last two rows of the first column, now I even checked in visual studio and it works fine there. A friend tried my code and he gets it even worse:
column 1:

0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1
column 2:
1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1

As far as I've seen it must be a problem with GCC, unfortunately I need to have this up and running in GCC no matter what.

Programming :: Copy And Replacing Specific Line From File1 To File2 Line By Line

Mar 22, 2011

I have two files, file1.traj and file2.traj. Both these files contain identical data and the data are arranged in same format in them. The first line of both files is a comment.

At line 7843 of both files there is a cartesian coordinate X, Y and Z ( three digits ). And at line 15685 there is another three digits. The number of lines in between two cartesian coordinates are 7841. And there are few hundreds of thousands of lines in a file.

What I need to do is copy the X Y Z coordinate (three digits) from file1.traj at line 7843 and paste into file2.traj at the same line number as in file1.traj. The next line will be 15685 from file1.traj and replace at line 15685 at file2.traj. And I dont want other lines (data) in file2.traj get altered. This sequence shall be going on until the end of the file. Means copy and substitude the selected lines from file1.traj into file2.traj.

I tried to use paste command but I cant do for specified line alone.

Here i showed the data format in the file. I used the line number for clarity purpose.
