Programming :: Double Quotes Inside Double Quotes?
Jun 6, 2010In bash I need to use some equivalent of double quotes inside double quotes (or the other way around.)I need to run the following statement to get the output of foo and store it in a variable while passing foo the $file which probably contains spaces.
Code:
variable=$(foo "$file")
The problem is that foo might return an empty string and if it does I need to catch it

Aug 2, 2011I am not sure If anybody has faced this issue, my keyboard is less responsive when pressing the double quote/single quote key, I have to press it twice for it to print the quote( and that too it prints some other data and not exactly a double-quotes). Initially I thought it was issue with my keyboard, but later I see that it is working fine in Windows XP. It looks some kind of setting issue. If you check the below two examples, example a) is the double quote printed in Ubuntu, it doesnt exactly looks like a double-quotes and b) is the one printed in Windows.

Jan 29, 2011I am trying to synchronize the content of the directory my_dir/ from /home to /backup. This directory contains a file which name has a double quote in it, such as to"to. Here is my rsync command:
rsync -Cazh /home/my_dir/ /backup/my_dir/
And I get the following message:
rsync: mkstemp "/backup/my_dir/.to"to.d93PZr" failed: Invalid argument (22)
For info, rsync works well when the synchronized filenames contain single quote, parenthesis and space. Thus, why is it bugging with a double quote?

Programming :: Bash Script Trying To Remove A Leading 'and A Tailing'?
Mar 28, 2010I have a script that calls for a file description on a core file. I then pull the name of the process that caused the core file.
unfortunately, the process name is pulled with a leading ' amd a tailing'. I would like to remove the leading char and the last char.
code:

output:

Results I need:
Process Name: ProcessName
I tried sed, but it seems to not like using the special char '.
Programming :: Can't Remove Temporary Files Using Bash Script?
Nov 9, 2010However, the ffmpeg command generates a temporary file blahblah.mpg.tmp of about 1GB per hour of transcoded video.My issue is that I can't seem to delete these files automatically from any bash script.Now from the command line, I can cd to the directory and just rm -f *.tmp and they get deleted. However, from my script, that same command doesn't remove those files. I thought maybe the file was in use, so I put a sleep command in for like an hour before the delete happens, but it still fails. I also put rm -f /mnt/mythtv/*.tmp in a root cronjob and it still doesn't delete the files.
If I just rm *.tmp I do get a prompt about "Are you sure you want to delete this write protected file?". But the -f switch seems to work fine as a normal user from the command line and just delete them.Does anyone have an idea how to troubleshoot this problem? The particular filesystem that the tmp files get generated on is on it's own xfs partition mounted as /mnt/mythtv.
Programming :: Bash Command To Remove All Files Within A Specific Folder?
Oct 19, 2010I want to delete all files within a specific folder without actually deleting the folder, what is a good bash command for this?. I found this one but encountered some errors even though I am executing it within the specific folder:
useratdebian:/home/user/folder# find . -type f -exec rm -rf {} ;
[1] 5052
useratdebian:/home/user/folder# find: missing argument to `-exec'
[1]+ Exit 1 find . -type f -exec rm -rf
The command as it appears is:
find . -type f -exec rm -rf {} ;
how to delete only the files contained within the folder called "folder" for example?

View 9 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: C++: Macro Not Defined In Quotes?
Dec 12, 2009I converted my programming project over to autotools, which gives me a config.h file with all the cool definitions, like these ones:
Code:
/* Location of data files. */
#define DATADIR "/usr/local/share"
/* Define to the full name of this package. */
#define PACKAGE_NAME "lusus"
And naturally I think this is cool because then I can hardcore these into the binary. To my dismay, however, I discovered that the pre-processor does not do the text-substitution if the macro name is inside another quoted string.
Code:
// Prints out "/usr/local/share/lusus"
std::cout << DATADIR << "/" << PACKAGE_NAME << "
";
[code]....
This seems lame, because then this doesn't work:
Code:
CL_Image leaves_corner_tl(gc, "DATADIR/PACKAGE_NAME/img/leaves_corner_tl.png");
So, am I literally going to have to strcat DATADIR/PACKAGE with the other text every time I want to prefix DATADIR/PACKAGE_NAME onto another string?
Programming :: Getting Rid Of Quotes When Dragging A File Into The Terminal
Feb 18, 2010The following script will work when I type the path to the file I want to checksum, but not when I drag the file to the terminal because the linux terminal (unlike the Mac) automatically puts quotes around the file path, which causes an error. (Clarification: am referring to gnome-terminal. Thanks, GrapefruiTgirl.) I did not find anything in gconf-editor or anywhere else to alter this behaviour, and my post in Launchpad is unanswered so far. (the script in itself is not very useful, I just stumbled upon this error when experimenting with bash).
So, is there a workaround for stripping the quotes from the input, or can I configure the terminal to not quote the input when I drag a file into it (which I would prefer?)
I am currently logged in from Mac OS, but the question refers to ubuntu karmic with which I dual boot.
General :: How ToI Remove A Double Bootloader
Feb 27, 2010I am currently using Windows Vista and Linux Ubuntu (I'm not 100% sure which version).However, whenever I start up my PC, I get greeted to the HP BIOS screen, and then after that, I get the Windows Bootloader.Now, this is where things get interesting:If, on the Windows Bootloader I select Microsoft Windows Vista, it loads Vista.If I select Ubuntu on the Windows Bootloader, I get treated to a second bootloader (I assume the Ubuntu Bootloader).I'm wanting to remove one of the bootloaders (keeping Vista as my primary OS, but still having access to Ubuntu in the bootloader). As a result of this, which bootloader should I remove, and how would I go about removing such bootloader?
View 2 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Python - String To Omit The Single Quotes (')?
Mar 18, 2011After I assign a string to a variable, I know that the print function will remove the single quotes around the value, but is there a way to assign a variable without the quotes around the value? for example:
a = open('/usr/lib', 'r+')
b = f.read()
c = x.replace('.xx','yy')
d = ?
c returns the value with quotes around it print c returns the value without the quotes Is there a way to assign a new variable (d) which will equal c without the quotes? I need a new variable which has the quotes omitted because from there the script will take the value of the last variable (which is a path to a file), and tar up that file. It won't recognize the path to the file if the value has quotes around it.

View 7 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Double Data Type Mantissa?
Nov 23, 2010in c/c++, double is usually 8 bytes. It has a 52-bit mantissa (or significand, or base), an 11-bit exponent, and a 1-bit sign. My question is: is the mantissa a 52-bit integer? Or is the decimal point just after the first bit. Meaning: if the mantissa was 1000110011100011 (in binary) would that make the value of the mantissa (assuming the exponent was 0) 1000110011100011, or 1.000110011100011? (in binary)
