Programming :: SED Assistance: Add Character In The Middle Of A String?

Oct 20, 2010

I have a folder of MP3s, where some have <artist>- <song> and others have <artist> - <song>. I wanted to make all of them say <artist> - <song>

The command that works for me was

for i in *[a-Z]-*; do mv "$i" "`echo $i | sed 's/-/ -/g'`"; done

but if I -hadn't- used ls with my parameters to filter out the valid results, how would I have done this with sed? I got close with:

ls | sed -e 's/(.*)[a-Z]-(.*)/1 - 2/'

but with the above I lose the [a-Z] character that I used to match with (and I need to keep that).

Programming :: Why String In The Middle Surrounded By Parentheses And Preceded By An Underscore

Mar 23, 2011

I have been reading through C source code to try to improve myself. In the coreutils source code, there are often function calls like so:

Code:
fprintf (stderr, _("Try `%s --help' for more information.
"), program_name);

Why is that string in the middle surrounded by parentheses and preceded by an underscore?

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 :: Scipting Assistance To Search For Servlets In Xml File?

Jul 18, 2011

We're migrating from Tomcat on Linux to Glassfish on Windows and I'm trying to make it easier to find the servlets that we don't currently have implicitly mapped in the Tomcat web.xml files for contexts. What I've done is copy all our contexts to a temp directory and written a script so that I can loop through each context, find the files that are not mapped inside a package then check if the java file is a servlet or not. From there I store each java file that matches, strip off the extension and then search in the context web.xml for a match then output to the screen.

The problem that I'm running into is that I know there are class files that should be returned and yet they are not being displayed. I'm not a Linux guy, so I'm just looking for a little help to see if I'm missing something obvious. I've attached the code for the script below.

Code:
# for all contexts
for context in `ls "/var/tomcat/temp/script/" | grep -v servletmap.sh`
do
echo $context
# for all java files without a package

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.

So if I'm given a location of a file like:

How can I just take the type of the file at the end? I know I can use strrchr() for a period to get the pointer to the period just before file type. Is there a build in string function that will just take the rest of the string from a certain point on forward in the string? I know it wouldn't be much work to make it myself, but I figured I would find out if it already existed before doing it.

Debian Programming :: Trigger Interrupt With Middle Mouse Button In Terminal

Ctrl-c with middle mouse button (MMB) trigger in running bash script trigger.

The key combination Ctrl-C or "^C" with the keyboard triggered on a running bash script stands for "signal interrupt" (SIGINT) and terminates the process.

For my workflow in the test phase, how I could do that with the MMB-Buffer, followed by the modified script command:

Code: Select allscript runs
script runs

Signal interrupt and rerun with MMB trigger:
