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?
I have the following string 1524)), I want to get rid of the parentheses. I have tried SED and AWK without success.
The last I tried was: echo "1526))" | sed 's/)).*$//'
I have a folder of MP3s, where some have <artist>- <song> and others have <artist> - <song>. I wanted to make all of them say <artist> - <song>
The command that works for me was
for i in *[a-Z]-*; do mv "$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).
I see the function in tint2 source code, but I don't know the underline before a parentheses's meaning? _("Theming tool for tint2 panel") code...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.
I have a set of lines as ahown below:

I need to creates string suffixes out of a Reference string. for eg. suffixes of abcdefg will be
1)bcdefg
2)cdefg
3)defg
and so on...
create an array of pointers to point to the first few characters and then use that pointer to print the rest of the string.But when i print using the pointer i get GARBAGE values! shudn't std::cout<<ptr[w] print the string following the char it is pointing to? why do i get garbage values?
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.

I have the following two type of strings1: A/D2: A/C/DI am trying to write a subroutine to check whether all of the letters in string 1 appears in string 2. If yes, return true. If not, return false. In the above example, all the letters (A and D) in string 1 are also present in string 2, so I return true.

I'm writing a Nagios plugin to check our Oracle tablespaces and the output is given in one line like this: 1.04007771 TEMP 0 UNDOTBS1 .005340579 USERS 0 7 rows selected.

how many tablespaces there are so I'd have to check all databases and 'hardcode' the tablespaces in my script. Is there any way to 'automate' this knowing that 'rows selected' preceded by a number is always the last line and using a sort of counter to auto-adjust the number to put in the -e 's/ / /2' part?
