Programming :: Checking For Alphabets ?
Jan 25, 2010Code:
I am trying to do a search to check if the input is using alphabets and nothing else.
I tried using [[:digit:]] and [[:alpha:]] but none seems to work
When i use digit, it read 22.k as alphabet and not as a wrong syntax.
For alpha , it does not allow me to input data which has spaces such as " hello world".
Programming :: Using Expr Command To Read Values From Two Different Files?
Mar 20, 2011I have an assignment where I have to use an expr command to read values from File1.txt and File2.txtHeres the assignment:Create two files.File1 has one line with the value of 5.ile2 has one line with the value of 100.Edit your new file using Gedit or VI and change it so it performs the following actions:Read the values from the files above (file1 and file2)Divide the value from file2 by the value in file1.utput the result of this calculation to a new file called file3. My .scr file is week3prog3_george, in file1 I put var1=5, file2 is var1=20.Then, I put in my .scr file this:
#!/bin/bash
expr File2.txt / File1.txt
It returns an error message stating "non-integer argument."And...how do you point the .scr file to read values from two different files, and the book my school has provided does not contain the info I need.
Programming :: Data Validation - Input Contains Digits And Certain Alphabets
Apr 8, 2010I am having a huge problem checking the data I input to make sure it is correct. What I am trying to achieve is when I input a value, it will check if the input is all digits and if it is not, check to see if it contains certain alphabets. Thus for example, if I were to input in data such as "11A" , the program will then inform me "There is an important alphabet in the program." This would be my expected output. Here is the program I have wrote...
Code:
int test(string r ){ const int arraySize = 10;
char array2[arraySize2] ={'A','B','E','F','G','H','J','K','N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','W','Y','Z'};
for(int cntr = 0; cntr <r.length(); cntr++)
if(!isdigit(r[cntr])){ for(int new1 =0; new1<arraySize2;new1++)
for(int cntr1 = 0; cntr1 <r.length(); cntr1++)
if(array2[new1] == r[cntr1]){ return 2; //will return2 when it finds the same
// char in the array and the string r. } else{ return 3;
//will return 3 when there is a char
//in the string which isnt in the array
} } else { return 1; // will return 1 when string is all digit.
} int main() { string r = "11D"; test(r);
if(test(r) == 1) { cout << "ALL ARE DIGITS" << endl;
} if (test(r)== 2) {
cout << "There is an important alphabet in the program." << endl;
} if (test(r)== 3) { // testRoman(r);
cout << "There is an Alphabet in the String which is not in the Array" << endl;
} }
So, the problem I am facing is when I input in data such as 11 or A , the prog will come out the right input. But if I were to put in data such as "11A" , the output coming out will be "ALL ARE DIGITS". The problem which causes this seems to be in the return statement , as once as it finds the first char which is a digit, it will then return 1 and not continue checking the rest of the string. Is there a way I can stop or continue a loop if it has met the condition I stated? What I can do or any other way available for me to check my input?

Ubuntu :: Write A Base Script Which Will Divide An Argument By 10 And Then Use That Argument In Another Program?
Feb 23, 2010I'm trying to write a base script which will divide an argument by 10 and then use that argument in another program. Since my argument can be a floating point number, I used bc to accomplish this. Here's an example of a simplified version of what I have so far:

Programming :: C - User To Input The Name Of A File As An Argument
Aug 5, 2010Write a program that requires the user to input the name of a file as an argument. If the user fails to include one argument it should make use of a thread that handles a signal. The signal handler should tells the user Incorrect number of arguments and then calls the terminate signal on the process.
If the numbers of arguments are correct then the program should allocate memory space to the file (5MB) and create a child process that requests the user for a character that it should send to the parent. The child should keep request for data until the user keys in the character O. During each request it should pause for 10 seconds, send the character to the parent and then requesting again for another character.
The parent should get the character from the child. Do not make the parent wait for the child to finish requesting for data. Make use of pipes to facilitate communication between the parent and the child. A second child should be created to read and display data from the file. Make use of any appropriate Inter Process Communication technique to ensure that the second child and the parent do not access the file simultaneously (Mutual exclusion).

View 1 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Pass Complicated Commands As Argument To Another Script?
Apr 21, 2010I am attempting to script some tasks I have to do, but I have no control over one of the scripts I have to use... and they output all kinds of useless things on the screen. My goal is simple: Capture all output from their scripts, and create a progress line that only shows the most recent output from their stuff. So, here was my first solution; a file I called "spin":
Code:
#!/bin/bash
spinX(){
PROC=$1
STRT='date "+%s"'
while [ -d /proc/$PROC ];do
last3=" 'getLine $2' "
To use it, you pass it a process ID and a file that contains the output from that process. As the process continues, a kurby dances on the screen (To let you know that the process has not hanged), and the tail of the output is shown (To let you know what it is doing). When the process ends, the kurby stops dancing and the time it took is displayed.
And here is the file I call "noise":
Code:
#!/bin/bash
while [ i -lt 100 ];do
i=1
echo "Look at me count!$"
sleep 1
let "i=$i+1"
done
This does nothing but create random output, for testing. It counts from 1 to 99 on the screen. To run my test, I do the following:
Code:
(noise) &>tmp.txt & spin $! tmp.txt
It works relatively well, but it is messy. I don't like creating a temp file, and I don't like the messy syntax for calling my program. I decided that I would rather move everything into the spin program, to make using it less messy:
Code:
#Spin Psuedo code
#$1 = command I am about to run
(exec $1) &>tmp.txt & spinX $! tmp.txt
By executing the process inside of the spin code, I can get rid of the tmp file later on without changing a lot of scripts (Or move it, or whatever). I can also call it by passing the command to the script, which I find more elegant.
So here is what I would like to know:
1) If possible, I would love to get rid of the tmp file all together, and store the most recent line of output from script 1 into a variable that script 2 can print out instead... is it possible?
2) How can I run a random command that is passed as an argument? Basic ones work fine, but anything with a pipe fails me.
Example of a script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#myEcho.sh
echo;echo "Recieved command: ";echo $1;echo;
echo "Attempting to run command: ";echo
exec $1
Example code for passing commands to script:
> myEcho.sh "ls -al" #works
> myEcho.sh 'ls -al' #works
> myEcho.sh "ls -al|grep *.sh" #fail
# Output:
#ls: invalid option -- |
#Try 'ls --help' for more information.
> myEcho.sh "ls -al|grep "*.sh"" #fail
# Output:
#ls: invalid option -- |
#Try ls --help' for more information.
> myEcho.sh 'ls -al|grep *.sh' #fail
# Output:
#ls: invalid option -- |
#Try 'ls --help' for more information.
Programming :: Ssh Remote Command Preserve Quoted Argument?
Sep 17, 2009I have a python script on one server (serv_one) and I am trying to execute it remotely from another (serv_two). The python script takes an argument with spaces. If I execute it locally:
Code:
foo@serv_one> script.py --o "arg one"
"arg one" is preserved, of course. ( argv = [ '--o', 'arg one' ] )
However, when I execute it remotely:
Code:
foo@serv_two> ssh ... foo@serv_one script.py --o "arg one"
the double quotes around "arg one" are dismissed ( argv = [ '--o', 'arg', 'one' ]. I've tried many combinations of single quotes/double quotes/backslashes, etc, to no avail. One hack solution I came up with, since I have the flexibility, was to replace all spaces in the quoted argument with a character that would be invalid in the argument (before the ssh call), and replace those with spaces in script.py. I would probably like to avoid this solution if at all possible.

Programming :: Limit In Number Of Fields That Awk Can Handle
Mar 2, 2011I have a file with 200 000 lines and I want to append the fields of each line based on matching first field. The resulting file should have 70 000 columns but has "only" 18 000. The command I'm using is working perfectly with a smaller file, wich lead to 14 000 columns. Could there be a limit in number of fields that awk can handle ? Here's my awk command :
Code:
awk -F, 'END { for (k in _) print _[k] } { _[$1] = $1 in _ ? _[$1] FS $4 : $1","$4 } ' file > out
Also, this command writes ^M (windows line break) after each columns. Removing them is easy but where do they come from ? Working on Ubuntu 10.10
