Programming :: Using Eval To Remove Backslashes?

Jun 21, 2010

I am using bash. My question is :

Code:
eval echo \h
eval echo \h
both give output as h, but
Code:
eval echo \\h
gives output as h Why ?

Does eval here just remove backslashes (I know the use of eval in the case where substitutions occur)

Programming :: Perl - Escape All Backslashes In A String Without Specify Each One ?

Sep 27, 2010

I want to read a input from user and output something like 'inputcd', which has to escape all backslashes if using double-quote. For instance, the following code would work.

Just curious if any other way I could do it without specify all backslashes? Since that takes much efforts when the sequence is long.

Programming :: Using Eval In Bash?

Nov 23, 2010

Having a problem with an unwanted redirection in in a function call. Although this isn't the function it does illustrate the problem:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
doat () {
ALL="sys1 sys2"
for Sys in $ALL;do
echo "---> $Sys <---";
echo $(eval echo $1);

[Code]...

figure out how to get the variable into the command without outputting to the file in the eval statement? So that ssh line that gets executed would look like the following to each iteration of the for loop:

Code:
ssh root@$Sys rpm -qa|sort > /trans/${Sys}-rpm-list.txt;
doat works when the incoming argument doesn't have any redirection in the command.

Programming :: Effect Of Using Eval To Execute A Command As Opposed To Writing It On The Command-line?

Jun 18, 2010

Code: cmd='date | wc'

$cmd If this script is executed, an error is generated. The reason written was that "The execution fails because the pipe is not expanded and is passed to date as an argument".What is meant by expansion of pipe. When we execute date | wc on the command line, it goes fine.then | is not treated as an argument. Why?

Programming :: Conversion From Infix To Postfix And Compilation Of Postfix For Eval

May 11, 2010

I was trying to write a graph plotting program with c++. I need to convert the infix expression from user to postfix expression for quick evaluation. However, the evaluation of postfix is kind of interpreted, and thus kind of slow for evaluating huge number of values. Say if I plot an implicit function the penalty is quite huge. Is there a way that I can compile the infix expression from my running graph plotting application for high speed evaluation.

Software :: How To Find And Replace On All Backslashes

Feb 8, 2010

I'm in the middle of a data migration project and I have a text file where the data in one of the fields contains a "" at the end of each line. I know how to do a find and replace on ALL backslashes using something like this:
Code:
:%s/\//g
The above example would replace all backslashes with nothing, effectively "removing" them. Does anyone know how I can apply a similar function that only removes the backslashes that exist at the end of a line?

Programming :: Gc-sections Remove All Function Not Used?

Nov 18, 2010

This is my file, named xxx.c. And there are two functions in it.

[code]...

When I try to compile the whole project, I used -ffunction-sections,-fdata-sections to generate the .o files, use Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--print-gc-sections to link to the exacutable file. gcc 4.3.2 ld 2.18 Debian 5 After the first time I compiled it, I got a list of Removed functions. But one second later, I rememberd that I forget to close the Compile Switch: Debug. Then I had to recompile it and got another list. Compare these two lists, I found that , bxx isn't on the second list. First I guess that bxx is a debug function but never used in debug mode, and it won't be compiled in release mode. I check the source and find that there was no compile switch for bxx. But it's caller function axx, is removed, both the debug switch is on and off. I try to compiled the project for several times , but the result is the same. I can't realized it , why? Is that the --gc-sections won't remove all the functions not used?

Programming :: Remove Characters From Within Variable

Feb 20, 2011

I am doing a mysql query with a bash shell script like:

echo $line

So when I echo the value of $line I get:
word
magandang umaga
"word" is the name of the row in the table and maganda umaga is a randomly selected choice from the row. Is there a way i can remove the name of the row from the variable $line. With a result that will allow me to echo $line and output only the randomly selected entry in from the row e.g. magandang umaga

Programming :: Remove Duplicate Entries On A Row?

Nov 1, 2010

we have a variable LIBS:

LIBS='-lpq -lmysqlclient -lssl -lpthread -lresolv -lssl -lpthread -lresolv'

I'd want to get:

LIBS='-lpq -lmysqlclient -lssl -lpthread -lresolv'

Bear in mind that LIBS can be variable, I mean I need to drop any duplicate and only retain the last one of each different entry. And we must keep the order as is, I must not sort out them.

So, if LIBS is:

LIBS='-lpq -lmysqlclient -lpthread -lresolv -lpthread -lresolv'

I need: LIBS='-lpq -lmysqlclient -lpthread -lresolv'

Programming :: Remove The Last Character From Variable

this would remove the Last character of the value assigned to the %host%. for example if my value is: abcd i get abc. but i am not able to assign the output. for example when i do

set k=`echo %host%|sed "$s/.$//"`

after doing echo %k i get no output at the command prompt...!! whereas when i just type:

Quote:

echo abcd|sed "$s/.$//"

at the command prompt i get abc. maybe some other ways to Remove the Last character...?
