There is the Archive::Zip I think I can use with Perl 5.10 but I don't know how. I don't want to read or write any files, just zip something in memory, with best compression, like
$text = "this is a test";
$zippedtext = &Zip($text);
sub Zip {

I guess it's only a few lines.
I am trying to read a file character wise and trying to write the same character to another file. In this process, I unable to read and write white spaces successfully to the new file. The script reads the white spaces but while writing the white space is lost. The section of the code, is given below. Please advice how can i read and retain the white space while writing to a new file.
Code:
if [ -s f_test.txt ] && [ -f f_test.txt ]; then
echo "File Exists !!"
while read -n1 char; do

I'm not able to write to a file using my perl cgi script which is as fallows:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
print "Content-type: text/html
[Code]....
I am trying to read certain lines within a file and give the output of the certain lines that dont equal my value, I think showing you would be easier. There is multiples of these inside one file...
Code:
LV Name /dev/vg00/lvol1
LV Status available/syncd
LV Size (Mbytes) 300lable/syncd
[code]....
I want to read everything in the file, if the status is not available then it should display the name (directly above status). If they are all availbale then do nothing. I think I know how to do it which includes putting the info in string form and placing in hash but it is proving to be out of my skill range.
i am working on this thread: [URL] if it is better to open a file every time i need to write to it or should i keep a file open the whole time and when i am done with the script, close it and sendmail it out?
Or i just thought of this: i could keep concatenating to a string and just sendmail when done.
I don't understand the results of a simple performance test I ran using two basic scripts (running on a high end server):
perfVar.zsh :
#!/bin/zsh -f
MYVAR=`cat $1`
for i in {1..10}
[code]...
Performance test result:
> time ./perfVar.zsh BigTextFile > /dev/null
./perfVar.zsh FE > /dev/null 6.86s user 0.32s system 100% cpu 7.177 total
> time ./perfCat.zsh BigTextFile > /dev/null
./perfCat.zsh FE > /dev/null 0.01s user 0.10s system 91% cpu 0.118 total
I would have thought that accessing a VARIABLE was way faster than reading a FILE on the file system... Why this result ?Is there a way to optimize the perfCat.zsh script by reducing the number of accesses to the file system ?
Reading and writing text files in C?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like to write a program that can read every ethernet frame arriving on a specific hardware NIC, without a TCP/IP stack otherwise doing anything on that NIC. Likewise I want to be able to write out to that NIC. So every arriving ethernet frame, of all types, would be readable (probably one at a time to preserve frame boundaries). And every write of exactly that same data would send frames out. The data read and written would be the whole ethernet frame. The kernel would do nothing else with this data, but other NICs would still operate as usual.
What I would be doing is that on 2 separate NICs, copying frames from one to the other, as in bridging. But I would also be doing modifications per what my program needs to do (not at liberty to say what that would be). What facility would I need to be looking at to do this? There is no ethernet device file. Would raw sockets be able to do this? The programming language will be C.
I just want to read and write some values (integer) to my driver. I used put/get user but always getting errors.
driver
Quote:
int Wert;
static int device_ioctl(struct inode *inode, struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsinged long arg)
int ret;
[code]...
Quote:
int WERT
ret=ioctl(fd, SETIT, WERT)
ret=ioctl(fd, GETIT, WERT)
if i say in C++ WERT is 5 the value arg of the driver becomes 5 but not WERT the returnvalue of get and put user is -1 so it failed.
It it safe to read a shared integer while another thread is writing to it on a multicore system?

View 14 Replies View RelatedOn a Linux CD/DVD, there are compressed filesystem images for the live version for KDE or Gnome for example, but they have no extension, but they are clearly an image file ( compressed filesystem images for the live version before installation ) !!
I was wondering, How do I mount these compressed filesystem images, after I copy the ISO content of the CD/DVD on my system .... I want to edit some files or packages and make some changes, like if I want to customize a live version of gnome for example ! ... ( I know you might be tempted to tell me to use KIWI etc to customize etc ..... ) ... but I want to be able to mount the compressed file system image, then edit it for reading and writing while it is in a subdirectory on its own ... i want to open it ! ... is there a way to do this ??? ... these type of files have no extension ...
i can open this compressed filesystem image then to edit for read & write ... before I roll it back again ..... If and when I succeed .... what should I watch out for ? ... will the same compressed file image but slightly modified work again ?
PS. that same question could be kind of translated or be extended like : how do I use unionfs/squashfs programs on the command line to mount these image files with no extension for read & write mode ???

I'm reading "OReilly Learning Perl 5th Edition", and there are such words:Code:You can use an array element like $fred[2] in every place? where you could use any other scalavariable like $fred.At the bottom of the page, it explains the ? like this:Code:The most notable exception is that the control variable of a foreach loop, which you?ll see later in this chapter, must be a simple scalar.Since Perl has the save-and-restore mechanism for the control variable, why an array element can't be used as the control variable
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to read content of file to variable and use this variable in for loop. The problem is, when I have c++ comment style in file - /*. Spaces in line are also interpreted as separated lines.
For example:

Changing $files to "$files" eliminate these problems but causes that whole content of variable is treated as one string (one execution of loop).

I am trying to write a Perl script that can open a file, find text that appears between two identifying strings (for now, "start" and "end"), then modify that text by enclosing it between "term_" and "_term" . Since the identified strings vary, the replacement string becomes "term_$1_term". From looking at other threads in this forum I've been able to get as far as spitting out the modified terms using the following code:
open FILE, "start2.txt" || die ("Could not open file <br> $!");
$text = <FILE>;
while ($text=~ s/start (.*?) end//) {

The problem is how to get "term_$1_term" into the file in the same while loop, which I'm guessing would be some of variant of "$text=~ s/$1/$term/;" (which doesn't work as it stands).

How come dd gets slower after copying this 8GB file? What can I do about it?
I've been able to get access to our Netgear NAS, I can browse it, copy files etc. just fine. But I don't have "direct access" in as far as, Open Office won't open any files residing on the NAS, neither can I save directly to the NAS form a program and when I get a "Browse for File" form field on a website (eg attachments in GMail etc.), I can't browse to the NAS either. My XP box does do all of this, either through my mapped network drive or even through browsing the network. How can I make openSuse 11.2 use the NAS with my login credentials as if it was a local disk?

My main workstation incorporates a mixture of ext3, ext4, and NTFS partitions scattered across a number of hard drives. Several of the ext4 partitions are encrypted, and I intend to encrypt the rest of the Linux partitions in the near future.I run VMware workstation, with several Windows OS guests, including Win2K, WinXP and Win7. My Win7 VM is installed on a virtual hard disk, and that virtual hard disk is encrypted using VMware facilities.So this leaves me with a bunch of NTFS partitions that are not encrypted. These are physical partitions on a couple of different hard drives. The reason I have them is ancient and historical, and as I have upgraded my system over time I have maintained the architecture due to the extreme difficulty of rearranging Windows systems.I still need to maintain Win2K and WinXP support, and rearranging those virtual machines would represent a hideous nightmare for me; I really want to maintain the same hard drive partition architecture.But I want to encrypt the NTFS partitions, in a fashion that can be handled by any of the Windows operating systems, AND can be accessed for read and write from Linux.Is this possible? If not using Windows facilities (I don't think ntfs-3g handles encryption, and there are known backdoors in the Windows facilities anyway), is there any third party solution that would work? Would True Crypt do the job in a fashion that would permit access from all the various operating systems, as required? I do generally mount the NTFS partitions in whichever Windows VM is appropriate, then share them out via SMB, but there are circumstances (like when a VM is not running) where I will directly hit them from Linux. So, it is possible for me to contemplate a solution that only works from Windows, but this would cost me the ability to repair/modify those filesystems directly from Linux, which under certain circumstances (a malfunction of the VM, for instance) could be a problem.
