View 3 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Generating Files With Different Names At Each Loop In Fortran?
Nov 7, 2010I am trying to write a loop to open four main-data-files. At each open of the main-data-file, I want the loop to open another four sub-files and split the data from the mail-data-file according to the creteria and dump into the four files. When the loop goes to the second main-data-file, it shall generate another 4 sub-files with different file name. And the process goes on. That means I will have total of 16 sub files for the four main-data-files. Each four files from the 16 files shall have specific name on it. Based on the code which I given below, I would say when the file at UNIT=100 is opened, 4 new files needed to be opened as well. They are:
maximum_dist_001_064.dat
maximum_dist_065_128.dat
maximum_dist_129_192.dat
maximum_dist_193_256.dat
Programming :: Handle Files With Spaces In Their Names In Bash?
Apr 1, 2011*I'm using Ubuntu 10.10
My issue is I can't handle the files with spaces in their name, I've donde the below script to print each file found inside folder and subbfolders with "find".
I would like to "ls" to each file found with its complete path and with its basename too.
Code:
files=$(find . -type f)
for each in "$files"
do
ls -l "$each" # 1rst option I've tried to list with full path
ls -l "$(/bin/echo "$each")" # 2nd option I've tried to list with full path
ls -l "$(/bin/echo $(basename "$each"))" # 1nd option I've tried to list with it basename
[Code].....
How can I list "ls -l" in both cases (with full path and with basename) when there are files with spaces in their name?

Feb 28, 2011I am using CentOS 5.5 64 bit.
My work requires me to have a lot of postscript files. Hence i have elaborate names for easy identification. For example --- AP-1_Jul-Ctrl-noEqSA_bg25C_precip,U250-150_xy.ps. I am unable to open them using evince. I get a blank evince screen with loading written on it. The same file named as 1.ps opens in a jiffy. As of now evince quickly opens pdf files with long names. But i would not like to convert ps to pdf.
Even kghostview does not open these long-named files.

Jun 28, 2011An existing Windows 2003 Server hosts a WDS pxe role. A networtk shared directory provides some customized OS.
I have to migrate this server without altered the WDS directory. Is it possible to deal with this stack under Redhat with pxelinux ?
Actually, my tests are negative. But I definitively have to deal with as a requirement. Otherwise an update will be made for each alteration of the OS.
POC : Red Hat 5 64bits, Apache2, Samba3, pxelinux, tftp-hpa.
I had successfully boot a virtual pc under Red hat. But I'm alaways game over with the corporate OS. When I load a pxeboot.n12 file there is an invalid file or corrupt error. When I rename this file as pxeboot.0 (to use pxelinue) the next step is a boot menu. I load a BCD file but after a boot.ini file is required but not present. This file doesn't exits in the current directory.
