Software :: Vim Text Change Command Including X Character

Jun 18, 2011

In Vim, I can change the text up until the next instance of "X" using this command:
Code:
cfX
The problem is that it includes "X". What if I want to change until, but not including, "X"?

Programming :: Sed To Change Character In Text File Only Once?

Sep 7, 2009

I have a script that looks like:

Code:

cat servers.txt
trivia:P:N
trivia:D:N
tucana:P:Y

[code]....

I want to be able to find the lines that matches my input and change the N to a Y, but only for the lines that matches the name and not any other N's My problem is the line does not always contain a P as it can be a D as well so my matching did not work. If my script issues the name $1=triva the lines will change to:

Code:

trivia:P:Y
trivia:D:Y

I have the following code so far but as you can see it does not change the D's

Code:

sed -i 's/trivia:P:Y/trivia:P:N/g' servers.txt

*** UPDATE ***

should I be using a method as follows? I am still stuck on the changing all instances though.

Code:

$1=server
sed -i 's/$server1:P:Y/$server:P:N/g' server.txt
sed -i 's/$server1:D:Y/$server:D:N/g' server.txt

OpenSUSE :: Copy - Paste - KMail - Not Only The Marked Text Will Be Pasted But A Kind Of HTML Code Including The Text

Jan 10, 2011

since some days I have a strange problem with KMail (1.13.5) in KDE4.5.5. When I try to copy some text from an email and past it to any other program (e.g. Openoffice), not only the marked text will be pasted, but a kind of HTML code including the text.

This bug is not OpenSuse specific. I found the same bug in a Fedora mailing list (of course, whithout an answer): Strange Copy/Paste behavior in KMail 1.13.5/Kontact 4.4.8

Programming :: C++ Character Search In Text File?

Jun 23, 2011

Im trying to read a file in c++ and search for particular character for example if this is a list that I have:

Alice
Bob
David

[code]....

if the input is D, it should give David, if its B, gives bob. so in this case, meaning it reads the first character of every line. but if possible I want to make this dynamic so the user can specify which character position he is looking for, so in case he is looking for R as character index 3 in all lines, it should give Charlie. but the problem is, it does now recognize , besides, I do not know how to specify the character position in each line.

here is my code

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstring>

[code]....

General :: Insert Character Code Into Text Editor?

Aug 11, 2010

I need a lightweight GUI text editor on my Ubuntu Lucid system which lets me specify a Unicode code point (e.g. U+1234), and inserts that character to a UTF-8 text document. I know that gedit can't do it (not even with the Character Map plugin).

I'm not interested in solutions involving any kind of emacs or vi. I'm also not interested in text editors running in the terminal (such as joe, which has this functionality). I need the absolute simplest, smallest and fastest plain text editor for Linux which lets me type a few letters, insert a few characters by their code, type some more letters, and then save the .txt file as UTF-8-encoded.

General :: Command Line - SSH To Server Without Including Username In URL On Unix/Mac

Sep 8, 2011

I am trying to ssh into my server from the command-line without including the username in the url. I do not want it to send any username, as it currently takes the active account and sends that as user.ex:

ssh server.com -> (doesn't send default username)

instead of [URL] I would want to input username directly into the server, just like it is done using putty on windows. he wants to be prompted for a username, rather than having to provide one when connecting - but I don't really see the utility in such a thing. - birryree Sep 8 at 17:41

Software :: How To Change Character Set

Oct 10, 2010

My distribution is CentOS 5.5, I installed Oracle 11g and create an instance setting its character set as AL32UTF8. The problem is the message from oracle cannot be shown correctly,

Like this:
ORA-00942: ?

I guess that maybe the characterset of my CentOS differs from what oracle uses.

So i turned to /etc/sysconfig/i18n and found:
LANG="zh_CN.UTF-8"

So i changed contents of i18n to:
LANG="zh_CN.AL32UTF8"

But still cannot solve the problem. Maybe my linux don't know what AL32UTF8 is?

Fedora :: Change XFCE4 Character Encoding?

Jun 28, 2009

I am experiencing some difficulties accessing some of my drives which have folders/files whose names include special characters. That problem has appeared just now, in Fedora 11, and just in XFCE4 (it somehow got stuck with the English default). In neither GNOME nor KDE happens.

The problem is not narrowed down to Thunar because even the terminal fails to recognize the special characters in XFCE4.

I guess that is simply solved by editing some configuration file, but I can't seem to find it.

What do I need to do to allow XFCE4 recognize special characters?

EDIT: It's definitely XFCE4, because if I open Thunar or xterm from GNOME, they recognize special-characters-filenames very well.

Fedora :: Change Character Encoding In Either 12 Or PCBSD?

Feb 10, 2010

I have two machines in a local network and want to share files among them. Since I don't want to bother configuring NFS right now I am using ssh and scp to transfer files among them. There is a little problem though: the machines have different *nixes. One machine has Fedora 12 (Spanish) and the other one has PCBSD 7.1.1 (English).The problem is that both machines have different character encoding and while the Fedora machine can perfectly handle names with special characters, the BSD machine can't and in fact upon doing ssh to the Fedora machine filenames (with special characters) appear wrong and prove difficult to work with.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Change File Names To Remove Invalid Character

Apr 1, 2009

I am trying to copy a large number of files from a Linux server to a Windows file share. Unfortunately, all of the files and folders I have to copy have 10 numbers followed by 2 colons "::" in the name (example: 1234567890::WordDoc.doc) which of course is invalid in windows naming conventions. So now I'm trying to come up with a way to change the file and folder names on the fly to replace the colons with a dash "-" or space " ". I'm even willing delete the frist 12 characters in necessary. I have tried cp, mv, tr, and several -bash scripts but get no positive results.

Ubuntu :: Frozen Panel - Messing Around With The Alternate Character Panel App And Made A Custom Character Set

Jun 12, 2011

I was messing around with the alternate character panel app and made a custom character set. I then wanted to put it on a new panel and created a new panel. I moved the character set to that panel, and then started to mess around with the panel settings (auto hide, show hide buttons, and expand, to be specific.) So far so good, until I moved the panel from the right side of the screen to the top. I already had a panel here, and it seemed not to like hiding a panel when there was already one on the top.

When the new panel hid itself, all my panels stopped responding (any clicks on them did nothing) and my processor started going at 100%. I tried a reboot and the only thing that changed is that now I can't even see my panels. I'm guessing I need to change the settings back manually through the prompt, but I don't know how to do that. I am using 10.04 and have not upgraded gnome since upgrading to 10.04.

The machine is to be completely controlled by voice and would be programmed to issue vocals in response to vocal requests for what is in the various databases and I/O software, such as motion control and other sensor subsystems. In other words, a program that lends itself to AI robotics.I do not have the time to develop CMSphinx, and I am willing to pay.

Fedora :: Can't Change The Resolution Of Text Console On 13

Aug 8, 2010

I have install Fedora 13 on my machine (Intel 815 Chipset with graphic card of nVidia GeForce 256), but the default resolution of text console wound have be about 1024x768. I intend this machine as a simple samba server (without X Window), so just a low-resolution monitor will work with it. However, this monitor can't work with the resolution higher than 800x600, I have to change the resolution lower. I have searched the solutions for this problem on Google. Most of them thought I should fix /boot/grub/grub.conf, append "vga=769", "vga=771" or even "vga=ask" to the end of the line start with the word "kernel". I have tried but all of them doesn't work. Just like Fedora 13 use the value from the other configure file overwrite the one list in grub.conf. As everyone knows, if I installed and launched X Window on my machine, I could query and change the resolution with command "xrandr". Are there some similar ones that can work on text console?
