Aug 3, 2011sed '/

sed: -e expression #1, char 10: extra characters after command
I want to understand what is wrong with my command line. When I can do the some of following in a script but not in a command line. I have been working through the tutorial at [URL]. When I got stuck at the section Working with Multiple Lines. These script works fine.
#!/bin/sh
sed '
# look for a "#" at the end of the line
/#$/ {
# Found one - now read in the next line
N
# delete the "#" and the new line character,
s/#
//
}' file
In my case I am looking for or return ^M.

sed '
# look for a "#" at the end of the line
/
$/ {
# Found one - now read in the next line
N
# delete the "#" and the new line character,
s/

sed '/
$/ {N s/
//}'
sed: -e expression #1, char 10: extra characters after command
sed '/
$/{N s/
//}'

Jul 14, 2010I've written myself a linux program "program" that does something with a regular expression. I want to call the program in the bash shell and pass that regular expression as a command line argument to the program(there are also other command line arguments). A typical regular expression looks like "[abc]_[x|y]".Unfortunately the characters [, ], and | are special characters in bash. Thus, calling "program [abc]_[x|y] anotheragument" doesn't work. Is there a way to pass the expression by using some sort of escape characters or quotation marks etc.?
(Calling program "[abc]_[x|y] anotheragument" isn't working either, because it interprets the two arguments as one.)

Feb 4, 2010I've downloaded a .htm file from the WWW which has the following few lines:
Quote:
<h1>
Latest Times as at: 4-Feb-2010 15:30 ${color3}${execi 1800 grep "Latest" FinishTimes.htm | sed -e 's/ in Tideda Files//'}

and in my Conky script I do this:
Code:
${color3}${execi 1800 grep "Latest" FinishTimes.htm}
but when it prints on the screen there is an empty box at the end of the line. I assume this a CR or LF that's attached to the end of the line, but how can I get rid of it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: KDE 4.4 - Compose Key And Special Characters
Feb 15, 2010I am trying to type German Umlaut letters on an English keyboard using kde 4.4. For some reason I seem unable to figure out how to do that (I have just recently switched to kde, was using gnome before). I have looked through various threads and the kubuntu wiki [URL], but can't get the compose key to work. In gnome I used to type "AltGr" plus "[" followed by a vowel and thus get my Umlaut - before I fiddled with the system settings this worked in kde, but only in firefox & Open Office (I assume they are gtk apps).
Since it did not work in Kmail, I went to the system settings, set up a ComposeKey (AltGr, but also tried rightWin), but it doesn't change anything for the kde applications. It only means that the old key-combination now stopped working in firefox and OO. In the system setting of kde 4.4 I can't see the options to enable xkb-options, but I assume the advanced options of the keyboard layout are xkb-options of previous kde releases. I unticked the box 'reset old options', but nothing changed. I type a lot of German text, so using a character map is not an option.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Left Shift Key Is Ignored For Some Characters
Jan 19, 2011I've been having a strange problem with my keyboard lately. certain characters aren't capitalized when I hold the left shift. Right shift covers these buttons, but then ignores some itself.I know that it used to be fine, as I set a password on my router with a capital letter which then did not work, and in my AWN terminal, I would use ctrl+shift+v to paste in lines of code.
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit, on a Compaq Altec Lansing.For a demonstartion, here is the alphabet as typed holding the shift keys.
Left Shift
ABcDEFGHIJKLmNOPQRSTUvWxYz
Right Shift
ABCDeFGHiJKLMNopqrSTuVwXYZ
Both Shifts

Ubuntu :: Rendering Of Characters In Firefox?
Jan 29, 2011I have a weird issue in Firefox on Ubuntu 10.10, and sadly it's a periodic mistake that I don't know how to initiate... Sometime in firefox some of the characters seems not fully rendered, and as I recall it can also happen in menu fonts sometimes. In the attached screen-shot you can see that it's the a character that has the problem - but only for one font type or? But I have seen this with most characters I think - and as stated this happens randomly.For instance right now I looked again in the tab in firefox where I just 5 minutes ago did the screen-shot and now all characters are correct?? I have tried to reload or even restart firefox when it occurs, but this is now guaranty for a solution... When it happens it makes many homepages unreadable

Feb 7, 2010I got a new computer yesterday, a 64-bit Asus.I replaced the power supply and the graphics card immediately. I booted the computer up with a spare 20"idescreen monitor on a portable desk to install Ubuntu and make sure all was well with the newly installed power supply and graphics card.It worked perfectly.I moved my old tower out from its slot under my desk and put the new Asus tower under there. I plugged it into my 23" widescreen monitor and booted the computer.Ubuntu (9.10) boots just fine... but the login screen is all boxes!! There are no characters, just little white boxes. I can put in my password and log in. Once logged in the system is fine - all characters display normally from within Ubuntu.
