Programming :: How To Write Using Fwrite Without Affecting Existing Content Of File?
Oct 30, 2010
How can I write to a file multiple times using fwrite without affecting the previous writes?The method shown below accepts a file name, buffer and offset. The method opens the file in reading/writing mode and writes the content of the buffer at offset.
I have a few partitions on my hard-drive, one for Ubuntu, one for Windows 7 and another for general data storage. When I installed Ubuntu, I was presented with a GUI which allowed me to easily reassign storage space from the latter two to create the former. Is there any way to get to something similar, from which I can adjust the proportions of the partition sizes, without affecting their content?
I need to install different version of Perl with needed modules to Test Run a perl script (ASSP) without affecting the existing one as the old version of Perl is buggy with seg fault.
My employer issues pdf files with everyones work schedules. I copy the content and save it as plain text in a file called unformatted (hope to be able to automate this step someday). Im working on a SED script that reduces unformatted to only display what I want to see and saves the result in a file Iïve named formatted. After that I have to manually copy formatted and save it with that days date as a filename e.g. 2011-02-25 or whatever day is scheduled in the pdf, for use on a mobile device (Nokia N900). I noticed that the date occurs on certain lines in the file so I added a line like:
sed -n 's/^Date: (201[1-9])/([0-1][0-9])/([0-3][0-9]).*/1-2-3/p' < unformatted >theDate That creates a file theDate with the date in it that I wish to use as the filename for this particular instance. So I would like to skip the file formatted all together and have the sed- script write to a new file using the content of the Date as a filename, but how do I make that happen? And of course it would be more elegant if I could skip the intermediate theDate file as well.
I wanted to copy one file to multiple new files. I have an idea to write a script and do the operation. But here i m looking for any particular command to do this operation.
go about developing this add-on. i am testing this on my xbmc-live set-up; i am fairly affluent in bash/ c but unfortunately i dont have experience with python.i trimmed the data using this bash 1-liner so the output looks like:
Now I want to append contents list2.cfg to list1.cfg(It ispposible using cat list2.cfg >>list1.cfg) but I want to check if content of (record) in list2.cfg is present in list1.cfg then dont append it otherwise append it.
i need to check group of URLs and there https requests from browser. Recently i got some command line web browsers to know the HTTPS status of the URL like curl, wget etc... Now all of i need to do is write a shell script. I will put all my URLs in a text file and my shell script should read each URL one by one and log the status along with the corresponding URL.
I a csv-file (A.csv) with a total of 4.600.000 lines. Thats to many and only a few is necessary. I have a txt-file with 150 lines (X.txt) (all lines is dataset from a mainframe and looks like abc.def.123.456. How do I remove lines from A.csv where none of the dataset from x.txt is present?
I'm woring on a personal research project and would like to know if there are lilypond parsers for python available or I'll have to create my own. Just in case you are wondering: I don't need to typeset the content of the lilypond file, just understand what's written in the file (what notes, what duration, when in time to play each one, etc).

If you have the value 100 in File1 and the value 5 in File2, how do you write a script to divide the 100 in File1 by the 5 in File2 in Linux Bash Shell?The operating system I am using is Ubuntu 10 and object is to write a script to accomplish this task.
I have ubuntu server 10.4 installed on an Intel SS4200-E, which I have configured without any RAID. This machine acts as a media server to another PC. The other PC runs Windows 7 Ultimate. I have 3 1TB hard disks connected to it, and the file system on all the 3 are NTFS. I have mounted the hard disks as ntfs. I have made the folders on all the 3 hard disks shareable. I have configured Samba to make the folders on the hard disks "visible".
The ubuntu machine is in a headless configuration (it doesn't have any VGA card where can connect a monitor). I can configured SSH on it, so I can use putty from the Windows machine to logon to the ubuntu machine, but it is text based only. I am able to see all the 3 disks from the Windows machine. I am able to read/write into 2 of the disks. I am able to read, copy and delete from the 3rd disk, but not write new content to it.
I have the following problem. I call a C++ program from a Java servlet by using Runtime exec. The OS is ubuntu and I use Netbeans 7.0 with Glassfish 3.1 web server.The program executes but it does not open and write into a specified file in a specified folder. The same C++ program compiled under Windows opens and writes this file.How can I solve this problem in Linux?
I'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:
Code:
Changing $files to "$files" eliminate these problems but causes that whole content of variable is treated as one string (one execution of loop).
I'm running a simple backup and log script that is cronjobed to run twice a day. So currently, when new data is added to the log, its added to the direct bottom of the log file. However, I would like to have it printed to the very top of the log. The code is attached, I can't quote it in here because I am a new user and the system thinks I have url's in it, when they are just paths.
I have to read files from a linux server. When I copy a file I receivce just a portion of the file I expected if the process generationg ths file is still writing it.
I read the file from a java apllication using SSH/SFTP. How can I detect if the file is still used by the writing process ?
I am having trouble getting some code to work. It takes an input file (csv) and converts it to an XLS. The problem is that I can't seem to get a header to be printed first...
Code: use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel; my $input = $ARGV[0];
I am a beginner with php ,trying to work my way through. I have a file to be written with particular indentation and by appending some special characters... this is the o/p file i wanted. could anyone please guide me as to how i can write it? code...
I'm writing output of top command to a file However since top does not provide time I would like to append the 'date' command and then write all this to a file.
I have 3 c files(one of them forks out 5 instances) all writing to one log file. Now to avoid the confusion of opening and closing in each application or instance and running into a situation of not having closed a file I decided to open and close the log file inside the log function for each write.
So what I do currently is fopen, flock, fwrite, unlock, fclose for each write. All the log messages from all the files get written fine and there are no errors but I see a performance hit. The applications talk to each other using SHM(shared memory). So when I try to set a timer and check number of messages lets say I get X messages. Each time I remove or add a log call the number of messages changes. When it is a 1 sec or 5 sec timer it doesnt make a very big diff..few hundreds but when I check it over a longer period..every log call added decreases 1000 messages in count. So I want to know what is an efficient way of implementing the custom log across the application.
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 want to close the program if the content of the file /tmp/file_name is 1 (just the number 1).
dont need to check all the time, just when start the program.
something like this:
Code: "read the /tmp/file_name" "check if the content of the file_name is 1" "if not, do something"
what i need is very simple to do in shell script:
Code: go=`cat /tmp/file_test` # "cat /tmp/file_test" read the content of the file_test if [ "$go" -eq "1" ]; then # if the content of the file_test is 1 echo "ok, ready to exit now"; # now i can put the exit command fi
