Hi all,
Does anybody know or guide me on how to remove the first N bytes and the last N bytes from a binary file? Is there any AWK or SED or any command that I can use to achieve this?
Your help is greatly appreciated!!

I am creating ASCII file from Oracle procedure into Unix box.
I undertstand there is NO CRLF as I am writing it into one complete string .. but need to know what is best way to format the file with 80bytes per line only before handing over to another program.
Thanks in advance

Hi All,
I want to find zero byte files in the given folder for the given day.
I know we can use find . -size 0 -mtime 0
But is there an option for file creation.?
ls -lart | grep ' 0 Apr 24' will also work.
Also is there any alternative using awk ?

While running script I am getting an error like
Few lines in data are not being processed.
After googling it I came to know that adding such line would give some memory to it

Is that memory limit is based on RAM we have on... (1 Reply)
Hello guys. I really hope someone will help me with this one..
So, I have to write this script who:

hello,
suppose, entered input is of 1-40 bytes, i need it to be converted to 40 bytes exactly.
example: if i have entered my name anywhere between 1-40 i want it to be stored with 40 bytes exactly.
enter your name:

is there a better way to do this:
head -c 10000k /var/dump.log | head -c 6000k
unfortunately, the "-c" option is not available on sun solaris. so i'm looking at "dd". but i dont know how to use it to achieve the same exact goal as the above head command.
this needs to work on both solaris... (5 Replies)
A byte is the smallest unit of storage which can be accessed in a computer's memory- either in RAM or ROM.It also holds exactly 8 bits.But its old view one byte was sufficient to hold one 8 bit character.Modern days especially on .NET or international versions of Win 32, 16 bits is needed.

say that i have strings that end in "text"
foo.9.text, bar.10.text, baz.11.text
and i want a C function to chop off the last four characters and replace each string with a '\0'; obviously with error-checking. Any ideas?
TIA! (7 Replies)

pack_fopen_chunk
pack_fopen_chunk(3alleg4) Allegro manual pack_fopen_chunk(3alleg4)NAME
pack_fopen_chunk - Opens a sub-chunk of a file. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
PACKFILE *pack_fopen_chunk(PACKFILE *f, int pack);
DESCRIPTION
Opens a sub-chunk of a file. Chunks are primarily intended for use by the datafile code, but they may also be useful for your own file rou-
tines. A chunk provides a logical view of part of a file, which can be compressed as an individual entity and will automatically insert and
check length counts to prevent reading past the end of the chunk. The PACKFILE parameter is a previously opened file, and `pack' is a bool-
ean parameter which will turn compression on for the sub-chunk if it is non-zero. Example:
PACKFILE *output = pack_fopen("out.raw", "w!");
...
/* Create a sub-chunk with compression. */
output = pack_fopen_chunk(output, 1);
if (!output)
abort_on_error("Error saving data!");
/* Write some data to the sub-chunk. */
...
/* Close the sub-chunk, recovering parent file. */
output = pack_fclose_chunk(output);
The data written to the chunk will be prefixed with two length counts (32-bit, a.k.a. big-endian). For uncompressed chunks these will both
be set to the size of the data in the chunk. For compressed chunks (created by setting the `pack' flag), the first length will be the raw
size of the chunk, and the second will be the negative size of the uncompressed data.
To read the chunk, use the following code:
PACKFILE *input = pack_fopen("out.raw", "rp");
...
input = pack_fopen_chunk(input, 1);
/* Read data from the sub-chunk and close it. */
...
input = pack_fclose_chunk(input);
This sequence will read the length counts created when the chunk was written, and automatically decompress the contents of the chunk if it
was compressed. The length will also be used to prevent reading past the end of the chunk (Allegro will return EOF if you attempt this),
and to automatically skip past any unread chunk data when you call pack_fclose_chunk().
Chunks can be nested inside each other by making repeated calls to pack_fopen_chunk(). When writing a file, the compression status is
inherited from the parent file, so you only need to set the pack flag if the parent is not compressed but you want to pack the chunk data.
If the parent file is already open in packed mode, setting the pack flag will result in data being compressed twice: once as it is written
to the chunk, and again as the chunk passes it on to the parent file.
RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the sub-chunked PACKFILE, or NULL if there was some error (eg. you are using a custom PACKFILE vtable).
