Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Sorting on length with identification of number of characters Post 302758507 by gimley on Saturday 19th of January 2013 11:36:51 PM

Many thanks it worked. However since GAWK under windows does not allow pipes, I had to create 3 scripts
one for processing count, the other for sorting and the third for printing out the count.
Desperate situations call for desperate measures. Any way in which I can handle pipes under windows.

DACS.JAVA(7)						  DACS Miscellaneous Information					      DACS.JAVA(7)

NAME

       dacs.java - DACS Java support

DESCRIPTION

       This document describes support for Java provided by DACS.

       To enable Java support, DACS must be configured using the --enable-java flag. It may also be necessary to specify the location of the Java
       commands and include files. See dacs.install(7)[1].

	   Note
	   Java support is currently very limited and should be considered experimental. It is currently only possible to call dacsauth(1)[2] and
	   dacscheck(1)[3] using the Java Native Interface (JNI) provided. The command line arguments to both of these commands are exactly as
	   documented in their manual pages. Each argument is passed as a String.

	   The code is not thread-safe and is probably not suitable for being called many times within a particular process due to assumptions it
	   makes about dynamic memory allocation.

	   There are no immediate plans to improve or extend Java support. Using the existing capability to build the JNI layer, however, it
	   should not be difficult for an experienced Java programmer to build upon the example Java code provided.

       With Java support enabled, building DACS will copy the JNI shared library and a .jar file to the library directory (default:
       /usr/local/dacs/lib), and the JNI include files to the include directory (default: /usr/local/dacs/include).

       The tools/java/jni distribution directory contains a simple script called javarun that demonstrates how to run dacsauth or dacscheck as a
       Java application. For example, to validate the Unix password for user somebody, run (as root):

	   ./javarun dacsauth -m unix suff -user somebody -prompt

DIAGNOSTICS

       The return codes are as documented in the command's manual page.
