Sorry if it came across as accusatory, that was definitely not my intent. I was merely asking whether the commands worked on your systems, because I thought it interesting that the same commands that...

I'm using bash on Linux (Fedora Core 2), but it also happens on Sun Solaris 8 with the tcsh shell.

going into and exiting vi doesn't work for me. Neither does "tput reset", "reset", or "tset"

Do these commands actually work for you guys?

I found this bizarre solution somewhere on the net,...

xrefresh is a no-go, but it does make the screen flash for a nanosecond :)

I've used *nix systems for some time now and have frequently seen a terminal turn to gibberish after using cat or more on a binary file. I'm sure many others have also noticed this. Normally, I just...

excellent, the solution in your edit works great

thanks OP

anyone know if there is a way to use an array in a regular expression. suppose i want to find out if $sometext contains one of an array's elements. Obviously the code below doesn't work, but is there...

now, this is bizarre!!! have i gone insane or is 32.2-29.2 not equal to 3.0????

code:
################################
#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w

$slice_thickness = 3.0;

if (31.2-28.2 ==...

here is my output:

1 => Current: 101.2 Last: 101.2 Last - Current: 0 Slice Thickness: 3
1 => Current: 98.2 Last: 101.2 Last - Current: 3 Slice Thickness: 3

i've reworked some code from an earlier post, and it isn't working as expected

i've simplified it to try and find the problem. i spent hours trying to figure out what is wrong, eventually thinking...

#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w

@array = (qw /-20 -17 -14 -11 -8 -5 -2 -6 -3 0 3 6 9 12 15 18/);
# i want 18 15 12 9 6 3 0 -2 -5 -8 -11 -14 -17 -20
# because i can't have intervals greater than 3

i'm halfway into my script and realize i may need to use an associative array (a hash, i guess they are called in Perl). i'm fairly new to Perl and don't know how to use them correctly.

i have...

I would like to see what a command is doing. For example, say I move 10 files using mv * somedir. Can I use some other command to see a verification of each files movement. Like:

file1 moved to...

you people rock! i think both ways work, but i used criglerj's way with the heads-up about removing the asterisks. man, you guys have saved me untold amounts of time. i have spent the past week and a...

oombera:
i couldn't get that to work. i played with it for a while with different results. i'm not sure of the use of:
mv $i `dirname $i`'/xyz'

i did this:
................
for i in `find ....

i tried the following:

.............
#!/bin/ksh
for i in `ls`; do
if [ -d $i ]; then
echo $i | grep -q "*/*/*DUAL*
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
mv $i fse
fi
fi
done

all the dirs are "forked" off from each other. there are no directories that contain more than one directory with the same pattern (i hope that makes sense). i understand your point, and i hadn't...

i have hundreds of directories that have to be renamed. the directory structure is fairly uniform which makes the scripting a little simpler.

suppose i have many directories like this */*/*/*abc*...
