I appreciate the feedback. I know what you mean by people trying to reinvent the wheel, it's hard to stop them once they´re convinced their idea is the solution they should go for. But if they don't...

Ok I´ll drop an example to illustrate the sort of data we would be looking after.

With each occurence of Record_key_1 identifying a new object, all subsequent records referring to that object...

It all comes down to what kind of program you want to be running based on your output from awk. If you want to do something simple, like one basic command to run for each output line, then you could...

All fields are delimited by a pipe character.

C/C++ should be fastest, however I was considering Perl or any variant given the data structure and the fact we´re on a Redhat machine.

Hi,

We need to produce a XML file based on a record/field delimited data file. At this point we could just script something out but I would like to ask the community what would be the best choice...

Thanks, I´ll use that and check the logs tomorrow (process runs at 05:30), alt on monday if it can give me the name of the process. Awesome idea. ´ll let you know if it gave me the answer I´m looking...

We don't use any other scheduler that I know of. About domains, I meant filesets. We call them "domains" hence my initial formulation.

I looked into auditing and such, we have no auditing rules...

Hello,
We have a process on our Linux RedHat machine creating symbolic links and moving around some files from domain to domain. The issue is that the programmer has left a long time ago and nobody...

We´ve also had problems with 3.5-4GB tar files on Windows 32-bit systems so that's definately something we need to simulate before going for it. One of the main problems is that it takes so much time...

Thanks for replying. So something like TAR everything and ZIP the single file. Alright, that's one thing I haven't tested yet. I assume this 7zip tool can be imvoked as part of an automated process....

Hello,
Our system on a Redhat platform is generating ZIP archives that we then send to another system on a Windows machine. I have no issue generating a ZIP file containing up to 2GB worth of data...

Hi,

I am trying to perform a simple soustraction between two floating numbers and cannot get it done for some reason due to the use of the sub command.

The following is the straight-forward...

Sorry for misunderstanding your point, I had my head around so many things that I missed it completely...

What you posted seems to work and performance is similar to my alternative solution using...

Hmmm first of all I have strong doubts about the performance of the while read loop, secondly the cat command will give me a corrupted file since the file is not ASCII encoded which will make most...

Hi,

I am performing a tail command on EBCDIC coded files and am getting the following error message when I try to process very large files.


tail: There is not enough memory available now.

Hi,

We are trying a few things on our new RHEL machine and I noticed some strange behaviours happening in awk.
We are using the swedish locale sv_SE.iso88591, where you have three additional...

Cheers for the reply

As we are moving all our scripts to the Solaris platform we are mostly looking for a way of setting up the environment in a way the original scripts (like the command I wrote...

Hello,


HP Alpha Tru64

Hello,

Is there any good way of replicating the effects of the Tru64 sort -A command on a Solaris machine?

We use sort -A to ignore the locale settings causing files to be sorted differently...

This file cannot be converted to ASCII so I have to treat it as EBCDIC from start to the end.

Hello,

I am trying to insert a line in an EBCDIC encoded file.
I intend to translate my ASCII line into EBCDIC, then use awk to insert this line into my file after it found a known EBCDIC...

Hi

Is there any way I could reproduce the following code in perl 5.8:


sort -u FILE | sort -t: -k1,1 -k2n


which sorts by unicity first, then by first key, then by second key in numeric...

Thanks for the insight :b:

Hi,

I am having trouble using the result of the following awk command in a script, as displaying the contents of the placeholder automatically replaces the new created TAB by a space character...

Which is basically what pludi's solution #2 is about.
Works like a charm, although performance is a bit bad, but I still buy it.

Thanks for all the help guys
