Hi,

use find - you can traverse your directories with it, and even start your conversion per each file found. There are more efficient methods, but this depends on the amount of the files you...

First of all, as mentioned in the "Edit" part of my last posting, my solution does not provide a proper answer to the original question - the requirement was to number sequentially (1,2,3...) the...

Hi!

Still :-) one way to skin the cat:sed -n "/^$/ ="pen

Hi!

Well, the space character is lurking there again when running xargs. You should loop over the file names as methyl proposed earlier.

Excellent! I figured there should be something more straightforward way of assigning, but forget to mention it in my posting. One does learn something new everyday, right? :-)

Works (almost) fine in bash, too. But I don't understand the use of the sleep command as a background process. Furthermore, the "done" messages caused by returning sleeps disturb the display :-(

I'm still not sure I understood you correctly, but given that E contains the extension
for F in $Paytos; do
ls ${F}.$E
done

One more to go - why use printf?
for f in $(seq 1 10); do echo -n $f; done; echo

Hi!

Here's one a bit more generic solution using bash's array capabilities:
declare -a A; export A
FOO="one two three four"
IND=0
set $FOO #break up the string
while test ! -z $1
do

Curly brackets separate the variable name from other text surrounding it. Eg.
echo ${foo}barmeans fetch variable foo's value and append it with text bar. Without curly brackets the shell would be...

Umm, I have never heard of '<' operator for test command, test being synonym for '['. If you (according to your comment in the code) want to check that you are not comparing a file against itself,...

Hi!

You need to replace the single quotes with double ones, ie. ' => ". Otherwise the alert variable won't get expanded properly.

Um, you can't use a file descriptor that does not exist (hopefully you have prepared your C code better :-)

As mentioned earlier, you should create a FIFO (a special file). Have a look at mknod's...

Um, yes and no :-) Firmware is a piece of software for different kind of peripherals (routers, switches, ...). Microcode goes into the CPU, providing a slightly higher level or more complex...

Hi!

The END part (actually, END{...}) marks to code that will be executed when all input has been handled. To be exact, END is a special pattern known to awk, matching end-of-file.

Hi!

There are actually two errors in your script:


testing a variable doesn't work that way. You have to use test - external or built-in, I don't remember how this is in ksh - hence, I'll...

I'm afraid that won't give the answer. How about adding to arr[$1] - like
arr[$1] = arr[$1] + $3 instead.

Hi!

I rekon you are missing histexpand option in your SHELLOPTS variable. The command you are looking for is
set -H

As histexpand is on by default, you should have a look at /etc/bash.bashrc...

NFR contains the number of fields read so far. In pseudo code:


loop: if NFR equals to 1 then
line1 = line_we_just_read
goto loop

Why not just
chmod 777 *.mp3?

there are two errors.


the for i part would only go through the filename, not the contents of...

Hi!

Just one tiny comment: you can use one single date command in order to form the filename:
date "${base}%Y%m%d.${suf}" Also, echo command does not require sitation marks.

You have ”dirty” filesystems, meaning you should run fsck against them. Normally this is done during the startup, but for a reason or another the system has failed to do so. Normally this situation...

JerryHone gave you an excellent background pack of information; here's a practical (but perhaps clumsy, a sort of quick-and-dirty-and-don't-tell-your-mama) example.
