Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting how can I write script that lets me run shell commands? Post 302068831 by thestevew on Tuesday 21st of March 2006 07:33:47 AM

How about ":!ksh ./yourscript" (without the quotes) to run the script yourscript in your current directory. When yourscript exits it will return to vi (you may have to press RETURN first).

Also, you can just do ":!ksh" to start a new shell for command input. When you've finished type "exit" or "CONTROL-D" to return to vi.

cheers

DBILOGSTRIP(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					    DBILOGSTRIP(1)

NAME
dbilogstrip - filter to normalize DBI trace logs for diff'ing SYNOPSIS
Read DBI trace file "dbitrace.log" and write out a stripped version to "dbitrace_stripped.log" dbilogstrip dbitrace.log > dbitrace_stripped.log Run "yourscript.pl" twice, each with different sets of arguments, with DBI_TRACE enabled. Filter the output and trace through "dbilogstrip" into a separate file for each run. Then compare using diff. (This example assumes you're using a standard shell.) DBI_TRACE=2 perl yourscript.pl ...args1... 2>&1 | dbilogstrip > dbitrace1.log DBI_TRACE=2 perl yourscript.pl ...args2... 2>&1 | dbilogstrip > dbitrace2.log diff -u dbitrace1.log dbitrace2.log DESCRIPTION
Replaces any hex addresses, e.g, 0x128f72ce with "0xN". Replaces any references to process id or thread id, like "pid#6254" with "pidN". So a DBI trace line like this: -> STORE for DBD::DBM::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x19162a0)~0x191f9c8 'f_params' ARRAY(0x1922018)) thr#1800400 will look like this: -> STORE for DBD::DBM::st (DBI::st=HASH(0xN)~0xN 'f_params' ARRAY(0xN)) thrN perl v5.16.3 2014-06-10 DBILOGSTRIP(1)
