For loop - coping with an asterisk item
How do you get a for loop to cope with one of the items being an asterisk?
for myResult in `echo "*"`
do
echo "$myResult"
done
The asterisk is returning a file listing in the PWD.
The same result can be got from:
for myResult in "*"
do
echo "$myResult"
done
How to I combat this?
Cheers.

Hey,
I am trying to compare formated login and logout dates from one user at a host which I have stored in a tmp directory in order to find out the total login time. I need to compare them in order to find overlapping intervals.
At first I tried to store each log in and logo date in an array... (3 Replies)

dahdi_test(8) System Manager's Manual dahdi_test(8) NAME
dahdi_test -- Test if the DAHDI timer provides timely response SYNOPSIS
dahdi_test [ -v ] DESCRIPTION
dahdi_test dahdi_test runs a timing test in a loop and prints the result of each loop. The test is as follows: It reads 8192 bytes from the DAHDI timer device (/dev/dahdi/pseudo). This should take exactly 8000 ms . It uses calls to gettimeofday(2) before and after that read to check that indeed exactly 8000ms have passed. Values of 100% and 99.99% Are normally considered a definite pass. Values of 99.98% and 99.97% are probably OK as well. OPTIONS
-v Be more verbose: print one line per test. -c count Run for count times instead of running forever. FILES
/dev/dahdi/pseudo The device file used to access the DAHDI timer. SEE ALSO
