Hi All,
I used this code to strip-off $-symbol from string values.
a="$980"
b="897"
a=`echo "$a" | sed 's/$/ /g'`
b=`echo "$b" | sed 's/$/ /g'`
echo "$a"
echo "$b"

80 and 897
it works when i use
a='$987'
b='890' (13 Replies)

I wrote myself a small little shell script to clean up a file I have issues with. In particular, I am stripping down a fully qualified host/domain name to just the hostname itself. The script works, but from a performance standpoint, it's not very fast and I will be working with large data sets.

math::symbolic::custom::base
Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base(3pm)
NAME
Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base - Base class for tree tests and transformations
SYNOPSIS
# Extending the Math::Symbolic::Custom class:
package Math::Symbolic::Custom::MyTransformations;
use Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base;
BEGIN {*import = &Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base::aggregate_import}
our $Aggregate_Export = [qw/apply_transformation1 .../];
sub apply_transformation1 {
# ...
}
DESCRIPTION
This is a base class for your extensions to the Math::Symbolic::Custom class.
To extend the class, just use the following template for your custom class:
package Math::Symbolic::Custom::MyTransformations;
use Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base;
BEGIN {*import = &Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base::aggregate_import}
our $Aggregate_Export = [...]; # exported subroutines listed here.
# Now implement the subroutines.
# Exported subroutine names must start with 'apply_', 'mod_',
# 'is_', 'test_', 'contains_', or 'to_'
# ...
1;
EXPORT
Uses a custom exporter implementation to export certain routines from the invoking namespace to the Math::Symbolic::Custom namespace.
But... Nevermind.
SUBROUTINES
aggregate_import
aggregate_import() is the only public subroutine defined by Math::Symbolic::Custom::Base and should only be called in BEGIN blocks like the
one shown in the SYNOPSIS above.
