Full Discussion: Copying lines from fileA if they start by a word from fileB
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Copying lines from fileA if they start by a word from fileB Post 302318909 by FrancoisCN on Friday 22nd of May 2009 04:03:11 PM
Old 05-22-2009
I have a similar thing I need:

I have a fileA with the following format
word(s) ||| word(s) ||| number
word(s) ||| word(s) ||| number
word(s) ||| word(s) ||| number

and a fileB which is just plain text. I want to copy into fileC the lines from fileA where the first word or sequence of words (everything before the first ||| delimiter) exists anywhere in the fileB.

For example if I have

abc def ||| foobar ||| 123

I want to copy the line only if fileB contains "abc def", not just abc.

glsamplemaski

GLSAMPLEMASKI(3G)						   OpenGL Manual						 GLSAMPLEMASKI(3G)

NAME

       glSampleMaski - set the value of a sub-word of the sample mask

C SPECIFICATION

       void glSampleMaski(GLuint maskNumber, GLbitfield mask);

PARAMETERS

       maskNumber
	   Specifies which 32-bit sub-word of the sample mask to update.

       mask
	   Specifies the new value of the mask sub-word.

DESCRIPTION

       glSampleMaski sets one 32-bit sub-word of the multi-word sample mask, GL_SAMPLE_MASK_VALUE.

       maskIndex specifies which 32-bit sub-word of the sample mask to update, and mask specifies the new value to use for that sub-word.
       maskIndex must be less than the value of GL_MAX_SAMPLE_MASK_WORDS. Bit B of mask word M corresponds to sample 32 x M + B.

NOTES

       glSampleMaski is available only if the GL version is 3.2 or greater, or if the ARB_texture_multisample extension is supported.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if maskIndex is greater than or equal to the value of GL_MAX_SAMPLE_MASK_WORDS.
