Bash: Reading out rows of a file into a dynamic array and check first literal
Hello,

i have a file "Movie.ini" looking e.g. like follows

* MOVIE A
bla bla
MOVIE B
blubb blubb
MOVIE C

I'd like to read the file "Movie.ini" with cat and grep and check whether it includes the string MOVIE only with a '*' at the beginnig.

By doing
"cat Movie.ini| grep MOVIE >> tmp_MOVIE "
all rows containing MOVIE should be saved in a tempfile

* MOVIE A
MOVIE B
MOVIE C

I have following problem, since I just know a bit ksh but not bsh:

1. How can I read out the rows of the file "tmp_MOVIE" in a VARIABLE long / dynamic allocated array? (Since there is NOT a fix number of rows containing the string MOVIE - it can be 3, 5 or e.g. 20)
2. How can I check the first literal of an array-element whether it is a '*'?

Thanks a lot for any helpful answer

cat -n and grep

I am not sure if using cat -n is the most efficient way to split a file into multiple files, one file per line in the source file. I thought using cat -n would make it easy to process the file because it produces an output that numbers each line that I could then grep for with the regex "^ *$i".... (3 Replies)

swf

SWF(3pm)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						  SWF(3pm)

NAME

       SWF - an autoloadable interface module for Ming - a library for generating ShockWave Flash format movies.

SYNOPSIS

	       # Don't import other modules
	       use SWF;

	       # import all SWF modules
	       use SWF qw(:ALL);

	       # import SWF::Shape and SWF::Movie only.
	       use SWF qw(Shape Movie);

DESCRIPTION

       By default, SWF doesn't import other SWF classes. You may, however, instruct SWF to import all modules by using the following syntax:

	       use SWF qw(:ALL);

METHODS

       SWF::setScale($scale);
	   Sets scale to $scale.

       SWF::getScale();
	   Get the current scale. 20 means 20 twips (1/20 of a pixel) and is the default value.

       SWF::setVersion($version);
	   Sets SWF version for the header of flashfiles. Choose a value between 4 and 7 for your flashmovies. If you are unsure take 5.

       SWF::setCubicThreshold($num)
	   Sets the threshold error for drawing cubic beziers.	Lower is more accurate, hence larger file size.

       SWF::setSWFCompression($level);
	   Set output compression level.  Returns previous value.  $level is integer between 0 and 9.  Note: This function is called automatic too
	   by	   $movie->save($filename[,$level]) and      $movie->output([$level]) if the optional parameter $level is given.

       SWF::useConstants($flags);
	   ?
