Agreed your approach is good and I like the multiple use of the variable "junk" (I didn't know you could do that but I have now tested the idea).

We need real examples from the OP.

Finding funny charaters in a string

Hi, I have got a little problem where some of the files I created had some funny characters e.g space ,"^M" etc inserted in the full file name and which caused our backup script to skip those files. Is it possible to find out if there are any funny charaters in a string ? Thanks, (4 Replies)

NAME
rndtest -- FIPS 140-2 random number generator test monitor SYNOPSIS
device rndtest DESCRIPTION
The rndtest driver ``hooks up'' to hardware crypto devices to monitor the entropy data passed to the random(4) subsystem. This data is peri- odically tested for FIPS 140-2 compliance and statistics are collected. If the harvested entropy fails any of the FIPS test suite, then it is discarded and testing is continuously applied until ``good data'' is received from the device. Failures are optionally reported on the console. SEE ALSO
crypto(4), hifn(4), random(4), safe(4), ubsec(4), crypto(9) HISTORY
The idea for this and the original code came from Jason L. Wright. The rndtest device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0. BUGS
Crypto device drivers must be compiled specially to make use of this driver; this should not be necessary. This feature might better be integrated into the random(4) subsystem where it can be applied to devices that claim to supply ``pure entropy''. BSD
