Or transfer the file under a temporary fileaname which ends in ".txt" and rename it afterwards.
I sometimes cut/paste from notepad in to vi (where my connection is through a Windows program emulating a unix terminal).
While I remember, in the filename you post the "?" is probably not a question mark.
Use the "-b" switch to "ls" to find out if there are funny characters in the filename:
FTPing .txt file did not work nor did text mode FTPing. It was retaining the return characters. I am also using an application "Putty". So I also copy pasted into the vi editor and this worked perfect!!!!!
Yes the question mark was not really a question mark but a return character only.
Thanks a lot for replying correctly and that too quickly. The program is working perfect !!!
I have written this program enitrely by going through various posts in this site only.
I am very new to the world of Unix, in the middle of a crash course as I write this due to a system failure for my company. This system went down approximately 24 hours ago due to some apparent thunderstorms that passed through. The problem is that my company, like many others, has laid off... (5 Replies)

So in my shell i execute:
{ while true; do echo string; sleep 1; done } | read line This waits one second and returns.
But

I have tried this in bash as well as zsh,... (2 Replies)
Bit of a weird one i suppose, i want to use an echo inside an echo... For example...
i have a script that i want to use to take users input and create another script. Inside this script it creates it also needs to use echos...

echo `echo ` doesn't echoes anything. And it's logic. But
echo `echo `echo ` ` does echoes "echo". What's the logic of it? the `echo `echo ` inside of the whole (first) echo, echoes nothing, so the first echo have to echo nothing but echoes "echo"

I came across and unexpected behavior with redirections in tcsh. I know, csh is not best for redirections, but I'd like to understand what is happening here.
I have following script (called out_to_streams.csh):

Hi guys,
Been messing around with shell programming for a couple of days and I found something that was pretty odd in the behavior of the echo command. Below is an example-:
When I type the following in my /home directory from my lxterminal in Debian-:
echo "`ls -l`"
I get the... (2 Replies)

fnmatch
fnmatch(3C)fnmatch(3C)NAME
fnmatch() - match filename patterns
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
performs pattern matching as described in regexp(5) under By default, the rule qualifications for filename expansion do not apply; i.e.,
periods (dots) and slashes are matched as ordinary characters. This default behavior can be modified by using the flags described below.
The flag argument modifies the interpretation of pattern and string. If which is defined in is set in flag, a slash character in string
must be explicitly matched by a slash in pattern; it cannot be matched by either the asterisk or question mark special characters or by a
bracket expression.
If is set in flag, a leading period must be explicitly matched. It will not be matched by a bracket expression, question mark or asterisk.
By default, a period is leading if it is the first character in string. If is set in flag, a period is leading if it is the first charac-
ter in string or immediately follows a slash.
If is not set in flag, a backslash character in pattern followed by any other character matches that second character in string. In par-
ticular, matches a backslash in string. If is set, a backslash character is treated as an ordinary character.
If flag is zero, the slash character and the period are treated as regular characters. If flag has any other value, the result is unde-
fined.
RETURN VALUE
If string matches the pattern specified by pattern, returns zero. Otherwise, returns non-zero.
EXAMPLE
The following excerpt uses to check each file in a directory against the pattern
pattern = "*.c";
while(dp = readdir(dirp)){
if((fnmatch(pattern, dp->d_name,0)) == 0){
/* do processing for match */
...
}
}
