will work as you would expect in ksh, but not in the other shells.
Otherwise, alternatives to Scottn' s solution :
-or if your platform supports it
-or if your shell supports it:
The latter is small variation to scottn's code and work in bash and ksh93
This is likely to be a dumb one.

I want to do something like sed -n '/PATTERN/,+10p' and get the ten lines following PATTERN. However, this throws an "expected context address" with the sed that comes with OSX Lion. If that + is a GNUism, can I do this, or do I have to find another tool? (2 Replies)

nwbpset
NWBPSET(1) nwbpset NWBPSET(1)NAME
nwbpset - Create a bindery property or set its value
SYNOPSIS
nwbpset [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ]
DESCRIPTION
nwbpset Reads a property specification from the standard input and creates and sets the corresponding property. The format is determined by
the output of 'nwbpvalues -c'. nwbpset will hopefully become an important part of the bindery management suite of ncpfs, together with
As another example, look at the following command line:
nwbpvalues -t 1 -o supervisor -p user_defaults -c |
sed '2s/.*/ME/'|
sed '3s/.*/LOGIN_CONTROL/'|
nwbpset
With this command, the property user_defaults of the user object 'supervisor' is copied into the property login_control of the user object
'me'.
nwbpvalues -t 1 -o me -p login_control -c |
sed '9s/.*/ff/'|
nwbpset
This command disables the user object me.
Feel free to contribute other examples!
nwbpset looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information.
Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.
OPTIONS -h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwbpset
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
