Operating Systems Linux Get a specific line number from a text file Post 302440676 by barryxian on Wednesday 28th of July 2010 01:55:56 AM

Hi! bankai & kurumi,
Thanks for your reply, yes, "grep -n" is good.

I am sorry for my unclear question.
Actually here is situation...
DEF is a procedure and will be called for several times.....
What I am going to do is,
I would like to add codings into "that file", and if any result from DEF is wrong, it will display that line number....

For example,
if the result from 2nd DEF is wrong, I will display that line number.....
which is line#5.

ABC
DEF --> 1st DEF
LLL
KKK
DEF --> 2nd DEF
PPP
DEF --> 3rd DEF


Also, in a test file, if we right click "View" and select "What Line Number?" then a line number will display.
Can we do this?

Thanks a lot!

geniconvtbl(1)							   User Commands						    geniconvtbl(1)

NAME
geniconvtbl - generate iconv code conversion tables SYNOPSIS
geniconvtbl [-fnq] [-p preprocessor] [-W arg] [-Dname] [-Dname=def] [-Idirectory] [-Uname] [infile...] DESCRIPTION
The geniconvtbl utility accepts code conversion rules defined in flat text file(s) and writes code conversion binary table file(s) that can be used to support user-defined iconv code conversions (see iconv(1) and iconv(3C) for more detail on the iconv code conversion). OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -f Overwrites output file if the output file exists. -n Does not generate an output file. This is useful to check the contents of the input file. -p preprocessor Uses specified preprocessor instead of the default preprocessor, /usr/lib/cpp. -q Quiet option. It suppresses warning and error messages. -W arg Passes the argument arg to the preprocessor. If this option is specified more than once, all arguments are passed to the preprocessor. -Dname geniconvtbl recognizes these options and passes them and their arguments to the preprocessor. -Dname=def -Idirectory -Uname OPERANDS
The following operand is supported: infile A path name of an input file. If no input file is specified, geniconvtbl reads from the standard input stream. The user can specify more than one input file if necessary. OUTPUT
If input is from the standard input stream, geniconvtbl writes output to the standard output stream. If one or more input files are speci- fied, geniconvtbl reads from each input file and writes to a corresponding output file. Each of the output file names will be the same as the corresponding input file with .bt appended. The generated output files must be moved to the following directory prior to using the code conversions at iconv(1) and iconv(3C): /usr/lib/iconv/geniconvtbl/binarytables/ The output file name should start with one or more printable ASCII characters as the 'fromcode' name followed by a percentage character (%), followed by one or more printable ASCII characters as the 'tocode' name, followed by the suffix '.bt'. The 'fromcode' and 'tocode' names are used to identify the iconv code conversion at iconv(1) and iconv_open(3C)). The properly named output file should be placed in the directory, /usr/lib/iconv/geniconvtbl/binarytables/. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Generating an iconv code conversion binary table The following example generates a code conversion binary table with output file name convertA2B.bt: example% geniconvtbl convertA2B Example 2: Generating multiple iconv code conversion binary tables The following example generates two code conversion binary tables with output files test1.bt and test2.bt: example% geniconvtbl test1 test2 Example 3: Using another preprocessor The following example generates a code conversion binary table once the specified preprocessor has processed the input file: example% geniconvtbl -p /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -W -E convertB2A Example 4: Placing a binary table To use the binary table created in the first example above as the engine of the conversion 'fromcode' ABC to 'tocode' DEF, become super- user and then rename it and place it like this: example# mv convertA2B.bt /usr/lib/iconv/geniconvtbl/binarytables/ABC%DEF.bt Example 5: Providing modified ISO8859-1 to UTF-8 code conversion Write a geniconvtbl source file that defines the code conversion. For instance, you can copy over /usr/lib/iconv/genicon- vtbl/srcs/ISO8859-1_to_UTF-8.src into your directory and make necessary changes at the source file. Once the modifications are done, generate the binary table: example% geniconvtbl ISO8859-1_to_UTF-8.src As super-user, place the generated binary table with a unique name at the system directory where iconv_open(3C) can find the binary table: example su Password: example% cp ISO8859-1_to_UTF-8.bt /usr/lib/iconv/geniconvtbl/binarytables/my-iso-8859-1%utf-8.bt After that, you can do the iconv code conversion. For instance: example% iconv -f my-iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 testfile.txt ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of geniconvtbl: LANG and LC_CTYPE. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 No errors occurred and the output files were successfully created. 1 Command line options are not correctly used or an unknown command line option was specified. 2 Invalid input or output file was specified. 3 Conversion rules in input files are not correctly defined. 4 Conversion rule limit of input files has been reached.
