vbe,

I appreciate your advice, I am very new to forums and I see people post things here in nicer ways but I had no idea how to do that. Just now after your reply I am looking through here and I see there is something I can do to make my post nicer and more professional.

Thanks you for the advise. and here my questions perhaps in a nicer way...


Hi all.

I wonder if this possible.... any help advice is very much appreciated..

I n a shell script I create a latex file that looks like this
Code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphics}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{cc}

\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730124.eps}} &
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730225.eps}} &
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730326.eps}} &
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730428.eps}} &
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730529.eps}} &
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730631.eps}} &
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730732.eps}} &
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730834.eps}} &
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730935.eps}} &
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011731036.eps}} &

\end{tabular}
\caption{This is sample figures.}
\label{test4}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Now I want to change this file so that it looks like as shown below. The highlighted part, I change every second line to replace the '&' by the '\\' character

Code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphics}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{cc}

\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730124.eps}} &
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730225.eps}} \\
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730326.eps}} &
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730428.eps}} \\
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730529.eps}} &
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730631.eps}} \\
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730732.eps}} &
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730834.eps}} \\
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011730935.eps}} &
\resizebox{60mm}{!}{\includegraphics{e20011731036.eps}} \\

\end{tabular}
\caption{This is sample figures.}
\label{test4}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
\end{document}


Any one has an idea please help!

csqrt

CSQRT(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							  CSQRT(3)

NAME

       csqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl - complex square root

SYNOPSIS

       #include <complex.h>

       double complex csqrt(double complex z);
       float complex csqrtf(float complex z);
       long double complex csqrtl(long double complex z);

       Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION

       These  functions  calculate the complex square root of z, with a branch cut along the negative real axis.  (That means that csqrt(-1+eps*I)
       will be close to I while csqrt(-1-eps*I) will be close to -I, if eps is a small positive real number.)

VERSIONS

       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
