In bash, I can match the ' character in a substition involving the line ending symbol $, easily.
In tcsh I ran into a problem.
Code:
sed "s/$/'/g" filename
sed "s/$/'/g" < filename
sed -e "s/$/'/g" filename
Unmatched '.
Where can I find out why this is the case? (2 Replies)
So I am new to unix, and actually anything outside drag and drop with the mouse (been learning for about a week so far) . I have been using the foreach command in tcsh because I am working on a group of files. Basically what I need is to insert part of the filename as the first line in the file.... (0 Replies)
Hi,
I need to find tcsh shell version info on several boxes.
I made a script and running on boxes through SSH.
This is what i am doing :

if i run /bin/tcsh -c 'echo $version' on ocal machine i see the... (2 Replies)
Greetings!
I love the power and control offered by BASH but detest its syntax! Is there some alternative *nix shell language? (other than TCSH)
Or maybe a wrapper that affords the use of BASH commands via an easier syntax?
I considered creating a complicated system of aliases to... (8 Replies)

As I stated in a previous thread - I'm a newbie to Unix/Linux and programming. I'm trying to learn the basics on my own using a couple books and the exercises provided inside.

So, I made a script beginning with #!/bin/bash on gedit.
And I double clicked it to run in terminal and I end up with "The child process exited normally with status 127" and "command not found".
If I run the same script from the terminal as "tcsh (script name)" it runs just fine.
If I... (8 Replies)

xtresolvepathname
XtResolvePathname(3Xt) XT FUNCTIONS XtResolvePathname(3Xt)NAME
XtResolvePathname - search for a file using standard substitution
SYNTAX
String XtResolvePathname(Display *display, String type, String filename, String suffix, String path, Substitution substitutions, Cardinal
num_substitutions, XtFilePredicate predicate);
ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the display to use to find the language for language substitutions.
type
filename
suffix Specify values to substitute into the path.
path Specifies the list of file specifications, or NULL.
substitutions
Specifies a list of additional substitutions to make into the path, or NULL.
num_substitutions
Specifies the number of entries in substitutions.
predicate Specifies a procedure called to judge each potential file name, or NULL.
DESCRIPTION
The substitutions specified by XtResolvePathname are determined from the value of the language string retrieved by XtDisplayInitialize for
the specified display. To set the language for all applications specify ``*xnlLanguage: lang'' in the resource database. The format and
content of the language string are implementation-defined. One suggested syntax is to compose the language string of three parts; a
``language part'', a ``territory part'' and a ``codeset part''. The manner in which this composition is accomplished is implementation-
defined and the Intrinsics make no interpretation of the parts other than to use them in substitutions as described below.
XtResolvePathname calls XtFindFile with the following substitutions in addition to any passed by the caller and returns the value returned
by XtFindFile:
%N The value of the filename parameter, or the application's class name if filename is NULL.
%T The value of the type parameter.
%S The value of the suffix parameter.
%L The language string associated with the specified display.
%l The language part of the display's language string.
%t The territory part of the display's language string.
%c The codeset part of the display's language string.
%C The customization string retrieved from the resource database associated with display.
%D The value of the implementation-specific default path.
If a path is passed to XtResolvePathname, it will be passed along to XtFindFile. If the path argument is NULL, the value of the XFILE-
SEARCHPATH environment variable will be passed to XtFindFile. If XFILESEARCHPATH is not defined, an implementation-specific default path
will be used which contains at least 6 entries. These entries must contain the following substitutions:
1. %C, %N, %S, %T, %L or%C, %N, %S, %T, %l, %t, %c
2. %C, %N, %S, %T, %l
3. %C, %N, %S, %T
4. %N, %S, %T, %L or %N, %S, %T, %l, %t, %c
5. %N, %S, %T, %l
6. %N, %S, %T
The order of these six entries within the path must be as given above. The order and use of substitutions within a given entry is imple-
mentation dependent. If the path begins with a colon, it will be preceded by %N%S. If the path includes two adjacent colons, %N%S will be
inserted between them.
The type parameter is intended to be a category of files, usually being translated into a directory in the pathname. Possible values might
include ``app-defaults'', ``help'', and ``bitmap''.
The suffix parameter is intended to be appended to the file name. Possible values might include ``.txt'', ``.dat'', and ``.bm''.
A suggested value for the default path on POSIX-based systems is
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%C%S:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%C%S:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/%T/%N%C%S:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%S:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%S:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/%T/%N%S
Using this example, if the user has specified a language, it will be used as a subdirectory of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 that will be searched for
other files. If the desired file is not found there, the lookup will be tried again using just the language part of the specification. If
the file is not there, it will be looked for in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. The type parameter is used as a subdirectory of the language directory
or of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, and suffix is appended to the file name.
The %D substitution allows the addition of path elements to the implementation-specific default path, typically to allow additional direc-
tories to be searched without preventing resources in the system directories from being found. For example, a user installing resource
files under a directory called ``ourdir'' might set XFILESEARCHPATH to
%D:ourdir/%T/%N%C:ourdir/%T/%N
The customization string is obtained by querying the resource database currently associated with the display (the database returned by
XrmGetDatabase) for the resource application_name.customization, class application_class.Customization where application_name and applica-
tion_class are the values returned by XtGetApplicationNameAndClass. If no value is specified in the database, the empty string is used.
It is the responsibility of the caller to free the returned string using XtFree when it is no longer needed.
