Remove first portion of string
I have a script which currently uses a file containing a list of directories as an argument. The file is read in to an array, and then the array is iterated in a for loop.
What I would like to do is cut off the first few directories of the directory path (they won't exist on the server where the items are being copied).
Here is an example:
On local server:
/usr/local/logs/serverlogdir
On remote server:
/logs/serverlogdir <- note that the /usr/local is removed
Is there any easy way to do this?

Hi all,
Can anyone suggest a way to get a portion of string from the end?
So:
$ORACLE_SID=blt10cr1
We can drop the final '1' and end up with:
$ORACLE_SID=blt10cr
So far I have the following:
echo $ORACLE_SID | cut -c1-5
and
echo $ORACLE_SID | cut -c1-6 | rev
any ideas? (4 Replies)

xfreefontpath
XSetFontPath(3X11) MIT X11R4 XSetFontPath(3X11)
Name
XSetFontPath, XGetFontPath, XFreeFontPath - set, get, or free the font search path
Syntax
XSetFontPath(display, directories, ndirs)
Display *display;
char **directories;
int ndirs;
char **XGetFontPath(display, npaths_return)
Display *display;
int *npaths_return;
XFreeFontPath(list)
char **list;
Arguments
directories
Specifies the directory path used to look for a font. Setting the path to the empty list restores the default path defined for
the X server.
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
list Specifies the array of strings you want to free.
ndirs Specifies the number of directories in the path.
npaths_return
Returns the number of strings in the font path array.
Description
The function defines the directory search path for font lookup. There is only one search path per X server, not one per client. The
interpretation of the strings is operating system dependent, but they are intended to specify directories to be searched in the order
listed. Also, the contents of these strings are operating system dependent and are not intended to be used by client applications. Usu-
ally, the X server is free to cache font information internally rather than having to read fonts from files. In addition, the X server is
guaranteed to flush all cached information about fonts for which there currently are no explicit resource IDs allocated. The meaning of an
error from this request is operating system dependent.
can generate a error.
The function allocates and returns an array of strings containing the search path. When it is no longer needed, the data in the font path
should be freed by using
The function frees the data allocated by
Diagnostics
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument
defined as a set of alternatives can generate this error.
