Script with ^M causes display issue with cat or more
I have a script to do a couple simple but repetitive commands on files that are provided to us. One of the things is to get rid of the line feeds. This is the section that is causing problems, i even cut this section into its own file to make sure nothing else was affecting it.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash
ls File_Name_* |while read FN
do
sed 's/^M//' ${FN} > ${FN}.tmp ### the ^M is input with ^v^M
mv ${FN}.tmp ${FN}
done
It works fine and shows up fine in vi. but if i try to cat or more the file it shows
Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash
ls File_Name_* |while read FN
do
//' ${FN} > ${FN}.tmp/
mv ${FN}.tmp ${FN}
done
Oh if i usr /usr/xpg4/bin/more it shows it all except the ^M itself:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash
ls File_Name_* |while read FN
do
sed 's///' ${FN} > ${FN}.tmp ### the ^M is input with ^v^M
mv ${FN}.tmp ${FN}
done
Can someone explain this. The ^M is affecting the display of the file and i have never seen this before. This is on a Solaris 9 system.
Gentle Unix users,
Can someone tell me how I can use a combination of the cat and grep command to display records that are in FileA but missing in FileB.
cat FileA one line at a time and grep to see if it is in fileB. If it is ignore.
If line is not in fileB display the line.

Hi Experts,
I am finding the performance of cat command is very wierd, it is taking more time to merge the files into a single file. We have a situation where we would be merging more than 100 files into a single file, but with cat command it is running slow. I tried doing with paste, join... (13 Replies)

amanda-scripts - Configuring and using the Script API
DESCRIPTION
The Script API is a flexible system for invoking user-supplied scripts at various points in the execution of Amanda. This manual page
describes the operation and configuration of the API. For help writing Script API scripts, see http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Script_API.
SCRIPTS
This section lists the scripts included with Amanda, see the individual man page for instructions on using them. For complete How-To
information, consult the Amanda wiki at http://wiki.zmanda.com.
o amzfs-snapshot(8), - create/destroy zfs snapshot.
o script-email(8), - send email.
Script properties work just like application properties: they are insensitive to case, and - (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used
interchangeably.
SCRIPTS OUTPUT PROPERTY
A pre-dle-amcheck, pre-dle-estimate or pre-dle-backup executed on the client can output property on stdout that are sent to the
application. If the output line matches "PROPERTY str1 str2", Amanda sets a property called "str1" by the value of "str2", that property is
sent to the application.
