The eval on the whole line also interprets <= as shell command...
Is it possible to have the "skeleton" directly in the script?
E.g. as a here document?
The variable substitutions will happen automatically.
Of course you can also do
Hi All,
I'm running some encrypted data through a script I wrote. In order to do this, I'm using eval to resolve some of my variables. At the moment, when I use eval to resolve, it strips out some of my encrypted values, and totally drops some others. For example if I have the value ab1"3 it drops... (1 Reply)
hi all,
Am trying to add some code to a ksh script and i dont understand how an eval function is used :
_var=$1
_conceal=$2
eval _val=\$${_var}
can someone shed some light on what the eval function in the above context means/does ??
thanks. (4 Replies)
Hi all,
some small script with eval turned me to crazy.
my OS is linux
Linux s10-1310 2.6.16.53-0.8.PTF.434477.3.TDC.0-smp #1 SMP Fri Aug 31 06:07:27 PDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
below script works well
#!/bin/bash
eval ssh remotehost date
eval ssh remotehost ls
below... (1 Reply)
ppmtosixel(1) General Commands Manual ppmtosixel(1)NAME
ppmtosixel - convert a portable pixmap into DEC sixel format
SYNOPSIS
ppmtosixel [-raw] [-margin] [ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces sixel commands (SIX) as output. The output is formatted for color printing, e.g. for a DEC
LJ250 color inkjet printer.
If RGB values from the PPM file do not have maxval=100, the RGB values are rescaled. A printer control header and a color assignment table
begin the SIX file. Image data is written in a compressed format by default. A printer control footer ends the image file.
OPTIONS -raw If specified, each pixel will be explicitly described in the image file. If -raw is not specified, output will default to com-
pressed format in which identical adjacent pixels are replaced by "repeat pixel" commands. A raw file is often an order of magni-
tude larger than a compressed file and prints much slower.
-margin
If -margin is not specified, the image will be start at the left margin (of the window, paper, or whatever). If -margin is speci-
fied, a 1.5 inch left margin will offset the image.
PRINTING
Generally, sixel files must reach the printer unfiltered. Use the lpr -x option or cat filename > /dev/tty0?.
BUGS
Upon rescaling, truncation of the least significant bits of RGB values may result in poor color conversion. If the original PPM maxval was
greater than 100, rescaling also reduces the image depth. While the actual RGB values from the ppm file are more or less retained, the
color palette of the LJ250 may not match the colors on your screen. This seems to be a printer limitation.
