I have a prompt like this:
It works like it should, but have a bug.
Problem is the counting of hidden files
The . seems to create the problem when I cut and past to the screen.
It works correct, but gives extra/wrong character displayed on my screen.
Simple test echo $PS1 in my home folder gives:
The extra is in red
Is there another way to get correct hidden files, that does not create this mess?
Hi. I have a script which is deleting files with a particular extension and older than 45 days.The code is:
find <path> -name "<filename_pattern>" -mtime +45 -exec rm {} \;
But the problem is that some important files are also getting deleted.To prevent this I have decide to make a dummy... (4 Replies)
I'm writing a c program to list the files in a given directory but I also want to display the hidden files. I can't figure this out in c. Does anyone know how to do this? Here's the code I have so far:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dirent.h>

I usually use ls -al | awk '{sum = sum + $5} END {print sum}' to sum the size of all files in a directory. However this command includes the hidden files.
Is there a command to just add up all the files/sub-directories excluding the hidden files (begins with . and ..)

I want to list all directories hidden or not hidden.
ls -ld */ => shows only not hidden directories
so i guess the answer would be to add the a option to show all files
ls -lad */ => not working :confused:
ls -la | grep "^d" => works
But I would like to know why I can't use ls -lad... (4 Replies)
I have a bunch of hidden files in a directory in AIX. I would like to move these hidden files as regular files to another directory.
Say i have the following files in directory /x
.test~1234~567
.report~5678~123
.find~9876~576
i would like to move them to directory /y as
test~1234~567... (10 Replies)
Find all files in the current directory only excluding hidden directories and files.
For the below command, though it's not deleting hidden files.. it is traversing through the hidden directories and listing normal which should be avoided.
`find . \( ! -name ".*" -prune \) -mtime +${n_days}... (7 Replies)
Hello.
I use this command :
rsync -av --include=".*" --dry-run "$A_FULL_PATH_S" "$A_FULL_PATH_D"The data comes from the output of a find command.
And no full source directories are in use, only some files.

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.
