Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Junk character appearing after downloading the file from windows server Post 302916072 by Riverstone on Saturday 6th of September 2014 02:31:09 PM

Dont know about the remote server as i do not have full access but i have my loacal AIX box lang setting as below

Code:
od -x -N 10 filename
0000000  fffe 2200 4500 7600 6500
0000012

As suggested by rudie tried to remove these bytes as below.

Code:
tail -n +4 file

It got removed successfully but seems that whole file is having this garbage value but not visible in the new truncated file, really in a puzzling situation now , that was the final touch everything was written on by creating dummy file/text , now once i acted on the original downloaded file it very much disappointed me.


This is the actual code which i was trying to search the pattern , but giving me the null value, on my dummy text it was really working fine.

Code:
awk '/'severe.job'/ {print;for(i=1; i<=4; i++) {getline; print}}' filename

XUnmapWindow(3) 						  XLIB FUNCTIONS						   XUnmapWindow(3)

NAME
XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows SYNTAX
int XUnmapWindow(Display *display, Window w); int XUnmapSubwindows(Display *display, Window w); ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server. w Specifies the window. DESCRIPTION
The XUnmapWindow function unmaps the specified window and causes the X server to generate an UnmapNotify event. If the specified window is already unmapped, XUnmapWindow has no effect. Normal exposure processing on formerly obscured windows is performed. Any child window will no longer be visible until another map call is made on the parent. In other words, the subwindows are still mapped but are not visible until the parent is mapped. Unmapping a window will generate Expose events on windows that were formerly obscured by it. XUnmapWindow can generate a BadWindow error. The XUnmapSubwindows function unmaps all subwindows for the specified window in bottom-to-top stacking order. It causes the X server to generate an UnmapNotify event on each subwindow and Expose events on formerly obscured windows. Using this function is much more efficient than unmapping multiple windows one at a time because the server needs to perform much of the work only once, for all of the windows, rather than for each window. XUnmapSubwindows can generate a BadWindow error. DIAGNOSTICS
BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window. SEE ALSO
XChangeWindowAttributes(3), XConfigureWindow(3), XCreateWindow(3), XDestroyWindow(3), XMapWindow(3) XRaiseWindow(3) Xlib - C Language X Interface X Version 11 libX11 1.5.0 XUnmapWindow(3)
