Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Using sed to insert at position x and then every interval y for each line Post 302924271 by MadeInGermany on Friday 7th of November 2014 01:06:05 PM

Print first 60 then strip them off
loop: print first 75 then strip them off
Code:
sed -n '
s/.\{60\}/&\\\r\n/;P;s/.*\n//
:L
s/.\{75\}/&\\\r\n/;P;s/.*\n//
tL
' input

The same, this time with 20 then 25 comma-separated fields:
Code:
sed -n '
s/[^,]*,/&\\\r\n/20;P;s/.*\n//
:L
s/[^,]*,/&\\\r\n/25;P;s/.*\n//
tL
' input

NB the \{count\} is faster than a //count repetition, but
s/[^,]*,/&\\\r\n/20
looks better than
s/\([^,]*,\)\{20\}/&\\\r\n/

CODE is the name of a remote control key of REMOTE, as it appears in the lircd configuration file. NUM is the transmitter number of the hardware device. For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty: LIST "" "" - list all configured remote names LIST REMOTE "" - list all codes of REMOTE LIST REMOTE CODE - list only CODE of REMOTE The SIMULATE command only works if it has been explicitly enabled in lircd. -h --help display usage summary -v --version display version -d --device use given lircd socket [/var/run/lirc/lircd] -a --address=host[:port] connect to lircd at this address -# --count=n send command n times EXAMPLES
