@ Corona:
The leading 'dash' produces an error like (Just the same way as printf does :: was the first/last i could find when scrolling up from yesterdays terminal output):
Code:

/bin/tui-printf: Invalid Option --
tui-printf (1.4)
tui-printf
Usage: tui-printf [options] [arguments]
tui-printf Prints up to 3 arguments.
1: Left
2: Left, Right
3: Left, Center, Right
Arguments will tell tui-printf if and where to colorize, or if to do a linebreak.
Obviously this error appears as many times there is a leading dash, which is required by the specfile to list items.
Though, its more thought to print 'simple' text files, rather than 'scripts' like this.
--> @ Jim: Yes.
Hope xargs preserves argument strings?
Anyway, i will see what happens.
@ MadeInGermany
The % was in some way the least of the issues , but i try it 'that' way and see if it fixes the alignment.
Thinking...
Since its tui-printf issueing the leading dash, as that indicates an option/argument for tui-printf uses getopts to parse them, it could be a good idea to catch this (the leading dash) in tui-printf.
So another, fetching wrong option to catch in a tempvar and reuse that tempvar in the final output (354) again, hopeing there will be no splitting up, though i could just pass the tempvar again, and let itself handle it again when the string matches on the line...
But first, i'll do what you suggested.

With the changes from MadeInGermany (only), i get (regardles of '%s' or "%s" or even echo -n "-teststring"):
Code:
tui-cat /home/sea/prjs/tui/tui.spec
\r\033[0m# | Name: tui | #\033[0m\n\033[0m\r\033[0m# | Version: 0.6.8 | #\033[0m\n\033[0m\r\033[0m# | Release: 9%%{?dist} | #\033[0m\n\033[0m\r\033[0m# | Summary: A line based Text User Interface framework for scripts | #
@ Jim
Now i dont get any of the dashes to see.
They are part of the output, so i want to preserve them for the output, they just keep interfeering with:
Figured, ty M.I.G., that tui-echo didnt print "This is 100%" well, so i've added the escaping from tui-cat to tui-printf, which does the tui-echo output, which is again used by tui-cat. Easy huh
Anyway, since that works quite good, i can finaly be precice on my question:
I need to know a way so i can pass a string to a command, so it prints a leading dash without failing, give it also has the 'power' of printf.
Or something that helps to preserve the leading dash for the output, without crashing the expected output, and to print the escape char for the leading dash, as shown in first post.
Any further ideas please?
Thank you in advance.

For the leading dash, i put in a single empty spacechar and renamed line to content.
Tui-cat now uses this:
Code:
if [[ -f "$arg" ]]
then while read content
do [[ "-" = "${content:0:1}" ]] && \
content=" ${content}"
tui-echo "${content}"
done<"$arg"
else tui-status 1 "File not found: $arg"
fi
Hi all,
I've been trying to get this to work for ages to no avail. I've searched this site and googled but cannot find a satisfactory answer.
I've got a while loop, like this
while read line
do
echo "$line"
done < file_name
Now, my problem is that most of the lines in the file... (3 Replies)
Hi,
Could someone has any suggestions on this? When read a line from a file, I need to check the first char in the line, it could be a space or any char. But the leading spaces are removed by read.
Thanks. (2 Replies)
I am using the while-loop to read a file.
The file has lines with null-terminated strings (words, actually.)
What I have by that reading - just a first word up to '\0'!
I need to have whole string up to 'new line' - (LF, 10#10, 16#A)
What I am doing wrong?

Hi
I am using while loop, below, to read lines from a very large file, around 400,000 rows. The script works fine until around line 300k but then starts giving incorrect result.
I have tried running the script with a smaller data set and it works fine. I made sure to include the line where... (2 Replies)

It doesn't seem to do anything.
When I run this at the command line, it does remove the files contained in the list so i know the command works

Heyas
I'm trying to read/display a file its content and put borders around it (tui-cat / tui-cat -t(ypwriter).
The typewriter-part is a 'bonus' but still has its own flaws, but thats for later.
So in some way, i'm trying to rewrite cat using bash and other commands.
But sadly it fails on... (2 Replies)
