You really do *not* want to hardcode terminal escapes since they are terminal dependent. Better to query capabilities.
Sad to hear that FreeBSD stayed with the outdated termcap format. Supposedly if you add ncurses devel support to FreeBSD you'll get terminfo. Still it's sort of sad really.
I believe OpenBSD and NetBSD moved forward. It's strange to me that FreeBSD stayed behind on this.
We have some unseen chars in unix, like '^T's, can be seen with 'cat -v' command.
Is there any way, with which, we can replace these ^T s with a space? (1 Reply)
I was using the following bash command inside the emacs compile command to search C++ source code:
grep -inr --include='*.h' --include='*.cpp' '"' * | sed "/include/d" | sed "/_T/d" | sed '/^ *\/\//d' | sed '/extern/d'
Emacs will then position me in the correct file and at the correct line... (0 Replies)
I know this should be simple, but I've been manning sed awk grep and find and am stupidly stumped :(
I'm trying to use sed (or awk, find, etc) to find 4 characters on the second line of a file.txt 44-47 characters in. I can find lots of sed things for lines, but not characters. (4 Replies)

MAN(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual MAN(7)NAME
man - macros to typeset manual
SYNOPSIS
nroff -man file ...
troff -man file ...
DESCRIPTION
These macros are used to lay out pages of this manual. A skeleton page may be found in the file /usr/man/man.template.
Any text argument t may be zero to six words. Quotes may be used to include blanks in a `word'. If text is empty, special treatment is
applied to the next input line with text to be printed. In this way .I may be used to italicize a whole line, or .SM may be followed by .B
to make small bold letters.
A prevailing indent distance is remembered between successive indented paragraphs, and is reset to default value upon reaching a non-
indented paragraph. Default units for indents i are ens.
Type font and size are reset to default values before each paragraph, and after processing font and size setting macros.
These strings are predefined by -man:
*R `(Reg)', trademark symbol in troff.
*S Change to default type size.
