Well... because ncurses support both dbs... technically they'll tell you that you must call it a "termcap" package. But it does both. I only mentioned it because the FreeBSD mailling lists indicated that it's one way to get a terminfo db on FreeBSD.
Hmm
When i search for ncurses on youtube, i see plenty of C-like code, which doesnt look script'ish as php or java script for example.
Though, it could be perl... but then again, the TO asked for a script, and to my believe perl is out of that (general usage) range.
Trying to say:
With my knowledge, to my understanding ncruses seems like its providing a programming language API which then needs to be compiled - and therefor is not a script. (please correct me if i'm mistaken on this)
Furthermore, tput bold is part of ncurses support utilities, which was in this thread said to be not working on some systems.
Which makes my confusion - perfect
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)
