Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Replace Double quotes within double quotes in a column with space while loading a CSV file Post 302943687 by Don Cragun on Tuesday 12th of May 2015 12:05:15 AM

Go back and look at message #3 in this thread again. You seem to have used the two characters circumflex (^) and capital letter b (B) instead of the single character that you get by pressing and holding the control key (control, ctl, or cntl on your keyboard depending on your keyboard manufacturer) while you press and release the B key. This key combination would show up on your editing screen as ^B if you were using common UNIX/Linux/POSIX editing tools like vi.

If, for some reason, you are unable to use the ctl-B key combination to create that character, you can replace all occurrences of that character in the sed command line with any other character that CANNOT appear as a legitimate character in your input file except that you cannot use a character that has a special meaning in a basic regular expression nor that has a special meaning in a sed s command replacement string.

glutSpecialUpFunc(3GLUT)					       GLUT						  glutSpecialUpFunc(3GLUT)

NAME
glutSpecialUpFunc - sets the special keyboard up (key release) callback for the current window. SYNTAX
void glutSpecialUpFunc(void (*func)(int key, int x, int y)); ARGUMENTS
func The new special callback function. DESCRIPTION
glutSpecialUpFunc sets the special keyboard up (key release) callback for the current window. The special keyboard up callback is triggered when keyboard function or directional keys are released. The key callback parameter is a GLUT_KEY_* constant for the special key pressed. The x and y callback parameters indicate the mouse in window relative coordinates when the key was pressed. When a new window is created, no special up callback is initially registered and special key releases in the window are ignored. Passing NULL to glutSpecialUpFunc dis- ables the generation of special up callbacks. During a special up callback, glutGetModifiers may be called to determine the state of modifier keys when the key release generating the callback occurred. To avoid the reporting of key release/press pairs due to auto repeat, use glutIgnoreKeyRepeat to ignore auto repeated keystrokes. An implementation should do its best to provide ways to generate all the GLUT_KEY_* special keys. The available GLUT_KEY_* values are: GLUT_KEY_F1 F1 function key. GLUT_KEY_F2 F2 function key. GLUT_KEY_F3 F3 function key. GLUT_KEY_F4 F4 function key. GLUT_KEY_F5 F5 function key. GLUT_KEY_F6 F6 function key. GLUT_KEY_F7 F7 function key. GLUT_KEY_F8 F8 function key. GLUT_KEY_F9 F9 function key. GLUT_KEY_F10 F10 function key. GLUT_KEY_F11 F11 function key. GLUT_KEY_F12 F12 function key. GLUT_KEY_LEFT Left directional key. GLUT_KEY_UP Up directional key. GLUT_KEY_RIGHT Right directional key. GLUT_KEY_DOWN Down directional key. GLUT_KEY_PAGE_UP Page up directional key. GLUT_KEY_PAGE_DOWN Page down directional key. GLUT_KEY_HOME Home directional key. GLUT_KEY_END End directional key. GLUT_KEY_INSERT Inset directional key. Note that the escape, backspace, and delete keys are generated as an ASCII character. SEE ALSO
