Help with cp command using relative path?
I have a lab I am doing for a Linux Operating class. The question I am stumped on is
"For the following questions, only use the cp command to copy files.
You should currently be inside your lab07 directory. Create a subdirectory inside this directory called ones and copy (working directory is lab07) all the files in the /labs/data/filenames/ that end with a 1, 2, 3, ..., 9 into this new ones directory. I.e. copy the files, file.1, file.2, etc, but not the files file.11, file.21, etc. Write the full command to copy these files into this new ones directory using only relative paths."
Now, I can do the problem using an absolute path, the command is "cp /labs/data/filenames/file.[1-9] /lab07/ones" So from this, what would be the relative path?
I've been trying different commands for HOURS and I have no idea. I get the concept behind relative paths, it's just when I actually try to do it. I can't get it right!
We are using bash/shell, on a server. I am using Xquartz11

Hi,
I have a file with about 60 lines of path:
app-defaults/boxXYZ.......
I want to change this to /my/path/goes/here/app-defaults/boxXYZ, but of course vi doesn't like the regualr :s/old/new/ command.
Is there any other quick way to do this?
Thanks ;) (2 Replies)

tixlabelframe
tixLabelFrame(n) Tix Built-In Commands tixLabelFrame(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
tixLabelFrame - Create and manipulate tixLabelFrame widgets
SYNOPSIS
tixLabelFrame pathName ?options?
SUPER-CLASS
The TixLabelFrame class is derived from the TixLabelWidget class and inherits all the commands, options and subwidgets of its super-class.
STANDARD OPTIONS
The LabelFrame widget supports all the standard options of a frame widget. See the options(n) manual entry for details on the standard
options.
WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
[-label label] Specifies the string to display as the label of this LabelFrame widget. [-labelside labelSide] Specifies where the label
should be displayed relative to the entry subwidget. Valid options are: top, left, right, bottom, none or acrosstop. [-padx padX] Speci-
fies the amount of the horizontal padding around the frame subwidget. Must be a valid non-negative integer number. [-pady padY] Specifies
the amount of the vertical padding around the frame subwidget.
SUBWIDGETS
Name: frame
Class: Frame
The frame subwidget.
Name: label
Class: Label
The label subwidget.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The tixLabelFrame command creates a new window (given by the pathName argument) and makes it into a LabelFrame widget. Additional options,
described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the LabelFrame such as its cursor
and relief.
CREATING WIDGETS INSIDE A LABELFRAME
The LabelFrame widget packages a frame widget and a label into one mega widget. To create widgets inside a LabelFrame widget, one must cre-
ate the new widgets relative to the frame subwidget and manage them inside the frame subwidget. An error will be generated if one tries to
create widgets as immediate children of the LabelFrame. For example: the following is correct code, which creates new widgets inside the
frame subwidget:
tixLabelFrame .f
set f [.f subwidget frame]
button $f.b -text hi
pack $f.b
The following example code is incorrect because it tries to create immediate children of the LabelFrame .f:
tixLabelFrame .f
# wrong!
button .f.b -text hi
pack .f.b
WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixLabelFrame command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as the path name of the LabelFrame's window. This command may be
used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the LabelFrame widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact behav-
ior of the command. The following commands are possible for LabelFrame widgets:
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the tixLabel-
Frame command.
pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available
options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, then
the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value
returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given widget
option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values accepted
by the tixLabelFrame command.
pathName subwidget name ?args?
When no options are given, this command returns the pathname of the subwidget of the specified name.
When options are given, the widget command of the specified subwidget will be called with these options.
