I would like to open a text m3u file and add the same string to the beginning of each line. I think I am close, but I cannot figure out how to escape the ampersand in the following code:
The ampersand is part of a folder name and shows up twice.
Many thanks
each line in this text file is a shortened pathname:
I want to add the full path to that file by concatenating two strings.
the rest of the path is:
output should be
and I just noticed the slashes are different, easy to fix with global search and replace

What is the & for in Unix?? say for example that you have a line in a shellscript that will startup a executable and you have the ampersand at the end of the line, what is it for??
any info you could spare would be much appreciated

In my program, I'm using argc and argv to accept command line arguments. However, if I have to get the '&' to work i.e. make it run the child as a background process, do I have to write some special code in C or does Unix handle it automatically? If I have to add the special code, how does it look... (2 Replies)
Hi
I am trying to send mail to an email id having ampersand in it.
Like abc.&.xyz@abc.com
But it is not being sent.
I also tried prefixing backslash before and after ampersand

Please explain the usage of ampersand in the following command
who & echo "Total number of users are `who|wc -l`"
What I understand is that ampersand is used to run some process in the background. And, what I am expecting from this command is
"Output of who should be displayed on the... (2 Replies)
In the terminal, using the ampersand allows the process to run in the background--Emacs, for example. But is there a way to automatically open Emacs as a background process so I can still use the command line? Typing the ampersand is just annoying to me, and I keep forgetting; it's just too useful...

Gurus,
Thanks so much for your help, in advance.
I'm using ksh and outputting a literal string value to an output file, however, Unix isn't playing by SQL's rules. The ampersand character which I'm trying to disply as a knowledge base link is screwing up the output. Typically, the "&&" is... (1 Reply)
I want to add the character "<" to the end of each line of input using the & function in SED.
Something like:
sed 's/.*/&\</'
It's important to use the &, not another method, because I want to know what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks (5 Replies)
Hello everybody,
I have a Problem with sed command.
I want to replace a defined string with a string from a database field (dynamic).
e.g.
sed -i -e 's/%NAME%/'"$HNAME"'/g'

Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)NAME
Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification
SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangFam;
$lext = code2langfam('apa'); # $lext gets 'Apache languages'
$code = langfam2code('Apache languages'); # $code gets 'apa'
@codes = all_langfam_codes();
@names = all_langfam_names();
DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in
ISO 639-5.
Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5
language family codes will be used.
SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a
constant that is automatically exported by this module.
For example, the two are equivalent:
$lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha');
$lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA);
The codesets currently supported are:
alpha
This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages.
This is the default code set.
ROUTINES
code2langfam ( CODE [,CODESET] )
langfam2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
langfam_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
all_langfam_codes ( [CODESET] )
all_langfam_names ( [CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam ( CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_alias ( NAME )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] )
These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
