Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Create a bash array from a flat file of whitespaces only. Post 303012525 by wisecracker on Monday 5th of February 2018 12:56:17 PM

Hi RudiC...
Yes I do mean ASCII character '0x20'...
'stat' does not have the '-c' option and 'man stat' does not show any alternative.
'seq' is forced into error too:-
(/tmp/ARRAY does exist in case you ask.)
Code:

AMIGA:barrywalker~> for i in $(seq $(stat -c%s /tmp/ARRAY)); do ARRAY[i]=" "; done
stat: illegal option -- c
usage: stat [-FlLnqrsx] [-f format] [-t timefmt] [file ...]
usage: seq [-w] [-f format] [-s string] [-t string] [first [incr]] last
AMIGA:barrywalker~> man stat
AMIGA:barrywalker~> _

Thanks for trying...

i-ls(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   i-ls(1)

NAME
i-ls - display file stat and checksum information for files SYNOPSIS
i-ls [-s] filename i-ls [-s] dirname Specify a filename for i-ls to examine, or specify a directory with dirname to examine all the files in the directory. -s Do not show/calculate checksums for all regular files. DESCRIPTION
The integrit system detects intrusion by detecting when trusted files have been altered. integrit records information about files in a database. i-ls allows the user to see that information for live files. The output syntax is the same as that of integrit. EXAMPLES
i-ls /tmp/foo.txt shows file stat attributes for the file, "/tmp/foo.txt". i-ls /tmp shows file stat attributes for all files in the directory, "/tmp". i-ls -s /tmp shows file stat attributes for all files in the directory, "/tmp", also including also checksums for all regular files. AUTHOR
Ed L Cashin <ecashin@users.sourceforge.net> See the integrit web site for up to date releases and information at http://integrit.sourceforge.net/ SEE ALSO
