I would like to find an undetermined number of spaces and shorten them to one space. I am running Debian in mksh. Script running in #!/bin/sh. Sorry to not include all code. The program is too big and involves an online file... too much hassle to solve a simple issue.
Ex.,
I start with (pretend the periods are spaces),
"This . . . . sentence has . . . . . . an undetermined . . number of . spaces between . . . . . . each word."
The result would be:
"This sentence has an undetermined number of spaces."
What I have so far is working but extremely poor code:
I've tried several combinations to no effect. I've been reading up on awk in a tutorial, but so far no mention of this situation.
I need to grep for pattern "enable_cal = true".The problem is that different file has different no of spaces in that string.
for eg
one file will have "enable_cal <space><space><space>=true"
next file will have "enable_cal= <space><space>true"
other one will have... (5 Replies)
How do i split a variable of numbers with spaces... for example
echo "100 100 100 100" > temp.txt
as the values can always change in temp.txt, i think it will be feasible to split the numbers in accordance to column.
How is it possible to make it into $a $b $c $d? (3 Replies)

sfddiff
SFDDIFF(1) General Commands Manual SFDDIFF(1)NAME
sfddiff - compare two font files
SYNOPSIS
sfddiff [--help] [--ignorehints] [--ignorenames] [--ignoregpos] [--ignoregsub] [--ignorebitmaps] [--exact] [--warn] [--merge outfile]
[--usage] [--version] fontfile1 fontfile2
DESCRIPTION
The program sfddiff compares two font files, which may be in any format fontforge(1) can read. It will notice the following differences:
1) Characters are present in one font but not in the other.
2) Characters are present in both fonts but have different sets of outlines or references. The outlines may be compared so that only
exact matches are accepted, or so that a fuzzier match is used. Similarly references may need to match exactly, or may be matched
after an unlink.
This fuzzy comparison is useful when comparing truetype and postscript fonts, or when comparing a font with references to one with-
out.
3) The postscript hints or truetype instructions are different.
4) The font names (the truetype `name' table) differ.
5) The kerning (and other `gpos' information) differs.
6) The ligatures (and other `gsub' information) differ.
7) Any bitmap strikes present in one font but not in the other.
8) Any bitmap characters present in one strike of one font but in the equivalent strike of the other.
9) Any bitmap characters which differ.
OPTIONS --help Provide a description with a list of the available options.
--ignorehints
Suppress the reporting of hint/instruction differences.
--ignoregpos
Suppress the reporting of kerning (and other `gpos') differences.
--ignoregsub
Suppress the reporting of ligature (and other `gsub') differences.
--ignorenames
Suppress the reporting of name string differences.
--ignorebitmaps
Suppress the reporting of bitmap differences.
--exact
Require outlines to match exactly.
--warn Warn if the outlines/references are slightly different.
--merge outfile
Store a merged version of the two fonts into the specified output file. The merged data will be based on sfdfile1, as well as any
characters present in sfdfile2 but not in sfdfile1 will be added, and the outlines of sfdfile2 will be placed in the background.
Finally, for any characters with different outlines or references the background of the character will contain the outlines from
sfdfile2 (references will be unlinked into outlines and those outlines also will be added).
--usage
Display the usage description.
--version
Display the current version.
