Insert FF (feed form) in text file so that when printing the printer print on a new page accordingly
Hello.
First happy new year to everybody.


I have a script that generate a text file ( /tmp/part_list.txt for example ).
This file can be edited using a kde graphical text editor like kate or kwrite
The file can be printed out from command line or within the text editor using the print option menu.



Code:

echo "" > /tmp/part_list.txt
echo "" > /tmp/part_list.txt
 
for A_DEVICE in $(lsblk --noheadings -o kname) ; do...
...
        CUR_DEVICE="$A_DEVICE"      # A_DEVICE = /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc .....  
        gdisk -l "$CUR_DEVICE"  >>  /tmp/part_list.txt  2>&1

done

Now I would like to add the code so that when printing the file "/tmp/part_list.txt" the printer change page after each device
Something like that :



Code:

echo "" > /tmp/part_list.txtecho "" > /tmp/part_list.txt

for A_DEVICE in $(lsblk --noheadings -o kname) ; do...
...
        CUR_DEVICE="$A_DEVICE"      # A_DEVICE = /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc .....  
        gdisk -l "$CUR_DEVICE"  >>  /tmp/part_list.txt  2>&1
        echo "some code that printer understand as do FF" >> /tmp/part_list.txt  
done

And then the file "/tmp/part_list.txt" contains some thing like :


Code:
device : /dev/sda

ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
0x0c  or  do FF or .....?
device : /dev/sdb

ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text0x0c  or  do FF or .....?
device : /dev/sdc

ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text
ligne of text

Any help is welcome.

kde-build

KDE-BUILD(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					      KDE-BUILD(1)

NAME

       kde-build - Updates and recompiles a tree of KDE CVS modules

SYNOPSIS

	       kde-build

DESCRIPTION

       kde-build has been designed to keep a local copy of several KDE CVS modules up to date and recompile them. Those modules have to be saved
       in a common directory, e.g. something like

	   ~/kde-src/
	     |
	     +-> kdelibs/
	     |
	     +-> kdebase/
	     |
	     -> kdenetwork/

       In this case, the KDE source directory would be ~/kde-src/. The script will take care of compiling them in the correct order, checks for
       dependencies and resolves them as far as possible.

       Please not that, prior to first invokation of the script, the configuration file 'kde-buildrc' has to be modified to reflect the local
       environment, such as paths etc.

RETURN VALUE

       The following error codes are returned by the script.

       0 - No error seems to have occured.

       1 - The script could not change into the directory of a module.

       2 - The script could not open the file 'Makefile.in' of a module.

       3 - The configuration of a module failed.

       4 - The compilation of a module failed.

       5 - The installation of a module failed.

       6 - An invalid source directory was specified.

       7 - An invalid Qt directory was specified.

       8 - An invalid CVS client was specified.

       9 - No cvsup server was specified.

       10 - The temporary CVSUP configuration file couldn't be created.

       11 - The configuration file kde-buildrc couldn't be loaded.

EXAMPLES

	       cd ~/scripts/; vi ./kde-buildrc; ./kde-build

BUGS

       Lots, mostly that the script wasn't written with portability in mind and therefore won't run very nice on platforms other than Linux.

TODO

       Add a DIAGNOSIS section to this man page.
