Help with bash escaping while using screen command
Hello, everyone. I'm currently trying to write a command system for a Minecraft server using screen.
Here are the scripts I'm currently using.
0.sh 1.sh
The problem is that when attempting to send commands with backslashes in them, the screen command ends up trying to interpret the backslashes.
For example, when I type ./1.sh say \\\\, it'll turn into say \\.
However, screen then further tries to interpret the backslashes. This results in say \.
Is there any way I could write this to get the results I desire? (Also, sorry for the formatting. I tried my best)
using ksh on HP 11.11.
I'm new to HP, so maybe it's something I need to turn on in HP, but I figured it's probably in ksh.
If I run "grep aaa" (or any command) Whenever I try to Ctrl-C it does not work. I'm not saying it did work before, as I'm new to the environment.

I am unable to use clear or cls command on bash shell. I have recently installed Cygwin and am using that for practicing unix commands.
I see that I can use Ctrl + L to clear the screen. I created an alias in my .bashrc to do the same as
alias cls='^L'
This is how i defined other aliases ... (4 Replies)
Hi,
I have a simple question about I/O redirection. the question is:
"How can I redirect all characters from a Bash screen to a file?"
Let me describe a little more: I know about I/O Redirection in Bash.
and also about stdin/stdout/stderr. something like: # ls 2>&1 1>ls.out

e.g
/some/path/to/a/file.png
/some/path to/another/file.jpeg
/some path/to yet/another/file
Notice that these paths may contain metacharacters, the spaces for example are also not escaped.

I am currently reading a very old reference from O'Reilly: Sed and Awk 2nd Edition reprinted in 2000. So far, it's a solid read and still very relevant. I'd highly recommend this to anyone.
The only problem I have with this book is that I had to resort to bourne shell to get my examples to work... (3 Replies)
