dd can pad newline-terminated records to appropriate lengths with spaces, but they must be newline-terminated. Here is a utility to convert to newline-terminated records:
Having done that, you can convert it with iconv, pad to the required length with dd, then remove the newlines with tr.
In my example, I delete capital letters from aAabBbcccdDdeeEfffggghhhiIijjjkkklLlmmmnnn without changing length.
You end up with one blank record at the end, full of spaces, which I haven't figured out how to avoid yet.
Specifically what is the purpose of sed?
What is f?
Why is the 'cp f $phonefile' line needed when the script ‘goes live'?
Why might that two commands following sed be commented out at the present time ( i.e., during development)?

I need to convert a utf16 file to utf8. When i use the iconv command to do so it gives an error saying invalid function.
When I ran the iconv -l function it did not list the utf16 and utf8 as part of its internal table. Is there anyway I can add these encodings in the library? Is there any other... (3 Replies)
Hi,
I saw this. But I don't know why we need this?

pvmfstartpvmd
START_PVMD(3PVM) PVM Version 3.4 START_PVMD(3PVM)NAME
pvm_start_pvmd - Starts new PVM daemon.
SYNOPSIS
C int info = pvm_start_pvmd( int argc, char **argv, int block )
Fortran call pvmfstartpvmd( args, block, info )
PARAMETERS
argc Number of arguments in argv.
argv An array of arguments to the executable.
args A character string containing the arguments to the executable.
args A character string containing the arguments to the executable.
block Integer specifying whether to block until startup of all hosts complete or return immediately.
info Integer returning the error code.
DESCRIPTION
The routine pvm_start_pvmd starts up a pvmd3 process, the master of a new virtual machine. It returns as soon as the pvmd is started and
ready for work. If the block parameter is nonzero and a hostfile is passed to the pvmd as a parameter, it returns when all hosts marked to
start have been added. pvm_start_pvmd returns zero on success.
If PVM is compiled to allow running more than one pvmd per host, a task calling pvm_start_pvmd before any other pvm functions will connect
to the pvmd that it starts. pvm_start_pvmd sets environment variable PVMSOCK to the address printed by the pvmd as it starts up.
EXAMPLES
C:
static char *argv[] = {
"-d41",
"/u/jones/pvmd_hosts",
};
argc = 2
info = pvm_start_pvmd( argc, argv, block );
Fortran:
CALL PVMFSTART_PVMD( '-d41 /u/jones/pvmd_hosts', BLOCK, INFO )
EXAMPLES
C:
static char *argv[] = {
"-d41",
"/u/jones/pvmd_hosts",
};
argc = 2
info = pvm_start_pvmd( argc, argv, block );
Fortran:
CALL PVMFSTART_PVMD( '-d41 /u/jones/pvmd_hosts', BLOCK, INFO )
ERRORS
The following error conditions can be returned
PvmDupHost
A pvmd is already running.
PvmSysErr
The local pvmd is not responding.
