UNIX.com is not a 'script writing service'. We are here to help you write your own scripts, but you must do your own work and show your on efforts and attempts.
What have you tried? What error messages did you get? What output did you see when you made your own attempt to parse this text?
Hi Neo, thanks for the welcome!
Yes, it's pretty obvious that the forum is not a scripting service, and, I assure you, it's not what I need.
I'm completely new to scripting, and I know practically nothing, but I know other programming languages and conceptually I know what I have to do to get the result I want.
What I don't know is where to start, for example, I have no idea how to parse the strings in the file.
I was able to loop through the lines of the file and display them on the console, but for now, nothing more.
The next step would be to parse, string by string, to understand how many commas there are before the part to be extracted and to use this value to start creating the <ul><li> structure.
I have a html file called myfile. If I simply put "cat myfile.html" in UNIX, it shows all the html tags like <a href=r/26><img src="http://www>. But I want to extract only text part.
Same problem happens in "type" command in MS-DOS.
I know you can do it by opening it in Internet Explorer,... (4 Replies)
Hi All,
I need to check for a process, if the process is running then I have to create an HTML file, say A.HTML.
If the process is not running then I have to rename the existing html, say A.HTML to B.HTML so that the process which looks for the file A.HTML does not find it?
How do I do... (1 Reply)

JRUBY(1) LOCAL JRUBY(1)NAME
jruby -- Interpreted object-oriented scripting language
SYNOPSIS
jruby [--copyright] [--version] [-Sacdlnpswvy] [-0[octal]] [-C directory] [-F pattern] [-I directory] [-K c] [-T[level]] [-e command]
[-i[extension]] [-r library] [-x[directory]] [--] [program_file] [argument ...]
DESCRIPTION
Jruby is a 100% pure-Java implementation of Ruby, an interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has
many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.
OPTIONS
Ruby interpreter accepts following command-line options (switches). They are quite similar to those of perl(1).
--copyright Prints the copyright notice.
--version Prints the version of Ruby interpreter.
-0[octal] (The digit ``zero''.) Specifies the input record separator ($/) as an octal number. If no digit is given, the null character
is taken as the separator. Other switches may follow the digits. -00 turns Ruby into paragraph mode. -0777 makes Ruby read
whole file at once as a single string since there is no legal character with that value.
-C directory Causes Ruby to switch to the directory.
-F pattern Specifies input field separator ($;).
-I directory Used to tell Ruby where to load the library scripts. Directory path will be added to the load-path variable ($:).
-K kcode Specifies KANJI (Japanese) encoding.
-S Makes Ruby use the PATH environment variable to search for script, unless if its name begins with a slash. This is used to
emulate #! on machines that don't support it, in the following manner:
#! /usr/local/bin/ruby
# This line makes the next one a comment in Ruby
exec /usr/local/bin/ruby -S $0 $*
-T[level] Turns on taint checks at the specified level (default 1).
-a Turns on auto-split mode when used with -n or -p. In auto-split mode, Ruby executes
$F = $_.split
at beginning of each loop.
-c Causes Ruby to check the syntax of the script and exit without executing. If there are no syntax errors, Ruby will print
``Syntax OK'' to the standard output.
-d
--debug Turns on debug mode. $DEBUG will be set to true.
-e command Specifies script from command-line while telling Ruby not to search the rest of arguments for a script file name.
-h
--help Prints a summary of the options.
-i extension Specifies in-place-edit mode. The extension, if specified, is added to old file name to make a backup copy. For example:
% echo matz > /tmp/junk
% cat /tmp/junk
matz
% ruby -p -i.bak -e '$_.upcase!' /tmp/junk
% cat /tmp/junk
MATZ
% cat /tmp/junk.bak
matz
-l (The lowercase letter ``ell''.) Enables automatic line-ending processing, which means to firstly set $ to the value of $/,
and secondly chops every line read using chop!.
-n Causes Ruby to assume the following loop around your script, which makes it iterate over file name arguments somewhat like sed
-n or awk.
while gets
...
end
-p Acts mostly same as -n switch, but print the value of variable $_ at the each end of the loop. For example:
% echo matz | ruby -p -e '$_.tr! "a-z", "A-Z"'
MATZ
-r library Causes Ruby to load the library using require. It is useful when using -n or -p.
-s Enables some switch parsing for switches after script name but before any file name arguments (or before a --). Any switches
found there are removed from ARGV and set the corresponding variable in the script. For example:
#! /usr/local/bin/ruby -s
# prints "true" if invoked with `-xyz' switch.
print "true
" if $xyz
On some systems $0 does not always contain the full pathname, so you need the -S switch to tell Ruby to search for the script
if necessary. To handle embedded spaces or such. A better construct than $* would be ${1+"$@"}, but it does not work if the
script is being interpreted by csh(1).
-v
--verbose Enables verbose mode. Ruby will print its version at the beginning, and set the variable $VERBOSE to true. Some methods
print extra messages if this variable is true. If this switch is given, and no other switches are present, Ruby quits after
printing its version.
-w Enables verbose mode without printing version message at the beginning. It sets the $VERBOSE variable to true.
-x[directory] Tells Ruby that the script is embedded in a message. Leading garbage will be discarded until the first that starts with
``#!'' and contains the string, ``ruby''. Any meaningful switches on that line will applied. The end of script must be spec-
ified with either EOF, ^D (control-D), ^Z (control-Z), or reserved word __END__. If the directory name is specified, Ruby
will switch to that directory before executing script.
-y
--yydebug Turns on compiler debug mode. Ruby will print a bunch of internal state messages during compiling scripts. You don't have to
specify this switch, unless you are going to debug the Ruby interpreter.
