The need to create such an oddly named file is a little concerning. You would later on have to read it in a similarly convoluted way and your backup process may not like it either.
Can you elaborate why you think you need to create it like that? Other servers may not accept it as a valid file at all, so that may cause you other problems.
It would be helpful to be accurate with the ICODE tags too. At the moment, I'm not sure if you want to include te double-quotes or not, or if it even needs a leading space. I'm not wanting to berate you, just trying to get an accurate request so we can work on a suitable solution (or negate the need altogether)
Kind regards,
Robin

I'm trying to count the number of 2 specific characters in a very large file. I'd like to avoid using gsub because its taking too long.
I was thinking something like:
awk '-F' { t += NF - 1 } END {print t}' infile > outfile
which isn't working
Any ideas would be great. (3 Replies)

source(n) Tcl Built-In Commands source(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
source - Evaluate a file or resource as a Tcl script
SYNOPSIS
source fileName
source -encoding encodingName fileName |
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This command takes the contents of the specified file or resource and passes it to the Tcl interpreter as a text script. The return value
from source is the return value of the last command executed in the script. If an error occurs in evaluating the contents of the script
then the source command will return that error. If a return command is invoked from within the script then the remainder of the file will
be skipped and the source command will return normally with the result from the return command.
The end-of-file character for files is "32" (^Z) for all platforms. The source command will read files up to this character. This
restriction does not exist for the read or gets commands, allowing for files containing code and data segments (scripted documents). If
you require a "^Z" in code for string comparison, you can use "
