I have a solution, but it seems labored. I would like to compare strings return a value in percent out of 100.
Such as:
i.e., 'abc' is 300% longer than 'a'
For beginners: s1=${#text1} will return the length of $text1. In this case it would return '1' because it is one character long ('a').
I've looked at the man pages for 'diff' and some others and haven't figured out an easy way that this could be done in a more simple manner; yet, something tells me I'm missing something. I'm repeating the formulas, and I'm wondering if there is perhaps some way to do an inverse of a result... Anyways, it seems redundant.
I need to compare two files with exactly same length as example: -
File1 contain 500 records with length of 640 chars of each line.
File2 contain 1500 records with length of 640 chars of each line.
I need get an output to be written in File3 which will contain 1000 records difference.

Need a script that manipulates a fixed length file that will compare 2 fields in that file and if they are equal write that line to a new file.
i.e. If fields 87-93 = fields 119-125, then write the entire line to a new file. Do this for every line in the file. After we get only the fields... (1 Reply)
I have two very large datasets (>100MB) in a simple vertical list format. They are of different size and with different order and formatting (e.g. whitespace and some other minor cruft that would thwart easy regex).
Let's call them set1 and set2.
I want to check set2 to see if it contains... (2 Replies)
Hi,
Can anyone help with a effective solution ?
I need to change a variable length text field (between 1 - 18 characters) to a fixed length text of 18 characters with the unused portion, at the end, filled with spaces.
The text field is actually field 10 of a .csv file however I could cut... (7 Replies)
Hello,
Is there anyway that I can align a pipe delimited text file by the maxium field length where the field is separated out by pipes for large text files with more than
100,000 rows?
So, far I have searched other forums and google about aligning text files in unix and I have noticed that... (7 Replies)

XDEVICEBELL(3)XDEVICEBELL(3)NAME
XDeviceBell - ring a bell on a device supported through the input extension
SYNOPSIS
#include <X11/extensions/XInput.h>
Status XDeviceBell( Display *display,
XDevice *device,
XID feedbackclass,
XID feedbackid,
int percent);
display
Specifies the connection to the X server.
device
Specifies the device with which the bell is associated.
feedbackclass
Specifies the class of the feedback with which the bell
is associated.
feedbackid
Specifies the id of the feedback with which the bell is
associated.
percent
Specifies the volume in the range -100 to 100 at which
the bell should be rung.
DESCRIPTION
The XDeviceBell request causes the server to ring a bell on the
specified feedback of the specified device, if possible. The
specified volume is relative to the base volume for the bell.
If an invalid device is specified, a BadDevice error will be
returned. The feedbackclass and feedbackid parameters contain
values returned by an XGetFeedbackControl request and uniquely
identify the bell to ring. If a feedbackclass is specified that
does not support a bell, or if a nonexistent feedbackid is
specified, or a percent value is specified that is not in the
range -100 to 100, a BadValue error will be returned.
The volume at which the bell is rung when the percent argument
is nonnegative is: base - [(base * percent) / 100] + percent
The volume at which the bell rings when the percent argument is
negative is: base + [(base * percent) / 100]
To change the base volume of the bell, use
XChangeFeedbackControl.
XDeviceBell can generate a BadDevice or a BadValue error.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadDevice
An invalid device was specified. The specified device
does not exist, or has not been opened by this client
via XOpenInputDevice.
BadValue
An invalid feedbackclass, feedbackid, or percent value
was specified.
