And by blank I mean, the field could be "" or " "
In other words, the field could either be empty, or be filled with spaces.

$5 ~ // { Action }?
What other ways are there?
Hmm.. in any case I think... (7 Replies)

ar(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual ar(4) NAME
ar - Archive (library) file format SYNOPSIS
#include <ar.h> DESCRIPTION
The archive command (ar) combines several files into one. Archives are used mainly as libraries to be searched by the link-editor ld. A file produced by ar has a magic string at the start, followed by the constituent files, each preceded by a file header. The magic number and header layout as described in the include file are: COMMON ARCHIVE FORMAT ARCHIVE File Organization: _______________________________________________ |__________ARCHIVE_MAGIC_STRING_______________| |__________AR- CHIVE_FILE_MEMBER_1______________| | | | Archive File Header "ar_hdr" | |.............................................| | Member Contents | | 1. External symbol directory | | 2. Text file | |_____________________________________________| |________ARCHIVE_FILE_MEM- BER_2________________| | "ar_hdr" | |.............................................| | Member Con- tents (.o or text file) | |_____________________________________________| | . . . | | . . . | | . . . | |_____________________________________________| |________AR- CHIVE_FILE_MEMBER_n________________| | "ar_hdr" | |.............................................| | Member Contents | |_____________________________________________| The name is a blank-padded string. The ar_fmag field contains ARFMAG to help verify the presence of a header. The other fields are left- adjusted, blank-padded numbers. They are decimal except for ar_mode, which is octal. The date is the modification date of the file at the time of its insertion into the archive. Each file begins on an even (0 mod 2) boundary; a new-line is inserted between files if necessary. Nevertheless the size given reflects the actual size of the file exclusive of padding. There is no provision for empty areas in an archive file. The encoding of the header is portable across machines. If an archive contains printable files, the archive itself is printable. RESTRICTIONS
File names lose trailing blanks. Most software dealing with archives takes even an included blank as a name terminator. RELATED INFORMATION
