I use Dreamweaver...you wouldn't happen to know if that tool would work or if there are any raw tools on my Unix box to do the same thing would you? I think venturing off and installing new software makes me lean towards letting the corrupted files surface as I encounter them. Just looking for a quick use of the grep command. Thanks for your suggestion

I'm relatively new to Pro*C programming. In the following example:
char name; EXEC SQL SELECT 'John Doe' INTO :name FROM DUAL;
"John Doe" is in positions 0-7, blanks in 8-19, and a null in 20. I would really prefer the null to be in position 8 and I don't care what's after that. I wrote a... (1 Reply)

Hi,
I am trying to replace nulls with spaces in every record of a '|' delimited file. I used this command -
cat input.dat | sed 's/||/| |/g' > output
But if a space appears twice '| | |' , then only the first null is getting replaced with a space. The second one remains as a null. I... (7 Replies)

When I try to sort a file where some records contain nulls i.e. hex 00 the sort truncates the record when it reaches the null and writes message:
"sort: warning: missing NEWLINE added at end of input file myfile"
I'm assuming from this that the sort sees the null as a special character and... (6 Replies)

I am trying to count the number of columns in a delimited flat file. The record is tab delimited. When I use the command wc -w, I am getting unexpected results when the record contains a NULL value. I believe it is because there is a "word" missing.
The below example will return 4 words... (2 Replies)

I want to remove from a file the trailing null characters (0x00) and stop doing so when a different byte is found (which should not be deleted), and either put the result to the same file or a different one.
Any ideas? (9 Replies)

NAME
note - specify legal annotations
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/note
DESCRIPTION
Each file in this directory contains the NOTE (also _NOTE) annotations legal for a single tool. The name of the file, by convention,
should be the tool vendor's stock name, followed by a hyphen, followed by the tool name. For example, for Sun's lock_lint tool the filename
should be SUNW-lock_lint.
The file should contain the names of the annotations understood by the tool, one per line. For example, if a tool understands the follow-
ing annotations:
NOTE(NOT_REACHED)
NOTE(MUTEX_PROTECTS_DATA(list_lock, list_head))
then its file in /usr/lib/note should contain the entries:
NOT_REACHED
MUTEX_PROTECTS_DATA
Blank lines, and lines beginning with a pound (#), are ignored.
While /usr/lib/note is the default directory tools search for such files, they can be made to search other directories instead simply by
setting environment variable NOTEPATH to contain the paths, separated by colons, of directories to be searched, e.g.,
/usr/mytool/note:/usr/lib/note.
USAGE
These files are used by such tools whenever they encounter NOTEs they do not understand. If a file in /usr/lib/note contains the annota-
tion, then it is valid.
If no such file contains the annotation, then the tool should issue a warning complaining that it might be invalid.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
NOTEPATH specify paths to be searched for annotation files. Paths are separated by colons (":").
