Hidden chars in Unix can be replaced?
We have some unseen chars in unix, like '^T's, can be seen with 'cat -v' command.
Is there any way, with which, we can replace these ^T s with a space?

I know this should be simple, but I've been manning sed awk grep and find and am stupidly stumped :(
I'm trying to use sed (or awk, find, etc) to find 4 characters on the second line of a file.txt 44-47 characters in. I can find lots of sed things for lines, but not characters. (4 Replies)

Hi,
I might be stupid here to ask such question but I was just curious on ssh login to unix boxes (solaris).
When we login to unix box, it asks for password, but while typing the password, the password characters (like asterik or anything) seems hidden.
why it is so?

term::size::any
Term::Size::Any(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Term::Size::Any(3pm)
NAME
Term::Size::Any - Retrieve terminal size
SYNOPSIS
# the traditional way
use Term::Size::Any qw( chars pixels );
($columns, $rows) = chars *STDOUT{IO};
($x, $y) = pixels;
DESCRIPTION
This is a unified interface to retrieve terminal size. It loads one module of a list of known alternatives, each implementing some way to
get the desired terminal information. This loaded module will actually do the job on behalf of "Term::Size::Any".
Thus, "Term::Size::Any" depends on the availability of one of these modules:
Term::Size (soon to be supported)
Term::Size::Perl
Term::Size::ReadKey (soon to be supported)
Term::Size::Win32
This release fallbacks to Term::Size::Win32 if running in Windows 32 systems. For other platforms, it uses the first of Term::Size::Perl,
Term::Size or Term::Size::ReadKey which loads successfully. (To be honest, I disabled the fallback to Term::Size and Term::Size::ReadKey
which are buggy by now.)
FUNCTIONS
The traditional interface is by importing functions "chars" and "pixels" into the caller's space.
chars
($columns, $rows) = chars($h);
$columns = chars($h);
"chars" returns the terminal size in units of characters corresponding to the given filehandle $h. If the argument is omitted,
*STDIN{IO} is used. In scalar context, it returns the terminal width.
pixels
($x, $y) = pixels($h);
$x = pixels($h);
"pixels" returns the terminal size in units of pixels corresponding to the given filehandle $h. If the argument is omitted, *STDIN{IO}
is used. In scalar context, it returns the terminal width.
Many systems with character-only terminals will return "(0, 0)".
SEE ALSO
It all began with Term::Size by Tim Goodwin. You may want to have a look at:

Term::Size::Perl
Term::Size::Win32
Term::Size::ReadKey
