Add a column at the end of all the lines in a file
Hi Guys,
I am very much new to UNIX. I dont have much basics of coding in UNIX, so please help me out of thi ssituation.
I have a file say for ex: ABC.dtd and it contains "|" delimited data as
test1|testing|test3|moving
past1|runing|test4|going
I need to add a column at the end of each line as shown below.
test1|testing|test3|moving|D
past1|runing|test4|going|D
for this purpose I am using the command :searches the end of the line i.e "$" and then replaces with "D".
%s/$/D/g
The problem is before the search begins, first I need to implement a function that picks up the file from the specified location and performs search and replace and pushes back thhe file to the original location.
This overall function I need to implement in a ksh script.
Could you please help me out of this?????????
Thanks in advance.

Hi all
I need to strip blank lines from the end of a file. I have searched and found topics on how to strip lines from the entirety of a file - however I need to limit this to only the last 3-4 lines.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I want to add \n as a EOF at the end of file if it does't exist in a single command. How to do this?
when I use command
echo "1\n" > a.txt
and
od -c a.txt
0000000 1 \n \n
0000003
How does it differentiate \n and eof in this case?

Hi,
I have data with approximately 300 columns.
I want to add a column to the end of each column with the value "1".
Is there a way that I can do this is ´awk´ without having to specify each individual column.
For instance, my data looks like:
pvb 1 2 3 4 5 ....... 300

cgi::formbuilder::source::yaml
CGI::FormBuilder::Source::YAML(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation CGI::FormBuilder::Source::YAML(3pm)
NAME
CGI::FormBuilder::Source::YAML - Initialize FormBuilder from YAML file
SYNOPSIS
use CGI::FormBuilder;
my $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new(
source => {
source => 'form.fb',
type => 'YAML',
},
);
my $lname = $form->field('lname'); # like normal
DESCRIPTION
This reads a YAML (YAML::Syck) file that contains FormBuilder config options and returns a hash to be fed to CGI::FormBuilder->new().
Instead of the syntax read by CGI::FormBuilder::Source::File, it uses YAML syntax as read by YAML::Syck. That means you fully specify the
entire data structure.
LoadCode is enabled, so you can use YAML syntax for defining subroutines. This is convenient if you have a function that generates valida-
tion subrefs, for example, I have one that can check profanity using Regexp::Common.
validate:
myfield:
javascript: /^[sS]{2,50}$/
perl: !!perl/code: >-
{ My::Funk::fb_perl_validate({
min => 2,
max => 50,
profanity => 'check'
})->(shift);
}
POST PROCESSING
There are two exceptions to "pure YAML syntax" where this module does some post-processing of the result.
REFERENCES (ala CGI::FormBuilder::Source::File)
You can specify references as string values that start with &, $, @, or \% in the same way you can with CGI::FormBuilder::Source::File.
If you have a full direct package reference, it will look there, otherwise it will traverse up the caller stack and take the first it
finds.
For example, say your code serves multiple sites, and a menu gets different options depending on the server name requested:
# in My::Funk:
our $food_options = {
www.meats.com => [qw( beef chicken horta fish )],
www.veggies.com => [qw( carrot apple quorn radish )],
};
# in source file:
options: @{ $My::Funk::food_options->{ $ENV{SERVER_NAME} } }
EVAL STRINGS
You can specify an eval statement. You could achieve the same example a different way:
options: eval { $My::Funk::food_options->{ $ENV{SERVER_NAME} }; }
The cost either way is about the same -- the string is eval'd.
EXAMPLE
method: GET
header: 0
title: test
name: test
action: /test
submit: test it
linebreaks: 1
required:
- test1
- test2
fields:
- test1
- test2
- test3
- test4
fieldopts:
test1:
type: text
size: 10
maxlength: 32
test2:
type: text
size: 10
maxlength: 32
test3:
type: radio
options:
-
- 1
- Yes
-
- 0
- No
test4:
options: @test4opts
sort: &Someother::Package::sortopts
validate:
test1: /^w{3,10}$/
test2:
javascript: EMAIL
perl: eq 'test@test.foo'
test3:
- 0
- 1
test4: @test4opts
You get the idea. A bit more whitespace, but it works in a standardized way.
METHODS
new()
Normally not used directly; it is called from CGI::FormBuilder. Creates the "CGI::FormBuilder::Source::YAML" object. Arguments from the
'source' hash passed to CGI::FormBuilder->new() will become defaults, unless specified in the file.
parse($source)
Normally not used directly; it is called from CGI::FormBuilder. Parses the specified source file. No fancy params -- just a single file-
name is accepted. If the file isn't acceptable to YAML::Syck, I suppose it will die.
