Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
Create a script called DOTS that will display the horizontal or vertical number of dots if the first argument entered after the dots command will be h or v.
ust use the while statement.
3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
Code:
# Hello
dot=0
while [ $1 -eq "h" -a $dot -lt $2 ]
do
echo "."
dot=`expr $dot + 1`
done

This is the error wnen I run the command:
Code:
n0-greg@conted:~$ ./dots2 h 6
./dots2: line 4: [: h: integer expression expected
n0-greg@conted:~$ ./dots2 h 6
4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):
John Abbott College, Montreal QC, CANADA, Oswaldo Moreno, Operating Systems UNIX. There is no direct link to the course itself.
Note: Without school/professor/course information, you will be banned if you post here! You must complete the entire template (not just parts of it).
To handle both "h" (horizontal dots) and "v" (vertical dots) in the same script you will need to change the structure of the script slightly bearing in mind the previous post about the different ways of comparing strings and integers.
A script becomes easier to read if we save the input parameters to named variables early in the script.
For example:
Code:
if [ $# -ne 2 ]
then
echo "Usage: `basename $0` [h|v] dot_count"
exit
fi
#
dot=0
orientation="$1"
dot_count=$2
while [ ${dot} -lt ${dot_count} ]
do
# Horizontal
if [ "${orientation}" = "h" ]
then
printf "." # No linefeed
fi
# Vertical
if [ "${orientation}" = "v" ]
then
printf ".\n" # With linefeed
fi
#
dot=`expr $dot + 1`
done
#
if [ "${orientation}" = "h" ]
then
printf "\n" # End the horizontal dots with a linefeed
fi
I am trying to get the file extension with file names that could contain multiple dots using shell scripting. I want to find a way using the sed command.

Results:
dat
I would like to return dat in both instances using the sed command. How can I... (4 Replies)

and I would like to remove dots (.) and replace them with spaces ( ) so the output would be,
this is the name of my file.mov
The other issue that I have is that the number of dots (.) in the file... (6 Replies)
I posted this already in another thread, but was told that I should create a seperate thread for the following question:
How do I strip the extension when the delimiter might occur multiple times in the filename?
For example:
I have 2 files as input for my script.
test.extension... (8 Replies)

maximum number of dots in a domain name - not a sub-domain name.
for example:
mydomain.com ------ one dot
mydomain.com.au ------ two dots
do you know maximum number of dots in a domain name and could you provide a sample?
thx. (1 Reply)
