Got a raise and a formal position of 'unix system engineer' in 2016.
I would like to thank you members and admins.
This would not be possible without you.

I will mention some..

Thank you...

$i should be wrapped in double quotes to avoid field splitting or other interpretations by the shell. If there are files with spaces for example, they will break your script..

Wow, I was watching for that and somehow missed it! Thank you everyone! Still glad to be here.

Please join me in congratulating and thanking Corona688 for 20,000 top quality posts at unix.com !

Heyas

Just a little fun script (code block) i'd like to share for fun.
#/bin/bash

# Function

num2roman() { # NUM
# Returns NUM in roman letters

Yes. If there is a chance that the first field could contain any characters that are special in an extended regular expression, you would need to not only change: sub($1,x) to: $1=x, but also to...

@Franklin52 - I considered that approach as well, however it doesn't put blank entry in field #1 when lookup fails:

Which is more simply written as:
sed 's/[^,]*, //' file
Which is where we started, except the code given in the 1st message in this thread was intended to handle cases where the field separator was...

I suggest you start over learning shell basics. What you write here reveals a deep non-understanding of how the expansion of file names (aka "file globbing") in the shell works. You have fallen into...

Remember this thread (https://www.unix.com/what-your-mind/161108-unix-linux-used-space-exploration.html) from a few years ago? What a difference just a few years make!

Those laptops I mentioned...

You are incorrect in several ways here.

cat does not do anything here. Your scripts would do the same thing without it.
cat is useless here. Your scripts would be shorter and simpler without...

Using:
cat file | grep expression

uses two processes,
causes the data in file to be read by cat, written by cat, and read again by grep, and
runs slower

than using:
grep expression file...

What have you tried so far?

Why don't you try and see what happens...

Elegant Solution! Franklin52 :b:

What I think the standard says (whether or not it matters, is another matter).

POSIX mandates doubles for all AWK numerics [1]:


So, at least at the outset, the valid integral range is...

From the mawk changelog:

+ add systime and mktime functions

+ integrate strtime function (patch by Dominic Letz).

I recently learned otherwise. Recent versions of mawk have borrowed this useful feature, possibly because some Linux distributions have taken to mawk as a faster substitute for GNU awk.

Tapatalk has been reinstalled for 2014.

Happy New Year!

Merry christmas to all.
