Since the OP asked, how to do it in ksh - here is, how to do it using the printf command or builtin (in ksh93):


printf "bla bla\r"


BTW: I really try to avoid using echo, because there are...

In GNU Bash:

man echo
.
.
-e enable interpretation of backslash escapes
.
.
\r carriage return

OK, try this:
answer=x
while : ; do
echo "waiting for user to hit ENTER"
sleep 3
done &
pid=$!
until [ -z "$answer" ]; do
read answer
done
kill $pid

anything up to 1:4 that is not constant is ok. If you scan constantly you most likely need more memory

echo "scale=2; 4 / 3" | bc

Another one:
echo 123x567 | awk -Fx '{print length($1)+1}'

Or try..
echo ${string%X*} | wc -cOne more..
echo "$string" | awk '{sub(/X.*/,"");print length($0)+1}'

The short (and probably unsatisfying) answer is: you can't - at least you can't using a standard ftp client. There might be more powerful ftp-clients out there, but using them will make your solution...

Check if your ftp client has a switch for being less talkative maybe. Else I guess you'll have to rewrite the ftp client ;) In an output (log) file you could just do a

grep -v "Local directory...

It depends on your shell. Which shell are you using?

Assuming from the syntax that it's sh, bash, ksh, or similar, check for a .profile, .bashrc, or .bash_profile in your home directory -...

You could do this with an expect script that took user and host as parameters, prompts for password without echo and then invokes rlogin and tries the password.
If it fails then terminate, otherwise...

Hi LiorAmitai,

Short version, without use of substr():
echo "ABC=ahaakl/123456/ksksk" | awk -F"/" '{print $2}'
123456Very long version using substr(), index() and length():
echo...

Do you mean ssh?

Embedding passwords in shell commands is a bad idea, it's very insecure. For this reason ssh -- and nearly any other login system like su and sudo -- make it extremely difficult...

As you seem to be having fun with pipes, what harm would another one do?


tmp_tail=$(tail -2 ...... | head -1)


Some sed (which I'm sure could be simplified):

$ sed -n...

In ksh93 that would work too, but not in ksh88. You can use this:
TMP=12345; TMP2=${TMP%${TMP#??}}
MID=${TMP2#?}
