Hi,
are You sure You don't want to use -f (field) instead?
for example
cut -d";" -f1,2,3 < file
and so on would give You Your output, including the separators and will also accept fields of...

Hi, I know You already have an answer, but the following could be an alternative, insert where You have
***Some sort of sort function***
It's using the same idea but with other programs.

But all credit should go to where i found it, 10 Steps to Beautiful Shell Scripts (http://bashcurescancer.com/10-steps-to-beautiful-shell-scripts.html) .
A wonderful site that can keep You...

Hi!
I hope this may help,

for x in $(seq 1 ${#mystr}) do
eval "echo letter$x=${mystr:$((x-1)):1}"
done

It uses parameter substitution which is very handy when working with...

Hi,
...and a missing do after the second for.
Just filling in. :)
And we assume that branch has the value "G2 6"?
And that the second loop contain something else because the variables You set...

Hi,
I agree with previous posts. But I have found that Xming serves me well, together with Cygwin+bash and "ssh -Y" or Putty with X11 tunneling enabled. The font support has been sufficient. Easy to...

Hi,
I'm not sure about this one because I get three lines in fileC instead of 2 as You state, but anyway, it may work as a hint:

>fileC
>fileD
while read a b c d date time; do
grep "$a $b $c...

Hi!
This may not be what You want to hear but there are so many stripped down OS-distributions already. Maybe it's part of Your work but I personally wouldn't go through re-inventing the wheel for...

Hi, do You have one file name per line in the .txt file and no other text in it?
Something like this would perhaps help, assuming your text file is called 1.txt:

while read filename; do
mv...

Hi,
The period reads and executes the commands in the given file. It is a command, like the sh command. And the file does not need to be executable.

Hi,
a fast script solution (but not necessarily fast to run) is to search for some key string where the stack starts or ends? If You can specify such a string, is it data from the the top of the...

Good point, especially if one does other stuff after, that depends on IFS. Embedding it in the while statement is of course the best option.

Hi, something like this?

#!/bin/ksh
IFS=,
while read id name attr; do
echo $id
echo $name
echo $attr
done < id-name.lst

Hi all,
You could try this , by letting the IFS (input field separator) handle the logics for You:

#!/bin/ksh
IFS=,
while read id name; do
echo $id
echo $name
done < id-name.lst


If You...

Hi,
another way is to use the fantastic date command, if perl isn't a requirement, and sh is ok.
Example:
date +%Y-%m-%d -d "2008-01-03 -7 days"
or in Your case,
back_time=$(date +%Y-%m-%d -d...

Hi,
another solution would be to use the tail-function of less, if You have it, which I often recommend as a more flexible alternative. And at least on my machines, the Ctrl-C does not "travel back"...

Great, I ponder to much over my writing and there You go finding it all out by Yourself ;)
Yes there's a server mode as well...
Good luck with copying!

Right, fpmurphy, just what I was planning to point out, given the answers ;)

mgis, Have You examined the options in Kermit? Once You're connected to the host (Linux) with a command line interface,...

Oh my good!

Ok, first of all I would strongly suggest any other form of transfer than serial. But it depends on how much You want to transfer, in which direction or whether learning about serial...

Hi, use the mkdir command. Not sure if I've read Your tree right but here's a suggestion;

mkdir -p opt{/documents/tmp/backup/etc,/documents/music/work} pictures misc bobsgonlose

Hi,
dd is a tool to basically write the contents of a device, such as a hard disk, byte for byte to a file. And it must be an inactive device (read-only or not mounted at all). And the resulting...

Hi, I think You can let the date command do the work for You. If it's a valid date, it will echo the "Cronjob... " line, if it's an invalid date, You will get an error, like


Like this:

Hi,
I think tee is the way to go. The "-a" option is the key. Here's an example,

tail /var/log/messages | tee -a messy.log

this will give You stdout to console as well as written to a file.

Hi,
it depends on what shell You use, but in bash, "su - user" alone gives You an interactive shell. But the "-c" option (and some others I think) actively creates a non-interactive shell, because...

Hi,
was the user logged in with ftp before You made the change to /etc/ftpusers? Restarting the service does not mean that any active connections are stopped. You will have to actively end that...
