Not sure if fuser will work on all flavours of UNIX.

This will loop until the file is copied. It will check every 60 seconds to see if the file is still locked and copy it when it's unlocked.

I...

Hi Gina,

Try something along these lines

sed 's!\\r\\r\\n!\\r\\n!g' file.txt
Hope this helps.

The easiest soltion would be to copy the lot then remove folders 2 & 3.

It's difficult to say what the cause is from looking at the script. Maybe a new line character is appended to the end of one of the variables.

you could try this with each of the variables before...

There are loads of ways to do it.

Another is

echo "1 + 2" | bc

Hi,

I'm sure somebody will correct me if I am wrong here but I don't think awk loops through the fields on each record and therefore there isn't a current field as such.
The main input loop is...

Hi,

I might be missing the point of the question but can't you just do

get test.$DATESTAMP.dmp

instead of

mget test*.*

Matt.

This method works for me

while read line
do
echo "$line"
done < filename

Note the double quotes round the variable

Strangely enough the quotes don't work using a for loop. Not...

You could use gzip to compress on linux and the same tool to decompress on UNIX.

Just redirect the output to a log file using >

e.g.

find . -exec grep string {} \; > ./mylog

Hi nhatch,

The syntax errors are caused by the -ne being used with a value in quotes.

-ne shoudl be used with numbers.
If you are comping strings use !=

e.g.

if [ $1 != "07[0-9]\{9,9\}"...

It could be either - which is not very helpful.

The easiest way to check would be to try another monitor. If it continues it's the video card. If not it's the monitor.

Also does it only happen...

You can set up an ftp site on the NT box using IIS.

I may be wrong but I don't think

if [ $1 = 44* ]; then

Will work with wildcards

You may need to use the ksh version

[[ $1 = 44* ]] && ....

Matt.

You will need to pass $X into awk using the -v flag as follows

awk -F: -vgrp=$X '$1 ~ grp {print $3}' /etc/group

the awk varaible grp holds the value of $X

Matt.

Good point.

awk -F: '$1 ~ /dev/ {print $3}' /etc/group

Will only print the 3rd column on lines where the 1st column is "dev"

Matt.

Hi Sleepster,

This shows how to do it for a group called dev.

grep dev /etc/group | awk -F: '{print $3}'

Matt.

They are only valid within awk. You can capture awk's output to a variable or file if you want.

e.g.

user=`awk -F, '{print tolower(substr($1,0,1)) tolower(substr($1,match($1," ")+1,7))}' file1`...

This will give you what you want as far as the username is concerned :

awk -F, '{print tolower(substr($1,0,1)) tolower(substr($1,match($1," ")+1,7))}' file1

Where file1 contains

John...

My last post was slightly innacurate. If you just want to lowercase the first letter do :

echo "Word" | cut -c1 | tr [A-Z] [a-z]

Which would return "w"

Matt.

Hi Sleepster,

Awk would be your best bet for manipulating fields in a comma seperated file.
If you post your file and what you want as the output we will be able to help.

To retreive the...

yoyomamma,

I don't think that what you're asking can be done in ftp.

Matt.

Hi pnxi,

Again using AWK, this will ignore jpg and gif files. You will need to add jpeg and png files.

awk '! ($2 ~ /jpg/ || $2 ~ /gif/) {print $0}' tmp

It's worth taking the time to learn...

Not sure I understand the question. If you want to transfer a file from your machine to another machine that you have an account on then ftp is the way to go.

ftp remote_machinename
cd remote...

Awk is also a natural choice to do this sort of job.

awk 'BEGIN{total=0}
{total += $1}
END{print total}' tmp

Use something like the above but before implementing it into your script get a...
