I love to be thorough and try to test all sorts of output to ensure code stability. I came across an issue and a fix but incorporating it together seems to not be working as planned.

The goal of...

Ygor, I'm directing this question towards you, but anyone else that could clearly explain, (you don't have to dumb it down terribly, but enough to make sense) but I'm getting caught up in...

I think I got it:
sed 's/\(.*\)==-=-.*\(\.\)/\1\2/'

The second bracket I turned what it should look for into literally everything. That seemed to do the trick. *cartwheels*

Thank you, I see now how it all fits together. Seeing the actual meaning behind what each piece is doing helps out quite a bit! As stated in the replies above, .pdf isn't necessarily the only file...

Ygor, I'm very new to sed and have only started to realize the true potential of it. I hate to be a bother, but if you could explain how your command is interpreted, it would be greatly helpful:

I went through quite a few threads and didn't find anything on this. I also looked on other sites and couldn't turn up an answer.

For completeness sake, I'm working off of solaris 10 in the korn...

^$

I did a lot more research and found that if I used ^$, it'll print up and through the last line and blank line that follows thereafter

cat /etc/security/user | sed -n '/root:/,/^$/p'

*Note, I thought I was in Shell Programming and Scripting Q&A and posted in a wrong forum. To avoid confusion and to inform people that I'm not trying to "spam" the forums, I'm adding this note up...

Awesome, that was perfect, just what I needed. It's much easier to see where everything is going now. Having not worked with array's yet, that explanation cleared up the questions I had about the...

Andrek, I put in your code and it executed to work great! I went one step further and added the following piece to list out any existing directories and it's corresponding files:

if [ -d...

Half of this figured out, made the following corrections toying around with it:

Where I have the bolded piece of the script, replace that with:

if [ $"{filelist[$i]}" = "d" ]

As you can see,...

Hello,

I'm currently messing around with arrays for the first time in scripting (Unix Korn Shell). All I'm trying to do right now before I make things complicated is read through and print out to...

Worked on it with my Unix Mentor and wanted to share the results, vgersh, you were real close!

2 ways to approach with the "sed" command:

Approach 1: metastat | sed -n...

Hello again, I'm still working on the redo of my script I created before and came across a grep question.

I'm on SunOS 5.9 and using the Korn Shell. I'm writing a function to check for validation...

Follow up:

Found some issues when trying to print out the variable after setting it. This is a note and reminder that when you go to echo the variable or print it, to enclose it in " ". Just so...

My hats off to you Perderabo, I thought I had tried that but I guess I didn't, putting your suggestion to use:

Korn Shell Scripting on Solaris 9

Hello, this is my first post, I figure I share a problem and how I fixed it as well as ask a question that I'm currently stuck on. A version of "Give a Penny"...
