Hi.

I may have mentioned in the OP to this thread (https://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/167400-bash-sort-four-lines-based-first-line.html) that the AHK macro script I was trying to sort...

Many thanks to both of you...
durden_tyler and agama, both.

As a tip-o-the-hat, a script that uses both awk and perl for my purposes:
#!/bin/bash
input="temp10"
if [ -f "$input" ]; then echo "Found your file."; fi
echo...

This looks good, except I'm pretty sure that in AHK, the "Send," and whatever comes after it must be on the same line to work -- it's a command syntax. So that may present an obstacle when...

BASH: Sort four lines based on first line
I am in the process of sorting an AutoHotkey script's contents so as to make it easier for me to find and view its nearly 200 buzzwords (when I forget which one corresponds with what phrase, which I...

It might, but I went another way...
You might say I kind'a bailed. I decided since I was formatting the data to work with the older (and in Cygwin, slower) script, whether or not the lines had one delimiter or two didn't matter so much...

BASH: Break line, read, break again, read again...
...when the lines use both a colon and commas to separate the parts you want read as information.

The first version of this script used cut and other non-Bash-builtins, frequently, which made it...

BASH: Interactive "cp" (and "mv") in a loop
Hi.

I have a copy-file script (and a move-file script) that I recently tried to make interactive. I tested the former on three files from a text list, and watched to see what would happen. As the...

Why use a Gnome "parrot" when there's Emerald Editor (http://www.emeraldeditor.com/). It was once known as Crimson Editor, and is written and equipped with all the same basic and extended features of...

You might want to "re-phrase" it as a function then invoke the function by name in either .bashrc or .bash_profile , as one or the other (https://www.unix.com/55461-post3.html) usually load with the...

Found another way to do it.
I appreciate the suggestions. Likely as not I'll be coming up with some scripts very much like this one in the near future, so I'll keep this thread bookmarked.

What I failed to mention is, while...

The alias works like this:
homeperm bigger-than-life-xhd.jpg http://www.wd.com/store/drives/excalibur-premium-26tb-portable-sata-hd.jpg
(just something off the top of my head)

You'll notice that...

BASH: Change alias to script to add a task
Hi.

I use an alias, "homeperm" as shorthand for curl -o. Since most of what I download via cUrl is graphic image files -- jpeg files -- I'd like to be able to change this alias to a script, or use...

SSH using the shell on the client side -- possible?
I have identical scripts on two machines: one a laptop running Ubuntu 9.04, and the other a Windows XP desktop running Cygwin. The files I'd like to process are on the Windows machine. Running the...

Thanks, Jim.

I'll start by asking some folks on the Exiv2 forum who appreciate new use concepts for the C++ library and know far better than I how to write the code to employ (didn't want to use...

Be that as it may...
I'm trying to re-create the script using one call to exiv2. "-Pnv"/"-Pkv" and grep are no good, because the output of the former is a block of text when set to a variable. So I have it writing...

I was just thinking of that.
This dovetails, coincidentally, with something the author of Exiv2, Andreas Huggel, and I were discussing on his projects forum just yesterday and the day before. The "-g" option in his command-line...

BASH: Script jams Cygwin to 100% CPU -
I'd like to streamline the code more than a bit to get it to run faster.

There's a thread (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-09/msg00596.html) about this and related issues of mine on the Cygwin...

There's Ruby for Cygwin, but it more or less requires the balance of the Cygwin/X package to install and use. One benefit of that being that you can then run Terminator, an OK-in-most-versions...

Don't those need defined letters and numbers to start with? And maybe there's a binary or two I've yet to become acquainted with, but I've never come across a l/Unix command "reg".

Could you give...

BASH find filenames in list that match certain "pattern."
I guess by "pattern," I mean something different from how that word is defined in the Linux world. If you take $ to mean a letter (a-z) and # to mean a number (0-9), then the pattern I'm trying to...

BASH: Getting titlebar and prompt to 'sync up'
This is an instance of "if it's not one thing, it's another."

I recently fell victim to my own stupidity in trashing, by accident, my long-running and very highly-customized .bash_profile and...

Here's "why" in spades.
Spaces in file names as they're being evaluated. I just ran the finished script, sans IFS switching, and got some of this as stderr:Evaluating #92 of 164, happy older redhead.jpg...
