For those who care, I managed to come up with something more efficient. This code will also output even if there is no text:
a=${#text1};b=${#text2};echo $((a*b?(a>b?100*a/b:100*b/a):0))

I prefer to only use functions when I'm going to use them more than once in my code. In this case, it's only used once.


The strings are regular text. So long as the examples as we've used them...

Thank you all for you solutions. I ended up going with vegersh99's solution as it was the most brief. I liked RudiC's mathmatics with the inverse equation.


Since I cannot have 'division by zero'...

Thank you. This is cool in that it seems to solve the 'division by zero' issue. :)


Yet this works in only one way.


For example:

A better way to compare text length percentage?
I have a solution, but it seems labored. I would like to compare strings return a value in percent out of 100.


Such as:

$ text1='a'; text2='abc'; s1=${#text1}; s2=${#text2}
$ [ "$s1" -gt...

Echo displays strange output when '?' is used
In bash or sh terminal I get this strange response when using echo.


It's really best just to give you the code:

user@localhost:~$ text="?"; echo $text

Sed: would like to return an error for empty string
There are actually two things that I want to do:

1. Detect if there is a 3 digit number and if so return an error (working)
2. Detect if there is an empty string and return an error if so (not...

Thank you. This solution didn't quite work for me as it didn't end up replacing the text:


((1)) ((2))


I did however use this method of defining the variable with sed and it worked fine.

I've attached the results. None of the subtitles seemed to translate properly. At least with me. I made sure to get rid of the '\r' on each .srt file with your code.

This did help a lot. There still seems to be several missing translations. I've attached the files for you.

It's a great program, but I prefer my program to be independent. Most people don't want to have to install a script plus another program. Many are shy of scripts to begin with. My program does it all...

Combining two perl commands into one
I made a program that extracts quotes while retaining special inner quotes (in this case an 'x' followed by an apostrophe). The original program is far more complicated than this, but I wanted to...

Automating find and replace REGEX expressions in a script

Indeed it would! This is perfect! :) I'm guessing that this is far more efficient than using awk.
