I have two radio buttons with corresponding text boxes for input, when one is chosen I am disabling the text box for the other, is there a way to "gray out" the disabled text box using...

are there any options you can add to the grep to also make it search the subdirectories?

Is there a command where I can search my current directory and return all files with the string 'tcAccount' in them? I can't remember all of the modules that I used it in and I need to change it, I...

yes, that was the easiest way to accomplish this task, I created a file when my script began processing and removed it before the script exited, then I just put a check in to see if the file was...

the fuser script works, sort of, I put it into my script, I start one instance of the program and it appears to work fine but it never finishes, it just hangs on the last step of the prog, if I start...

I thought you were right about adding the grep -v grep part but it is always returning process already running and it exits out. I can't seem to get a grasp on the fuser option either but I am still...

what about something like this:

if [ -n "$(ps -ef | grep user | grep prog.sh)" ]
then
echo " Process is already running"
exit 0

it apparently throws me into an infinite loop and I must...

does anyone know an easy way that at the beginning of your script you check to see if that process is already running? I think it would have something to do with ps but I may be making it more...

that is very interesting and helpful, thank you, I'm new to this and have been mainly working with grep and awk, the introduction to sed is welcomed, I'm trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks!

Before I even attempt this, is it possible to grep for a pattern, maybe a partial sentence like "go to page 3", assign that to a variable and then use awk or something to pull out the 3 and assign it...

excellant! I was heading in the right direction but it is very hard to learn all of the syntax of useful commands quickly, thanks for your help, you helped me a lot and taught me more about some very...

C| |00000009| |00000000|

so in other words, i'm counting in one file the number of time s pattern comes up and i want to see if that number matches the number in field 3, in this case it's 9,...

i guess i wasn't specific enough, the compare is a little complicated. In one file i am counting the instances of the pattern with grep -c and i want to compare that count to the value in field 3 of...

is there any way to compare two grep commands in an if statement? like:

if grep blah = grep blah blah
then

is there a way to store the values of the greps and compare them? the greps are...

thanks, that did the trick, those nasty spaces! appreciate the help!

awk: syntax error near line 1

sorry, those single quotes didn't do the trick either.

changing the single quotes to double did not fix the error, sorry

why? I honestly don't know why echo is correct, please explain.

can anyone see the awk syntax error near line 1? I keep getting this error and I'm not familiar with awk very well yet so it is hard for me to see the errors.
fyi: deleteuser* refers to files in...

okay, I am really having trouble with awk, I can't get it to do what I want. Can I make awk look in a folder, and open a file, in this file there are four fields but I only want to load two of them...

sorry, just saw the reply about "field 1", it is actually field 4 so will $4 tell it to look in the 4th field for the chars?

wait a minute, how does the command know which field to look in for the alphabetic character? The other columns are alphanumeric, what distinguishes on which gets deleted?

can I output it to a file of the same name as the input, as in, overwrite the old file with the new one minus alphabetic indexes?

okay, in my script, I want to do a check on the index field of my table, if the index = A then I want to delete that line (my table only wants numeric indexes) in the file (the rest of the lines are...
