Sun Solaris Unix Question

Haven't been able to find any solution for this situation. Let's just say the file names listed below exist in a directory. I want the find command to find all files in...

CFS is just a variable I created to hold the current internal field separator (hence CFS - - current field separator) before I set it to $echo. And then it's used to set the IFS back to it's original...

It might help if u were to explain what you were trying to accomplish and I might be able to help further. However, in the examples you outlined try adding the following lines at the beginning of the...

Not sure if this is a Linux issue or specific to SuSE Linux, but, in the infinite wisdom of the developers they decided to do away with the dos2unix and unix2dos commands which were very handy in...

I think I've got this one figured out thanks to your valuable input. Much thanks!

What I did, based on your input :

I read each record into $LINE and then do the following :

echo "$LINE" |...

Sorry, but, maybe I wasn't clear enough in my original thread. tr won't work for me because I need to do processing on each string after it's been parsed and before reading of the next record. If I'm...

I have a situation where I am reading a text file line-by-line. Those lines of data contain comma separated fields of data. However, each line can vary in the number of fields it can contain. What I...

I have also tried removing the -name '*' from the command and it still gets no output back. I also removed the -name '*' and replaced it with -type f to no avail also.

That's wierd because it won't work on HP-UX 11i. The -name '*' would be a passin value from user input. It could be '*' or '*TEST' or any other wildcarded search parameter. They can also input...

Try adding the -name '*' after the -prune portion of the command and see if you get any different results.

i did see that solution but it does not work in my case. Here's what I had using that solution :

find /dir1 \( ! -name /dir1 -prune \) -name '*' -mtime +30 -print > filelist.lst

However, when I...

I've run into a brick wall using the -prune command to avoid walking sub-directories. Does any one have any suggestions on how I avoid walking the sub-directories when finding files in the following...

awk with the -v worked. Thank you very much.

I am writing a POSIX script where I need to set the FS equal to a variable that was set prior to executing the awk command. Is there a way to set FS equal to a variable that has already been set in...

BINGO! I did a hex dump of the file and found that all of the records except the last one have a linefeed.

Any ideas on how to get a linefeed on this last record prior to running the sed command?

I am using sed for a simple substitution (see command syntax below). Everything works fine except that the last line of the input file does not get written to the output file. Has anyone ever seen...
