The list is coming in via echo on standard input, and going to standard output.
(I am using OnMyCommand so my plan is that all I have to do is select the list, and choose the right command and it's pasted in place.
I have made some really simple commands in OMC for adding <b></b> tags around text, which is similar to this forums adding of tags. But trying to figure out sed and grep are too much for me for now. The main problem I've been having is trying to get the newlines in place, but for all intents and purposes, I'm back at square one, or should I say square zero. :-) )
I am not wed to any command line program, but it seems sed is the going to be best.
Any help appreciated! (I've searched all over and can't seem to cobble this together. I'm on OS X 10.4 and I believe bash is the default shell.)
If you want to take input from users you could use something like this:

I still had a bit of a struggle trying to find the correct options in the GUI OMCEdit. I was escaping with a backslash instead of "Wrap with ' for Shell." But the latter was the trick!
Thank you both so much!
I ended up using the first suggestion with awk, since I could get that one to work. The user-input options were not exactly what I needed. The last sed suggestion curiously put "n" after the opening <ol> and before the closing </ol> so I went with awk.
In case you are not familiar with the AWESOME OnMyCommand, here is a little info. It allows Mac OS X users to put command lines, shell scripts, and more in contextual menus (i.e. right click). These commands can be directed at files, folders, or selected text. Your favorite program doesn't have an option you want? Create it as a command and add it to the menu! :-)
My issue is that I find myself writing in various places that demand HTML codes and was tired of typing them in. I thought, "surely I can have OnMyCommand do this for me." So now I just write normally, typing up my list, then when I am ready to add the HTML codes, I just select the list and choose Ordered List and the codes are added automatically!
UNIX.com kept coming up as I spent untold hours trying to figure this out on my own. So in case someone else is trying to do the same thing, here is the plist that can be directly imported in to OMCEdit and it's up and running!
Just save the entire plist as a text file, then use OMCEdit to import it and it'll be added to your list of commands.
Hi there,
I am new to shell scripting and have been struggling with this example.
I have an input variable that looks like that:
FILELIST="100_*_123.txt"
that will produce a list of files if you use

The output looks like 100_EN_123.txt 100_FR_123.txt

Hello!
I've got a very big file (from tokenization) which has one word for line.
How is it possible then to rebuild the "original" text, knowing that <s> and </s> are the sentence-delimiters?
My file looks like this:

@data2 = grep(/$data/, @list_now);

I'm attempting to print to a networked konica printer. No linux drivers that I know of exist, but we've always used HP 5si drivers and have had good results.
We just loaded a box up with CentOS 5, and now when we print any sort of file from the command line (lp -dkonica <filename>), the text is... (0 Replies)
