Program to tar files to packages less then 200000 bytes
Trying to write program to archive files from a file system.
I got some problem with appropriate selection of files in regard to size.
Algorithm basic :
-----------------
1. Remotely executes on machine ls cmd and its output redirects and sorts by size of a files :
2. Program filters this file and finally creates new file named log.January.1.array with structure below :
A dot doesn't mean compund variable in my example.
3.Then I want to construct engine which will sum size of files displayed above in first column and if it less or equal to 200000 then perform tar <list of files from 2nd column> and if greater then sum each line from 1 column then divide entire size of values in column 1 by 200000 to designate how many tar archives we need($nrOfIterations). Then perform division of population in column 1 to meet <=200000 criteria and again check previos condition.
Problems :
1. Dynamically reference variable names of $ArrayString1, $ArrayNumber1 by using variable $nrOfIterations.
2. Red colored code should exchange file log.January.1.array with file log.January.1.array.1 but unfortunatelly variable n in for loop references to file log.January.1.array before the exchange happens.

Hi,
If I want to copy a 1024 byte data stream in to the target location in 3-bytes chunk, I guess I can use the following script.
dd bs=1024 count=3 if=/src of=/dest
But, I would like to know, how to do it via a C program. I have tried this with memcpy(), that did not help. (3 Replies)

Hi all,
Does anybody know or guide me on how to remove the first N bytes and the last N bytes from a binary file? Is there any AWK or SED or any command that I can use to achieve this?
Your help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi,
I still don't know if there's a standard way to do this. I'm hoping there's a *more or less* standard way to do this across linux platforms but the platform in question is Gentoo.
Let's say I download a source tarball as tar.gz and I do the typical
gunzip app_to_install.tar.gz
tar xvf... (2 Replies)
