But i want to make this bold chars in flat file.
I mean my target is flat file. While writing the out put to flat file, it needs to make bold in headings. This needs to be achieve via informatica
Woh!!! Didn't know flat files via informatica had styling capabilities like a word processor.
Unless of course you're talking about MD or HTML
Just got up, but if you tell this one to use ncurses so he has bold for his scripts.. you could use TUI as well.
Though, its 'termcap' too, isnt it?
But at least this kind of code works on Arch, Deb, Freebsd and RH.
Couldnt verify for Solaris just yet, but i'm quite sure it'll work there just fine too.
A flat file is just what it is (generally speaking)... it's text. I you don't plan to use a text editor to view the file, then perhaps what you need to output is something like HTML instead (?). That way you have some markup control than can be interpreted by the end device. If you wan to go totally old school though there is also nroff/troff. Basically the format that raw "man pages" are in. Yep... it's old, but still used.... and in some ways, can be better than something like HTML just because of the number of end device handlers out there (including ones for taking the format to HTML).
Does that make sense? Things like "bold" are terminal (viewing or output device) specific.

Well... because ncurses support both dbs... technically they'll tell you that you must call it a "termcap" package. But it does both. I only mentioned it because the FreeBSD mailling lists indicated that it's one way to get a terminfo db on FreeBSD.

Hmm
When i search for ncurses on youtube, i see plenty of C-like code, which doesnt look script'ish as php or java script for example.
Though, it could be perl... but then again, the TO asked for a script, and to my believe perl is out of that (general usage) range.
Trying to say:
With my knowledge, to my understanding ncruses seems like its providing a programming language API which then needs to be compiled - and therefor is not a script. (please correct me if i'm mistaken on this)
Furthermore, tput bold is part of ncurses support utilities, which was in this thread said to be not working on some systems.
Which makes my confusion - perfect
yes ncurses is a binary package. On FreeBSD to get a terminfo db, you need the devel part as well.
Scripts use binaries. In *ix it's essential.... scripting gives power to use those binary programs in strange and fabulous ways to do truly interesting things.

Oh.... and tput doesn't have to part of ncurses. It's just that ncurses is a popular package and where it's found on many systems nowadays.

People in general don't seem to care much for terminals anymore... sad, but true.
You really do *not* want to hardcode terminal escapes since they are terminal dependent. Better to query capabilities.
[..].
Well, it is provided as an alternative in this thread (since it will work in many terminals) in case tput does not work as expected, since it is not required by the standards, at least it is only required to support clear, init and reset:
tput POSIX maybe not, because POSIX != *ix (as weird as that sounds). But tput (with terminfo) will work on Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, SVR4 implementations, SVR3 implementations and most all SVR2 implementations.
Which is why I was surprised that FreeBSD didn't go that way.
So... really, I think it's probably best to say tput with terminfo capabilities doesn't work on FreeBSD but works (practically speaking) everywhere else :-)
Hi Team,

I know this should be simple, but I've been manning sed awk grep and find and am stupidly stumped :(
I'm trying to use sed (or awk, find, etc) to find 4 characters on the second line of a file.txt 44-47 characters in. I can find lots of sed things for lines, but not characters. (4 Replies)
I was using the following bash command inside the emacs compile command to search C++ source code:
grep -inr --include='*.h' --include='*.cpp' '"' * | sed "/include/d" | sed "/_T/d" | sed '/^ *\/\//d' | sed '/extern/d'
Emacs will then position me in the correct file and at the correct line... (0 Replies)
We have some unseen chars in unix, like '^T's, can be seen with 'cat -v' command.
Is there any way, with which, we can replace these ^T s with a space? (1 Reply)
