detecting consecutive filenames
I have a series of filenames of the format junk_x_###.txt where x and ### are numbers. I need to detect when at least 30 consecutive files (e.g. junk_1_001.txt, junk_1_002.txt.....) are in the directory. There are sets of files with similar names that need to be grouped together and counted separately (e.g. junk_2_001.txt..., junk_3_001.txt....) and whichever cluster has more than 30 selected. I also need to allow for the consecutive filenames not beginning at 001 (e.g. junk_1_100.txt, junk_1_101.txt.....).

In essence I need to identify 30 consecutive files with identical filenames as far as junk_x_
What is the best strategy to take here? I'm trying to cluster the root of each filename, list them and then pipe to wc -l to count them but not getting the initial clustering to work well. Any suggestions for this step?
thanks

Detecting interruptions in C

Hi. You may know how to detect when a interruption succeeded programming in C. Just like receiving a signal without blocking. Knowing when it was a keystroke (IRQ 2), or a mouse movement (12), or a disk access, etc. and getting actually for example the letter typed. Thanks a lot. (7 Replies)

gopen

GOPEN(1)						       GNUstep System Manual							  GOPEN(1)

NAME

       gopen - open files

SYNOPSIS

       gopen [-a application] [-o] [-p] [-NXHost hostname] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The gopen command allows you open a file (or directory) as if you had double clicked the object's icon.

       It is possible to specify one or more filenames which are interpreted relative to the current working directory.

       By  default,  gopen will open filename with the application currently assigned to the file's extension. But by specifing the -a flag on the
       command line you can tell gopen to open the file with another application.

       You can also directly print a file without ( -p ) or with ( -p -o ) opening it.

       As with most other GNUstep software, it is easily possible to attach the process to a remote window server using the -NXHost flag.

OPTIONS

       -a application
	      use application to open filename

       -o     open filename (may be used in conjunction with -p ).

       -p     print filename instead of opening.

       -NXHost hostname
	      attach to remote window server on hostname

EXAMPLES

       Open all files with a .txt extension in the current directory:

       gopen *.txt

       To open a source file in CodeEditor (instead of the current default application), type:

       gopen -a CodeEditor MySourceFile.m

       To print the .plan file in your home folder, use the -p flag:

       gopen -p ~/.plan

BUGS

       Using the -a application argument, gopen allows you to open any kind of file with any application you want. This does,  however,  not  work
       with applications employing the NSDocument architecture as they will only receive filenames whose types the application has registered.	To
       circumvent this limitation, applications may advertise their ability to open all kinds of files through the "*" filetype.   When  gopen	is
       used with only the -a application argument but no filename
	present, the application is simply launched without opening a specific file.
