    rev utility for windows

    Hi, I used to work on UNIX systems and moved to windows utility. Needless to say, I feel quite restricted due to lack of typical utilities on Windows. I've downloaded a few .exes which mimic standard UNIX utilities but haven't been able to find a rev.exe (to reverse the characters of a line)...

    Vi for windows

    Hi, is there a vi for windows which can be run at the dos command prompt as vi for UNIX? I'm a programmer who moved from UNIX to Windows due to a job change and am badly missing the simple ability to be able to type vi at the prompt, go into a file, make changes and come out. GVim, WinVi etc are...

    Batch files multiline comment

    Well, nothing's wrong with it per se, but I'm a little lazy to put in a rem at the beginning of each line, that's all. Thanks anyway, Sashi

    Cut last character of string

    Hi, I need to cut the last character of a string in a shell script. For example, I do an $ls *.c and from the output produced, I need to cut out the last character. Obviously, the string sizes would be different so I can't use "cut". How can this be done? Thanks, Sashi

    grep

    Hi, How can I force grep to return unique results? I mean, if the output has duplicate lines, how do I get grep to print only one line for all these duplicate lines? Thanks, Sashi

    parser

    hmm, cl.ex.. what wah that? too much work... I was just looking for something that will put nested lines on the left margin for easy identifaction of code blocks. But that's ok, I got my bug fixed (which caused my detour to tek-tips in the first place). Thanks for your help, though. Sashi.
