    mkdev tape - remove ?

    SCO Openserver 5.0 - is there an opposite of mkdev tape ? How do I do an rmdev tape ? I have a knackered DAT drive I want to replace but I would like to have a kernel clean of the original tape device. I know, I know, its a dumb question, but I haven;t supported SCO Openserver for about 9 years !

    OSR5 mkdev hd - I'm being thick ?

    Perhaps I should be looking at this a different way. 1) Assume I have a dead sco system (or at least a no-booter) on a hard disk - call this hard disk x 2) Assume I have a working Sco system on a machine, with disk mounted Primary IDE. Call this disk a, machine a. What steps should I take to...

    OSR5 mkdev hd - I'm being thick ?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but tried it with no success. mknod worked ok, and dtype reported following: 32 Unix 1k 40 Unix 1k 34 HTFS 42 HTFS but mounting 32 showd it was EXACTLY the same as /stand on first HD, and mounting 34 showed it was EXACTLY same as / on first hard disk, so they...

    A complicated preg_replace() problem....

    Do you HAVE to preserve the original HTML ? If not you could have a regexp that strips out HTML, giving let's bring the house down Here we are in the center of town then one to highlight br and center. Just a thought. David.

    What's the story with $result ?

    Not only that (all of above) but if I have a query to get a bunch of stuff, then iterate thru it in a for loop or whatever, and need a subquery inside the loop (say extract something from person table that wouldn't have nicely fit with a join in outer query, I'll use $resultp, $rowsp for...

    Regexp problem ereg and strpos dont help

    ingernet - what I was trying to do was find out where a complicated regexp lived in a string. strpos lets me find where simple thing is in string, and ereg lets me extract a complicated regexp (but prior to 4.3 wouldn't tell me where it was). The annoying thing was (prior to 4.3) that ereg MUST...

    Regexp problem ereg and strpos dont help

    sleipnir - thanks mate - someone else pointed me at this too. Seemingly PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE is post 4.3, and I'm using post 4.3 php, but with 4.0 manuals ! (silly me forgot to update manuals.)

    Regexp problem ereg and strpos dont help

    Hokay - strpos tells me where needle is in haystack. Lovely. ereg tells me that regexp is in haystack (and returns it to me). Lovely. Except... needle is a string. How do I find the offset into a string of a bloody regexp ??? Am I being really thick, or is this hard ? I want to find something...

    Local Shares - Completely stuck!

    I think my short answer is 'given path get share info'. Hokay - let me go into a bit more detail, perhaps you can tell me what I should be doing ! My app (php/mysql) is a training course booking system, running on an intranet. When a course is defined, user will want to set up a set of...
