Listing commands hang but work fine when piped through more. This hangs:- ls -ltr This works:- ls -ltr|more This issue rings a bell but I cannot remember the solution.

I manged to get one on the c++ guys to take a look and it was not quite as simple as my inital program. But thanks for trying xwb

He is some example code of how I can do it with the iconv command:- #include <stdio.h> /* printf */ #include <stdlib.h> /* system, NULL, EXIT_FAILURE */ int main () { int i; setvbuf(stdout, (char*)NULL, _IONBF, 0); printf ("MyFile\n"); setvbuf(stdout, (char*)NULL, _IONBF, 0)...

Hi basically the socket program all programs in a directory and the output is from the program is displayed to the socket when a connection is made. To simplify what I am trying to do if the file wasn't Unicode LE type I could just run the system command, type myfile.txt and that would be ok...

Thanks for your reply xwb, I was looking to do it within a c++ program as it is to be part of the output to a socket program I have.

Should I be looking at the _wfopen?

I would like to output the contents of a Little Endian text file. I thought this was quite a simple task but it seems to be not that straight forward, from a Unix point of view I would just use the iconv command does Windows have a similar command or a simple way to do this?

Found the answer to the problem, when there is a space in the file/directory name it splits the elements. So the list is being seen as ['/home/myfiles/abc.bob/a','file'] Instead of ['/home/myfiles/abc.bob/a file'] Thanks for your help Bob, as it helped me to look deeper into the problem and...

Thanks Bob now I know this should work, I will check back through. Funny enough if I add a total line count it gives me the correct number of lines. for line in info: total_count += 1 if 'abc.bob' in line: abc_count += 1

I am trying to find a string in a list element. example data '/home/myfiles/abc.bob/a file' '/home/myfiles/abc.bob/b file' '/home/myfiles/bbb.bob/a file' So from the data I want to find any line with "abc.bob" and then just count the number of them. The data is read into a list called...

Thanks feherke good to know the format option as well, handy for pattern matching things other than dates too.

Found a quick way round this. if (date --date $mydatestring > /dev/null 2>&1); then

I am writing a simple script in bash so that it is easily portable, is there an easy way to validate a string is a date? Example My string should come back in the format "2013-03-07" CCYY-MM-DD however it may be blank or anything, if it's not in a date format then I would like to ignore it...

Thanks feherke works a treat and useful information on the alternation something I'm sure I'll use through out.

Is there and simple way to do these two commands in one? $logline =~ s/[^[:ascii:]]//g; $logline =~ s/\0//g;

Now looking at "File::ReadBackwards.pm -- Read a file backwards by lines" This was exactly what I was looking for, posted solution to help others

I am currently looking at opening large files, wondered if someone could answer a query. open (FILE, '<', $file) or die "$!\n"; while (<FILE>) { *Do stuff with line } a) When you use "open" does this read the whole file in before I start reading line by line? b) If it does open the whole file...

You can use sudo to allow users to run commands as root, so thats probably your easiest route. Create a new user specifically for the scom and then setup the sudo to run commands that you would normally as the root user.

Change this:- find ./ -mtime -7 -exec ls -l {} \; To this:- find ./ -mtime 7 -exec ls -l {} \;

What about this to save editing the file directly, sed replacing all " with \":- ls | grep blah | sed 's/\"/\\\"/g' > blah.txt cat blah.txt | xargs -i mv "{}" archive/
