Re: [ILUG-BOM] Search in a file

>\root\sandeep\log111.txt >This files has a lot of text and one particulr line is ..... >##Date 24-07-2001 > >Now >1. I need to locate the line "##Date" in the above file >2. I then need to store the date value "24-07.2001" in a variable. Which language you are using? I assume Perl, because this is much simpler in Perl. 1. Open the file for reading. 2. Search for the above string by reading every line. $_ variable contains the current line. You can do this by using pattern searching operations in Perl. 3. Once you find the above line then split that line at spaces and collect the required date in a variable. Here is the code which I would prefer to write. open(RH,"</root/sandeep/log111.txt"); while(<RH>) { if($_ =~ /##Date/) { $flag = 1; } else { $flag = 0; } if($flag eq 1) { ($str1, $str2) = split(/ /, $_); $date = $str2; } } Hope this is very much clear.

We don't need no dependencies
by Nikhil Joshi 06 Aug '01

06 Aug '01

The dependency stuff in Linux is really frustrating . I mean when I download some new software and try to install it , it shows some dependency problems. To give you an example recently I downloaded a a mail client called mahogany which had 2 dependencies. Now I downloaded the reqd package to solve it. To my surprise that package had 5 unsolved dependencies ! I gave up the idea thinking that I would be running around in circles. I had same nightmarish experience when I tried to upgrade rpm 3 to rpm 4 Is there some distribution available which gets over this problem ? Linux is so well organized in other ways then why this irrational dependency thing . Why can't developers make standalone software ?

Special chars, how to type
by Manish Jethani 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

I would like to know how I can type special characters, like the copyright and trademark symbols, on the terminal. There must be a set of key combinations documented somewhere. I believe these characters fall within the ASCII range. Please don't give emacs-specific solutions. I don't use emacs. Tnx. Manish

by Mayur Joshi 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

Dear Linuxers, After installing Debian 2.2 and trying to start the X server, the X server crashed giving out the error as Fatal Server Error Cannot open mouse(No such file or directory) Somewhere I messed up with the mouse config, but I dont know how to config mouse later after the installation of Debian system. Does gpmconfig configures mouse? Anyways it gave me command not found. Awaiting reply, Regards, Mayur _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
