<0> or rather:
<0> char* x[1024] <- what type is x[1]?
<1> sorry, I had to step away for a second
<1> pointer to char?
<1> is there a difference with where you put the * ?
<0> char*, right
<0> hell no, you can put the whitespace anywhere
<1> okay
<0> but i guess it's more ovious what's up in "char* p"
<0> so... what's argv[1] again for a type?
<1> pointer to char
<0> char*, right
<0> so...
<0> <1> will port = argv[1] automatically convert numeric arguments to strings?
<0> <1> as it is now, I can accept 80 or http
<0> you're ***igning pointers there



<0> why do you think anything cares for what's in the memory those pointers point to
<0> and why do you think anything would be converted, after looking?
<2> okay, any Soekris users here?
<1> I suppose they wouldn't
<1> jlam- yes
<0> mspo: indeed, no conversion happens.
<2> Let me narrow that down a bit... any Soekris users that have set up a Soekris as a wireless router/AP?
<1> hubertEF- okay, my program still works as expected without the sscanf
<3> I think riz did
<1> not me
<2> yeah, but riz is off in releng-hell, so I'm loath to bug him right now.
<4> is anyone on irc.he.net, or did it fall off?
<3> shaded has a soekris but I don't recall him doing AP
<0> mspo: try & see :)
<0> mspo, I have a different question for you:
<0> 80 <- what type does that literal have when put verbatim into a C program, e.g. as in i=80?
<1> hubertEF- i=80 -> int, i = "80" -> char
<1> I think
<0> right
<0> what happens when you write: int i="80"?
<1> hmm
<1> should give a casting warning?
<0> why?
<1> because it tries to force a "string literal" to an int
<1> although the compiler says it tries to make a pointer an int
<1> if I say i = '80';
<1> I get a whole different warning :)
<0> well, what type is '80' ?
<1> apparently, it's a multi character character constant
<0> which means?
<1> which means it's too big to fit into the normal storage for a singel char?
<0> which means '80' is plain nonsense :)
<1> well, maybe not too big, but just kind of wrong
<0> 'x' is a 1-byte constant of type 'char'
<0> *sigh*
<0> can i just send you home to finish reading K&R and then come back? :)
<0> i know there's many small differences in that stuff
<1> so I was right the first time?
<1> I read it
<0> and everyone has quite some impact
<0> but right now you seem to do mostly guesswork
<1> okay
<1> yes, I'm doing a fair amount of guessing, trialing, and erroring
<0>
<0> you can force a system into submission that way, during administration
<0> try until it works
<0> but for programming, you should KNOW what you do
<0> else your code will be ... yuck :)
<0> see bugtraq, security focus, etc. etc. etc.
<1> I've seen it
<1> that's why I was asking about the sscanf :)
<1> hubertEF- http://www.reallygothic.com/nullserverd.c <-- full source
<5> Intel Open Sources Graphics Drivers
<5> very good
<0> http://intellinuxgraphics.org/
<1> the os that supports all of those OTHER processors
<0> mspo: they have :-)
<1> hubertEF- intel hates netbsd
<5> mspo: huh?



<0> why do you think so?
<1> for giving life to old sparcs and alphas
<0> nonsense
<1> reuben- weren't you trying to find the last match in perl?
<0> if anything, they love us fr running on all that ARM hardware
<1> ;)
<1> mm arm
<1> mm small
<1> speaking of intel, those new macs are pretty fancy
<5> mspo: i was, before i figured out i needed to do more than that
<1> reuben- okay
<5> mspo: s/^\(.*\)\boldword\b/\1newword/ does it
<1> okay
<1> \1 is pretty old school
<5> mspo: i use libc regex and sed
<1> ah
<1> reuben- that would explain it
<6> hubertEF: no, but I intend to setup a recent Xen3 dom0
<5> what i actually needed to do was scan the string for any one in a set of newwords, and if none are found, then scan it for any one of the set of old words, and then replace the rightmost oldword with the corresponding newword
<5> not exactly regex material
<1> reuben- sounds like two regex :)
<5> i'd like to see you do the second step in a regex
<1> scan it for any one of the set of old words
<1> that?
<5> and replace only the rightmost one
<5> http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/
<5> "If you don't patch Windows, the terrorists win!"
<5> i wonder if it is difficult to convert commodity computers to use external power supplies
<5> like something that plugs into a PCI slot and the power posts on the motherboard, fans, drives, etc
<5> i mean the pci opening on the case
<1> okay
<1> reuben- I give up, but I know it can be done ;)
<1> (?{? could save the day!
<2> do what?
<0> hmm, nice toys at http://www.ieiworld.com/en/product_IPC.asp?model=ECW-181B
<0> i'm curious what the pricing is
<7> hey mspo - i think that disklabel/rpm issue is a bug. i did a fresh install on the disk that showed 10k rpm..now its showing 3600.
<1> bradd- ask on port-sparc or sparc64
<1> jlam- use only a regex to replace just the last entry of a string
<1> well
<1> replace the last occurance of something
<1> in a list of possibly many things
<2> I don't think it's possible to do that purely with regular expressions.
<6> hubertEF: too bad it's Yet Another Crap86 Machine :)
<0> tgen: yep
<8> Good evening.
<8> Oh. We're at 4.0_BETA? Summer's no good; I'm not up to date at all.
<9> evening
<1> reuben
<1> echo "foo bar foo bar foo bar"|perl -ne 'while (m/foo/gc) { $x = $-[-1]; } pos() = $x; s/\Gfoo/bar/g; print'
<1> that will always replace the last foo with bar
<1> and only the last foo
<8> michie1: Don't fix whats not broken.
<1> reuben- I'll admin that's more than just one regex
<10> ahoy there landlubbers :)
<1> scardinal- are you on a cruise?
<10> mspo: yeah.. surfin' the net ;)
<1> cruise ships have internet
<10> mspo: hehe naah.. I'm on land no ships nearby
<1> reuben- even better:
<1> echo "foo bar foo bar foo bar foo foo foo"|perl -ne 'm/foo(?{$x = $-[-1];})/gc; pos() = $x; s/\Gfoo/bar/g; print'
<1> wait, that doesn't work
<1> reuben- I like the first one I posted the best
<1> reuben- while (m/foo/gc) { $x = $-[-1]; } pos() = $x; s/\Gfoo/bar/g; print
<1> dsr- did you figure out your split thing?
<11> fuufuuubaarbaar
<12> mspo: yeah.. i figured it that moment i typed it here :)
<12> s/that/the
<1> okay
<1> good
<1> dsr- I was wondering if you were, possibly, suffering from the riz split problem
<12> anyone has noticed, the the ath(4) monitor more doesn't p*** on 802.11 ACK frames ?
<13> ?
