<0> why s = dir "" and system(s) returns 123
<0> and s = dir " " returns 1 ?
<1> what?
<1> what are you doing? and what's wrong?
<0> just spent hours re doing string s = dir " " and then system(s) returned 123
<0> whilst s = dir " " and system(s) returned 1
<0> Nope; its a DOS response ie if dir " " where the " " incloses a tab then response 123
<0> whilst if dir " " where the " " incloses a space then returns 1
<2> ****ty
<0> what?
<2> nevermind
<2> dont mind =) never is no good
<0> should i post the other 90999 awk mistakes i have made today?
<1> yes
<0> ok; i re read the book yet again; he suggests using $1 ~ $2 for testing ones understanding of regular expressions.
<1> indeed
<0> indeed; why does \5 have meaning in gsub() ??
<1> can you paste the line?
<0> im so mad; will try to find it
<1> \5 is backreference syntax
<0> doesnt it say any literal that is Not a metachatacter is itself eg \z should be same as 'z' ?
<1> what is the gsub line?
<0> found it:
<0> cmd /c %awk% "{gsub(/5/,\"xx\");print}" &pause
<0> a5cv--> axxcv
<1> where is the \5 ?
<0> cmd /c %awk% "{gsub(/\5/,\"xx\");print}" &pause
<0> a5cv--> a5cv
<0> ie first is as expected the 5 goes to xx
<0> but second; the \5 does not go to xx ??
<0> no idea whay the \5 is special in gsub?
<0> every time i post it seems to screw up ..
<0> the irc is unbeliavable; as soon as you post anything that confronts anyone; then you are banned
<3> HuH?
<3> ronins: What's up?
<3> ronins: Nobody /banned you.
<0> sorry i thought i posted legitimate questions; then banned off #distributed
<3> ronins: HeH.
<3> ronins: Maybe it's how you asked, rather than what you asked, that triggered the /ban.
<3> ronins: Ignore them. It's just IRC.
<0> thanks Eugene; its rod-cal from sacto
<0> did you see my posts from above?
<3> ronins: I saw them earlier; they made no sense ;)
<3> ronins: So I ignored them.
<0> well my posts made no sense; at least you did not ban me for so
<3> ronins: I don't /ban people for no reason.
<3> ronins: I may /kick people occasionally.
<3> ronins: But a /ban is only the result of something nasty.
<0> i can be nasty; but not on this channel for it is 'awk'
<0> off topoic: rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/london/aod/normanjay.ra?start=06:00
<0> Bring It !! 94.9
<0> unbelivable now:rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/london/aod/normanjay.ra?start=06:00
<2> moorning
<2> elge: update your mirror of my page
<4> I want to do some math on the number in /proc/meminfo on a linux system.. something like "awk '{{if(/^MemTotal/) print $2} minus {if(/^MemFree:/) print $2}}' < /proc/meminfo" - only working :)
<5> kolla: awk '/^MemTotal/ {tot=$2} /^MemFree/ {fre=$2} END { print tot - fre}' /proc/meminfo
<4> ok, I need to make variables,
<2> kolla: see xmb.ath.cx/code/x_free
<4> ok, thanks :)
<4> cool
<2> yea
<4> hm
<4> different versions/variants of awk answers this one differently...
<4> awk '/^SwapTotal:/ {print "swap.value "$2*1024}' < /proc/meminfo
<4> some answers for example 2.15498e+09 :)
<2> bad habit '.thing'
<2> waste of space and logic
<2> why * and not /
<4> to multiply?
<2> why
<2> usually you divide ram
<4> to feed into a system that expects "bytes"
<2> the value is in bytes no?
<4> no, kB
<2> i see
<4> $3 is kB :)
<2> try printf ".10f", $2 * 1024
<2> or something
<3> xmb: %d might be best.
<2> yea well
<2> like your +v ? :)
<3> xmb: Sure.
<2> gg
<2> you cook-er
<3> xmb: goldfish has been really quiet since I +o him :)
<2> yea
<2> dunno =)
<3> xmb: Yeah, he's still got it.
<3> xmb: Even afte a couple of net splits.
<2> gg
<2> got me a scripting idea?
<2> the last script is called find_files.sh
<2> it finds <single_file[s]> definitions found by find(1)
<3> xmb: I had a great interview question script. I should ask you that one.
<2> ask questions simply?
<2> i have one like that already
<2> randomly say things
<3> xmb: I'll have to remember the question and the conditions.
<3> xmb: One of those where you have to do something but awk won't let you backtrack, etc.
<2> you mean a manuscript or a script
<2> we need awk2
<2> lets code pred
<2> i give specs, you code the C based on mawk
<2> its simply additions to the awk proto/lang
<2> like every /regex/ should produce RSTART and RLENGTH
<2> then also grouped regex support
<4> I use %d, thanks for the tip
<3> xmb: I'd rather remove regex from awk altogether.
<2> uhhh no
<2> wtf
<2> regex is a very important part
<3> xmb: Regex ****s.
<2> uh it owns
<2> what alternatives can you show
<2> what would u use to parse homeless html
<2> or homeless weird data
<2> regexes =)
<2> mac needs such an inventation
<4> I typically want a "match everything but <pattern>" and strugle hard every time :)
<4> from amigados I was used to ~(pattern), and extended globbing in bash and zsh has similar solutions
<4> but with regexp, my brain quickly gets hot :)
<4> some way of "flip" the pattern matching would be nice
<4> s/of/to
<3> kolla: HeH.
