<0> but atm i have more of an issue p***ing info from a sub call for some reason
<1> which was why standards were installed to begin with eh?> :)
<0> i have my(@email,
<2> Complexity leads to variety in implementation
<0> err
<0> i have my(@email,%header)=&imap_viewmail($imap,$mailbox,$id);
<1> longword been at that Guiness, Again
<0> and that sub returns (@in,%header)
<3> i would like to replace spaces and dots in filenames with a "-", but keep the file suffix (e.g. *.html). any ideas please?
<0> but %header isn't returning correctly for some reason
<0> ValeFiona same suggestion i always have, write a perl script hehe
<1> perl? LOL
<3> yeah, but when i asked for hints on some perl channels i got not so nice replies :)
<0> well if one knew sed and bash you could do it that way too
<0> hmm seems perl doesn't like it when you p*** array back before hash, if you p*** hash then array it works
<1> p*** da hash?
<0> yea it wants the hash first, go figure hehe
<1> bad code!
<3> the most headache i have about "this.file.name.has.dots.html" and replacing the dots with "-", except the suffix part so i get "this-file-name-has-dots.html"
<3> should i extract the sub string ".html" first, delete it from the main string, then replace "." with "-" and copy the sub string back to the main string?
<1> look out for splinters luv
<3> meanie :(
<1> i guess :)
<4> ValeFiona: Solved your problem?
<3> gcbirzan, i am trying to cut off the ".html" bit, then replace the "." with "-" and put the ".html" back. but thats not workie
<3> i think i have "awk & sed cookbook" flying around somewhere
<3> brb
<5> so you want something like s/.html/-.html/
<3> not exactly. i try to get this: "this.file.name.has.dots.html" to --> "this-file-name-has-dots.html"
<5> ahhhh.
<5> s/\./-/g; s/-html/.html/
<5> it's a two-liner
<5> or a two-segment.
<5> echo "$filename" | sed -n -e 's/\./-/g' -e 's/-html$/.html/'
<3> woah, thats much easier than my idea, cool :)
<5> ValeFiona: err, try it out first. Please.
<1> yeah even though Viking667 is only 1 score off of being evil, hes good >G<
<3> the idea alone works much better than mine :)
<3> lol Gaia^
<1> :)
<1> ValeFiona but im a 'meanie'
<5> ValeFiona: actually, strip out the -n for sed.
<5> woof....
<1> oh 'fun' :(
<5> ValeFiona: so, make it: echo "$filename" | sed -e 's/\./-/g' -e 's/-html$/.html/'
<3> for I in ('ls *.html') ... | sed ... | xargs -0 mv $I
<3> about that?
<0> oh for the love of chips why didn't someone write a list of freakin commands and fields for this damn thing
<6> ValeFiona: I haven't been paying much attention, but have you looked at rename? it's often a better choice for m*** renaming than mv
<3> oh, but then i need a perl expression instead of sed magic
<6> well, ymmv.. which is why I said often and not always ;)
<6> and there's usually more than one way to do things in linux anyway
<3> true that
<7> don't say things that are usually said regarding perl about linux
<8> you're fired!
<8> .o
<3> lol
<8> gah
<8> smalband ****s
<0> damn....
<3> for I in `ls *.pdf`; do mv $I `sed -e 's/\./-/g' -e 's/-html$/.html/'`; done <-- looks quite nice but does nothing :(
<3> errr, oops. the suffix does not fit
<5> lol.
<5> actually, you would have had all the . changed into -
<3> nah, same
<5> whew
<5> That's why I said - PRACTICE.
<3> i have to abord with CTRL-C
<3> abort even
<5> yup.
<3> so there is a logic error, not a syntax error?
<3> http://paste.getlinuxhelp.org/2004 <-- woah! i got it working :)
<9> ValeFiona: are you the same as Fiona?
<9> what does sed do exactly Viking?
<5> SSigSeg: look up its' man page.
<9> oh
<5> Because I can't describe it in anything less detailed than that.
<5> "Stream Editor"
<9> Ladybyte sed
<10> Sed is a stream editor. A stream editor is used to perform basic text transformations on an input stream (a file or input from a pipeline). Sed is located at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/sed/ or a pain in the ***, or see http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/unix/sed.html for common usages and examples
<9> I never think of her :) thanks Ladybyte
<3> Viking667, what do i put when i want to replace a space instead of "."?
<9> ValeFiona: #include <stdio.h>, int main(){ char c; while((c = getchar()) != EOF){ if(c == ' ') putchar('<some replacement character>'); else putchar(c); return 0; }
<3> thanks SSigSeg, but i try to do my first steps on SED first
