I need to pass the content of the textbox into a variable. i.e. whatever typed in the texbox of the html page needs to be pass to a variable. This is because I am calling HTML (CGI as well) inside linux shell programming. I need to manipulate that variable as I want. Do you have any idea to do it? What I need to do is, I want to get the...
Hi, I encountered some problems with the shell function in php. I want to execute a java program on the server by running a php function on a php webpage. The java program writes some chars to a local file on the server. test.php <?php $WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell"); $cmd = ' "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.6.0_14\\bin\\...
Using OS X, I need a one line bash script to look at a client mac hostname like: 12345-BA-PreSchool-LT.local Where the first 5 digits are an asset serial number, and the hyphens separate a business unit code from a department name followed by something like 'LT' to denote a laptop. I guess I need to echo the hostname and use a combinat...
Hello, I'd like know how to do a plain substring match in a shell script. For example, if I have STRING1="http://127.0.0.1/" STRING2="http://127101011/" SUBSTRING="127.0.0.1" I want SUBSTRING to match STRING1 but not STRING2. It's like java.lang.String.indexOf(String). I guess the problem can also be fixed by properly escaping th...

I am editing someone else scripts and I see s/he has used this \c very often like echo "bla bla \c" which when used simply prints bla bla \c in screen. So, I was wondering why use it or may be I am missing something, because it is doing nothing at all ? I checked escape characters and I didn't find any such thing as well. Is there...
I know this is simple but I just cant figure it out. I have a bunch of files output by "svn st" that I want php to do a syntax check on the command line. This outputs the list of files: svn st | awk '{print $2}' And this checks a php script: php -l somefile.php But this, or variants of, doesn't work: svn st | php -l '{print $2}' Any...

The problem is that the variable ST captures the exit status of tee and not of command. How can I solve this? Note that command is long running and redirecting the output to a file to...
What is the simplest way to parse line continuation characters? This seems like such a basic action that I'm surprised there's no basic command for doing this. 'while read' and 'while read -r' loops don't do what I want, and the easiest solution I've found is the sed solution below. Is there a way to do this with something basic like ...
Is it possible to have a block (as in "rectangular") selection in xterm? If yes, is it assigned by default to a key/mouse binding or does it have to be assigned separately? Thanks :) Sorin ...
I'm aware that it's straightforward to redirect the shell output to a file. So I should also be able to set up a socket and redirect the shell's output to the socket, as essentially it's just another file descriptor (I think)? I've seen some example C programs that create some basic client/server functionality but (as small as they are...
As a new shell developer I came across many new articles that have links and examples from a website called Shellrevealed.com Unfortunately all of those links are dead as Shellrevealed itself can not be found anywhere. My question is, did they really shutdown or did they change their url???? ...

Typing V%!wc translates to :'<,'>!wc and switches the block of text for the output of ...
I am trying to run commands from ruby via system (or by using backticks), but am running into problems. When I try to call a command, the shell is unable to find it, even though I know it works if I call it straight. For example: `zip` >> sh: zip: command not found The problem seems to be that ruby is using the sh shell, in which $PAT...
