I have no idea why the original coder wrote that stuff, except it appears the s/he did not know about the standard C library date/time functions.

date arithmetic is best done with that library -...

It sounds like you are coding UNIX. From the man page for system:

Generally, that would be WEXITSTATUS(system("./myscript") );
Try: man 2 wait or info wait.

date -u causes UTC date/time to be displayed - FYI.

If you format date like this:
today=$(date +%Y%m%d)
you get a value like 20080111, this is a number - an integer.

When you split the input...

DOS network programming is not directly supported by TURBO C. If someone assigned this task to you then that person must have some linkable files to supply TCP/IP support.
This stuff is VERY old. ...

What narue meant - flags were set so the compiler put symbol names in the image file. When flags are set NOT to output symbols, then you get assembler.

What code have you written so far?

Short answer would be to have a while loop controlled by the totalinsert and money variables

while( totalinsert < money)
{
/* ask for money here, add it to total insert */
}
/* you get...

for i in $(cut -f 1,3 -d: /etc/passwd)
do
echo "${i#*:}" "${i%:*}"
done


This lets you see what is going on. ${i#*:} is parameter substitution- returns the value just before the colon -...

Do you mean 'will the compiler complain' - no.
'Is it a good idea' - Again, probably not.

Reentrant functions should have all of their data passed to them as arguments, and not use global data...

Consider calling stat() to get the filesize first. Open the file, then move the file pointer forward to some arbitrary place.

If you assume no last line is ever longer than say, 200 characters, ...

try:

#!/bin/ksh

export infile=filename
filedate()
{
perl -e '
use Time::Local;
$mytime = timelocal(0,$ARGV[4],$ARGV[3],$ARGV[1],

C version: returns pi/4

#include <stdlib.h>

double pi_over_4(int n)
{
double iter=3;
int eveodd=1;
double pi=0.;

Code caving creates a supplanting vector to user-controlled data sets, and is usually a game hacking technique, it's also used in exploits.

Therefore, it's usually an asm code block.
More than...

You did not explain your full data design. So the answer as to why 5 million hash tables =

one hash for one array.

Explain how you need to lookup values in each array. It would help. It...

You will need 5 million different hash tables.
Which meanns that if you are lokking for a given value, say -4, across all of your arrays you will have to consult each hash to see if -4 is in the...

You have to use either ksh (zsh) or bash to do this - ie., a modern shell with pattern matching.

cd /path/to/files
find . -name '*.err' |\
while read file
do
tmp=${file%%.das*}
mv $file...

I should have read this earlier.

The answer is no. Unless you are using the Realtime Signal Extension - ie., "realtime signals".

The real question is "Why are you doing this?"
It's not like...

try:

#
find $1 -type f -exec grep -l -e '/*' -e '//' {} \; |
while read file
do
grep -q ';' $file
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]] ; then
echo $file | grep -q -e '\.c$' -e '\.h$'...

sed 'n;s/$/;/' filename > newfilename

You need to use sed, and you have to learn about regular expressions.
based on your data a very specific (not generalized) solution is:

$> echo "Here's some text and ~this bit gets removed~,...

This will generate a report like you asked for.

nawk '
{ shortcode[$11]=$11
causecode[$12]=$12
result[$11 $12]++
}
END{ for( short in shortcode)
{...

I guess I should add:
stdc allows the use of memcpy with the arguments you stated. What the compiler calls as its own version of run-time memcpy can have any number of aguments. A lot of the API...

It's telling you that you're referencing NULL pointers.

It looks like you're trying to automate vi.

There are such things as "ed scripts" - scripts that invoke the ed editor.
You can use that scripting language easily. vi presents problems because it...

Why loop? you only need two rsh lines. You gain nothing by looping.

script:

# $1 = path to examine
# usage
# myscript /path

find "$1" -type d -print |\
while read file
do
permissions=$(ls -l $file | awk '{print $1}')

for i in vs01a vs01b
do
for k in 1 2
do
rsh $i echo $(tail -20 /opt/oracle/admin/+ASM/bdump/alert_+ASM"$k".log) >> VS_logs.txt
done
done

For "rsh" do you mean rexec or remsh? Or...

But yiu have to put the integer values out ther in the file in such a way that you can guarantee a read, ie, put it on a separate line with demarcation so you can see it is not part of the list (in...

linux is unix.

It doesn't work in cygwin, however - a linux emulation that runs under windows and calls the Windows API for time stuff.

If for some reason TZ is not set for your login process...

su or sudo

Read the man page for su.

Both of these require superuser (root) access.

UNIX only:

getenv("TZ");


will return the timezone setting. The result is in the form
xxxNxxx, example MST7MDT. TZ has to be set for localtime() to return the correct time. MST is GMT +7....

The short answer is "yes". If you give an example of the data then we can help you.

The way disk i/o in unix works is that data is parked in an in-memory cache in the kernel - it is not guaranteed to be written to disk when the write() system call is invoked. Every 30 seconds or...

Record truncation? Not normal behavior unless the record has embedded ascii nul characters. Lack of disk space or exceeding enabled quotas will also cause the output file to truncate.

grep has a...

file_name=`echo "$file_name" | sed 's/ //g'`


That removes any spaces in the file_name variable

What normally is done (assuming that only one of the code pieces has a main() ) is to compile each of the sourcefiles into a separate object file and then link them all into one program.

To...

This is allowable C, but can cause you problems if you are not super careful - meaning: it will cause problems. But it does answer your question.

#include <string.h>
int myfunc(const char *a,...

find does date comparisons for you.
Example - this code deletes files older than 48 hours (2 days):

find /home/julie/trash -type f -mtime +2 -exec rm -f {} \;

myvar="Hi there"
backwards=`echo "$myvar" | rev`
echo "$backwards"
