      Hello Kurt,              07 May 18 14:43 at you wrote to me:               KW> sed has been on my list to rediscover for some time. I think "Sed and        KW> Awk" was the first O'Reilly book I ever bought...              I know very little about either, honestly. But I do scour Google for        information. Once I have my own place and a dedicated computer room, I'd like        to get a few books on things like sed and awk because I know how terribly        handy they are.               KW> I've wanted to edit the argus.txt file to change Janis's uplink entry        KW> in a batch file, she's listed on the bink port, but feeding me on        KW> 24555. Any nodelist changes involve me updating the file by hand, and        KW> I used to be able to do that kind of scripting in my sleep. All I need        KW> now is more sleep. :(              I know sed and awk could do it. I hear you on the sleep. I am getting eight        hours of sleep but still feeling worse than I did when I went to bed        earlier...              Later,       Sean              ... The nice thing about standards is, there are so many to choose from.       --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: Outpost BBS * Limestone, TN, USA (1:18/200)    |
