1printf "%d\n" "'A" "'B"
-
Doesn't fail for percent sign now.
0chr () { echo -en "\0$(printf %x $1)"} -
uses the previous "chr" function and uses it to create the inverse function "ord" by brute force. It's slow, It's inelegant, but it works. I thought I needed ord/chr to do a cartesian cipher in shell script a whie ago, but eventualy I realized I could get fancy with tr and do the same thing...
0ord () { seq 1 127 | while read i; do echo `chr $i` $i; done | grep "^$1 " | cut -c '3-' } -
2chr() { printf \\$(printf %o $1); }

Really useful way to combine less and grep while browsing log files. I can't figure out how to make it into a true oneliner so paste it into a script file called lgrep: Usage: lgrep searchfor file1 [file2 file3] Advanced example (grep for an Exception in logfiles that starts with qc): lgrep Exception $(find . -name "qc*.log") Show Sample Output
1argv=("$@"); rest=${argv[@]:1}; less -JMN +"/$1" `grep -l $1 $rest` -
Note the space before the command; that prevents your history eliminating command from being recorded. ' history -c && rm -f ~/.bash_history' Both steps are needed. 'history -c' clears what you see in the history command. 'rm -f ~/.bash_history' deletes the history file in your home directory.
3history -c && rm -f ~/.bash_history -
clears the history

For all of the jpgs in a directory, determine their size and if below a threshold remove them forcefully.
