[YAET] Yet another eclipse thread... is that a sunspot?

Not taking one, but there are better ways to do this than with the public Google Doc. See this thread.

Thanks. I'll try some of this out tonight (graveyard shift). I learned all about how the shell can't do floating point and have a percentage implementation right now that pumps out a "33.33%" report.

would something like this work?

for files in (*.txt)
    do
        echo "i'm doing things"; i++ ; percentageCalc || continue
done

And a complete answer: I'm initially checking to see if I should even enter the main processing loop, then if a txt file is found, I process the files in a

for files in (*.txt)
    do
done

loop. As a byproduct, I'm using the total number of files in a percentage report. I know it's a little bit of an unnecessary overkill but it's a very handy thing.

I need to know how many files of a certain type there are to make a percentage complete calculation.

Also, I read the part about not checking to see if the file type exists to avoid the "not found" error, but in this case, I need to know how many files of a certain type there are (to make a percentage complete calculation). I think I oversimplified my example, but I think you shoved me in the right direction. We'll see when I return to work.

So...

shopt -s nullglob dotglob
files=(*.txt)
if [ ${#files[@]} -lt 1 ]
then
echo "less than 1"
fi

?

And I think this is what I came for. I'm very new to bash scripting and love to learn that there are different and BETTER ways to do things.

So this won't work?

tthatfreak · 10 days

fixed. Thanks! I needed to put an extra line before the code or else it wouldn't take

yar, i'm just seeing that now, I was actually wondering why the text looked so fancy.

tthatfreak · 10 days

!!! not at a terminal to try this out but I had previously seen the 2> being tossed around to suppress the errors. I didn't know I could pipe after that... Thanks!

My fear is that since it would be a "custom order" it would far exceed the cost of what an off-the-shelf door set would cost. And then there's the issue of it matching the other door.

Thanks for all your tips! Are you from the area?

We made our reservations already. We're staying at the Cody Cowboy Village since it fit in with out budget. We're hoping to see the sights, catch the fireworks, and then drive back to Yellowstone in the morning.

the 24 hour pool may take the cake... I'll see what the big fuss about the Irma is about. thanks for the tips!

I checked. there'll be a rodeo the day we are there... 4th of July!

tthatfreak · 1 month

oh sweet, I'll check that out. we're planning way in advance so hopefully we'll be okay.

I think it is a title you are free to claim.

What about the rodeo?

She's not a redditor!
