Re: [ILUG-BOM] Search in a file

>\root\sandeep\log111.txt >This files has a lot of text and one particulr line is ..... >##Date 24-07-2001 > >Now >1. I need to locate the line "##Date" in the above file >2. I then need to store the date value "24-07.2001" in a variable. Which language you are using? I assume Perl, because this is much simpler in Perl. 1. Open the file for reading. 2. Search for the above string by reading every line. $_ variable contains the current line. You can do this by using pattern searching operations in Perl. 3. Once you find the above line then split that line at spaces and collect the required date in a variable. Here is the code which I would prefer to write. open(RH,"</root/sandeep/log111.txt"); while(<RH>) { if($_ =~ /##Date/) { $flag = 1; } else { $flag = 0; } if($flag eq 1) { ($str1, $str2) = split(/ /, $_); $date = $str2; } } Hope this is very much clear.

Windows/Linux IP forwarding?
by Satya 22 Dec '01

22 Dec '01

Here's the situation: Net DSL Windowsbox LAN(dhcp) Linuxbox The LAN, naturally, has a 192.168.0.0 range of IPs (I think it's a class C). The DSL modem is connected to the Winbox on USB and the LAN is a 5-port hub supporting a windows network, with my Linux box (say hello to gort, folks) creeping in using dhcpd. The Linux box, and any box on the LAN, can access everything. I think the Net cannot access anything but the Windows box on the DSL modem (see <http://gort.cjb.net/>. That's the Winbox.). Now I need POP3 (and HTTP et al, if possible) access to the Linux box from the outside world. IP forwarding is enabled on the Winbox. What do I do now? PS: Can I get a static IP on the internal network with minimal changes to the other boxen? -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> US-bound grad students!

Hi, I think a lot of people will be interested if somebody can post the script he/she is using for authentication in case of a dial up connection (along with instructions on how to modify it, of course). Philip had mentioned that he knew of an easier way. Philip, do let us know... Thanks. Parul Mathur

The Newbie's Guide to Linux
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 30 Oct '01

30 Oct '01

Hi, I have uploaded a document called "Newbie's Guide to Linux" that I had tried to write long ago and left unfinished. It can be accessed at: http://db.ilug-bom.org.in/NGL/ Please read this for more info on what the document is all about: http://db.ilug-bom.org.in/NGL/about.html#INTRO I would like to ask for help from people to develop the NGL further ... I will make the SGML sources available very soon, so that people can have a look around and decide how they would like to contribute to it. I have been using Docbook to create the NGL, and converting into HTML using sgmltools package.

There might be some changes in the directory structure over time, but that shouldn't really be a problem. A nice web-interface is also being worked upon. cheers! -- jaju
