Hi, If the names and addresses in your text file are separated by one or more tabs, you can try this on the *nix command line: cat <text-file-name> | expand | tr -s " " | cut -d ' ' -f1 > <another-text-file-name> If the names and addresses in your text file are separated by one or more spaces, you can even try this: cat <text-file-name> | tr -s " " | cut -d ' ' -f1 > <another-text-file-name> The first option will work in every case. -Parul Mathur -----Original Message----- From: "Dr. Sharukh K.

porting a windows application to Linux
by Parul.Mathur 10 Dec '03

10 Dec '03

Hi, I am trying to port a large and complex application to Linux. I have identified two approaches by which this can be done. I was hoping to get advice on which is the best approach, as well as the pros and cons of each approach. The application consists of 2 layers: Layer 1 -------- * Written in ANSI C * Queries a proprietary database Layer 2 --------- * Consists of a GUI written entirely in MFC * End user uses this layer to communicate what search and retrieval he wants the Layer 1 to perform. * Some part of business logic is also mixed up in the GUI. - Many times the result set returned by Layer 1 is modified by Layer 2. - Occasionally the search string given by the end user is first modified in Layer 2 before being passed on to Layer 1. - Filters to queries are applied by Layer 2 code. There are two approaches that I have identified to do the porting: Option 1: Go the WINE way. -------------------------------------------------------- As expected, the ANSI C code of Layer 1 works perfectly within WINE. Not all parts of the GUI code of Layer 2 work in WINE. When a feature does not work, it does not mean that the problem is in its code. It could be in code which is some steps earlier. So I need to hunt and correct the errors by recoding the error producing code. The advantage is that perhaps this may be much lesser work than the second option. Option 2: Go the Qtk way. -------------------------------------------------------- I have studied a white paper on Qtk. As far as I can see, almost all the components in MFC have been re-coded by Qtk people so that they can be complied to run on GNU/Linux. My task therefore involves a. examining all the code modules b. separating the code which deals with MFC from the business logic code. c. replacing the MFC code by Qtk code (The business logic code can be pasted directly in Qtk. Right?) This is more work compared to Option 1 but there is one advantage. The same source code than can be recompiled for Mac and Unix versions also. Does anybody on this group have practical experience of working with either of the two alternatives? What approach would you recommend I follow? Thanks, Parul Mathur

need advice on setting up file server
by Rahul Saxena 10 Dec '03

10 Dec '03

Hello there, I want to setup a File Server on the network at my dad's office. he has 10 computers ( win2k , win 98 ) they open MS office applications and Autocad files. People have suggested Samba, so thats the way i am going... I have more doubts, but no experience setting such stuff up. 1) how do i do backups ? as they work with MSWord and Autocad they dont have much data, but some stuff needs to be archived and a small amount is frequently changed. ( CD ? Tape ? ) 2) what sort of hardware is required for such a server ? any special hardware. ( Raid ? , what sort of Hard Disks ) 3) Any other points which i may have missed ? Networking Equipmet ? Looking forward to suggestions and tips. Thanks for reading. rahul

Cannot ping internet hosts
by Nikhil Joshi 10 Dec '03

10 Dec '03

Hi! it seems that my ISP ( LAN based internet ) has blocked pinging of internet hosts. I am unable to ping google,yahoo etc. I need it to check whether I am connected to internet. Is there any other way to check if I am connected to Internet ? Also how to find out the current IP address of my PC ? /sbin/ifconfig does give the IP address, but suppose I've to use it in a script, how do I get it ? I've written this small script to get the IP address : /sbin/ifconfig | grep inet | sed -n 1p | tr -s " " |cut -f3 -d " "|cut -f2 -d ":" Is there simpler way to do it ? Also ifconfig is unavailable for normal users, so the above script won't be useful for non-root users. Please guide, -- Nikhil Joshi http://nikhil.ne1.net
