Here is another copy of my favorite shell functions, since I kindof sent out garbled versions the first time.
I hope others find these to be useful. --kevin # txtfind, dostxtfind, and binfind all use Perl's -B and -T file # test operations. # # Here are some relevant sections from the perlfunc documentation: # # The "-T" and "-B" switches work as follows. The first block or # so of the file is examined for odd characters such as strange # control codes or characters with the high bit set. If too many # strange characters (>30%) are found, it is "-B" file, other- # wise it is a "-T" file. Also, any file containing null in the # first block is considered a binary file # ... # Both "-T" and "-B" return true on a null file. # # Caveat programmer. txtfind () { if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then txtfind . else perl -MFile::Find -e 'find(sub{print "$File::Find::name\n" if (-f && -T);}, @ARGV);' "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" fi } dostxtfind () { if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then dostxtfind . else perl -MFile::Find -e 'find(sub{ $crlf = 0; $f = -f; $T = -T; @ARGV=($_); binmode(ARGV); ((/\r\n/) && $crlf++) while(<>); print "$File::Find::name $crnl\n" if ($f && $T && $crlf); }, @ARGV)' "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" fi } binfind () { if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then binfind . else perl -MFile::Find -e 'find(sub{print "$File::Find::name\n" if (-f && -B);}, @ARGV);' "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" fi } -- GnuPG ID: B280F24E Never could stand that dog. alumni.unh.edu!kdc -- Tom Waits _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
