The ogg files are named by default like: 11_sun_in_your_face.ogg The encode file format is set to ~/mp3/%A/%d/%t_%n.ogg I want capital letters in the beginning of every word and spaces instead of underlines between the words. How shoud I set the encode file format to get the following file name: 11_Sun In Your Face.ogg Thanks in advance, Fifner This is Linux, you'll have to do that manually to each file you encode. Or, you can use another app like easytag. But seriously now folks, there should be an option in options somewhere that says replace spaces with underscores. I'd say if you uncheck that you should be set except for the capital letters. My first instinct is man tr on that one. tr only matches single characters, it could uppercase the whole name, Like I always say, never trust your first instinct ;) but it isn't up to capitalising each word. The required command is something like: for $i in *.ogg do mv $i `echo $i|sed s/\([_ ]\)\([a-z]\)/\1\u\2/g` done The sed command is correct, but I get syntax errors on the 'for', maybe someone can jump in and correct me. If the filename has spaces in it you need to quote $i in the mv command, i.e. 'mv $i ...'. True. but I couldn't get it to get that far. It complains that mv is unexpected. Something to do with the for syntax that I couldn't find the right mystical incantation for. If you're interested, here's a comp.unix.shell search on change case: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=enlr=ie=ISO-8859-1q=change+case meta=group%3Dcomp.unix.shell There I found this script that works for converting to initial caps: #!/bin/sed -f s/$/aAbBcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjJkKlLmMnNoOpPqQrRsStTuUvVwWxXyYzZ/ s/^\([a-z]\)\(.*\1\)\(.\)/\3\2\3/ :more s/\([ ]\)\([a-z]\)\(.*\2\)\(.\)/\1\4\3\4/ t more s/aA[b-zB-Z]*$// That is a general purpose script for handling text. In this case we can be simpler and still get the job done. (the stuff in the first pair of brackets after :more is a space and a tab.) However, it will not work with a file named 11_fun in the sun.ogg as 11_fun counts as a word. Add a _ to the space and tab and it would work.

Re: [newbie] exotic letters =?utf-8?q?problem
Sorry to hear that, Fifner. Then someone wiser than me (most on this list are) will probably step in. BTW : is it only gFTP that causes trouble ? What about text editors, word processors, browsers etc. ? Judging from the subject line on this thread it's likely to be a UTF problem ? What happens when you change your encodings in mailers, browsers etc. ? Kaj Haulrich. The problems this far are sending it over ftp and compressing it. When I right click a folder in konqueror and choose to zip it there is a problem with the non enlish characters. They are replaced by other wierd characters. I don't know what program is used. When I tar a folder there is no problem. Text editors, word processors, browsers etc are no problem...

[newbie] Where is proftpd?
Hi, I ran the ftp utility in the mandrake control center (mandrake9). It installed proftpd for me. Where can I find proftpd? And does it run with a GUI? If not, can I get a GUI for it?

[newbie] CD gone in linux
Hi, I took my cd player off the computer and started linux without it. After that I put the cd player back and restarted linux and the cd was not there. In konqueror it just says 0 Items - 0 Files - 0 Directories. When trying to install software it asks for the cd3 but just spits them out. How do I get my cd player back?

Re: [newbie] Case Sensativity on web pages
Its a pretty simple web page, and converting everything to lowercase would be fine. How many people do you know specifiy different file names on a web site by capitalization? Personally, I don't know any. I just wanted to make sure that people can see the site even if they have a problem typing uppercase and lowercase when they think it is proper. Its really just a Directory test but you know some people love to type Test, and that doesn't work. Thanks for the info. I'll scrounge around apache's site a little more.

The server would have to calculate every possible upper/lower case combination for each directory and file a user might request, and that would cause a (probably big) performance hit! Just for the sake of completeness: Or, it could do what Windows does, basically convert the entire name to lower (or upper) case, i.e., it makes no distinction between, for example, TeSt and test. I think there may be places where this is the appropriate user friendly behavior. And if there are two files with the same name (except for upper/lower case), then what would Apache do? If TeSt and test are indeed different files, Apache has a problem, if TeSt, test, TEST, etc. all refer to a file named test, Apache could handle it. Of course, we would have fewer file names available. Randy Kramer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

(3 disc set from cheapbytes). Then use Interactive Bastille to configure firewalling, internet masquerading and basic system security. The problem is that while i can connect to the machine locally (http://localhost) noone can connect to it over the lan with either telnet, ssh, ftp or http. These servers are running and I told Bastille to leave these ports open to the internal network. On the public network i left ssh and 80 open so i could connect in over the web from home and so we could host a small company web site. Still noone can connect to them from the internet BUT i went to www.grc.com and ran the port probe and it showed the ports as being open. This makes me wonder if it is a firewall rule that Bastille put in there or is there something else going on? Right now the only thing that is working over the lan is internet masquerading.

Re: [newbie] cat5 cable again
I don't know the wiring schematics or what might be wrong, but I know a mildly cheap way to fix it and give you expandibility in the future. 5 port 10/100 hubs are pretty cheap and two normal store bought cables would fix it. If it doesn't, then there is probably something wrong with the nic or the drivers. I've never made a 100BaseT crossover cable but I have made 10BaseT Crossover and they never failed me. when I make regular patch cables, 100BaseT works fine, but the hub/Switch does the corssover for me automatically. Hope this helps and gives you some more Ideas. Its also handy if you get a hub with an uplink port so if you ever get DSL/Cable modem going, both computers can access the modem if it only has 1 port.

If not ; do so as root :) Good luck. Well, sice I didn't get a reply and I had the time, I re-installed Mandrake from scratch with the sound in mind. I slected everything on the right, workstation, game station, multimedia station, everything. I booted with no sound, KDE still doens't have sound. The one I'm really trying to get to work is XMMS. Again, the beep works and XMMS plays the song, bars move up and the volume is 100% on XMMS and the speakers but nothing comes out. Any information pointing me in the right direction or helping would be apprciated.

Re: [newbie] ProFTPD
Beats me, I did something the otherday and it changed my mounting so the drive wouldn't mount. I finally got my users configured right and since I can load it manually, everything is hap-hazardly working...I'll have to do a better job, but for the time being, its working ok.

[newbie] Suggestions on FTP and Firewall software on LM81
I was wondering what would be the best freeware FTP and firewall setup. Would I need a program or any executable or would it be better to just modify things directly? I know FTP needs a daemon and the firewall could just use the IPTABLES. What is the best. _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
