similar to: rsync files from Windows 2000 to Solaris 8

Colleagues, I am using R 2.4.0 on both a Mac (10.4.8) and Linux (RedHat 9). To read data from an Excel spreadsheet, I do "save as" in Excel, then select the "Text (tab-delimited)" format. The resulting file uses a tab separator and I can usually read the file using read.delim. Sometimes, the header row contains embedded carriage returns. When I view the file,

Hi, I have just set up samba v 2.0.0 on solaris, sharing to Win2k, win98 clients. All shares work fine, but users have come up with a problem. If a file (ASCII text) is created on the windows client on the share, when read on the solaris system, ctrlM (^M) characters appear in place of the carriage returns. How can I prevent carriage return from being replaced by ctrlM (^M). I reckon this is

--exclude-from and --cvs-exclude currently do not accept exclude files that use CR/LF (DOS-style) line breaks. It basically behaves as if the files are empty. This is rather annoying if the exclude files are generated by Windows systems (e.g. if you're using --cvs-exclude and rsync'ing the contents of a Samba share that includes .cvsignore files). Attached is a simple 1-line patch (for

Hi, I've checked all the docs I can find and this top icisn't mentioned, so I'm guessing there is no such thing, but I have users who swear that VisionFS used to automatically convert unix text files to windows text files (change the EOL to have both a carriage return and a newline, instead of just a newline). I think the user is mistaken, but just wanted to check. Is there a way

I have had some success (read no noticed problems), moving some text conf files from a Win <cr,lf> format to Linux and have them work. For example my zone files, moving them from my Win DNS server. But what about other files? I guess I want to know this more to prevent a mistake from crashing things, as I do have GEDIT. If I were to build an anaconda-ks.cfg in notepad, write it to a

With a has_one/belongs_to relationship, what''s the best way to guarantee that the belongs_to object gets created and is accessible alongside the has_one object? I *think* the after_create callback is a good choice, but I discovered an oddity while trying it. F''rinstance, if every horse has a carriage: ============ ActiveRecord::Schema.define do create_table(:horses) {|t|

I have a number of perl CGI scripts which I wrote some time ago (and which are working successfully on my website). I've set up a local server on which to do some development work on the scripts but I can't get them to work - the error log says: No such file or directory: exec of '/var/www/cgi-bin/script.cgi' failed Premature end of script headers: script.cgi etc By comparing

Hi, I'm hoping someone has a suggestion for handling a simple problem. A client gave me a comma separated value file (call it x.csv) that has an id and name and address for about 25,000 people (25,000 records). I used read.table to read it, but then discovered that there are stray carriage returns on several records. This plays havoc with read.table since it starts a

We have an interesting quandry here. When I'm rsync'ing my directory tree (100 directories each containing 1000 files) I see some strange results: All of these machines are on their own network segment (100t) in our QA lab Solaris->Solaris - time taken: 11m32s Solaris->RH Linux 7.2 - time taken: 206s RH Linux->Rn Linux - time taken 1m59s In each instance I have rsync running

I'm rsync'ing an rdiff-backup repository to a different machine and I have a few questions I'm hoping you guys can help me out with. Should I use --archive? Or maybe -rlD instead? Can I restrict an SSH key to rsync? I can do it with rdiff-backup with command="rdiff-backup --server" but I can't figure out how to do it with rsync. The rdiff-backup repository I'm

I apologize in advance if I'm wasting bandwidth with a simple question, but I was unable to find a solution for this problem in the documentation... I've got a set of shares set up on a SUN Enterprise 5500 using Samba 2.0.4. In Windows NT, I map a drive to the share. When I copy a text file from Windows NT to the SUN, editing the file in UNIX shows that ^M has been added to the end of

Hope this is not too trivial I am reading a large file using scan. In one part of this file there is a chunk of text within which i need to know the positions of line breaks. But scan seems only An example of the file is: " a 0 1 0 bftt 020 cftt T 1 R a 0 1 2 1 2 b 0 1 2 2 2 c 0 10 00 " so precisely i need in the scanned file in R to know where each carriage return is in the file

Quick question - if i want to separate a long string of text, separated by single carriage returns, into an array of paragraphs, I can use the following code: paragraphs = article.content.split("\n") The "\n" means a carriage return, as far as I can tell. If I wanted to take text, that had been written using the more common double carriage returns, into an array of

From: Christian Hesse <mail at eworm.de> Logging to stderr results in line endings being terminated with carriage return (\r) and new line (\n). While this is fine for terminals it may have undesired effects when running from crond and logging to syslog or similar. I run ssh from cron on an recent linux host. Viewing logs with journalctl I see: Sep 06 16:50:01 linux CROND[152575]: [96B

Having problems with the write.table function. I can write a tab delimited file just fine, but for each line in my matrix its inputs a carriage return when i dont want it to. For example my matrix might be: ID V1 V2 V3 FARY1004 1 2 3 FARY2067 2 3 1 FARY4587 2 2 2 And I want the written File to be: FARY1004 1 2 3FARY2067 2 3 1FARY4587 2 2 2 TIA -- View this

Perhaps someone can help me understand why this is happening. I''m trying to write a script using ''shorewall iprange'' to parse some ip ranges into subnets so that i can place them into the blocklist. I keep getting an error when i run the script though. Here is the script: #!/bin/csh foreach i (`cat ipranges`) shorewall iprange $i >>

Hi, I am having a problem with the issue of changing the password for an expired user (passed -f <user>). The version of Openssh is 2.9.9p3 compiled with gcc 2.95.3, configured --with-pam. The user can login fine when the password is not expired. Once the password is expired the user is connected and told the password has expired and is asked to change it. The user is prompted for the old

I have a comma separated data file with no carriage returns and what I'd like to do is 1. read the data as a block text 2. search for the string that starts each record "record_start", and replace this with a carriage return. Replace will do, or just add a carriage return before it. The string is the same for each record, but it is enclosed in double quote marks in the file.

I was rsync'ing data from one system to another, and the recipient suddenly started throwing DRDY errors. Now, it's a fairly new WD Red 3TB, and I'd think it was just a bad drive... but I'm really confused by this, from the logs: Jun 15 15:34:43 <servername> kernel: ata3: SError: { Dispar } Dispar? And googling, every reference I find to that word always has something else

Dear all: I am developing a package in R. While I am running R CMD check, I found the following warning message: Found the following C sources/headers with CRLF line endings: src/hem.c src/random4f.h ISO C requires LF line endings. It seems that it comes from a line ending problem in C. What are CRLF/LF line endings? How can I fix it? Thank you for your help in advance. Best, HJ
