It’s like those bees with dogs in their lap, and when they stand up they shoot dogs at you?
From my camera phone.
sed
Sometimes I look at a long Unix pipeline and think, “I should do this in perl.” Other times, it is, “I bet I can do this all in sed.” So, here’s how to print just the lines of a file following a successful match in sed:
sed -n ':s; /^regexp$/{b l}; n; b s; :l; p; n; b l' file.txt
Lazyweb, is there a shorter way?
July
I suppose I must make a blog entry this month so that I do not get logged out for inactivity. Like the blog, I have let the projects slide lately. I have a half-drawn schematic sitting in Eagle and a new kite in the design phase, but I haven’t hit these particular projects too hard. How have I been spending the last month, then? Here’s how:
- Working. Yay for compulsory overtime.
- Teaching myself Spanish. I don’t know why.
- Various wedding things. Invites are in the mail.
- Going to a baseball game.
- Guessing the plots of Sherlock Holmes stories after reading the first two pages.
- Being unmotivated to do other stuff.
Angeline and I had engagement photos taken and we got a couple of proofs back. Check out the one I put one on the website.
