obtaining a process ID.

2002-12-11 Thread B-E-G Gomes

Looking for a simple method of getting a single process ID (for a 
process such as syslogd) and store it in a scalar.

I've found a few methods of doing so but they haven't been pretty.

I'm taking suggestions :)

Need help!

2002-09-22 Thread B-E-G Gomes

I need help with the following assignment.

I've got the three words in the first line listed in an array.  But I'm 
stuck here.  All I have to do is read the file and print the amount of 
times each word in the array occurs:

this is what I have so far

!/usr/bin/perl -w
open (INPUTFILE, "inputfile") or die "No input file, I'm going to die 
now $!\n";
$Line_number = 1;
$. = 0;
do { $LINE =  } until $.  eq $Line_number || eof;
for ( $LINE )  {
($word1, $word2, $word3) = split ( " ", $LINE);
@words = ($word1, $word2, $word3);
print "@words\n";
}


This should be easy... but I'm stuck

Here is the assignment:




2.  Write a program that counts all occurrences of 3 words the user 
wants counted in an input file. The input file consists of line 1 with 
the 3 words the user wants to be counted separated by a space. The 
actual input text starts with line 2 of the input file and will contain 
0 or more occurrences of the words in line 1. Your program should read 
the first line and store the 3 words the user input. It should then 
read each word starting with line 2 and maintain a running count for 
the 3 words identified in line 1. When your program reaches end of 
file, it should output the counts for the 3 words. For example, the 
input file may look like the following:

rain water cloudy
It was a cloudy day and the sky was overcast with dark ominous clouds. 
It presently started to rain and the rain water started flowing along 
the streets. The water from the rains started with a trickle, but 
quickly developed into a massive torrent flooding all the low level 
areas of the streets.

Your program should output the counts of 2 for rain, 2 for water, and 1 
for cloudy.




Re: Sun Sparcstation 20 and Perl?

2002-09-24 Thread B-E-G Gomes

It definitely depends on price.

A sparc 20 isn't even a match for most Pentium IIIs running just about 
any flavor of UNIX or LINUX.

Not to mention, hardware is proprietary (uses S-bus not PCI bus), a 
special keyboard is needed, and monitor, unless you get a converter.

If your not going to use Solaris, I don't see much a point in spending 
the cash on a Sparc when a PC running LINUX is cheaper and easier to 
deal with.
