Bash weird variable whitespace missing when echoing printing
Bash weird variable whitespace missing
var=`cat tlds.csv|grep .ca,`
# echo "var=:$var:"
:ar=:.ca,Canada
Why is the v missing in the last line?
It should be
:var=:.ca,Canada
instead of
:ar=:.ca,Canada
I noticed a problem with the file with doing a "cat -v" on it.
Here's the issue, the file contains carat M ^M:
.vg,British Virgin Island........
convert carat ^M/M Windows based text files to Linux
carat M isn't this symbol ^ that you think, it can only be produced by typing "Ctrl-v, Ctrl-m". That you might see in text files saved from Windows.
tofrodos is the package that has dos2unix which is basically the same scripts that replace ^M with /n
tofrodos is the Debian/Buntu package name which has the dos2unix and unix2dos binaries........
Using a Mac OSX DMG Image in Windows and Converting to Standard ISO Format use dmg2iso
The dmg format is silly and annoying to work with, why couldn't Apple stick with the .iso standard? Anyway, there's an excellent Linux and Windows based tool to convert it back to a normal .iso Image called dmg2iso
I'll only cover theLinux version although the Windows pre-built binary works the same way.
Download dmg2iso here for free (from the author's website)
It's just silly and doesn't make sense that Ubuntu doe........
