Share a Ride from Leominster?

by Frank Moody

Anybody mind lending me a lift to the WLUG meeting Thursday from Leominster? Frank (Who is loving the situation of sorting out a registration paperwork error in California from the other side of the country...)

Sure, I'll take the docking station, just let me know what the part number is so I can confirm it is the right one. I'd also like a few of the 21"s, preferrably the G810s and matched sets of two. I'd be interested in anywhere from one up to a half dozen of them... Dual monitor setups are usually hard to upgrade on a limited budget. *chuckle* Double luck since it looks like the Worcester Co-op will take donations of whatever monitors get replaced... Now I just need to double check that the desk will take the new weight... Frank Moody

Find command -name

by Karl Hiramoto

Hi all I'm trying to use a command (anything but my best guess now is 'find'). I want to list files that end in the number 8-16 if they exist for example finding names 5-9 is easy: $ find /dev/vc -name [5-9] /dev/vc/9 /dev/vc/8 /dev/vc/7 /dev/vc/6 /dev/vc/5 I'm having problems though with numbers higher than 10. $ find /dev/vc -name [5-16] /dev/vc/6 I only get 6 back.. Any ideas? -thanks

Re: [Wlug] glut of 21" monitors

The Worcester computer Co-Op could use a few. We are running out of decent monitors. We will also give you a tax deduction for the amount they are worth.

There are about a billion different ways to do this, and everyone you talk to will do it differently, I'd bet. For starters, this should work: find /dev/vc | grep -E "*([5-9]|1[0-6])" You should take a look at the regex(7) man page. -Jeff

Yeah. [...] indicates a character list, not numbers. So [5-16] means "all characters between ASCII value of '5' and ASCII value of '1' (none, you'd want 1-5, it doesn't work in reverse), and ASCII value of '6'. There's no logic about numbers in globs that I know of, so you have to work this as 5-9 and 10-16. Something like this ought to work: find /dev/vc -name "*[^0-9][5-9]" -o -name "*[^0-9]1[0-6]" -- Randomly Generated Tagline: Look both ways before you cross the network.
