Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel Sept. 29, 2018

Sept. 29, 2018

Hi, Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky all the time, esp when it rains. So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter. I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet another set top box to have to deal with... So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service? Thanks, John

Sorry, I keep forgetting which email address I signed up with... I would add quotes and use while, just in case the directory names have spaces and such.

Adding to that: for FILE in $( grep -lRF moe somedirectory/* ) ; \ do echo mv -v $(dirname "$FILE") destination_path ; done Remove the "echo" and repeat if it looks Ok. Uses dirname to move the containing directory. -Jamie On Thu, 29 Oct 2009, James Gray wrote: > On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 11:41 AM, Maurice <mauricep(a)cds-cumberland.org> wrote: > > Looking for some guidance; > > > > I have several files within several folders (5 files per folder, and > > thousands of folders) that I need to search a text file within each > > folder for a word match (like three_little_pigs.txt, and I need to find > > "moe", if he's listed) and then when a match is found I need to move > > (not copy) that entire folder (and it's 3~5 files contained within) to > > another location... > > > > I'm thinking grep, but don't know the correct syntax to make all this > > happen. > > I can easily find all the folders (1949 of them) and the word match 3923 > > times within the text file(s)... > > I think this should do the trick.

grep, maybe
by Maurice Oct. 29, 2009

Oct. 29, 2009

Looking for some guidance; I have several files within several folders (5 files per folder, and thousands of folders) that I need to search a text file within each folder for a word match (like three_little_pigs.txt, and I need to find "moe", if he's listed) and then when a match is found I need to move (not copy) that entire folder (and it's 3~5 files contained within) to another location... I'm thinking grep, but don't know the correct syntax to make all this happen. I can easily find all the folders (1949 of them) and the word match 3923 times within the text file(s)... Any ideas??? -- -Maurice Pelletier Child Development Services - Cumberland County 50 Depot Road Falmouth, ME 04105 207-781-8881 (voice) 207-781-8855 (fax) www.cds-cumberland.org "Linux -- it's not just for breakfast anymore..." -Moe

Hi All, I wanted to follow up on a few threads from last night's meeting... - I learned from Tim's presentation that Pygame wraps SDL, as well as providing other useful classes and code. I happened to be poking around the Spore installation on my Macbook, and I found that it uses SDL, and even includes source! guinan@macbook:~ $ find /Applications/SPORE/SPORE.app/ ... /Applications/SPORE/SPORE.app//Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework /Applications/SPORE/SPORE.app//Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Headers /Applications/SPORE/SPORE.app//Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Headers/begin_code.h /Applications/SPORE/SPORE.app//Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Headers/close_code.h /Applications/SPORE/SPORE.app//Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Headers/SDL.h ... /Applications/SPORE/SPORE.app//Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework/SDL-source-with-transgaming-updates.tar.gz ...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everybody, My apologies for the late notice. We do indeed have a WLUG meeting on Wednesday evening, October 21, 2009 at 7:00 PM on the WPI campus. Our speaker will be WLUG member Tim Keller, and the topic will be Pygame. The meeting room is near the former Access Grid room. If you walk into the main entrance to Morgan Hall, and turn right toward the dining hall, you will see a door on your right just before the dining hall. Enter that door and there will be a short hallway. We will be in the room on the right. This is the same place where we met last month. I'll try to remember to put up a penguin poster to guide you. Afterwards, we'll go out for pizza and more great conversation, as is our tradition. Any and all are welcome to attend.
