Erase — Erase a Disk file Title stata.com erase — Erase a disk file Syntax Description Remarks and examples Also see Syntax erase j rm " filename" Note: Double quotes must be used to enclose filename if the name contains spaces. Description The erase command erases files stored on disk. rm is a synonym for erase for the convenience of Mac and Unix users. Stata for Mac users: erase is permanent; the file is not moved to the Trash but is immediately removed from the disk. Stata for Windows users: erase is permanent; the file is not moved to the Recycle Bin but is immediately removed from the disk. Remarks and examples stata.com The only difference between Stata’s erase (rm) command and the DOS DEL or Unix rm(1) command is that we may not specify groups of files. Stata requires that we erase files one at a time. Mac users may prefer to discard files by dragging them to the Trash. Windows users may prefer to discard files by dragging them to the Recycle Bin. Example 1 Stata provides seven operating system equivalent commands: cd, copy, dir, erase, mkdir, rmdir, and type, or, from the Unix perspective, cd, copy, ls, rm, mkdir, rmdir, and cat. These commands are provided for Mac users, too. Stata users can also issue any operating system command by using Stata’s shell command, so you should never have to exit Stata to perform some housekeeping detail. Suppose that we have the file mydata.dta stored on disk and we wish to permanently eliminate it: . erase mydata file mydata not found r(601); . erase mydata.dta . Our first attempt, erase mydata, was unsuccessful. Although Stata ordinarily supplies the file extension for you, it does not do so when you type erase. You must be explicit. Our second attempt eliminated the file. Unix users could have typed rm mydata.dta if they preferred. 1 2 erase — Erase a disk file Also see [D] cd — Change directory [D] copy — Copy file from disk or URL [D] dir — Display filenames [D] mkdir — Create directory [D] rmdir — Remove directory [D] shell — Temporarily invoke operating system [D] type — Display contents of a file [U] 11.6 Filenaming conventions.

  • Expression Definition FS.COMMAND Qualifier. Operates on a File System Command
    Expression Definition FS.COMMAND Qualifier. Operates on a file system command. The user can issue multiple commands on a file transfer portal. (For example, ls to list files or mkdir to create a directory). This expression returns the current action that the user is taking. Possible values: Neighbor, login, ls, get, put, rename, mkdir, rmdir, del, logout, any. Following is an example: Add authorization policy pol1 “fs.command eq login && (fs.user eq administrator || fs.serverip eq 10.102.88.221 –netmask 255.255.255.252)” allow FS.USER Returns the user who is logged on to the file system. FS.SERVER Returns the host name of the target server. In the following example, the string win2k3-88-22 is the server name: fs.server eq win2k3-88-221 FS.SERVERIP Returns the IP address of the target server. FS.SERVICE Returns a shared root directory on the file server. If a particular folder is exposed as shared, a user can directly log on to the specified first level folder. This first level folder is called a service. For example, in the path \\hostname\SERVICEX\ETC, SERVICEX is the service. As another example, if a user accesses the file \\hostname\service1\dir1\file1.doc, FS.SERVICE will return service1. Following is an example: fs.service notcontains New FS.DOMAIN Returns the domain name of the target server. FS.PATH Returns the complete path of the file being accessed. For example, if a user accesses the file \\hostname\service1\dir1\file1.doc, FS.PATHwill return \service\dir1\file1.doc. Following is an example: fs.path notcontains SSL Expression Definition FS.FILE Returns the name of the file being accessed.

  • TRSDOS 6.2 to LS-DOS 6.3.0 Manual Update
    LS-DOSÔ 6.3 UPDATE FOR TRSDOSâ 6.2.X The LS-DOS 6.3 release is an upgrade for the TRSDOS 6.2 operating system. Several important changes have been made to extend and enhance the operating system and its utilities. The date ranging has been expanded to accept dates through the year 1999. Files will now carry a modification time as well as a date. The DATECONV/CMD program is provided to translate version 6.2 or earlier disks to the 6.3 style dating. The user password has been eliminated from the system. The owner password still remains. The library command ID was added to display a customer service number. Several enhancements have been made to BASIC. The new DISKCOPY/CMD program will duplicate 5" double density floppy disks. Because the LS-DOS 6.3 update is a series of enhancements to TRSDOS 6.2, the primary documentation remains the 6.2 manual and Technical Reference manual. If you have a version of TRSDOS earlier than 6.2, you can obtain the manuals from Radio Shack under the catalog numbers 26-0316 (TRSDOS Version 6 [6.2 DOS manual and disk]), 26-2110 (Model 4/4D [6.2] Technical Reference Manual), or 26-1117 (6.2 DOS manual only). This documentation should be treated as an addendum to the TRSDOS 6.2 information. LS-DOS 6.3 installation instructions Before performing the upgrade, it is recommended that you make several backup copies of the 6.3 master disk. The simplest way to do this is to boot your system using the 6.3 diskette, insert a blank diskette to receive the copy in drive 1, and type the command: DISKCOPY :0 :1 When the copy finishes, you can insert another destination diskette and make another copy.

  • Lab - Observing DNS Resolution (Instructor Version) Instructor Note: Red Font Color Or Gray Highlights Indicate Text That Appears in the Instructor Copy Only
    Lab - Observing DNS Resolution (Instructor Version) Instructor Note: Red font color or Gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only. Objectives Part 1: Observe the DNS Conversion of a URL to an IP Address Part 2: Observe DNS Lookup Using the Nslookup Command on a Web Site Part 3: Observe DNS Lookup Using the Nslookup Command on Mail Servers Background / Scenario The Domain Name System (DNS) is invoked when you type a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), such as http://www.cisco.com, into a web browser. The first part of the URL describes which protocol is used. Common protocols are Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS), and File Transfer Protocol (FTP). DNS uses the second part of the URL, which in this example is www.cisco.com. DNS translates the domain name (www.cisco.com) to an IP address to allow the source host to reach the destination host. In this lab, you will observe DNS in action and use the nslookup (name server lookup) command to obtain additional DNS information. Work with a partner to complete this lab. Required Resources 1 PC (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with Internet and command prompt access) Part 1: Observe the DNS Conversion of a URL to an IP Address a. Click the Windows Start button, type cmd into the search field, and press Enter. The command prompt window appears. b. At the command prompt, ping the URL for the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) at www.icann.org. ICANN coordinates the DNS, IP addresses, top-level domain name system management, and root server system management functions.

  • Shells and Shell Scripting
    Shells and Shell scripting What is a Shell? • A shell is a command line interpreter that is the interface between the user and the OS. • A “program launcher” of sorts. • The shell: o analyzes each command o determines what actions are to be performed o performs the actions • Example: wc –l file1 > file2 Which shell? • sh – Bourne shell o Most common, other shells are a superset o Good for programming • csh or tcsh – default for command line on CDF o C-like syntax o Best for interactive use. Not good for programming. • bash – default on Linux (Bourne again shell) o Based on sh, with some csh features. • korn – written by David Korn o Based on sh – Some claim best for programming. o Commercial product. Common shell facilities Shell startup When a shell is invoked, it does the following: 1. Read a special startup file (usually in home directory) 2. display prompt and wait for command 3. Ctrl-D on its own line terminates shell, otherwise, goto step 2. Shell startup files used to set shell options, set up environment variables, alias sh – executes .profile if it’s there. ksh – executes .profile if in interactive mode. Executes $ENV (usually $HOME/.kshrc) csh – executes .cshrc if it exists. If a login shell, executes .login bash – executes .bashrc, if a login shell, executes .bash_profile instead Executables vs. built-in commands Most commands you run are other compiled programs. Found in /bin Example: ls – shell locates ls binary in /bin directory and launches it Some are not compiled programs, but built into the shell: cd, echo Input-output redirection prog < infile > outfile ls > outfile 2>&1 # sh stdout and stderr Pipelining commands send the output from one command to the input of the next: ls -l | wc ps –aux | grep reid | sort Before a program is executed, the shell recognizes the special characters such as <, >, |, and rewires the standard input, output, or error file descriptors of the program about to be executed to point to the right files (or the standard input of another program).
