36-711 Using Unix 36-711 Using Unix References: http://www.sun.rhbnc.ac.uk/unix/unix.html, http://www.ussg.iu.edu/usail/index/concepts.html, http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/unixhelp/ (Frankly, http://www.google.com is another good choice!) 8 major aspects of Unix 1. Input/Output. This is how UNIX goes about translating data between screens, keyboards, disks, tapes and so on. 2. The Command Interpreter is that part that of the operating system that inter- faces with the user. It deals with keyboard input and calling programs. In UNIX it is called the SHELL. 3. Data Management is that part of the operating system that allows you to use files and directories and the tools to manipulate them. 4. Program Development Tools in UNIX include compilers, debuggers and ed- itors and source code revision systems. There are also many non-essential tools that tend to get added over the years. 5. Time Sharing - UNIX is a time-sharing operating system - time is shared between the processes that can run at any one time. 6. Security - all multiple user operating systems and those that connect to other computers by modems or networks need to consider security. In UNIX this has been designed into the file system. Every user has a username and a group that (s)he belongs to and the users and groups can restrict access to others. 7. Communications - UNIX uses the TCP/Internet suite of protocols, for elec- tronic mail, file transfer, logging on to other machines, etc. 8. Accounting - UNIX provides accounting facilities that are required in a multi-user environment to control resource utilization like CPU time and use of file space. 1 Features of the Kernel Creation and management of processes A filesystem Communications A means to start the system Features of Shells (Command Interpreters) Program execution Variable and filename expansion I/O redirection Pipeline hookup Environment control Interpreted programming language (scripts) There are several common shells: sh, csh, tcsh, bash. You may be able to see which one you are using by typing echo $version. The csh Shell 1. Initialization: .cshrc (.login) 2. Entering commands (a) tab cause filename completion; ctrl-d shows completion list (b) semicolon separates multiple commands (c) arrows, backspace, ctrl-d, ctrl-k, etc. are active (d) end with enter 3. Command interpretation (a) line of command input is read and broken into words by looking for ¢ separating space or &, , ;, ¡ , , (, or ) (b) words are placed on the history list (c) words are parsed: i. history substitution: !!, !n, !str or !?str ii. command alias substitution (alias dir ’ls -al | less’) 2 iii. I/O redirection iv. variable substitution ($str), except inside single quotes v. command substitution (backquotes) ¡ ¢ ¢ vi. filename substitution (*, ?, [...], str,str,... , , user) (d) Find first word, find it in hash table based on $PATH and execute it; remaining words are the command/runstring arguments; terminating ampersand (&) causes program to run in the background (e) ctrl-c cancels a foreground job, ctrl-z suspends a foreground job (f) override special characters with backslash, e.g. \& 4. Built in-commands (not run in a new process) (a) echo, history, printenv (b) alias, unalias, set, unset, setenv, unsetenv (c) jobs, fg, bg, nice, kill (d) exit, popd, pushd, rehash, source (e) if, switch, foreach, while, shift 5. Utility programs (find program file and run in a new process) (a) whoami, apropos, man, whatis, where, which, ps, expr (b) pwd, cd, ls, file, cat, more, less, head, tail, wc (c) mkdir, cp, mv, rm, chmod, rmdir (d) emacs (or xemacs), clean i. Searching: ctrl-s, ctrl-r, alt-% (or esc, %) ii. Files: ctrl-x then ctrl-f, ctrl-r, ctrl-s iii. Splitting: ctrl-x then 2, 1, £ (e) find pathname -name filename [-type d] -print (f) grep [-n -v] what filename (g) sftp, mail, pine, exmh, ssh (h) sort, uniq, diff (i) gcc, f77 6. Redirection (a) stdin, stdout, stderr ¢ ¢ ¡ ¢ (b) ¢ , , , , with &, with grep 3 Shell Scripts (batch files, basic scripting tool) Create with emacs; line 1 is “#!/bin/csh”; do “chmod u+x myname”. # is the comment character To first line, add -n to check only, -v for verbose (before substitution), -x for ver- bose (after substitution). Use $1, $2, etc. for runstring parameters. Use $# for number of runstring parame- ters. ¡ Can use n for newline, t for tab, f for formfeed, for backslash if (myexpression) mycommand if (myexpression) then ... else if (myexpression2) then ... else ... endif In more complicated cases, use switch/endsw. Expressions can use ! for “not”, ==. !=, && for “and”, for “or”, +, -, *, /, and % for “remainder”. (Surround by spaces.) Expressions can include -e myfilename for “file exists”, -d myfilename for “file is a directory”, etc. ¡ The expression mycommand is true if the command executes successfully. Script files often use “set” to create variables. Be sure to precede the variable name with a dollar sign when using it after it is set. Variables can have multiple elements: set junk = (fee fi fo fum) echo $junk[2] set junk = ‘wc ˜/.login‘ echo $junk if ($junk[2] > 20) echo My .login has more than 20 words. shift [myvar] drops the first element from the runstring or myvar. 4 The at sign is used to replace the contents of an existing c-shell variable with the results of a calculation, e.g. set one = 1 set three = 1 @ three = $three + 2 set sum @ sum = $three + $one echo $sum unset one three Other control structures: foreach myvar (mylist) ... end while (myexpression) ... end 5.

  • Use Perl Regular Expressions in SAS® Shuguang Zhang, WRDS, Philadelphia, PA
    NESUG 2007 Programming Beyond the Basics Use Perl Regular Expressions in SAS® Shuguang Zhang, WRDS, Philadelphia, PA ABSTRACT Regular Expression (Regexp) enhance search and replace operations on text. In SAS®, the INDEX, SCAN and SUBSTR functions along with concatenation (||) can be used for simple search and replace operations on static text. These functions lack flexibility and make searching dynamic text difficult, and involve more function calls. Regexp combines most, if not all, of these steps into one expression. This makes code less error prone, easier to maintain, clearer, and can improve performance. This paper will discuss three ways to use Perl Regular Expression in SAS: 1. Use SAS PRX functions; 2. Use Perl Regular Expression with filename statement through a PIPE such as ‘Filename fileref PIPE 'Perl programm'; 3. Use an X command such as ‘X Perl_program’; Three typical uses of regular expressions will also be discussed and example(s) will be presented for each: 1. Test for a pattern of characters within a string; 2. Replace text; 3. Extract a substring. INTRODUCTION Perl is short for “Practical Extraction and Report Language". Larry Wall Created Perl in mid-1980s when he was trying to produce some reports from a Usenet-Nes-like hierarchy of files. Perl tries to fill the gap between low-level programming and high-level programming and it is easy, nearly unlimited, and fast. A regular expression, often called a pattern in Perl, is a template that either matches or does not match a given string. That is, there are an infinite number of possible text strings.

  • L3pdffield-Choice Module Commands to Create Choice Fields LATEX PDF Management Testphase Bundle
    The l3pdffield-choice module Commands to create choice fields LATEX PDF management testphase bundle The LATEX Project∗ Version 0.95i, released 2021-08-28 1 l3pdffield-choice Introduction This is the documentation for choice fields, for general information about form fields check the documentation l3pdffield. Please keep in mind • Not every PDF viewer supports choice field. • The handling can depend on settings in the PDF viewer. In adobe reader for example I had to disable an option to avoid that it tries to create an appearance itself • Standards like pdf/A disable features of form fields too (as you typically can’t change the PDF). 2 Choice fields Choice fields are drop down menus or scrollable lists where the user can selectoneor more entries. They can also contain a field where users can insert a free text. The export value and the displayed value can differ. Some values can be preselected. This means that various data will have to be set, and the sorting matters. The module here will assume that the various values are stored in sequences: checkifexportoraltname... Only the first sequence is required. Empty values in the display sequence are possible, then the normal value is used. 2.1 Types Choice fields can be a drop down menu (called Combo), which can contain an editable field. setfieldflags={Combo,Edit} or setfieldflags={Combo} If Edit is set, one can also set DoNotSpellCheck. Or they can be a list. ∗E-mail: [email protected] 1 unsetfieldflags={Combo,Edit,DoNotSpellCheck} For both types it is possible to set or unset MultiSelect and CommitOnSelChange.

  • Chapter 10 SHELL Substitution and I/O Operations
    Chapter 10 SHELL Substitution and I/O Operations 10.1 Command Substitution Command substitution is the mechanism by which the shell performs a given set of commands and then substitutes their output in the place of the commands. Syntax: The command substitution is performed when a command is given as: `command` When performing command substitution make sure that you are using the backquote, not the single quote character. Example: Command substitution is generally used to assign the output of a command to a variable. Each of the following examples demonstrate command substitution: #!/bin/bash DATE=`date` echo "Date is $DATE" USERS=`who | wc -l` echo "Logged in user are $USERS" UP=`date ; uptime` echo "Uptime is $UP" This will produce following result: Date is Thu Jul 2 03:59:57 MST 2009 Logged in user are 1 Uptime is Thu Jul 2 03:59:57 MST 2009 03:59:57 up 20 days, 14:03, 1 user, load avg: 0.13, 0.07, 0.15 10.2 Shell Input/Output Redirections Most Unix system commands take input from your terminal and send the resulting output back to your terminal. A command normally reads its input from a place called standard input, which happens to be your terminal by default. Similarly, a command normally writes its output to standard output, which is also your terminal by default. Output Redirection: The output from a command normally intended for standard output can be easily diverted to a file instead. This capability is known as output redirection: If the notation > file is appended to any command that normally writes its output to standard output, the output of that command will be written to file instead of your terminal: Check following who command which would redirect complete output of the command in users file.

  • Delimit — Change Delimiter
    Title stata.com #delimit — Change delimiter Description Syntax Remarks and examples Also see Description The #delimit command resets the character that marks the end of a command. It can be used only in do-files or ado-files. Syntax #delimit cr j ; Remarks and examples stata.com #delimit (pronounced pound-delimit) is a Stata preprocessor command. #commands do not generate a return code, nor do they generate ordinary Stata errors. The only error message associated with #commands is “unrecognized #command”. Commands given from the console are always executed when you press the Enter, or Return, key. #delimit cannot be used interactively, so you cannot change Stata’s interactive behavior. Commands in a do-file, however, may be delimited with a carriage return or a semicolon. When a do-file begins, the delimiter is a carriage return. The command ‘#delimit ;’ changes the delimiter to a semicolon. To restore the carriage return delimiter inside a file, use #delimit cr. When a do-file begins execution, the delimiter is automatically set to carriage return, even if it was called from another do-file that set the delimiter to semicolon. Also, the current do-file need not worry about restoring the delimiter to what it was because Stata will do that automatically. Example 1 /* When the do-file begins, the delimiter is carriage return: */ use basedata, clear /* The last command loaded our data. Let's now change the delimiter: */ #delimit ; summarize sex salary ; /* Because the delimiter is semicolon, it does not matter that our command took two lines. We can change the delimiter back: */ 1 2 #delimit — Change delimiter #delimit cr summarize sex salary /* Now our lines once again end on return.
