To all the people who are wondering why do the OP need acroread: Of course I would like to use some free alternatives to acroread, but CURRENTLY IT IS NOT POSSIBLE if you want to view pdf animations, or embedded 3D objects, or most of the interactive pdfs with form fields. Can you propose an appropr...

Hi, I have a data file (data-a.dat) with 6 columns and thousands of rows. I would like to write a bash script in which I print the data file, from the 18th line, until the line in which the 3rd column equals the 5th column and the foruth column equals the 6th column. In addition, I want to print to ...

If I understand you correctly, then I think you need to pipe cnee's output into a loop, where you process it line by line. Do you mean something like this? cnee -rec --mouse --keyboard -t 1 -etr -1 --stop-key q | grep 'Virtual core pointer' | while read line do XPOS=$(echo $line | cut -d ',' -f 3) ...

Or it is try use ping's option "-i". Well, I put the ping in this thread just to put an example, but I am not using ping. I will explain my problem in detail: I want to make a bash script that, when the cursor moves, for example by moving the mouse, a red cross is drawn at every point in ...

thanks Peter, but this code that you gave me doesn't work for me: what I think this code does, is to assign to the variable VAR, the result of the command `ping localhost | awk ...`, but this assignment occurs when the command has finished, so when the ping command has finished (for example by press...

Hi, First of all I want to apologize for my zero knowledge in bash programming. I am writing a script that calls a program which writes a lot of lines to stdout continuosly. If the last line in stdout has some regex, THEN, certain variables are updated. My problem is that I don't know how to do that...

Okay, sounds good. Do you know aosd_cat ? echo '+' | aosd_cat -p 0 -R red -x 200 -y 100 -u 10000 This will draw a red "+" at screen location 200, 100 from the top left, which will disappear after 10 seconds. It's a little imprecise (it isn't the center of the "+" which is at 200...

Thanks dsc, Yes I agree that this may be the proper way. However, if there is an application-independent way to do it (I mean, not writing an image viewer, but some kind of X-event making use of Xlib), then much better, so no need of GUI and I could draw wherever. I have solved the problem to record...

No, in fact is for my work: I have to measure distances (and areas) from hundreds of images extracted from a high-speed movie, and this script would be great to write the pixel coordinates in a file so I can operate with them later. The problem is that the image processing is quite complex and is mu...

Hi, I would like to write a script that, when executing, makes the following: every time that I click on the mouse, a red pixel (or point, or circle) is drawn (and stays in there until the script stops executing) at the mouse current position in the screen. In addition it would be ideal to have the ...

Thank you very much kiyop!
I still haven't tried your script, but it has been very useful to me.
Thanks!!

Hi, This is the situation: I have 100 data files in a folder, each one with 5 columns (the values of x, y, vx, vy, rsb) and 16129 rows. First of all, I need to compute the average of each position in all files. To clarify, let's say that I take the value of the 3rd column and the 4th row of the firs...

It works for me.

ok, I got it,

Code: Select all

$ sed -i 1i"`head -1 file.vep | cut -b 9-`" file.vep && sed -i '2d' file.vep

did the trick. I am sure that there is a more elegant way to do it, but at least it does what I need..
Thank you!

Finally solved!! The drivers were installed correctly, the xorg.conf was also valid, the problem is that my laptop was supposed to use the Nvidia Optimus technology, which I didn't hear about it before... I followed the steps of this link: http://suwako.nomanga.net/ and everything is working perfect...

Hi, I have a data file (.vep extension) with some strange characters in the first line: <81>^@^@^@<<^@^@^@ They appear in blue (similar to ^M next line character from dos files) I don't know the encoding of the file, but $ file -i file.vep returns file.vep: application/octet-stream; charset=binary S...

Thank you!!

Code: Select all

$ sort -n -k 1 -k 2 input.dat | awk 'x != $1 { if(NR > 1) print ""; x = $1 } {print}' > output.dat

Does exactly what I need!
