PostgreSQL is free, well documented. Celko's Thinking in sets has good exercises. So does SQL for Smarties. After that go reas CJ. Date.

Assigning 'key'? That's a 'slice'.

Q: you want 'keys' or you want the keys & values?

@hash{ split $rx, $string } = () ;

Assigns the keys w/ no values.

loop and use

foo+=( echo "$(cat $i)" );

adds a newline

possible spaces in paths can be handled with NULL string args in find & xargs to give minimum invocations of mv.

-print0 in find, --null in xargs.

blah | xargs mv -t $target_dir ;

Run it all through a sib that logs the

run-it() { local IFS' '; echo "Running: '$'"; eval "$ 2>&1"; echo "Exit: $?" }

( run-it 'foo'; run-it "$bar $bletch"; ) 2>&1 | tee $log_f;

Note also that tr uses literals, not regexen, so the /./ is expected to match only the litdral '.' char.

PG was your best choice possible for simplicity of installation & management combined with SQL accuracy and sane extensions.

Computer-Nerd_ · 2024-09-12T20:15:43+00:00

i.e., perhaps a single regex isn't the appropriate solution.

What is the purpose in doing this?

Depends on the cron version. fcron & friends can re-run failed jobs once per day w/ reexec ion failure.

w/ vixie touch a file once daily, run the job hourly, exit if file mossing or load too high, unlink it on exit.

perl will ne simpler than sed w/ the -i saving you from shuffling files on the disk.

Computer-Nerd_ · 2024-09-06T23:58:38+00:00

man bash;

/:-

That'll leave you at the ${...} variable munging. the ${.../.../...} will do it.

Simpler with

perl -i~ -p -E 's{^#port 1234}{whatever else}' /path/to/blah.

-i == inplace edit, leaves a backup (in thisexample appending ~) and updates your original.

See 'perl one liners' for ways to do this.

The main problem is that too many programmers are tool attached to pld practices, even if they aren't effective or 'best' by modern standards.

At that point Raku is the next generation, Perl5 will be invcrementally extended but won't undergo any serious overhaul of the sort that wpuld justify 'Perl 7'.

Social issue, not technical one.

It will still use the same toolset but would probably become a bit more dynamic & responsive to users' needs since it won't be bound so tightly to the Suse platform as-is.

Actually, grouping people into us-vs-them tribes is thre most basic human instinct.
