Using the find command 1 year 1 week ago

Hi all,

1). Is is possible to use the date builtin and subtract a literal e.g 1 day in bash alongwith the find command from the command line:

e.g

Code: find . -name --date %Y-%m-%d - 1 2).

Gurus,

Thanks so much for your help, in advance.

I'm using ksh and outputting a literal string value to an output file, however, Unix isn't playing by SQL's rules. The ampersand character which I'm trying to disply as a knowledge base link is screwing up the output.

I have this bash script which is trying to find a directory that partially changes on peoples systems.

cd "$HOMEDIR/AppData/Local/GitHub/PortableGit"*"/bin"

Yet this does not seem to work - it just take the string literal.

Is there an easy to make it expand correctly?

I'm trying to connect to Windows 2003 server's share using ipv6 address from Windows Server 2008.

I use ipv6-literal.net conversion as described on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa385353.aspx (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2010/09/15/10061950.aspx)

I see the error "A duplicate name exists on the network".

Why does it occur?

Trying to understand what's happening here, but I cannot figure it out. I'm reading Mastering Regular Expressions, by Friedl, and he uses this as an example of how to grab quoted text:

Code: egrep -o '"[^"]*"' ~/File.txt ...should pull in any quoted phrases. Match a literal double-quote, match anything not a double-quote until you hit the next literal double-quote.

In the Linux kernel, I can send a file to the printer using the following command

cat file.txt > /dev/usb/lp0

From what I understand, this redirects the contents in file.txt into the printing location. I tried using the following command

>>os.system('cat file.txt > /dev/usb/lp0')

I thought this command would achieve the same thing, but it gave me a "Permission Denied" error.

I have a "command" text file that issues a data file download command on each line. I send the command file to bash. However, a small percentage of the downloads fail.
