Problem with reading file and executing other stuffs?

I've been struggling with the following code of reading a text file (test.txt) and counting the number of lines. Well, I know there're simpler method to count the number of lines of a text file, but that's not the point of this post. __ n=0 cat test.txt | while read line do n=$(

truncating the path in the bash prompt?

In tcsh %c can be used to only show the last few directory names in a path (also see the ellipsis variable). For example for this directory: /lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3194.fc7/kernel/drivers/char/hw_random/ the prompt can look like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:...drivers/char/hw_random> when using

builtin printf behaves incorrectly with "c and 'c character-value arguments

$ printf %d\\n \'À -61 (expected 192) This should be 192 regardless of locale on any system where wchar_t values are ISO-10646/Unicode. Bash is incorrectly reading the first byte of the UTF-8 which happens to be -61 when interpreted as signed char; on a Latin-1 based locale it will probably give -
