RE: [U2] grep for @VM
Do you know what file it is in ? - Have you a dictionary item set up for the field as multi value ? You could then use a standard select statement on the file and field etc If you dont know what file - well I presume you know what unidata account it is in - you could write a program to loop through each file in the account. Or is this a non database table and just a plain unix file - again you need to know where to look really - it may take some time to grep from / all files on the disk As far as using a unix grep command for @vm it is character 0xFD - you can just put the character in the grep string if your shells LANG environment variable is set to iso-8859-1 if it is straight ascii or utf-8 etc it would not work. Character 0xFD in iso-8859-1 is a lowercase y with an acute - } (this may not display correctly in email) Rgds Symeon. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Beahm Sent: 14 July 2008 20:07 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] grep for @VM I am trying to find an obscure setting somewhere in a UD database on HP-UX; I know that the character string is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can anyone tell me how to grep for this combination of alpha and high-ASCII characters so I can resolve a recurring accounting issue?

Re: [U2] grep for @VM
That first '*' is a 'Z' ooo sorry. I changed my tac about half-way
through and didn't re-read very well.
The line could be:
VAR=`cat ITEMNAME|grep $VAR|cut -f4 -d'Z'`

HP-UX; I know that the character string is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Can anyone tell me how to grep for this combination of alpha and

I'm on AIX with uniVerse, but have an idea.
Create a simple type 1 or 19 (equivalent on UD) file (Unix Directory) and
then at TCL, edit the item and put something like:
0001: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
then you can exit to Unix and cat the file and see what comes up. Then put
that in single quotes in your grep statement. If you are running
X-Windows, it will make the task much easier, but it can be done with a
command-line, too by assign the whole thing to a variable, ie:
VAR=`cat ITEM`
VAR=`echo $VAR|cut -f4 -d'*'`
That's assuming you used 4 'Z's before @VM. Then you could do:
grep $VAR *
or
find . -exec grep $VAR {} \; -print
if you need to search through many files and subdirectories.
You should get your results.
I think that would work for you.
Thanks in advance,
David Beahm

RE: [U2] grep for @VM
If you're only looking through a few files, wouldn't it be easier to write a short basic program to read every record use INDEX() on each looking for the string? eg. STRING = 12:@VM:26 SELECT filevar LOOP WHILE READNEXT ID READ REC FROM filevar,ID THEN IF INDEX(REC,STRING,1) THEN CRT Found in :ID END REPEAT -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Beahm Sent: Tuesday, 15 July 2008 3:07 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] grep for @VM I am trying to find an obscure setting somewhere in a UD database on HP-UX; I know that the character string is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can anyone tell me how to grep for this combination of alpha and high-ASCII characters so I can resolve a recurring accounting issue?
