NSIS - Variable is not resolving properly - variables

I'm trying to check the version of folder with !define variable from compiler.nsh. On mismatch of version, I'm trying to update compiler.nsh with ReplaceInFile macro. But the Filepath I have provided on the ReplaceInFile macro is not resolving variable ${CURRENT_KIT}. Am I missing something? Please help
;***************************************************************************************
; Version Check
;***************************************************************************************
Var /GLOBAL CURRENT_KIT
Var /GLOBAL CURRENT_VER
;Function CompilerFile
Section
System::Call "kernel32::GetCurrentDirectory(i ${NSIS_MAX_STRLEN}, t .r0)"
${WordFind} "$0" "\" "-1" "$CURRENT_KIT"
${CharStrip} "${APP_CLASSKIT}" "$CURRENT_KIT" "$CURRENT_VER"
Push "$CURRENT_VER"
Push "${CHK_VERSION}"
Call VersionCheck
Pop $0
${If} $0 == 0
MessageBox MB_OK "Kit Version matches compiler.nsh"
!define APP_VERSION "${CHK_VERSION}"
${ElseIf} $0 == 1
!insertmacro _ReplaceInFile **"${NETWORK_PATH}\${CURRENT_KIT}\compiler.nsh"** '!define CHK_VERSION "${CHK_VERSION}"' '!define APP_VERSION "$CURRENT_VER"'
${EndIf}

I don't really know what you are trying to do but if I am guessing the variable can not be resolved this way.
Rather try this syntax for resolving the variables in a string:
!insertmacro _ReplaceInFile **"${NETWORK_PATH}\$CURRENT_KIT\compiler.nsh"** '!define CHK_VERSION "${CHK_VERSION}"' '!define APP_VERSION "$CURRENT_VER"'
You don't need the extra curly brackets for these kind of variables.
Let me know if I helped you with your issue.

How to write a text prompt in Nim that has readline-style line editing?

readLine() doesn't support line editing and recalling previous commands, eg:
while true:
var name: string = readLine(stdin)
echo "Hi, ", name, "!"
Has no editing. But if I compile that and wrap it in rlwrap:
$ rlwrap read_test
It works as I hope. with editable and recallable lines, provided by the readline library.
readLineFromStdin() almost works, but doesn't support ctrl+d, it returns an empty string on ctrl+d, which is indistinguishable from a newline.
How can I do this in pure Nim? Thanks!
Ctrl+D is an EOF "signal", and thus you can catch the EOF in your input:
while not endOfFile(stdin):
var name: string = readLine(stdin)
echo "Hi, ", name, "!"
The procedure readLineFromStdin (https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/version-1-2/lib/impure/rdstdin.nim#L54) is not that complex, and you can re-write your own adding the above code to it.
While #xbello's answer is correct, if you want to use a package, we ended up using https://github.com/jangko/nim-noise, which supports C-d handling and loads of other features.

How to store a command output in OpenVMS

Im having an issue writing a DCL in OpenVMS in that I need the DCL to call a command and capture its output (but not output the output to the screen) Later on in the DCL I then need to print that output I stored.
Heres an example:
ICE SET FASTER !This command sets my environment to the "Faster" environment.
The above command outputs this if executed directly in OpenVMS:
Initialising TEST Environment to FASTER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using Test Search rules FASTER
Using Test Search rules FASTER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dcl>
So I created a DCL in an attempt to wrap this output in order to display a more simplified output. Heres my code so far:
!************************************************************************
$ !* Wrapper for setting ICE account. Outputs Environment
$ !************************************************************************
$ on error then goto ABORT_PROCESS
$ICE_DCL_MAIN:
$ ice set 'P1'
$ ICE SHOW
$ EXIT
$ABORT_PROCESS:
$ say "Error ICING to: " + P1
$ EXIT 2
[End of file]
In the lines above ICE SET 'P1' is setting the ice environment, but I dont want this output to be echoed to VMS. But what I do want is to write the output of $ICE SHOW into a variable and then echo that out later on in the DCL (most of which ive omitted for simplification purposes)
So what should be outputted should be:
current Test Environment is DISK$DEVELOPERS:[FASTER.DEVELOP]
Instead of:
Initialising TEST Environment to FASTER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using Test Search rules FASTER
Using Test Search rules FASTER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
current Test Environment is DISK$DEVELOPERS:[FASTER.DEVELOP]
Ive had a look through the manual and im getting a bit confused so I figured I tried here. Id appreciate any pointers. Thanks.
EDIT
Here is what ive come up with after the comments, the problem im having is when I connect to VMS using an emulator such as SecureCRT the correct output is echoed. But when I run the DCL via my SSH2 library in .NET it doesnt output anything. I guess thats because it closes the SYS$OUTPUT stream temporarily or something?
$ !************************************************************************
$ !* Wrapper for setting ICE account. Outputs Environment
$ !************************************************************************
$ on error then goto ABORT_PROCESS
$ICE_DCL_MAIN:
$ DEFINE SYS$OUTPUT NL:
$ ice set 'P1'
$ DEASSIGN SYS$OUTPUT
$ ice show
$ EXIT
$ABORT_PROCESS:
$ say "Error ICING to: " + P1
$ EXIT 2
[End of file]
EDIT 2
So I guess really I need to clarify what im trying to do here. Blocking the output doesnt so matter so much, im merely trying to capture it into a Symbol for example.
So in C# for example you can have a method that returns a string. So you'd have string myResult = vms.ICETo("FASTER"); and it would return that and store it in the variable.
I guess im looking for a similar thing in VMS so that once ive iced to the environment I can call:
$ environment == $ICE SHOW
But I of course get errors with that statement
The command $ assign/user_mode Thing Sys$Output will cause output to be redirected to Thing until you $ deassign/user_mode Sys$Output or next executable image exits. An assignment without the /USER_MODE qualifier will persist until deassigned.
Thing can be a logical name, a file specification (LOG.TXT) or the null device (NLA0:) if you simply want to flush the output.
When a command procedure is executed the output can be redirected using an /OUTPUT qualifier, e.g. $ #FOO/output=LOG.TXT.
And then there is piping ... .
You can redirect the output to a temp file and then print its content later:
$ pipe write sys$output "hi" > tmp.tmp
$ ty tmp.tmp
VMS is not Unix, DCL is not Bash: you can not easily set a DCL symbol from the output of a command.
Your ICE SHOW prints one line, correct? The first word is always "current", correct?
So you can create a hack.
First let me fake your ICE command:
$ create ice.com
$ write sys$output "current Test Environment is DISK$DEVELOPERS:[FASTER.DEVELOP]"
^Z
$
and I define a dcl$path pointing to the directory where this command procedure is
so that I can use/fake the command ICE
$ define dcl$path sys$disk[]
$ ice show
current Test Environment is DISK$DEVELOPERS:[FASTER.DEVELOP]
$
Now what you need, create a command procedure which sets a job logical
$ cre deflog.com
$ def/job/nolog mylog "current''p1'"
^Z
$
And I define a command "current" to run that command procedure:
$ current="#deflog """
Yes, you need three of the double quotes at the end of the line!
And finally:
$ pipe (ice show | #sys$pipe) && mysym="''f$log("mylog")'"
$ sh symb mysym
MYSYM = "current Test Environment is DISK$DEVELOPERS:[FASTER.DEVELOP]"
$
On the other hand, I don't know what you are referring to C# and Java. Can you elaborate on that and tell us what runs where?
You can try using: DEFINE /USER SYS$OUTPUT NL:.
It works only for the next command and you dont need to deassign.
Sharing some of my experience here. I used below methods to redirect outputs to files.
Define/Assign the user output and then execute the required command/script afterwards. Output will be written to .
$define /user sys$output <file_path>
execute your command/script
OR
assign /user <file_path> sys$output
execute your command/script
deassign sys$output
To re-direct in to null device like in Unix (mentioned in above answers), you can use 'nl:' instead of
define /user sys$output nl:
or
assign /user nl: sys$output

dcl assignment from a command

I am new to DCL.
I want to get the out put of a command in a variable and iterate result one by one.
filePath=dir /since="time_now" [.SUBDIR]*.PNG/noheader/notrail
That's just not how we roll with DCL.
We don't do pipes, we do, but not really.
DIR/SINCE=NOW ... will not give anything by definition, since nothing exists since now.
Use /OUT to stick the directory output into a file, and then read ans parse (F$PARSE and/or F$ELEMENT and/or F$LOC)
Check out HELP OPEN; HELP READ [/END]; HELP LEXICAL
Google for examples.
More advanced DCL scripts use F$PARSE, F$SEARCH and F$FILE(file,CDT) to avoid activating images and creating temp files: $ HELP LEXICAL
Google for examples.
Check out yesterday stack-exhange entry ?! : OpenVMS - DELETE Line if TEXT like x
But if you are just starting... IMHO just skip DCL and stick to PERL
$ perl -e "for (<[.SUBDIR]*.PNG>) { next unless -M > 0.123; print; ... }"
Good luck!

Bash $PATH is caching every modification

How to clear the cache of $PATH in BASH. Every time I modify the $PATH, the former modifications are conserved too! So my $PATH is already one page :-), and it bothers me to work, because it points to some not right places (because every modification is being appended in the end of the $PATH variable). Please help me to solve this problem.
because every modification is being
appended in the end of the $PATH
variable
Take a close look at where you are setting $PATH, I bet it looks something like this:
PATH="$PATH:/some/new/dir:/another/newdir:"
Having $PATH in the new assignment gives you the appending behavior you don't want.
Instead do this:
PATH="/some/new/dir:/another/newdir:"
Update
If you want to strip $PATH of all duplicate entries but still maintain the original order then you can do this:
PATH=$(awk 'BEGIN{ORS=":";RS="[:\n]"}!a[$0]++' <<<"${PATH%:}")
PATH=$(echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n' | sort | uniq | tr '\n' ':')
Once in a while execute the above command. It will tidy up your PATH variable by removing any duplication.
-Cheers
PS: Warning: This will reorder the Paths in PATH variable. And can have undesired effects !!
When I'm setting my PATH, I usually use this script - which I last modified in 1999, it seems (but use daily on all my Unix-based computers). It allows me to add to my PATH (or LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or CDPATH, or any other path-like variable) and eliminate duplicates, and trim out now unwanted values.
Usage
export PATH=$(clnpath /important/bin:$PATH:/new/bin /old/bin:/debris/bin)
The first argument is the new path, built by any technique you like. The second argument is a list of names to remove from the path (if they appear - no error if they don't). For example, I have up to about five versions of the software I work on installed at any given time. To switch between versions, I use this script to adjust both PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to pick up the correct values for the version I'm about to start using, and remove the values of the version I'm no longer using.
Code
: "#(#)$Id: clnpath.sh,v 1.6 1999/06/08 23:34:07 jleffler Exp $"
#
# Print minimal version of $PATH, possibly removing some items
case $# in
0) chop=""; path=${PATH:?};;
1) chop=""; path=$1;;
2) chop=$2; path=$1;;
*) echo "Usage: `basename $0 .sh` [$PATH [remove:list]]" >&2
exit 1;;
esac
# Beware of the quotes in the assignment to chop!
echo "$path" |
${AWK:-awk} -F: '#
BEGIN { # Sort out which path components to omit
chop="'"$chop"'";
if (chop != "") nr = split(chop, remove); else nr = 0;
for (i = 1; i <= nr; i++)
omit[remove[i]] = 1;
}
{
for (i = 1; i <= NF; i++)
{
x=$i;
if (x == "") x = ".";
if (omit[x] == 0 && path[x]++ == 0)
{
output = output pad x;
pad = ":";
}
}
print output;
}'
Commentary
The ':' is an ancient way of using /bin/sh (originally the Bourne shell - now as often Bash) to run the script. If I updated it, the first line would become a shebang. I'd also not use tabs in the code. And there are ways to get the 'chop' value set that do not involve as many quotes:
awk -F: '...script...' chop="$chop"
But it isn't broken, so I haven't fixed it.
When adding entries to PATH, you should check to see if they're already there. Here's what I use in my .bashrc:
pathadd() {
if [ -d "$1" ] && [[ ":$PATH:" != *":$1:"* ]]; then
PATH="$PATH:$1"
fi
}
pathadd /usr/local/bin
pathadd /usr/local/sbin
pathadd ~/bin
This only adds directories to PATH if they exist (i.e. no bogus entries) and aren't already there. Note: the pattern matching feature I use to see if the entry is already in PATH is only available in bash, not the original Bourne shell; if you want to use this with /bin/sh, that part'd need to be rewritten.
I have a nice set of scripts that add path variables to the beginning or end of PATH depending on the ordering I want. The problem is OSX starts with /usr/local/bin after /usr/bin, which is exactly NOT what I want (being a brew user and all). So what I do is put a new copy of /usr/local/bin in front of everything else and use the following to remove all duplicates (and leave ordering in place).
MYPATH=$(echo $MYPATH|perl -F: -lape'$_=join":",grep!$s{$_}++,#F')
I found this on perlmonks. Like most perl, it looks like line noise to me so I have no idea how it works, but work it does!

How do I convert csh aliases into MODULEFILE compatible set-alias commands?

I have a bunch of aliases that I would like to share with co-workers and I would like to put it in our project modulefile. Is there a script that would do the conversion for me? Or at least give me a good start and then I could fix the ones that didn't translate well?
P.S. Could someone with more rep create a modulefile tag?
I don't know of any tool that does the translation, but you can use something like this if the aliases are all one-liners:
Firstly, make a Tcl script like this, e.g., called convertalias.tcl:
while {[gets stdin line] >= 0} {
if {[regexp {^alias (\w+)='(.*)'$} -> name def]} {
puts [list set-alias $name $def]
} else {
puts stderr "Rejected line: $line"
}
}
Then use it in a bash command line like this (where bash$ is the prompt):
bash$ alias | tclsh convertalias.tcl >aliases.def
You'll then have to hack the aliases.def file, but it should give you a start. It will also print out any lines it couldn't grok (after all, it's just a stupid script...)
