Explain the task performed by the following pipeline.  Can u simplify it 2 use 2 commands instead of 4?

Ok, basically your command is displaying a list of all files in the current directory based modification time that have a file name pattern of fork*.c where the * is any combination of characters followed by a period and then a c.    Next that listing is passed to the cut program which does something about further slimming down the results.  finally all the information is passed to sort which will return results removing any duplicates.    \n\nalright.. well with that said, hopefully that makes sense... now how you could simplify that into 2 commands is a bit beyond my know how but.. but i imagine you could probably use ls and grep only.  grep is a very powerful application and you can do many things with it.. i'd do some research on it and see what you can figure out.

1>INPUT 1\n2>STORE 1 in A\n3>STORE 1 in B\n4>ADD A to B\n5>STORE A\n6>DISPLAY A\n\nThat's total of 6 steps. If you have 2 different numbers than you will have one more step of INPUT 'X' so it will be total 7 steps in that case.

Its tricky work, i need digrams to explain to you so your better just following this link, I think it will help you out.

well, you didn't specify a language so here's korn shell:\n\n#! /bin/ksh\nread c\nTEMP=1\nwhile [ $TEMP -lt $c ]; do\n  echo "**********************************" | cut -c1-$TEMP\n  let "c += 1"\ndone\n\nmy c++ is a bit rusty, but the loop would look like this:\n\nwhile ( c = 1; c <= count ; c++ )\n{\n  while ( d = 1; d <= c; d++ )\n  {\n    cout << "*";\n  }\n  cout << endl;\n}\n\nhope this helps :-)

I'm trying 2 figure out how 2 chick this question.

You can open a cmd (dos) window in the directory you want to list. Type in the command dir>dir.txt.\nThis will "pipe" the output of the dir (directory) to a file called dir.txt.

What file? What command? Did you try it?

OH-(aq) + HC2H3O2(aq)---> H2O(l) + C2H3O2-(aq)

A. Just multiply CF and then subract the resulting matrix from C. Is there something specific about the required operations you don't understand?

I'd dump it into a compiler and do it for you but you left too much out.  Impossible to return a syntax error free version without the whole program.\n\nAnyways, I get paid for this.  How many points is this worth?  ...to do someone's homework for him?  Or maybe he's doing contract work!  He's getting $70 and hour to let us do it for him!

What type of program or command do you want to execute.\nIf you don't want all the commands to be seen, each command line has to start with echo. That is echo and a period which means don't show what is typed after it. I haven't written a batch command for some time but it can be tricky if you mis-type a single keystroke.\nE-mail me with details of what you want to do and I'll see if I can make it work.

you should research the "awk" / "gawk" commands in unix. they can do this work.  you may also need "sort"

sorry. i dont think there is such a command.

Why the hell should I complete these tasks

the first file is the executing file...when u extract that only.. all files get extracted auto.\nyou must have all the COMPLETE pieces but for that or it will keep giving an error notice.

You should run it through "explain plan" and depend on the output decide how to optimize your query
