First Message transmitted over the Internet – “LO”

In internet world, people transmitting billions bytes data. But do you know what word transmitted over the internet

The transmission itself was simply to “login” to SRI from UCLA. They succeeded in transmitting the “l” and the “o” and then the system crashed! Hence, the first message on the Internet was “lo”, as in “lo and behold! They were able to do the full login about an hour later.

Linux Check File Exist or not – Shell Script

The following script used to check the specified file present or not in shell script

#!/bin/bash
#########################################################################################
# This Shell script used to find the specificed
file exixts or not on particular location #########################################################################################

filePath="/home/file-path"
fileName="$filePath/filename.txt"
if [ -f "$fileName" ]
then
echo "$fileName found"
else
echo "$fileName not found"
fi

To check multiple file on same if condtion

filePath="/home/file-path"
fileName="$filePath/filename.txt"
fileName2="$filePath/filename2.txt"
if [ -f "$fileName" ] && [ -f "$fileName2" ]
then
echo "$fileName found"
else
echo "$fileName not found"
fi

vi Editor – Searching and Replacing

Searching and Replacing

The formal syntax for searching is:

:s/string

For example, suppose you want to search some text for the string “cherry.” Type the following and press ENTER:

:s/cherry

The first match for “cherry” in your text will then be highlighted. To see if there are additional occurrences of the same string in the text, type n, and the highlight will switch to the next match, if one exists.

The syntax for replacing one string with another string in the current line is

:s/pattern/replace/

Here “pattern” represents the old string and “replace” represents the new string. For example, to replace each occurrence of the word “lemon” in a line with “orange,” type:

:s/lemon/orange/

The syntax for replacing every occurrence of a string in the entire text is similar. The only difference is the addition of a “%” in front of the “s”:

:%s/pattern/replace/

Thus repeating the previous example for the entire text instead of just for a single line would be:

:%s/lemon/orange/

Pilish

Pilish is a style of writing in which the lengths of consecutive words match the digits of the number π (pi).

The following sentence is an example which matches the first fifteen digits of π:
How I need a drink, alcoholic in nature, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics!

The following Pilish poem (written by Joseph Shipley) matches the first 31 digits of π:
But a time I spent wandering in bloomy night;
Yon tower, tinkling chimewise, loftily opportune.
Out, up, and together came sudden to Sunday rite,
The one solemnly off to correct plenilune.

A full-length Pilish novel has been published,which currently holds the record of the longest Pilish text with 10,000 digits.

In order to deal with occurrences of the digit zero, the following rule set was introduced (referred to as Basic Pilish):
In Basic Pilish, each word of n letters represents
(1) The digit n if n < 10
(2) The digit 0 if n = 10

Since long runs of small non-zero digits are difficult to deal with naturally (such as 1121 or 1111211), another rule set called Standard Pilish was introduced:
In Standard Pilish, each word of n letters represents
(1) The digit n if n < 10
(2) The digit 0 if n = 10
(3) Two consecutive digits if n > 10
(for example, a 12-letter word represents the digits 1,2)
