Code Mango

I haven’t really posted any recent code up here in a very, very long time…so I figured I’d post the little bash script I wrote for my mom last year for mother’s day.

#!/bin/sh

#A script written by Shane Owens For his Mom

#Based of Script written by Justin Kelz

echo -n “Who are you!?

:”

read name

while [ -z $name ]

do

echo -n “Please enter your name, MOM!

:”

read name

done

echo -n “Who’s the King of the World?

:”

read king

while [ -z $king ]

do

echo -n “Psst, you know it’s Shane; just type it in!

:”

read king

done

while [ : ]

do

clear

cat << MENU

So, I had some giggle farts last year and just wanted to share them with you all. :3

Just testing out a “Google Wave” plugin test, I realize anyone without a wave-sandbox account can’t see this. But if you can. It’s very, very neat. If you do have a developer account from the WaveSandBox, you should check out this neat wordpress app. Located here. Well, anywho. Here’s the test, if you can see it tell me what ya’ think.

The other day I was wondering how many times I’ve said a certain word in my pidgin logs, so I opened up a terminal and started playing with cat and grep. I eventually found out that I could just do ” cat /home/username/.purple/logs/*/*/*/* | grep ‘word’ -ic ” After playing with that a few times.

mangospork@Carter ~ $ cat /home/mangospork/.purple/logs/*/*/*/* | grep ‘lol’ -ic
42308

I got lazy, and thought it’d be cool to write some form of bash script to do it all for me. Using cat and grep, I came up with this.

#!/bin/sh
#A Script written by Shane Owens
#Purpose: To see how many times you’ve said a certain word in pidgin logs.
echo -n “Hello. What is your name?
>”
read name
while [ -z $name ];
do
echo -n “C’mon just enter it!
>”
done
while :;
do
{
echo -n “What word would you like to search $name?
>”
read word

cat ~/.purple/logs/*/*/*/* | grep “$word” -ic
sleep 2
clear
}
done

It was a really simple concept, and turned out to be pretty fun outcome. Heh. If you’d like a direct link to download it, download it here.

Oh right, almost forgot about installation!

1. Copy + paste the script to whateveryouwant.sh, with your text editor.
2. As your root user, cd to the directory you placed it. (Ex. cd /home/mangospork/blah/ ) then chmod u+x thefilename.sh (Ex. chmod u+x blah.sh)
3. Then as your standard user, just cd to the directory and type ./whateveryoucalledit.sh (Ex. ./blah.sh)

Oh and I’ve said ‘lol’ 42308 times, ‘fail’ 848 times, ‘lmao’ 755 times, and ‘heh’ 2104 times.
