Re: cygwin commands (cat,grep) not working in my windows 2008 machine

[cyberdon]

HI, 

I was getting error when tryin to run cat command as well but once i ran it
like this:

/bin/cat pinger.data

then it began to work and the data from file "pinger.data" was parsed out
Maybe this'll work for you.
Thanks!

Cyberdon

That implies that your PATH is screwed up and you likely had some other
version of cat in another directory, possibly from a 3PP.

cygwin commands (cat,grep) not working in my windows 2008 machine

[sudhap85]

Hi,
   I am using windows 2008 machine. I have installed latest cygwin. Here I
am facing problem with the "cat" "grep" commands. In command line its
working fine. but In my scripts it's giving error. Am using PERL script for
my testing. These commands are not working in the following scenario,
 1. cat file1 > file2
  2. grep 'compileCFFilters' MHSlog >> resultfile
I have also installed the Activeperl in my system.
Also, I am running the script with PERL 5.8.0 version.


Thanks in advance.

So what's the error?  Without this as a clue, we can only guess.

How are you running your scripts? (e.g. from a bash shell, a cmd
shell, or from a shortcut)

My WAG is that $PATH in the script is different from $PATH on the
command line.

Please read and follow the instructions in this link:

Pay particular attention to the instruction to run "cygcheck -svr",
*attaching* the output to your reply (i.e. don't paste it in).

Hi,
     what i means the problem here is that function is not working for me.
(i.e) if i run cat > file1 >>file2. Here file1 content is not copied to
file2.
Also Am running perl script (PERL version 5.8.0) in windows 2008 platform.

This is not cygwin specific.  Nor is it how the shell works.  If you want
output to go to two places, you need to use tee, not multiple redirection
operators.

tee file2 < file1 >> file3

copies file1 into file2 (overwrite) and file3 (append).  You probably want
to read a good shell tutorial book.

There is no cygwin 5.2.
