What Is Scripting Language ?

I have reasonable experience in linux based systems. I want to learn a scripting language , can anyone out there suggest which one is the best to start with ? I would be grateful if anyone can provide me with links / books references as well ...

Hello everybody,

My system specifications: Samsung RV509, i3, 300GB HDD, 3GB Ram, Dual boot Windows7 & LM 17 cinnamon 32bit.

I have OpenOffice preinstalled on my system. I would like to create 'kannada' language word documents and be able to save them as windows .doc type file and/or .pdf file. [Kannada is the language of a state in south India.]

In case of windows; some 'kannada' language softwares called as 'Baraha' and 'Nudi' are available, that can be installed on a windows pc and 'kannada' language word documents can be created there.

These 'kannada' language softwares are not available for Linux.

However I want to be able to create 'kannada' language word documents on my Linux machine.

Is this possible? Could someone please kindly help me in this regard? I would be greatfull.

Thanks & Regards

Anil

Whenever I log into Hotmail (and usually when I log into Gmail) as I begin writing everything is marked as mispelled, and when I click on Language, I find it has defaulted to French.

I do occasionally work in French, and I am used to the system fefulting to whichever language I have used more recently, but since the last upgrade to 34.0, it always defaults to French. If I have started with Hotmail, it almost always taks two or three tries to change the default; with Gmail it usually catches on the first try.

I am relatively sure this is a Firefox bug, as it does not occur if I open with Opera.

Any ideas? Or should I just be passing a bug report to Mozilla?

Hi,

i am using ubuntu 12.04 i working on scripting i want know how to change set of user passwords in shell scripting .

I want to show keyboard layout and selection of language at login screen in RHEL 7.

I have modified the language menu to show "show keyboard layout" and "Region & Language settings".
On clicking above menu items, applications are launched but they are not visible at login screen.
I check the programs are running by taking a remote session.

gkbd-keyboard-display -l us
gnome-control-center region

above two applications are executing but none is displaying at login screen(gdm).

How can I bring the applications at top of display manager(gdm).

I have tried

Hello.
I added another language to my Keyboard layout but it is not changed automatically. For example, when I'm in Libreoffice and changed my Keyboard layout to another language and back to Mozillia firefox it is not back to "EN" automatically and I should change it manually.

I use Debian 7.7.

Tnx.

Hi,
I am working with a software that is based on Perl scripting and I have encountered with a bash scripting error. So as I am not familiar with bash scripting well, I don't know how I can solve.
sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('
sh: -c: line 1: ` 32(andRlooks_unw'

It should be mentioned that my $SHELL is /bin/bash. Could you please guide me what '-c' is? where is it? if I change the shebang (the #!/bin/sh part) to #!/bin/bash, the problem will be solved?

Hi, this is my first question here in LinuxQuestion.org =)

I couldn´t find a tutorial or first steps for the AWK language in this forum. Is there any course or book you guys recommend ?

Thanks

I'm using a Swedish keyboard and switch to English for certain terminal commands. I use English as the system language. In both mint 13 and 15 I was able to keep the Swedish layout after restart; now I have to set the keyboard to Swedish after every restart. In 15 it was possible to have a persistent keyboard layout which differed from the system language. I think it was throught regional settings. In 13 I seem to remember using a command from the terminal which I can neither remember or find. Its not a big thing to set the keyboard layout after restart but its rather annoying. Any suggestions?

Ok yes this is a homework assignment BUT I am NOT looking to have the answers given to me. I am in the 6th week of my first Linux class ever and we are in our few weeks of beginning scripting. I have some ideas of what to do or where to start but not many and no one to bounce any ideas off...we are using UNIX Bash shell so any others I have no clue. The scenario is that I need a script that searches all my users home directories for bad words. I need the script to report to the screen certain info like username and word found and path. It should ask a user if it is good or bad and if bad be put into a file of list of bad file names, if good remove from list and no longer flagged by the script. What I have so far is wanting to somehow do a loop. I do know that if I do a grep -r -e kill -e steal /home/* I get a list of what I need. I also know that the list is separated by delimiters which I can pipe to get a variable for the things I need. I also know that I can put it to a file with a > filename.txt

What I have no clue is how to start a loop that would do this...

for each line in filename.txt
UNAME=...
LOC=...
TXT=...
echo "Username: $UNAME, Line with bad word found: $TXT, and Path and file name: $LOC. Is this a BAD file? (Y)"
Read YORN

if ["$YORN" = "Y" ]; then
>> (line of text from grep) badfiles.txt
fi

Next or whatever goes there...sorry if this is crazy I just really need some direction. I am trying to learn so please don't give me the answer...that will do nothing for me and I will not be able to explain the code I came up with.
