Hey;

Some context might be helpful...

I've seen things like that in html docs.. not normally in shells - at least not with functional terminals.

hi

where do you see these? Is your TERM variable set correctly? where did you get your shell script from??

Cheers
Elias

echo "^[&f0k${#hn}D$hn^M\c"
elif [ "$TERM" = "xterm" -o "$TERM" = "vt100" ]
then
echo "\033]2;$hn\007\c"
elif [ "$TERM" = "dtterm" -o "$TERM" = "vt220" ]

I think what you are seeing is cut-and-paste issues with the forums.

The forums seem to not like it if you paste something from MS Word. Characters get translated to their ASCII values for some reason.

If you did get the script from the Forums, it would be helpful to know which thread. Then maybe we can help you get it corrected.

alright, the problem is actually with that post itself.

it should have been something like this:

if [ $TERM = hp -o $TERM = dterm ];
then
fi

so replace &=93 with [ and &=91 with ]

it could be because of problem with cut and paste

i'm sorry, actually &=91; is [ and &=93; is ]

delays[x]="Delay?"
done
unset delays[*]
}

while (( x < $strg_len )) && (( $strg_len < 1024 ))
do
(( x = x + 1 ))
scroll[x]=`echo "$*" |cut -c $x`
[ ${scroll[x]} ] 2> /dev/null && {
print "${scroll[x]}\c"
delay 2000
} || {
print "${scroll[x]}\c"
delay 5000

delays[x]="Delay?"

delays[;x];="Delay?"

; seem to be part of the code.
[ is [

So script you give should look like :

delays[x]="Delay?"
done
unset delays[*]
}

while (( x < $strg_len )) && (( $strg_len < 1024 ))
do
(( x = x + 1 ))
scroll[x]=`echo "$*" |cut -c $x`
[ ${scroll[x]} ] 2> /dev/null && {
print "${scroll[x]}\c"
delay 2000
} || {
print "${scroll[x]}\c"
delay 5000

Doesn't it look nice ?

Regards,

Fred
