Print the hexa decimal numbers in between.

[KapilRaj]

Hello folks,

A quick request. Please let me know a quick way of printing the hexa decimal numbers between 5B40 and 5B42. ( 5B40,5B41 and 5B42 )

Yes, you guessed it right. It is the output of symmaskdb list db from a symmetrix.

Thanks in advance. (There might be a perl one liner somewhere but I am not able to find it.

Regards,

Kaps

Hi Kaps:

# perl -e 'printf "%0x\n",$_ for 0x5B40..0x5B42'

Thanks you JRF ... Thanks a ton. ( Re-opening to assign points )

Hi (again):

Oops, the :

# perl -e 'printf "%0x\n",$_ for 0x5B40..0x5B42'

...was meant to be:

# perl -e 'printf "%#x\n",$_ for 0x5B40..0x5B42'

...if you want the output to include the leading '0x' to clearly signify hexadecimal. Drop that formatting directive if you don't want the '0x' but just the value.

Regards!

Or from a real shell:
typeset -i10 start=16#5B40 end=16#5B42
while (( start <= end )); do
    printf '0x%x\n' $start
    (( start += 1 ))
done

Hi (again) Kaps:

If you want your output to contain lowercase (0x) use:

# perl -e 'printf "%#x\n",$_ for 0xf..0x20'

(or):

# perl -e 'printf "%x\n",$_ for 0xf..0x20'

If you want the output to show uppercase (0X), use:

# perl -e 'printf "%#X\n",$_ for 0xf..0x20'

(or):

perl -e 'printf "%X\n",$_ for 0xf..0x20'

The range you specify can be in any number base (octal [with a leading zero as '010']; decimal; or hexadecimal).

Regards!

You guys are awesome -- Thanks to all the responses.

I gave up on the hex conversion in the script. i.e. I was using "symmaskdb -sid list db" , now I changed it to symmaskdb -sid -wwn list devs # This one does not print the range :).

Thank you for the help. I am sure, I will run into this requirement in future. It was good education.

In EMC-eze....

symdev list -RANGE 5b40:5B42

Rgrds,

And if you only wanted the symdev number:

symdev list -RANGE 5B40:5B42 | awk '{print $1}'
