unshar htm patch file

[zsujith]

Hi,
I have downloaded the patch PHSS_36088.html and and remove first few lines up to "----------" and done the following commands.
# ls
PHSS_36088.htm
# sh PHSS_36088.htm
PHSS_36088.htm[13]: ^M: not found.
PHSS_36088.htm[14]: LANG^M: This is not an identifier.
# dos2ux PHSS_36088.htm > PHSS_36088
# sh PHSS_36088
PHSS_36088[20]: Syntax error at line 20 : `&' is not expected.
#

I am getting the sysntax error in line 20.


Can any one help me to resolve this issue.

You did something wrong!

On the download page, select

+ Expand to view additional download options

select gzip or tar and download.

If you transfer it from a PC to the server with ftp, use binary mode.

Typically you should save it as PHSS_36088.
Then you unshar it with sh.
Also, besides PHSS_36088, you probably need a compiler patch and you might as well download both and automatically get that choice Torsten's mentions.

Hi,

Patch file is not downloaded in proper format here.

On download page use FTP button at bottom of the screen and disable any download accelerator if any e.g. DAP etc

You will get windows download file window and then save that file without any extension.

As said earlier, use bin to transfer to hp box from pc...

Hi:

This happens when yuo download an individual patch to a Windows PC using HTML.

You need to FTP it from you Windows PC to your Unix server in ASCII mode to eliminate the carriage-return characters (^M). Your use of 'dos2ux' will also fix that after the fact.

The second problem is that the HTML encoded symbols like '>', '<' and '&'. A Perl snippet will fix that:

# perl -MHTML::Entities -pi -e 'decode_entities($_)' ./PHSS_36088

Hi,

It seems like there are hidden "^M" characters in the PHSS_36088.htm file.
Use the following procedure to remove the "^M" characters
# tr -d '\015' < PHSS_36088.htm > PHSS_36088.htm.out
# sh PHSS_36088.htm.out
Let me know if this worked.

Cheers

Rohit
