Batch file search for text and count lines

Hi all, I had just finish a batch file which will search for certain string in a file then count the number of lines with the string. Its great for searching through logfile. Points to take note: Remember to put Logfile.txt and countData.bat in the same folder. %1 is actually the value that the user can pass in. Logfile.txt is the file that you are searching in. There is 2 ways to get the batch file to work. One is type countData.bat "stringThatYouWantToSearch" in the command prompt. Second is create another batch file and type countData.bat "stringThatYouWantToSearch" in that batch file. Then double click on it to run it.

Review of Nation by Terry Patchett

Review of Nation by Terry Pattchett Short review - It must be one of the best book I had read so far! Emotional, smart, funny, romanic and so very brilliant! Must read! 5/5 Longer review The Nation started off with Mau the 15 years old boy who had gone to the boy island to leave his boy soul behind and return to his Nation to receive his Man soul. Most culture have some sort of coming of age ritual in which the boy became a boy, and in Singapore we call this ritual “National Service” in which boys who was over 18 years old must serve under the army for 2 years and so I can understand what it is like to be like Mau, who had to prove himself by performing this ritual. And like most boys, we are afraid of this ritual as we are unsure of what to do and when to do it. Unlike most boys who are able to return home after their ritual, Mua’s island was strike by a huge tsunami wave that had engulfed his own island. The stage is set for Mua to survive and somehow find meaning to continue ...

Rad hat grub.conf

Hi all, Its time for another random update! Yes! Actually I was told to install red hat and setup the boot loader in my lab. So I decided to write a simple script that will do configure the boot loader. Here is my script if you are interested #!/bin/bash rm /boot/grub/grub.conf cp /media/TOSHIBA/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf rm /root/Desktop/file2.sh reboot And here is my grub.conf file # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,1) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=1 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz showmenu title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-128.el5PAE) root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.el5PAE ro root=LABEL=/ rh...

Random Review: Craig Venter creates synthetic life form!

Its time for another update and this one is extremely huge! We human had created synthetic life form (well actually Craig Venter and his team did)! I’m not a bio student nor do I actually know anything about life science so i will keep this short. Life now can be created from chemical and no magical being or power is needed. This will lead to a lot of religion problem. I can foresee that religion group that need God to create life will try to ban this science and Crag Venter might actually receive dead threat as a result of this. Lets all hope the best for Crag team as they are indeed the light of humanity need. Source from Click here to see the guardian news source
