[SOLVED] Vocabulary Trainer or Learning Archit. for the Command Line

I am writing my PhD in English which actually is not my native language. So vocabulary and expression learning is an important task. When I came to Arch part of the decision was also ralted to my whish to work as close to the Command Line as possible. So I am looking everywhere to find a vocabulary trainer for the shell. Unfortunately I was not able to find even one. I looked:
- at the Arch Wiki 'List of Applications'
- at the Ubuntu Wiki 'Shell Applications'
- at http://www.jaredandcoralee.com/CLIapps.html
- searched both the Arch and Ubuntu Wiki
- searched Google for 'Vocabulary Trainer cli', 'Vocabulary Tainer terminal emulator', 'Vocabulary Trainer Linux Shell'
Is anyone aware of such an application for the shell or has anyone ideas for a kind of work around using a combination of existing software/shell scripts/shell commands.
Thanky you.
PS: Of cause I could just start something like simple Python Script working with a csv file or something comparabla. But if possible I would like to avoud this DIY solution.

To "just start using" the shell, I'd suggest greg's wiki
Ok, I think there is a misunderstanding. My question does not relate to learn to use the shell. Although far from being perfect I already feel quite comfortable with the shell and its ways to interact with the system.
It's really more basic. I have to improve my English. And in this context I need a vocabulary trainer, to learn english words and english academic expressions, nothing more. And as I am feeling quite close to the shel it would have been nice to train english vocabulary on the shell and not with something like KWordQuiz, etc.
Sorry if my description was ambiguous. So the question still is, is there a vocabulary trainer for self defined english vocabulary to train in the shell?
PS: Of cause also learning english is something you mostly do by learning. But I will do  that anyhow as I am writing the PhD in english and as I am presenting in English. Anyhow I experienced that there is a part in foreign language learning where there is no real subsitutde for learning it with a vocabulary trainer.

  • Want to learn more about the command line for Mac OS X

    Hi, I'm kind of new here...I've been using my MacBook since last summer, however I want to really get a feel of the command line and would like some recommendations on how to learn more about it.
    Looks like it is based off of BSD, and I've been using Linux for about 10 years now and also have a CompTIA Linux+ cert, however some of the commands aren't the same.
    So, if anyone can post some websites/recommendations that would be great.
    thanks

    Buy any one or more of the many books available at Amazon.com about Unix under OS X. Linux and Unix are related but not the same. Even FreeBSD Unix is not the same as what's implemented under the OS X hood.
    And you will find other good books at PeachPit.com.
    There also is a separate Unix forum here.

  • [SOLVED] Why doesn't imagemagick work off the command line?

    Hi
    I want to do some experimentation with ImageMagick.
    Pacman says it is installed and I can find various dirs called ImageMagick, but I can't find an actual binary to run commands against.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thanks

    There are different binarys for the different "jobs".
    You can read the man-pages to find out what "job" each binary can do.
    To resize a image you have to use /usr/bin/convert for example.
    "pacman -Ql imagemagick | grep bin" lists the binarys installed with imagemagick
    $ pacman -Ql imagemagick | grep bin
    imagemagick /usr/bin/Magick++-config
    imagemagick /usr/bin/Magick-config
    imagemagick /usr/bin/Wand-config

  • Is there a way to pass archive file name to the command-line control?

    Hi there,
    I have been researching the flash media live encoder laterly. But still cannot find confirmed anwsers on the following questions:
    1. Is there a way to pass an archive file name to the command-line control when starting an encoder?
    2. Can the username/password to the Flash Media Server be saved in the profile? If not, is there any otherway to provide(GUI mode) them automatically,
        like as variables to a script?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Helen

    1. The only way to inform the command-line encoder about the archive file name is to save the FMLE session profile with the file name. The node for saving the file name is <output><file><path>C:\sample.flv</output></file></path>. The easier way to update the xml profile is to use "Save Profile" option of the GUI mode. If you want to programmatically update the file name, read the profile and update the node before launching the encoder. I hope this answers your question.
    2. No. Credentials can't be saved in the profile. The only way to provide them programmatically is to use /ap and /ab commands for the command-line encoder. For GUI mode, there is no programmable option. But still you can try capturing keystrokes.

  • Using a Variable in SSIS - Error - "Command text was not set for the command object.".

    Hi All,
    I am using a OLE DB Source in my dataflow component and want to select SQL Query from the master table  I have created variables v_Archivequery
    String packageLevel (to store the query).
    <Variable Name="V_Archivequery" DataType="String">
         SELECT a.*, b.BBxKey as Archive_BBxKey, b.RowChecksum as Archive_RowChecksum
         FROM dbo.ImportBBxFbcci a LEFT OUTER JOIN Archive.dbo.ArchiveBBxFbcci b
         ON (SUBSTRING(a.Col001,1,4) + SUBSTRING(a.Col002,1,10)) = b.BBxKey
         Where (b.LatestVersion = 1 OR b.LatestVersion IS NULL)
        </Variable>
    I am assigning this query to the v_Archivequery variable, "SELECT a.*, b.BBxKey as Archive_BBxKey, b.RowChecksum as Archive_RowChecksum
    FROM dbo.ImportBBxFbcci a LEFT OUTER JOIN Archive.dbo.ArchiveBBxFbcci b
     ON (SUBSTRING(a.Col001,1,4) + SUBSTRING(a.Col002,1,10)) = b.BBxKey
    Where (b.LatestVersion = 1 OR b.LatestVersion IS NULL)"
    Now in the OLE Db source, I have selected as Sql Command from Variable, and I am getting the variable, v_Archivequery .
    But when I am generating the package and when running I am getting bewlo errror

    Can Someone guide me whr am going wrong?
    Please let me know where am going wrong?
    Thanks in advance.
    Thankx & regards, Vipin jha MCP

    What happens if you hit Preview button in OLE DB Source Editor? Also you can use the same query by selecting SQL Command option and test.
    Could you try set the Delay Validation = True at Package and re-run ?
    If set the query in variable expression (not in value), then Set Evaluate As Expression = True.

  • How to upload CSV file w/o ,, for the last line

    Hi Experts,
    As part of one interface uploading the csv file (4coulmns) manually using the TCODE: CSCA_FILE_COPY.
    After uploading when i see in the AL11 as it is csv file it is filling the , in each space.
    But my issue while running the interface (because of logic in it) checking for the hash total in the last line where (record count, hash total) only 2 items should come but because of manual upload adding the (record count, hash total, , ,) another two spaces.
    Where program not moving further becasue the it is alway comparing the amounts (1000.00 not matching with 1000.00, , ) it is not processing. In production files directly load in to unix server so no issues and i can't ask to change the program code...because iam not following the process. As part of testing i've to do manually only.
    Please suggest the workaround for this.
    Is it possible to change the contents directly in AL11 directly....then HOW ?
    or
    How to create a csv file w/o , , in the last line (may be it is not possible) ?
    Thanks for your replies in advance.
    Regards
    VVR

    I don't think you can edit from AL11, nor creating a CSV without those commas at the end because are created to state fields with empty value.
    You have 6 columns filled with values but for the last line you only fill the first four. It is expected to appear , , for the last 2 columns on the last line.
    I can only suggest keep doing it manually before uploading the CSV file... or... you are saying you can't change the program.
    How about upload all CSV files... then writing another program to get those files from AL11 and delete the spare commas at the end line?
    Cheers,
    Andres.

  • How to enable telemetry logs and where can i find the command line for sun

    Hi i tried creating the telemetry logs directory but the logs are not being populated. i created the following directory:-

    where usersns1 is the userid.
    Also pl. tell me where can i get the command list for sun one messaging server to use the command line utility to list, delete mailboxes. also can i search for all the mailboxes under one domain name. if yes then which command i have to use.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Hi i tried creating the telemetry logs directory but
    the logs are not being populated. i created the
    following directory:-
    /opt/SUNWmsgsr/data/telemetry/imap/usersns1
    where usersns1 is the userid.Make sure the permissions (ownership) on the user directory and the sub directory match those that messaging server uses - by default mailsrv:mail. This is the most common cause of the telemetry data not being created. The other thing to verify is that the user's account isn't stored as user@domain, otherwise you may need to create the directory as the entire user@domain (try both just to be sure).
    Also pl. tell me where can i get the command list
    for sun one messaging server to use the command line
    utility to list, delete mailboxes. also can i search
    for all the mailboxes under one domain name. if yes
    then which command i have to use.The Messaging Server reference guide is a good place to start (lists all the command-line utilities/flags and what-not):
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4429?l=en
    The mboxutil command is used to list/create/delete mailboxes and you can use a pattern to only list those mailboxes in a specific domain.

    Shane.
    thanks in advance.

  • I need to know the command line address for Downloads

    I had a problem with an exe file in Downloads within Firefox and was not able to delete it. I finally got things working OK but would like to know the command line address (under Vista) for Downloads in FireFox.
    I looked in 'Computer' but could not find the Downloads folder anywhere in Mozilla folders. Downloads under my 'user' was empty.
    I resolved the problem, not quite sure what I did, but would still like to know this address for the next time I have to crawl under the hood and use MS DOS commands at a Safe Command Line environment.

    I am not sure what command line you are looking for. Do you want to know where Firefox downloads files? If that is the case, in the Tools menu select Option to open the Options dialog. Select the General panel, you can specify on that part of the options dialog where to download files.
    Providing you have Firefox set up to remember download history (that is the default setting), you can open the download window (in the Tools menu select Download), then right-click on a file in the list and choose "Open Containing Folder" to be taken to where the file was downloaded.
