Cut command??

Is there a cut command in Mac???? i know there the Copy and Paste (apple+C or Apple+v))!!! i need to know how to cut????

"Cut" does not work on files or folders (I only found this out recently). The reasoning is that it's dangerous because it is essentially a "delete" command except that the data is saved to the "clipboard". When invoked on a folder or file, if something were to happen before the data was "pasted" into it's new location, the data could be lost. Just a different way of thinking I guess....

Where is "cut" command in Mac? Why I cannot cut a file/folder and paste it somewhere else?

I'm a professioinal who made the big step to pass from Windows to Mac. I do not regret it but there're things I cannot understand and i supposed being much easier or "native" in Mac.
Tipical example is the Cut command. I see it in Finder but why doesn't if work? Drag and drop do not copy but works like a ct and paste! I think if for mac this is enough Apple is gonna make it work bacause is a HUGE limit, specially for people like me who manage thousands of photos and cannot risk to drop huge amounts of files in a go or in a wrong folder of such.
Please tell me I'm wrong and there's a way to sort it out!
Thanks.

You can cut and paste items with Finder, a new feature in Lion, but it doesn't use the command-X "cut" command and is not very intuitive.
Highlight the item(s) to be moved, and type command-C to copy it. Then navigate to the destination window, and rather than pressing command-V (or Edit>Paste item) , instead press Option-command-V (or hold down option when using the Edit menu). This changes "paste" into "move item here", i.e, the item will disappear from where it was copied. The result is equivalent to a "cut and paste."

Why export audio to movie command not visible and detect cuts command is not working in 64bit mode?

Does anyone know why export to audio disappear from menu in 64bit mode?
Why detect cuts command is not working well in 64 bit mode?
I tested on several machines (brand-new iMac, brand-new MacPro with 10.8 OS, MacPro with 10.6.8),and everythig wotks in 32 bit mode. As I switch to 64 bit mode detect cuts only put one marker at the begening of film.
I also noticed that Firewire output option in 64bit mode is not avaible.
Is there a certain film format that I have to use to make it work? I tried DV PAL, but I had ther same result.
Thanks a lot.

Hi
Those functions are not available when Logic is running in 64bit mode

Cut command in TcL?

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a cut command in TcL. I'm trying to accomplish this:
# set variable
set Name [exec "show run | grep hostname | cut -d" " -f2"]
# Show Hostname
puts $Name
Router_Hostname
I can do this, but can I cross between IOS.sh & TcL.sh?
R1#terminal shell
R1#show run | grep "^hostname" | cut -d" " -f2
R1

Hi Cory,
The 1 is an index number to say which item of the list you are requesting. Lists in Tcl are zero based indexed, so in this example item 0 will be the word "hostname" and item 1 would be the actual hostname of the device.
I guess one key point that may not be totally obvious is that the square brackets are used for command substitution and everything within the brackets are treated as a single command. Also everything within and including the brackets is substituted with the result of that command. Because of this substitution, commands can be nested as seen here. The innter ommands are done first, the results are then substituted into the outter commands. So in my example the split command is executed on the Name variable the result is substituted into the lindex command. Then the lindex command is executed and the result is substituted into the set command.

Need to have cut command!

Hi.. Here i need to cut 2013.11.0,2.3.1,2.0.0,1.0 alone and need to put it in a text file using cut commands
<A4Client>rd-ec-fulfill-2013.11.0</A4Client>
<A4Client>rd-apra-pur-dom-2.3.1</A4Client>
<A4Client>rd-c3-aip-web-adm-2.0.0</A4Client>
<A4Client>rd-c3-fb-vb-fb-vb-1.0-POC</A4Client>
Here i use to get these stuff from a logfile using while loop,so i need a probably cut command which should satisfy all the scenarios

Perhaps it will be much easier to do the following:
$ cat infile.txt
<A4Client>rd-ec-fulfill-2013.11.0</A4Client>
<A4Client>rd-apra-pur-dom-2.3.1</A4Client>
<A4Client>rd-c3-aip-web-adm-2.0.0</A4Client>
<A4Client>rd-c3-fb-vb-fb-vb-1.0-POC</A4Client>
$ cat script1
#!/bin/bash
while read line; do
   line=${line#<A4Client>}
   line=${line%</A4Client>}
   line=$(echo $line | tr "-" "\n")
   for item in $line; do
      echo $item | grep '\.'
   done
done < infile.txt > outfile.txt
$ ./script1
$ cat outfile.txt
2013.11.0
2.3.1
2.0.0
1.0

Cut command options

Hi
My log file contains following entries.
How do i exclude the particular partition from the log file.
cat diskspace.log
============
/dev/vx/dsk/datadg01/sapdata1 22020096 21999698 19125 100% /oracle/ASM/sapdata1
/dev/vx/dsk/datadg01/zone02-cdinst 40960000 40375764 548549 99% /zone/zone02/cdinst
/dev/vx/dsk/datadg01/sapdata2 21504000 21494130 9257 100% /oracle/ASM/sapdata2

/dev/vx/dsk/datadg01/zone02-sapdata3 20480000 18769985 1603144 93% /zone/zone02/sapdata3
I want to exclude /dev/vx/dsk/datadg01/sapdata1 and /dev/vx/dsk/datadg01/sapdata2 .
Is any cut command option can use here by specifying the paticular patition to exclude.

The O/P may find this version a bit easier to maintain:
egrep -v -e '^/dev/vx/dsk/datadg01/sapdata1' -e '^/dev/vx/dsk/datadg01/sapdata2' diskspace.logThe trick is that multiple {font:Courier}-e{font} options allow multiple search expressions performed in a logical OR, so any lines matching either pattern get elided.
I've added single quotes around the args because the caret ({font:Courier}^{font}) is special in many shells. The square brackets are too, but I did not need them here.
Can take a similar approach using sed(1), too.

DJ130NR Manual roll paper cut command?

I have a five year old dj130nr wide format printer. Most of the time routine use makes the printer a breeze with excellent result. However, I could sometimes have used a manual paper cut (for roll feed paper).
Is there a command, either through the computer or on the control panel that will allow a manual cut?
Many thanks,
Ron

A while ago I had similar problems with custom paper sizes in Aperture with a different Epson printer.
No one had the answer, so I can only conclude that Aperture is weak in this area of printing. Hopefully Apple will address this in Aperture 2.

Where is the cut command in os x lion

Hi can someone please help me, I'm trying to cut and paste an item from one folder to another but I only get copy and paste!

This isn't available as a way of moving files because it may lead to loss of those files. Drag them instead.
(61063)

No cut (Command x) and past, or shift click?

What happened to cut and paste, and shift click?

Dunno, what happened to those things? They still work as they always have on my system. What are you expecting that is not happening?

Where did my short cut commands go in menu?

I had downloaded from the web a long time ago two shortcuts that would add two menu items when I right clicked on files. One was "add to itunes" that ran a script that would add a file to itunes and (before or after) move it to the correct folder.
The second was a "send via mail" option in the menu.
I've long lost the web-site or where I got these instructions. I just noticed today that both of these items are gone. I guess I've downloaded recent security updates from apple and the new itunes that came out recently, that's the only system changes.
Am I the only one having this issue? More importantly, is there a way I can easily find/return these things? I think I went through script editor to create both. I opened that and tried to "open recent" but didn't see anything that looked familiar for these two.
Thanks.

Start with a google search for *add to itunes contextual menu* and *send via mail contextual menu*. That should lead you to solutions.

Shell Commands not found error when running application

I opened the contents of the application and run the shell script for opening aplication there it worked very fine and application started working.. But if i open application directly through launchpad or finder it doesnt show up and console
I tried running those commands in the terminal directly there they work.. But dunno whats wrong in here. and even if try to open the application through the terminal it all opens fine.. what could be the possible problem, is it with my mac..?

i finally figured out the problem.. it is with the environmental variables. the path for all those commands like "grep" is not being set for the GUI applications. that is why i got that error.
for those GUI applications which require path, we have to set path in the file /etc/launchd.conf the environmental variables set in here are used by the gui applications and those which are launched through spotlight.
that file may bot be present in most of the macs. No problem even if not present,we can create one and use.
so type in terminal
$ sudo vi /etc/launchd.conf
and in the editor add these lines
setenv PATH = /new/path
and save. Note: replace /new/path with the path which you need to have for the commands used in the script.
remeber that you need to restart your mac for applications to use these environmental variables.

Are there short-cuts for these common tasks?

hello --
i am a professional UX/UI designer, who recently switched from Illustrator as my preferred tool to Photoshop. while i loved the ability to have multiple canvases in Illustrator, the general quality on a pixel level rendering is far superior in Photoshop. In addition, my clients generally are not able to use .ai files. so far migrating has been a good experience and i am happy with it. however, i do find myself frequently repeating a few tasks for which i wonder if there are any short-cuts, work-arounds, or i am just plain missing something. any help will be much appreciated:
generally i find that PS gets very slow when the files is somewhat large (~255MB right now). i do use many layer effects in general, so that might be the issue. but when i nudge a folder or group of items i frequently get a progress indicator. i have all teh performace settings at its ideal and allocated 70% of the 8GB i have in my machine. Still it becomes unusable, when i have upwards 10-15 screens to work with.
Is it possible to assign a gradient to a vector mask, in order to achieve partial transparency? for a layer mask, no problem, but what about vector masks? can i asign a gradient overlay effect to a mask instead of drawing it by hand?
when i do a transformation on a vector shape, the default always seems to be % instead of px, it also defaults to the center orientation point, and height & width are not linked. is there a way to either set this as a preference, or a keyboard shortcut, instead of having to click everytime?
The font smoothing always defaults to "sharp" while i prefer using "crisp" can this be set globally?
is using the position & layer style checkbox in layer comps useful to you guys who might be in the same line of work? so far i find it easier to create new folder for each state, but realize it may cause the slowness i refer to in #1
this is a big one: when i copy layer effects and shape attributes, it seems like there is no simple short-cut command for it. so i end up doing 2 copy & paste operations each time. is there a way ideally to select a shape and then copy & paste both values at the same time?
another big one: i often duplicate a layer or a folder, but then need to move it into a different folder. i fondmyself dragging it all the way around the palette, which is a big hassle. is there a way to just copy & paste a layer into the right position?
i minor nuisance: whenever i duplicate a layer, PS adds the label "copy" to that new layer. i feel it is unnecessary and in the end my file gets somewhat meaningless through it. is there a way to avoid this or have you guys found a better way in doing this?
i know this is quite a lot, but might be also helpful to others. i would greatly appreciate your thoughts & help on those.
thank you in advance,
patrick.

Not sure I fully understand what you're doing now, but here's what I do:
1. I right-click on the layer I want to copy effects from and choose Copy Layer Style.
2. Then I left click and Control-left click on all the layers I want to paste the style to, then right-click on any of them and choose Paste Layer Style.
Is that what you were talking about re doing 2 operations?
Note that if you have styles you use over again a lot, you can create a preset. You access those by double clicking a layer, then clicking on the Styles heading at the upper-left.

Command T (Transform) Not working

I just installed Photoshop CS4 on my Mac. My OS is 10.5.8.
It appears the keyboard short cut command + T for free transform is not working. Other short cuts are working, like Command S, Command Z, the regular ones. But not sure what else may not be working if anything. Any suggestions? Ive already contacted my keyboard manufacture and they said its not an issue with the keyboard itself.

Ive already contacted my keyboard manufacture and they said its not an issue with the keyboard itself.
I'm shocked. Shocked I tell ya!
Transform won't work on locked or background layers. You must also have a layer highlighted in blue (in the layers panel) for it to work. If not, you might try resetting the prefs (hold command-option-shift as you launch PS, and confirm at the prompt).

[RESOLVED] How I pass in my command-line variables disgusts me

Hello,
What I'm trying to do is to make an easily configurable script that the user can run with just a few basic command line variables (some of our users are not programmers.) Now, here's my problem, when it comes to extracting the variables from the command line, it's kind of messy. Lets say I have the following command:
$ ./hl_script.sh --config-file=config_abc.txt --rate=5000 --data-dump=/opt/dump_area -v
"-v" means verbose
Now, given the weird arrangement of the different types of command line arguments, I'd like to extract the salient parts of the information that I care about. However, at this moment, all I have is the "cut" command which can easily get into undefined behavior territory should the user misstype an input. I would love to know how you have done this and what your approach to this problem is.
This is the code that I have so far:
# this is where we run the initial test and check if the user entered the
# help flag in order to see how to properly use this application.
if [ $# -gt 1 ]; then
for argument in $@
do
if [ $argument = "--help" ]; then
echo "Here is how you would use this software and the flags that would"
echo " be useful."
echo " --help"
echo " Brings up this display and shows a listing of the options"
echo " that can be used to better utilize this app."
echo ""
echo " --config-file=N"
echo " Specify the config file that we'd like to use."
echo ""
exit 0
elif [ `cut $argument | cut -d'=' -f 1` = "--config-file" ]; then
# read-in the config file that we specified and then proceed to set a
# bunch of environment variables that we need.
echo "stuff..."
fi
done
fi
