eof

I am trying to do an action in a IF ELSE statement in Bash, but receive an error like this one: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "fi") Now I am quite new to this, so probably the solution to my problem should not be that difficult :) if [ "$DAYNAME" = 'Sunday' ]; then echo 'The backup will be uploaded' ftp -n $HOST <<EOF quote USER $USER quote PASS $PASSWD put $filetoday delete ${filethreeweeksago} quit EOF fi Of course the vars are already filled. I think it has to do with the EOF notation, because when i remove them, the problem disapears. Unfortunatly I don't know how to use

How to pipe input from a file as stdin to an erlang program running in the shell as well as standalone? I have a file hr.erl and I compile it from the shell. There is a function in it which accepts input from stdin using io:fread() . I have written a case expression with guards where if it matches {ok, [0]} it should terminate. Instead of 0 , I actually need it to be eof . How to send eof when running in a shell? I have a file inp.txt with values 1 2 3 and 0 on each line. How can I pass it using the < pipe operator? Is there anything like erl -hr <inp.txt ? Can I pipe it to stdin within the

From The C Programming Language : int c; while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) putchar(c); "... The solution is that getchar returns a distinctive value when there is no more input, a value that cannot be confused with any real character. This value is called EOF , for "end of file." We must declare c to be a type big enough to hold any value that getchar returns. We can't use char since c must be big enough to hold EOF in addition to any possible char ." I checked in stdio.h and printed the value of EOF on my system, and it's set to -1 . On my system, chars are signed, although I understand that

It is common to read until end of file, but I am interested in how could I read data (a series of numbers) from a text file until the end of a line ? I got the task to read several series of numbers from a file, which are positioned in new lines. Here is an example of input: 1 2 53 7 27 8 67 5 2 1 56 9 100 2 3 13 101 78 First series: 1 2 53 7 27 8 Second one: 67 5 2 Third one: 1 56 9 100 2 3 13 101 78 I have to read them separately from file, but each one till the end of line. I have this code: #include <stdio.h> FILE *fp; const char EOL = '\\0'; void main() { fp = fopen("26.txt", "r"); char
