Shell Scripting

Hmmm.. Ok u mean to say that first store all IP's in a different file and then parse the file again and count the number of times each IP appears in it ??

else

`${"$0"#"./"}`

if [ ! -r $FILE ]; then

echo "$FILE : cannot read"

exit 2

fi

exec 3<&0

exec 0<$FILE

while read line

do

getlist $line

done

exec 0<&3

exit 0

If u just run this script it basically prints its source code. Thats the purpose . Hey Karan is this what u wanted.

as nuke rightly pointed out.... these programs are quite infamous.... and are usually 1 liners :)

ok someone point out the obvious to me... does this qualify:

Code: 
#!/bin/sh

cat $0

:p

btw, both the above programs fall under cheat category.... its a smart answer, but not a acceptable answer to be a quine. you must not read the code and print it out... rather use commands in such a way and the output resembles the source 100% :)
 
To Josh's answer, u r rt buddy. Thats what i meant. And Karan, yeah i also was reading on quines quite a bit and this shell script falls under cheating.

Will find a solution without a cheat.
 
^^ But this wont work for me. Anyways thanks for that. ;)

I wrote a perl script for that but the file i store the IP's in is getting big and opening and closing file happens too many times. Will use MySQL.

Ahah... nice thread Nishant!

Ok, let me put forth a simple challenge.

Write a program which prints itself. Meaning the output should exactly be the mirror of the source code. So that if i did this.....

(assuming your file is called challenge.sh)

if [ `cat challenge.sh` = `./challenge.sh` ]; then
echo "Passed !"
fi

Any takers?

haven't tried with scripts.
But this c++ code should work ;-) in windows...

Code: 
#include <iostream.h>
#include "stdio.h"
#include "stdlib.h"

void main()
{
	system("type test.cpp");

}

Good thread mate! :hap2:
 
hey buddy . I suck for asking u the above question. But buddy the code snippet you have provide falls under the cheat category. Bcoz basically what u r doing is just types out the file contents.

See the right way to do it, is by accessing the stack in runtime to get this thing done.

I will try to get the correct quine in C on linux...
 
I didn't know it falls under the cheat category. :-(

Anyways, i am not good with stack and stuff.. let me know when you get the code done man :)
 
Ok ppl... Wikipedia produced this when I was looking for a quine in C...

But I wonder whether its really a Quine or not.... Ne1 to explain???
