Filtering Scripts
When you turn in a real programming assignment, you will be sending me
the
source code, plus a script similar to the one you just made. The script
will
be a record that will show me that you did the right kind of testing of
your
program.
Please run your script through a filter before you send it to me.
It's a way to get rid of most of the weird characters, so the script
will be
more readable. It is easy to do, no matter how big the script is.
Here's how: Enter "cat p1.script | col -b
>
temp". This command pipes the script file to the input
of the
command "col -b > temp", which filters out some of the
weird
characters and writes the output to a file named temp. Now the temp
file is
the filtered version of the script. Enter "mv
temp p1.script" to replace the script file with the new
filtered version. Now enter "jove p1.script" again. See how
the
file has been cleaned up? Good. Exit JOVE again by doing a C-x C-c
command.
