Program Plan Intro

Character by character text processing:

  • Strings can be accessed or manipulated by using an individual text that is present.
  • Different programming language access the string individually in a different way, some prefer the string gets accessed through subscript notation.
  • String is considered as list of characters.

Accessing string using subscript notation:

  • The string that are accessed using the subscript notation uses subscript “0” to hold the first character and similarly till the last character.
  • The last character of the string will be “\0”.
  • The first value the index value will be “0” and to find the last character use “length(variable)-1”

Example:

//declare and define a string

Declare String txt = "Hai"

Explanation:

In the above declaration, the given string  gets processed in the following way:

txt[0] will hold “H”.

txt[1] will hold “a”.

txt[2] will hold “i”.

Changing the occurrence of the string value that is declared:

  • Every value in the string gets accessed individually using the index or subscript value.
  •  In order to change the character located at a particular position, the index value can be used and it is made as shown below:

Example:

//set the value located at the position 0 as defined

Set txt[0]= “T”

Explanation:

The above line mentioned is used to replace or overwrite the content that is present at the first position.

The word “H” will be replaced with the word “T” for the string “txt” that is declared.

Whentheuserenters!!,themostrecentcommandinthehistoryisexecuted.In the example above, if the user entered the command: Osh> !! The ‘ls -l’ command should be executed and echoed on user’s screen. The command should also be placed in the history buffer as the next command. Whentheuserentersasingle!followedbyanintegerN,theNthcommandin the history is executed. In the example above, if the user entered the command: Osh> ! 3 The ‘ps’ command should be executed and echoed on the user’s screen. The command should also be placed in the history buffer as the next command. Error handling: The program should also manage basic error handling. For example, if there are no commands in the history, entering !! should result in a message “No commands in history.” Also, if there is no command corresponding to the number entered with the single !, the program should output "No such command in history."

2. UNIX Shell and History Feature [20 points] This question consists of designing a C program to serve as a shell interface that accepts user commands and then executes each command in a separate process. A shell interface gives the user a prompt, after which the next command is entered. The example below illustrates the prompt osh> and the user's next command: cat prog.c. The UNIX/Linux cat command displays the contents of the file prog.c on the terminal using the UNIX/Linux cat command and your program needs to do the same. osh> cat prog.c The above can be achieved by running your shell interface as a parent process. Every time a command is entered, you create a child process by using fork(), which then executes the user's command using one of the system calls in the exec() family (as described in Chapter 3). A C program that provides the general operations of a command-line shell can be seen below. #include #include #define MAX LINE 80 /* The maximum length command */ { int…
