find - How to add header to huge amount of files (empty/non-empty) -


i need add header (single line) huge (>10k) number of text files. let assume variable $header contain appropriate header. command

find -type f -name 'tdgen_2012_??_??_????.csv' | xargs sed -i "1s/^/$header\n/"

does work well. problem face of data files (tdgen_2012_????????.csv) empty. sed(1) cannot address non exist line of file. decided manage empty files in separate way:

echo $header | tee $(find -type f -name 'tdgen_2012_??_??_????.csv' -empty) > /dev/null

due amount of empty files command above not work. tee(1) cannot write unlimited count of files. number of command line arguments can exceeded.

i not want use for-cycle due low performance (the tee(1) can write many files @ once).

my questions:

  1. does exist 1 solution both kind of data files (empty/non-empty) @ once?
  2. if not: how manage empty files effectively?

echo $header > header find -type f -name 'tdgen_2012_??_??_????.csv' \     -exec sh -c '{ echo $header; cat {}; } > tmp && mv tmp {}' \; -print

explanation:

1. -exec sh -c "..." - able call more 1 command

2. { echo $header; cat {}; } > tmp && mv tmp {} - concatenate $header , found file tmp , rename tmp found file. because can't cat header {} > {}

3. -print - show filename of every changed file

keyboard - C++ GetAsyncKeyState alternative -

i using windows.h library's getasynckeystate function define key pushed on keyboard . here program returns int value of pushed key example. #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> using namespace std; int main (){ char i; for(i=8;i<190;i++){ if(getasynckeystate(i)== -32767){ cout<<int (i)<<endl; } } return 0; } but trying make opengl simple game , function appeared slow . there function not need cycle 180 times , if statement . thanks you're trying make opengl game, you're going use glfw. if that's case can away using glfwgetkey() such: if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_up) == glfw_press) {...} if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_down) == glfw_press) {...} that method nicely explained in tutorial 6 opengl-tutorial.org . should start first tutorial of beginners tutorials , later intermediate tutorials . if you're going make win32 window can listen wm_keydown or wm_keyup messages , virtua...
