Linux 编程之C与脚本的混合编程（Linux programming C and scripting hybrid programming） Mixed programming of C and script in Linux programming Author: Chen Yifei source: Linux times (2007-02-08 15:31:52) People who write programs and manage network on Linux have more or less scripts. Scripting languages, flexible variable types, powerful regular expression processing capabilities, coupled with the Linux system itself pipeline, redirection, and a rich command line tool, allows you to programming with ease. While the C language has all the advantages, it can not be denied that it is more convenient to use scripting language in many situations, for example, we will illustrate the handling of configuration files. Lets look at the tasks of our sample program first: Lets say we have a program written in C, which has a configuration file user.conf that saves some user information, and user.conf defines as follows: 1), to comment at the beginning of the #, do not handle 2) allow blank lines 3) if not 1 and 2, then valid data, the format is as follows # user.conf: configure file for user Username age sex country # Tom 20, male, US Chen 22, female, cn Each column is divided into 4 fields, separated by one or more blank characters (spaces or tabs), followed by names, age, gender, and country Our c program to complete the user.conf to add, delete, edit, query Such a simple task is not too complicated to handle with C, but it also takes a lot of effort. But if you use scripting language to do it, it is very simple. Can you call scripts in C to complete the task? Awk is a scripting language on Linux, and its strong point is to handle files with certain formatting rules, such as our user.conf. There are many data on awk, oreilly company specialized awk programming books, online can also be downloaded. You can also look directly at man awk. Lets first see how shell can be combined with awk to accomplish the tasks described above: 1) add a record For example, to add a record such as Jack 18 male U
