I need to determine, for an events scheduling app, what days in the future are... As an example, someone may want to schedule an event for Sat, Jan. 30th, 2010, and every Saturday for the following 8 weeks... Got the rest of it working, just need a way to take an input field of "20100130", feed it into "perl date routine" and add to/loop thru to get my dates...
I've looked around, seems like date::manip has what I want, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get that installed... does anyone know of a way to do this with "localtime"? I have searched extensively, can't find any instances of parms fed to localtime EXCEPT when it's adding time to today, etc... I need to first establish my date, by converting it from an input field, then adding to the result... sounds pretty simple, but I am not getting anywhere...
and I'd be fine with a reference to read, if I've missed something... please forgive the clutter to this great board if I missed this somewhere....

thanks

Try POSIX::mktime() - you can use that to turn dates and times into a time_t, then add N weeks worth of seconds and turn it back using localtime().

I have to do program, that must do something like this: you enter position of sector as argument and result of this must be info of this sector and it must show if any file is part of it, if yes, which file/s? This could be solved with bash right? And i must do this for Reiserfs which is probably similar as bash-programming for ext2/3? Please can you give me few hints how to make this?

Thanks in advance

I doubt it, I'd guess that you need something kernel level to find out this sort of information. You can still look for some command to do it (here[^] or here[^]) but I doubt you'll find one.

Bash is file system agnostic. It works the same on all FSs.

Hi,

I am trying to create a perl date difference script. I would like to put the date2 from a file and put it
into an array. Then find the difference between that day and today. Here is what i got (it dont work). Please help.

#!/usr/bin/perl
# date calculator
use Date::Calc qw(Delta_Days check_date);
open (DATEFILE, "date.txt")|| die "couldn't open the file!";
@date2 = <datefile>;
close DATAFILE;
open (TODAYFILE, "today.txt") || die "couldn't open the file";
@today = <todayfile>;
print @today;
print "\n" ;
print @date2;
print "\n";
$difference = Delta_Days(@today, @date2);
print "There are $difference days before password expires\n";
close TODAYFILE;

Do you have to read in today's date from a file?
iirc if you do

$date = Date::EzDate->new();

it would be able to give you today's date

This should work
#!/usr/bin/perl
# date calculator
use Date::Calc qw(Delta_Days check_date);
open (DATEFILE, "date.txt")|| die "couldn't open the file!";
@date2=<DATEFILE>;
close DATEFILE;
open (TODAYFILE, "today.txt") || die "couldn't open the file";
@today;
@today=<TODAYFILE>;
print @today;
print "\n";
print @date2;
print "\n";
$difference = Delta_Days(@today, @date2);
print "There are $difference days before password expires\n";
close TODAYFILE;

Thanks that works great.

Here is what i came up with.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Date::Calc qw(Delta_Days);
use Time::Piece;
($sec, $min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst)=localtime(time);
open (MYDATA, "data.txt") or die ("Error: cannot open file 'ARGV[0]'\n");
my @lines1 = <MYDATA>;
# chomp @lines1;
my $t = Time::Piece->strptime("@lines1",
"%b %d,%Y");
$year1 = $year + 1900;
$mon1 = $mon + 1;
$mday1 = $mday;
$year2 = ( $t->strftime("%Y"));
$mon2 = ( $t->strftime("%m"));
$mday2 = ( $t->strftime("%d"));
$difference = Delta_Days($year1, $mon1, $mday , $year2, $mon2, $mday2);
print "There were $difference days between Nat and Bree\n";
print "email user\n" if $difference <= 15;

imap_search problem

I am using the imap_search function to return an array of unseen messages but all the messages are returned. I only want to show unread messages but the code returns all the messages (numbers) in the mailbox.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Below is the code.
$result = imap_search($imap,'UNSEEN');

foreach ($result as $value) {

echo " the unseen message number is";
echo "
";
echo $value;
echo "
";
}

Your code looks OK - could it be something strange about the server configuration?

I just tried this code to get IMAP unread numbers from our exchange server and it worked fine.

<?php
$himap = imap_open ('{some.server.ac.uk:143}INBOX', 'username', 'password');

$result = imap_search ($himap, 'UNSEEN');

if(is_array($result))
{
	foreach ($result as $value)
	{
		echo "Unseen message number $value<br/>";
	}
}
else
 	echo 'No unseen messages';
?>

I tried yours as well it returned all the messages. In case you might have an idea, what possible server configuration could be causing this.

Could there problem be because I am using pop3 driver to access the emails. I am using the code below:

$MAILSRV="mail.somewhere.com:110/pop3/notls";
$imap = imap_open ("{".$MAILSRV."}INBOX", "someemail@somewhere.com", "password");

Re: imap_search problem

I'm surprised that works at all - POP3 and IMAP are quite different.

I don't think a POP3 server keeps any information on which messages are read however, so unless you have IMAP mailboxes configured on the server you will just get a list of all messages.

Switching to Linux OS

I am seriously considering abandoning VC++ and switching to Linux based development.
Since I have an extesive and unfinished development in VC++ I would like to pick an open IDE friendly to VC++.
I have Eclipse and Code::Block on radar.
Eclipse seems to be too universal and complex for a begginer.

I also looked at Geany and it seems to be OK as editor.
It would be nice if it integrated with IDE, but I may be ahead of myself here. ( Baby steps!)

Last question - is this OK forum to ask linux distribution specific questions? I find Linux users group too much "how to work in Linux OS" and not programming oriented.

Thanks for reading, any constructive comments are as always appreciated.
Cheers Vaclav

PS I did read the IDE thread here.
