Linux command to repeat a string n times - Super User

2010-07-20 1 min read Bash Linux

I was working on something and needed to output the string n times. I have required this even to print a line with ’-’ or ’=’ but this time I badly wanted it in bash. So I searched google and found this:

printf ”Amit Agarwal%.0s” {1..5}

Mirror or download a website with a tool much better than wget

2010-05-19 1 min read Bash Fedora Linux

If you want to mirror a <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/website" title="Website" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website">website, the simplest tool I know if is <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/wget" title="Wget" rel="homepage" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/">wget. Once you have used wget, you know the troubles associated with it. You also get added couple of files as search html files, which are useless and wastage of bandwidth for you as well as the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/web_server" title="Web server" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_server">webserver.
