| ubuntujenkins | shrini: ping | 15:22 |
| shrini | ubuntujenkins: pong | 15:30 |
| shrini | :-) | 15:30 |
| ubuntujenkins | shrini: i AM GOING TO TRY AND SORT OUT YOUR index for the manual. Can you provide me with a list of all the letters in the tamil aplhabet and the order they shoudl apear in .(sorry for the caps) | 15:32 |
| shrini | sure | 15:32 |
| ubuntujenkins | Thanks, If i understand correctly there are a lot of letters. http://www.thetamillanguage.com/cvchart.html | 15:33 |
| shrini | ubuntujenkins: right | 15:33 |
| ubuntujenkins | I don't know if I will get the index working first time. I have to learn how to write the rules that make it. | 15:34 |
| shrini | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_script | 15:34 |
| shrini | Tamil compound table | 15:35 |
| shrini | is the collection of all letters in tamil | 15:35 |
| ubuntujenkins | do you have capital equivilents of letters? What order should the index be in? In english we have abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz | 15:35 |
| ubuntujenkins | I make it 216 letters in total | 15:37 |
| shrini | right | 15:38 |
| shrini | Tamil compound table | 15:40 |
| shrini | in that table | 15:40 |
| shrini | அ ஆ இ ஈ உ ஊ எ ஏ ஐ ஒ ஓ ஔ | 15:41 |
| shrini | is the first order | 15:41 |
| shrini | then | 15:41 |
| shrini | க கா கி கீ கு கூ கெ கே கை கொ கோ கௌ | 15:41 |
| shrini | 2nd row, 3rd row, 4 th row... go like this | 15:41 |
| shrini | skip the first column | 15:41 |
| shrini | Consonants ↓ | 15:41 |
| shrini | Consonants ↓ - skip this column | 15:42 |
| ubuntujenkins | ok makes sense so far | 15:42 |
| shrini | ubuntujenkins: :-) | 15:42 |
| ubuntujenkins | do the consonants ever start a word? | 15:42 |
| shrini | yes | 15:44 |
| shrini | ubuntujenkins: wait. what do you mean? example? | 15:45 |
| ubuntujenkins | does க் this ever start a word (fisrt letter in the constant column) | 15:46 |
| ubuntujenkins | if it does it needs a place in the index | 15:46 |
| shrini | ubuntujenkins: no. | 15:53 |
| shrini | க் wont start a word | 15:54 |
| ubuntujenkins | ok and I asume it is the same for every letter in the constant column | 15:54 |
| shrini | same applicable to letters in first column | 15:54 |
| ubuntujenkins | ok thanks. What are the capital letters? like A is the capital of a | 15:55 |
| shrini | no | 15:55 |
| shrini | we dont have like that | 15:55 |
| ubuntujenkins | thats ok I will have a go at making an index. Thanks for you help | 15:56 |
| shrini | ubuntujenkins: thanks a lot for your kind help | 15:57 |
| ubuntujenkins | no problem, lets see if i can write this code correctly :) | 15:59 |
| shrini | :-) | 16:02 |
| ubuntujenkins | shrini: are there any special characters in english they are ! ? . - ' | 16:07 |
| ubuntujenkins | does anything like this appear at the start of tamil words? | 16:07 |
| shrini | ubuntujenkins: no | 16:08 |
| ubuntujenkins | ok thanks | 16:08 |
| shrini | ok | 16:10 |
| ubuntujenkins | do symbols such as ! ? . - ' appear in the tamil alphabet? or other symbols that are not the letters in the chart | 16:11 |
| shrini | they are special charectors | 16:11 |
| shrini | just like english | 16:11 |
| shrini | no difference | 16:12 |
| ubuntujenkins | yey that makes that bit easy | 16:12 |
| ubuntujenkins | godbyk: ping | 16:12 |
| ubuntujenkins | shrini: what about numbers? | 16:13 |
| shrini | same | 16:13 |
| shrini | no diff | 16:13 |
| ubuntujenkins | thats good | 16:13 |
| shrini | :-) | 16:14 |
| ubuntujenkins | wow the uni internet is FAST http://www.speedtest.net/result/841891929.png | 16:50 |
| jcisio | hello | 17:38 |
| jcisio | in e1-lucid string 284 | 17:38 |
| jcisio | there is a {panes} that should be something else | 17:38 |
| jcisio | for the ease of search: Opening multiple \application{Nautilus} windows can be useful for dragging files and folders between locations. The option of \emph{tabs} is also available in \application{Nautilus}, as well as the use of {panes}. | 17:39 |
| ubuntujenkins | I will be back soon, I have written a script that sorts the list of alphabet into part of the rule so hopefully this index is getting there | 18:09 |
| shrini | wow | 18:10 |
| shrini | thnx | 18:10 |
| ubuntujenkins | godbyk: ping | 21:21 |

| dutchie | hi godbyk | 22:38 |
| dutchie | or godbyk-sagan | 22:38 |
| godbyk-sagan | Hey, dutchie | 22:45 |
| godbyk-sagan | How's it going? | 22:45 |
| dutchie | not too bad | 22:49 |
| dutchie | have wasted this evening though | 22:49 |
| dutchie | should definitely have revised for my exam on Friday | 22:49 |
| dutchie | but I managed to get through the one I had today \o/ | 22:53 |
| * ubuntujenkins does not know where to save this xindy stuff I have done | 23:00 | |
| ubuntujenkins | hence I don't know if it is correct | 23:01 |
| godbyk-sagan | dutchie: sounds like most my evenings. :) | 23:01 |
| godbyk-sagan | Whee! I just got my new netbook. | 23:02 |
| godbyk-sagan | I also got the new case for my new computer. | 23:02 |
| * godbyk-sagan blew a ton of money this weekend on computer stuff. | 23:02 | |
| dutchie | what netbook? | 23:03 |
| godbyk-sagan | this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003D1DZBY/ref=oss_product | 23:03 |
| * ubuntujenkins would like a big computer my laptop kinda dies if i try and do loads | 23:04 | |
| dutchie | i would like a laptop whose power supply has not exploded | 23:04 |
| godbyk-sagan | My laptop and computer are both 4 years old and are on their last legs. | 23:05 |
| godbyk-sagan | So I'm building a new PC (components arriving tomorrow). | 23:05 |
| godbyk-sagan | I also bought a netbook to take along with me to the TeX conference. | 23:05 |
| godbyk-sagan | We'll see what Ubuntu thinks of it. | 23:06 |
| daker | guys!! what do you think http://imagebin.org/100680 | 23:06 |
| ubuntujenkins | thats cool, can we remove the top left logo? | 23:07 |
| godbyk-sagan | what's the top-left logo, anyway? | 23:07 |
| ubuntujenkins | ubuntu review gadget thats what the bottom says | 23:08 |
| daker | https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-reviewers | 23:08 |
| daker | it's for the ubuntu reviewers | 23:08 |
| godbyk-sagan | Hmm.. it always bugs me when I see typos in the chintzy booklets they send with new electronics these days. | 23:10 |
| ubuntujenkins | how do i use echo to add something to the end of a line? | 23:14 |
| godbyk-sagan | ubuntujenkins: can you be more specific? | 23:17 |
| ubuntujenkins | godbyk-sagan: I have a list of tamil letters that are one line per letter i need to run them into a list like this "a" "b" "c" etc. They start like this | 23:18 |
| ubuntujenkins | a | 23:18 |
| ubuntujenkins | b | 23:18 |
| ubuntujenkins | c | 23:18 |
| godbyk-sagan | ubuntujenkins: oh. try "cat myfile.txt | xargs | sed 's/\s+//g' | 23:20 |
| godbyk-sagan | might have to fiddle with the sed bit. not sure what will get escaped and what won't | 23:20 |
| godbyk-sagan | ubuntujenkins: put a \ in front of the +. | 23:21 |
| godbyk-sagan | then it should work. | 23:21 |
| godbyk-sagan | cat myfile.txt | xargs | sed 's/\s\+//g' | 23:21 |
| ubuntujenkins | doesn't add the " " around the letters . but that does change it into a line | 23:22 |
| godbyk-sagan | oh, right. sorry. | 23:22 |
| ubuntujenkins | what differnce does the \ make? It looks like the letters are closer? | 23:23 |
| ubuntujenkins | no problem | 23:23 |
| ubuntujenkins | I would be stuck with out your bash skills | 23:23 |
| godbyk-sagan | cat myfile.txt | xargs | sed -e 's/^/"/' -e 's/\s\+/" "/g' -e 's/$/"/' | 23:23 |
| * dutchie blinks | 23:23 | |
| ubuntujenkins | wow sweet thanks godbyk-sagan | 23:24 |
| godbyk-sagan | Well, the s/foo/bar/ command will replace (Substitute) foo with bar. | 23:24 |
| godbyk-sagan | \s refers to 'white space' -- that is, spaces, tabs, etc. | 23:24 |
| dutchie | ngiht folks | 23:25 |
| godbyk-sagan | and the + modifier (which has to be escaped in this case \+, matches one or more spaces. | 23:25 |
| ubuntujenkins | night dutchie | 23:25 |
| godbyk-sagan | g'night, dutchie | 23:25 |
| godbyk-sagan | in the new set of expressions, the ^ char matches the beginning of a line and the $ char matches the end of a line. | 23:25 |
| ubuntujenkins | ok thanks godbyk-sagan | 23:25 |
| godbyk-sagan | so it's replacing the beginning of the line with a quote | 23:25 |
| godbyk-sagan | replaces the end of the line with a quote | 23:25 |
| godbyk-sagan | and replaces the spaces with quote-space-quote. | 23:25 |
| godbyk-sagan | there's probably simpler ways to do it, but that was the first one that popped into my head. :) | 23:26 |
| * ubuntujenkins thinks the more i look at xindy the more confused I get | 23:48 | |
| ubuntujenkins | night all | 23:51 |
| daker | good night ubuntujenkins | 23:51 |
