Hello,
I had a weird idea to get serial numbers for a contest: Make xlog to write
after every qso, and then just add the line number to 599000. Using bash,
it would look like this:
$ echo "599000 +" `cat /home/daniel/.xlog/test.xlog | wc -l` | bc
or, if you prefer $() notation:
$ echo "599000 +" $(cat /home/daniel/.xlog/test.xlog | wc -l) | bc
However, if I use this as macro in gmfsk
$( $( echo "599000 +" $(cat /home/daniel/.xlog/test.xlog | wc -l) | bc ))
... I fail to get a 599003 or whatever, but some error messages about
"failed to execute child process".
I agree that the whole idea is crude and not worth following up, there are
certainly elegant ways for directly getting a QSO number from xlog.
