Current Page: NeXtMidas Training Working with Files Lab 2 Instructions
| Lab 2: For this lab you will be asked to access different types of files using several different methods. What you need to do: Dump the lines in the source code for the `STATUS` command (`$NMROOT/nxm/sys/intr/Status.java`) using the package syntax. Form the path for `apenny.prm` in `AREA=DAT`, `OPT=SYS` in a platform independent way. Then use the `if` command to check for its existence from the shell. Can you list the files in original: `http://nextmidas.com/nm/nxm/sys/dat/` (currently unavailable) alternate: `file:///opt/midas/nxmlatest/nxm/sys/dat/` (where /opt/midas/nxmlatest is a softlink to your local nxm installation) Why or why not? Can you `STATUS` the file original: `http://nextmidas.com/nm/nxm/sys/dat/apenny.prm` (currently unavailable) alternate: `file:///opt/midas/nxmlatest/nxm/sys/dat/apenny.prm` (where /opt/midas/nxmlatest is a softlink to your local nxm installation) Why or why not? Use the `NOOP` command to copy the first half of the elements from original: `http://nextmidas.com/nm/nxm/sys/dat/apenny.prm` alternate: `file:///opt/midas/nxmlatest/nxm/sys/dat/apenny.prm` (where /opt/midas/nxmlatest is a softlink to your local nxm installation) to a file `halfpenny.prm` in your WRITE aux.
