I see it does things I thought only awk could do. Very handy for scripts.
Suppose this is something everybody else already knew ... lol
Cheers

I had no clue it existed until I got curious how Hirens Boot CD Linux Environment did it. I checked out their ".conkyrc" and started playing with it and the lights went On.

Can I save you a few characters?

Code:

sensors | awk '/Core [PUT NUMBER HERE]/ { print $1,$2,$3 }'

Good one! Just in time for Halloween.

The folks at palemoon.org have put a similar theme at the top of their page. This
is not a plug for palemoon, it is just a very well done, IMHO, Halloween theme.

For me it is like a video game.

Oh, I'm not sure if the Great Lord Cthulhu would appreciate being a Halloween decoration, but we're not gonna tell him

Thanks individual! I like lean 'n mean and that works a treat. How do I modify space between item designation (core number in this case) and output? Isn't that what "cut" does?

If you want to space it out like it is in your screenshot you'll have to manually do it. Which, judging by the screenshot, it is separated with a tab. What makes awk different from cut is awk splits words on spaces and tabs by default, where cut splits only on tabs by default. Since you were cutting on a single space, there is a tab left over in the output.

Code:

sensors | awk '/Core 0/ { print $1, $2, "\t", $3 }'

Being forced to use Windows is far worse than merely sad. MS has worked to appear to have grown up from it's predatory days but it doesn't look at all real to me. It merely looks ever more like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Recently I bought a new Z490 motherboard to build a new system. Naturally all I had to do to run Linux was transfer the hard drives over. All distributions (6 of them) just worked. However Windows 7 which I still mildly need to for one app and occasional hardware firmware settings just won't and has me yanking out my hair for days now all because MS has successfully caused USB3 and other driver implementation, to fail even most deep and difficult workarounds including altering the install media to do a "Repair Install". One can do nothing when the very first screen disables both mouse and keyboard. I don't even know if 35-50 bux for a stupid PCIe PS/2 adapter will solve the problem.

MS reminds me of a very ugly experience I once witnessed. A very sweet cat I had gave birth to a litter of kittens and once they were weaned and could eat solid food, one day I set out a plate with a can of meat cat food spread out around the plate and set it out for the kittens. They had always nursed peacefully but apparently the smell of meat triggered the Alpha who literally leaped on the plate and spread it's paws as wide as it could covering ALL the food while it gorged between growling viciously and attacking any of it's siblings who even got close. The only difference between that ugly, viciously selfish kitten is that MS would have taken a dump on the plate when it was done if not killing all of it's brethren.

If a racer in a track event during Olympics were to trip or shove down any competitor, they would be immediately disqualified and barred. Why do we allow, even applaud, such predatory and harmful practices in business? Disgusting! and counter-productive to the infancy of computing, possibly the most important and long-lasting advancement in human civilization.

My sincere apologies for the OT post but that really triggers me.
