1. If I am understanding correctly, you want to find a CRLF within double quotes and then remove just the CR. This perl script does that:#!/usr/bin/perl -w# this script finds a CRLF between double quotes and only removes the CRopen FILE, "./data.txt" or die "Error message here: $!";while (<FILE>)Read more

    If I am understanding correctly, you want to find a CRLF within double quotes and then remove just the CR. This perl script does that:

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

    # this script finds a CRLF between double quotes and only removes the CR
    open FILE, “./data.txt” or die “Error message here: $!”;

    while (<FILE>) {
       chomp;
       my $newline = $_;
       $newline =~ s/"^M^L"/"^L"/g;
       print "$newline\n";
    }
    close (FILE);
    

    # be advised that in the script above ^M and ^L are actual control-M and control-L characters. To create them in vi press the control-v key combination and press control-m. Repeat the same process for control-L

    Or if you just want a perl one-liner to do the job:

    perl -wpl -e ‘s/”^M^L”/”^L”/g;’ data.txt > newdata.txt

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    It seems that the hidden partition on the hard drive which contains the factory recovery data is no longer there.

    laptop manufacturers do not supply recovery discs with the laptop. You are supposed to make your own set of discs whilst the laptop is in working order, using the backup discs creation utility in Windows, which on Acer laptops is called “eRecovery”. Obviously it’s too late to do that now.

    Some laptop manufacturers (eg Toshiba & HP) will send you a set of recovery discs for a small charge, but unfortunately Acer does not provide that service any more.

    If you still have the Windows 7 Product Key printed underneath your laptop, you can download a disc image of your Windows version from Microsoft here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft…

    With that image file you can then create a Windows 7 installation DVD and use it to install a fresh copy of Windows 7 on your laptop.

    You can use ImgBurn to create the DVD from the disc image file:
    http://filehippo.com/download_imgburn

    Boot your laptop from the DVD you’ve made and Windows Setup will start.

    When you’ve got Windows installed and running, you then need to visit Acer’s website to download and install all the Windows 7 drivers for your particular model.

    If you are unable to connect the laptop to the internet to download drivers (eg because you need the network drivers from Acer), you can download them using another computer. Copy them to a pen drive, then plug the pen drive in to your laptop and install the drivers from the pen drive.

  4. I'd suspect the screen if it is a crt type. I'd think a lcd would sync. Try to remove ac power plug from it if it is an lcd while it is in the half state and then plug back in. Try monitor settings. Borrow different monitor.Never plug in hot (energized) either. I update bios only as last resort. WhyRead more

    Try monitor settings.

    Borrow different monitor.

    Never plug in hot (energized) either.

    I update bios only as last resort.

    Why did it take me over a year to phone in a problem to ATT?

  5. I did check online for an exact replacement HDD, cheapest I could find one for was $265.00. Only had a warranty for 6 months, Purchaced this unit at the beginning of this last fall term.

    I did check online for an exact replacement HDD, cheapest I could find one for was $265.00. Only had a warranty for 6 months, Purchaced this unit at the beginning of this last fall term. So 6 months came and went. The original HDD completely died while I was attempting a rather large data transfer. Obviously thats all gone now as well. Have’nt been able to Format & partition, this F3-F100-0003 error comes up and shuts me down before I can get to that part of the installation. And finally, yes, the original HDD did have a partition that contained the System Recovery files, but none of that is required to perform a System Recovery using these disk’s. Still looking for an answer to the original question….

    F3-F100-0003… What does this error mean specificly? What causes it to show up.? Is there anyway of getting around it?

  8. There should be a model number somewhere on the webcam. Did you look for a label on the back or underneath? Did you do a search for "logitech webcam drivers"?http://support.logitech.com/en_us/a...
