<html><body>Hi Peter,<br /><br /><br />Yes, it's happening in ten days' time, not three days' time as I wrongly wrote in my initial email.<br /><br />Did you see Paul's reply earlier?<br /><br />When he posted the one-liner:<br /><br />s/three days/ten days/<br /><br />he was giving command line code meaning search for the string "three days" and replace with the string "ten days".<br /><br />This shorthand is fairly common on LUG mailing lists when someone makes a howler or just a mistake.<br /><br />Posters sometimes correct themselves in this way if they notice the error first.<br /><br />The pattern is:<br /><br />s/string to search for/string to replace it with/<br /><br />Note the three forward slashes. On the command line the whole thing would be enclosed in quotes.<br /><br />See you in TEN day's time :-)<br /><br /><br />On 16/07/2012, Peter Humphreys <peter@humphreys999.free-online.co.uk> wrote:<br />> Hi Fay<br />> <br />> If you mean 26th, which I suspect you may, that isn't happening until next <br />> week!<br />> <br />> Can you confirm?
