@slhck My bad! (Normally I don't edit a post in such a scenario, but somehow did it in this case.) Thanks for reminding, though.

@Rinzwind Feel free to have your own set of rules. Right now, you're attempting to thrust those on others.

@Rinzwind I'm rather new on AU, but I'd say that your understanding of SO in general isn't quite correct.

@Oli I saw that. Thanks.

That would be a different question, IMO.

Mar 14, 2014 10:52

To add to what @Oli said, with your rep you are assumed to have a minimal understanding using which you could manipulate the arguments being passed to the program.

You should do some bit of research yourself: Look at the useless comments posted by the OP on the answer that I posted.

devnull

Mar 14, 2014 10:37

The previous comment (you would still have access to it!) was something like: "Good that the community didn't elect you as the mod. With mods like these..."

devnull

Mar 14, 2014 10:36

Oh ok, what I meant was that I wanted to post my previous comment again.

Q: How localized questions and answers are expected on this site

I just answered the following question: How to append a string on the 5th line of multiple text files? This is a link question in it's original form. It's tough to figure whether the input filenames have any sort of pattern associated or anything. The question seems to be more about inserting...

The issue is clearly mentioned in the question that I posted.

devnull

Mar 14, 2014 10:35

What did I say about mod actions?

devnull

Mar 14, 2014 10:34

You seem to have asked to visit the chat room to discuss. Discuss what?

@fossfreedom Yup, saw your note. Tell me.

At that time, he apologized and remove the comments from the other post.

devnull

Mar 14, 2014 10:54

I'm unable to find the question right now. But I recall having commented to the same OP a couple of days back when he was making rather noisy comments on some other answer.

devnull

Mar 14, 2014 10:50

Removing the comments does not answer my meta question. As a mod, you might delete it or whatever. But it's still unanswered.

Mar 14, 2014 10:47

It seemed more like the filename in your command is incorrect. Which is absurd according to me.

devnull

Mar 14, 2014 10:46

I don't think that the OP was requesting information in the comments.

devnull

Mar 14, 2014 10:44

I mean whether an integer in the argument is 4 or 5, the point of the answer was something else. The question started off on a rather vague note as far as selecting files was concerned.

Is this contructive?

devnull

Mar 14, 2014 10:42

I simply chose to move on. This site seems to beyond me.

devnull

Mar 14, 2014 10:42

I did not ask for anything. I did not ask for the comments to be cleaned up.

devnull

Mar 14, 2014 10:41

What was the main point of the question? It seemed that the question was how to manipulate a given line in a file. Useless and senseless commenting on the arguments (various files that could be passed) is beyond me.
