[9fans] acme/sam internal/external command combination?

[Axel Belinfante]

[cross-posting to sam-fans where this is more appropriate,
 although that has been silent for quite a while]

I can count the number of ``a'' characters in
``dot'' (current selection) in acme using

	Edit x/a/p

which prints all ``a'' from ``dot'' in window +Errors
and the selecting the aaaa string in +Errors and
running >wc on it.

	Edit x/a/ > wc

runs wc for each match of ``a'' which is not what
we want (we want to run wc only once, on all matched ``a'').

Is there a (more) direct way to do this, or to access the
characters printed by the ``p'' command of above ``Edit'',
e.g. something to the effect of

	(Edit x/a/p)| wc

(and if so, what would be the sam equivalent?)


I could imagine a command sequence that first
``destructs'' dot to contain the aaaaa string
and then runs >wc on that, but after that the
original contents should be restored, so that
is not a very good solution.


I think the more general question is: to what
extent is it possible (or useful) to mix internal
sam/acme commands (in particular those for
selecting/matching/looping) with external ones like wc,
or is the solution to not try to use acme/sam
commands for ``preprocessing'' (selecting),
but instead use something external,
like sed or awk, on the whole selection?

I lied, I appologise. NetUserEnum2 works fine against win2k3.

However another one for your To-do list of errata, I found
SessionEnum in the samba code but it is a priviledged call
giving "user has insufficent priviledge" if you try to
use infolevel 1. However infolevels zero and ten are available
to authenticated users, and level 10 has enough info for my needs,
the sytuctures are documented in MSDN (google is your friend).

Doesn't answer the general question very nicely but:

Edit x/[^a]/d
Edit $=

or

!>/tmp/a
Edit x/a/ |cat >>/tmp/a
!wc /tmp/a

  Edit y/a/d
  Edit $=
is slightly more direct and slightly more obscure.
