I am generating a csv file in unix by calling database view.
After generating the file,I am sending the file to business users through email.
so the problem is when they open the cvs, big numbers values are reflecting with exponential number 1.05501E+17 instead of the actual number 105501060000700000.



Is there any way to avoid this or to fix this in unix.
Thanks in Advance.

By adding "="" before the number and """ after, Excel should import as string, thus avoiding the exponential woe.



Instead of the original value of



105501060000700000


Add the extra characters, becoming as below, to import as string.



"=""105501060000700000"""

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this
