View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat I am trying to do is edit the link target to force ip=xxxx.xxx.xxx string at end. I have a software program which access 4 different servers running the software but with different configs. In xp I can copy links and modify as above to correctly force the program to the various servers.
I have read the various how tos on hard vs sym links which I get. Playing around with hardlinks and sysmlinks (the examples I find) does not seem to be what I need. Feel like this is pretty basic stuff but I am a bit stumped.
I am trying to edit a C++ source file, but gedit wont allow me to save changes to it. Gedit says:
Code:
A file with the same name already exists. Please use a different name.
Right. Of course the file exists, I am trying to edit an existing file.
About the same happens with kate... Kate opens the file in read-only mode.
However, if I edit the same file with nano, editing and saving works. So the problem shouldn't be with access rights. Also "ls" shows rw rights to the file.
What could be the problem? I can use nano, but I would need the syntax highlightind, and other features of a better editor.
And whether I use sudo or not has no effect. The same happens with or without sudo, and I am the owner of the file.
PS. luckily I am still dual booting with Hardy. I can always go back.
Oh and this is a new installation of ubuntu 10.04
What linux software is available that allows you to edit a PDF file?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI need to change one word in over a thousand pages of HTML. I think sed is the only way to do this, but I've never used sed before.
After reading the documentation, I see that it is pretty easy to alter files to standard output, in other words, the screen.
But I don't want to do just alter text to the screen, I want to alter the original file, else I am not doing any Stream EDiting as near as I can tell.
None of the documentation explains how to take a file, apply sed to alter that file. How do you do this?
Code:
[myuser@myhost dir]#sed s/changethis/tothis/ /mydir/myfile
How do I apply sed to actually make the changes to myfile?
