I am filtering some output from gcc with grep. But if the output contains the accent character (`) I run into a problem.Then I have to press ctrl/c to get back to a prompt.
(1) Can someone tell me what is going on? I suspect that it is trying to match up the accent with another accent. But my output is from gcc and there is no control over the fact that it uses an accent and a single quote around a name.
(2) Can someone tell me how to do the grep so it does not give the ">" prompt but instead locates "xcvr" in my example?

I have the following command that greps "/etc/cron.allow" and displays the following 9 lines of $file grep -A 9 "/etc/cron.allow" $file On the other hand I would like to grep a file for a certain text display the next couple of lines and stop when i hit a specified word or blank or pattern.Basically I would like my grep to end when the shell hits a blank, certain key word or pattern specified in command.

I want to match some filename in some text, but the filenames I have no control of, so "[" can "]" can appear in the filenames.so do I always have to use sed to addslashes to these variables before I have to grep them? and what other characters have I missed other than "[", "]", "."?

I am trying to copy a large number of files from a Linux server to a Windows file share. Unfortunately, all of the files and folders I have to copy have 10 numbers followed by 2 colons "::" in the name (example: 1234567890::WordDoc.doc) which of course is invalid in windows naming conventions. So now I'm trying to come up with a way to change the file and folder names on the fly to replace the colons with a dash "-" or space " ". I'm even willing delete the frist 12 characters in necessary. I have tried cp, mv, tr, and several -bash scripts but get no positive results.

someone once told me that use can pass a file to grep and use that to search the contents of another file. if that is the case I'm not entirely sure why the following isn't working for me.
Code:
[root@LCENT01:~]#grep -i id_rsa.pub .ssh/authorized_keys
[root@LCENT01:~]#cat id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys
[root@LCENT01:~]#grep -i id_rsa.pub .ssh/authorized_keys

I have got certain files which somehow contain abnormal character "Del" "0x7f" or 177 which represents Del. And this is causing SVN to reject these files and abruptly end the process. I need to remove those characters from the file names but am not able to. find or grep do not search the files. This is how the file looks like with ls or find code...

Im trying to read a file in c++ and search for particular character for example if this is a list that I have:
Alice
Bob
David
[code]....
if the input is D, it should give David, if its B, gives bob. so in this case, meaning it reads the first character of every line. but if possible I want to make this dynamic so the user can specify which character position he is looking for, so in case he is looking for R as character index 3 in all lines, it should give Charlie. but the problem is, it does now recognize , besides, I do not know how to specify the character position in each line.
here is my code
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstring>
[code]....

I have a script that looks like:
Code:
cat servers.txt
trivia:P:N
trivia:D:N
tucana:P:Y
[code]....
I want to be able to find the lines that matches my input and change the N to a Y, but only for the lines that matches the name and not any other N's My problem is the line does not always contain a P as it can be a D as well so my matching did not work. If my script issues the name $1=triva the lines will change to:
Code:
trivia:P:Y
trivia:D:Y
I have the following code so far but as you can see it does not change the D's
Code:
sed -i 's/trivia:P:Y/trivia:P:N/g' servers.txt
*** UPDATE ***
should I be using a method as follows? I am still stuck on the changing all instances though.
Code:
$1=server
sed -i 's/$server1:P:Y/$server:P:N/g' server.txt
sed -i 's/$server1:D:Y/$server:D:N/g' server.txt

Let me *try* and explain what I'm trying to do, and keep in mind aside from a little command line stuff I'm a beginner to any of what I'm asking about.
I have a directory structure something like this:
Code:
/usr/local/chatlogs/
webserver1/
1.chatlog
2.chatlog
[Code]....
So that whatever was captured in the () in the first part of the statement would be used in the 1 in the back part of the statement for every n.chatlog that might be in any of the /webserver directories at that time.
