Programming :: Sed To Change Character In Text File Only Once?
Sep 7, 2009I 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

Red Hat / Fedora :: Change File Names To Remove Invalid Character
Apr 1, 2009I 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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: How To Change Character Set
Oct 10, 2010My distribution is CentOS 5.5, I installed Oracle 11g and create an instance setting its character set as AL32UTF8. The problem is the message from oracle cannot be shown correctly,
Like this:
ORA-00942: ?
I guess that maybe the characterset of my CentOS differs from what oracle uses.
So i turned to /etc/sysconfig/i18n and found:
LANG="zh_CN.UTF-8"
So i changed contents of i18n to:
LANG="zh_CN.AL32UTF8"
But still cannot solve the problem. Maybe my linux don't know what AL32UTF8 is?
Fedora :: Change XFCE4 Character Encoding?
Jun 28, 2009I am experiencing some difficulties accessing some of my drives which have folders/files whose names include special characters. That problem has appeared just now, in Fedora 11, and just in XFCE4 (it somehow got stuck with the English default). In neither GNOME nor KDE happens.
The problem is not narrowed down to Thunar because even the terminal fails to recognize the special characters in XFCE4.
I guess that is simply solved by editing some configuration file, but I can't seem to find it.
What do I need to do to allow XFCE4 recognize special characters?
EDIT: It's definitely XFCE4, because if I open Thunar or xterm from GNOME, they recognize special-characters-filenames very well.
Fedora :: Change Character Encoding In Either 12 Or PCBSD?
Feb 10, 2010I have two machines in a local network and want to share files among them. Since I don't want to bother configuring NFS right now I am using ssh and scp to transfer files among them. There is a little problem though: the machines have different *nixes. One machine has Fedora 12 (Spanish) and the other one has PCBSD 7.1.1 (English).The problem is that both machines have different character encoding and while the Fedora machine can perfectly handle names with special characters, the BSD machine can't and in fact upon doing ssh to the Fedora machine filenames (with special characters) appear wrong and prove difficult to work with.

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Cannot Change File Permissions On A Mounted File System
Apr 6, 2010I have an ntfs partition that I wish to access as a normal user(non-root). For this I did the following. As root I created a folder /windows and did a chmod 777 -R on /windows. Then I added the following line to /etc/fstab
Code:
/dev/sda3 /windows ntfs-3g defaults,nosuid,nodev,umask=000 1 0
Now, the partition is mounted alright but the problem is that when any other user (non-root) creates a files in /windows (say by executing touch newfile) the newly created file has the owner and group set as root. The non-root user can create the file and he can also delete the file, however, he cannot change the permissions of the file and also the owner:group is always set as root:root. How do I get across this problem, i.e. how do I mount a partition, so that a non-root user can also change the permissions and ownerships of the files he creates.

Ubuntu :: Frozen Panel - Messing Around With The Alternate Character Panel App And Made A Custom Character Set
Jun 12, 2011I was messing around with the alternate character panel app and made a custom character set. I then wanted to put it on a new panel and created a new panel. I moved the character set to that panel, and then started to mess around with the panel settings (auto hide, show hide buttons, and expand, to be specific.) So far so good, until I moved the panel from the right side of the screen to the top. I already had a panel here, and it seemed not to like hiding a panel when there was already one on the top.
When the new panel hid itself, all my panels stopped responding (any clicks on them did nothing) and my processor started going at 100%. I tried a reboot and the only thing that changed is that now I can't even see my panels. I'm guessing I need to change the settings back manually through the prompt, but I don't know how to do that. I am using 10.04 and have not upgraded gnome since upgrading to 10.04.
