Two files contain:
file1:
cat
dog
fish
hamster
file2:
cat
fish
ferret
dog
How do you change the case of the letters in file1.txt to uppercase and compare with file2 all in one command?
I tried to add my wife , and when I put in a password for her, this error comes up."Please set a valid user name consisting of a lower case letter followed by lower case letters and numbers." I did all that and I still can't set a password for her.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am fairly new to Linux and was needing some help on a comparing more than 2 files. I am try to come up with something that would compare at least 10+ different files to a master file and give me an output of what is missing.
Example would be: a.txt, b.txt, c.txt, d.txt compare each of them to the master.txt file, than output the missing text for each file into new file.
I came across comm and diff commands, am I looking in the right place or is there a much easier way of doing this?
I have a file1:
Code:
$ cat PF(1).out
Tmp39 PF10271.3 423 ENSP00000326063 488 1.2e-201 41-478
Tmp39 PF10271.3 423 ENSP00000338165 492 1.9e-200 46-479

Is there a way, besides writing a PERL program, to read each line one by one in file A and tell if this line also exists in file B? Can this be done via a shell script?

I want to compare two files and display values unique to file1. I tried using comm but it did not give me useful outputs.
comm -2 -3 file1 file2 does not work
Similar threads provide matched content. What I am looking for is unique content.
Iam having the following two linux files.

Now i want the following out puts
1. similar nos in both the file 1 and file 2 > output= File 3;
2. In file 1, but not in file 2 > out put= file 4;
3. In file 2, but not in file 1 > output = file 5;
The command sdiff is giving output with symbols > < | etc, and the such output file is not clear and ready to print. I want to print directly the output files. AND ALSO TELL ME WHERE I HAVE TO WRITE AWK PROGRAMS AND HOW TO RUN IT.
I'm trying to use Sed to change all "l" letters with "I" in capitalized words something like this:
1. ONlON -> ONION
- and as opposite change the all "I" with "l" in a word in small letters such as:
2. DiIbert -> Dilbert
For the first case I'm using the below sentence which unfortunately changes words such as "let" in "It"
Code:
sed 's/[:upper:]*l[:upper:]*/I/g' test.srt
For the second case the below command seems to work but it might have a side effect as the one used in the first case:
Code:
sed 's/[:lower:]*I[:lower:]*/l/g' test.srt
Im trying to compare two files and I only want to display the user names that are in the first file and not the second.
So I have one file named final.txt (which contains every user name and only the user names in a list no other information)
Then I have another file Over1.txt (which only contains certain users that have different permissions This file is also setup differently with the user name and some information about the user after the user name.
I need a way to compare final.txt to over1.txt so that I will only display the names that are in final.txt but not Over1.txt
Ive tried using diff and comm but just cant seem to get it two work correctly. Im not sure if im missing a option or what.
Is there any inbuilt functionality in Unix shell script so that i can able to convert lower case string input to an upper case? I dont want to use high level languages like java,python or perl for doing the job.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two files
Code:
we have to consider here $5 , $6 , $7 for our search
file2.txt
Code:
Here we should take only $2 for comparison. As you can most of the $2 field records has value and some do not have value.
Question:I want to take the fields $5 , $6 , $7 from file 1 and compare it with $2 field from file 2. and the rsult should be like this:
Code:
The final output will look like this
Actual file1.txt (before running the code)
Code:
FIle1.txt after running the above said condition
Code:
So the field $5 , $6 , $7 should get replaced from the matched valued of $1(file1)
What's the command for comparing files? I think I've used it before, but can't remember it.

I'm working on changing some badly named files, lots of them. I have a little script I use to change uppercase to lowercase:
[Code]....
Bear in mind all these files have appropriate numbers in the front of each filename. I need help to change ONLY the first letter after each underscore to an uppercase letter. I'm sure this can be done but I've done so much searching in forums and with Google/linux until I'm scrambled.

I've got an interesting challenge for the shell scripting wizards here. I've got a mySQL dump of three files for my amarok database with the intention of copying some files to my media server (cover art) so that I can keep the server the server and not rely on my local machine.
Step 1: Identify any cover art files on my local machine.
I did this with:
Code:
mysql -u amarok -p amarok -e "SELECT * FROM images WHERE path like '%.kde%'" > cover_art.txt
Output looks like this:
[Code]....
What I have here now is the ENTIRE album list in my collection -- and something to compare the IDs in Step 1 against. I'm going to stop here and will update the thread as I get past this stumbling block. "ID" in cover_art.txt = "image" in albums.txt... straightforward enough, right?
So the question is this: how do I create a simple shell script that will loop through the IDs in cover_art.txt (i.e. characters 0 -> 4 -- it will always be a 4 digit ID) and then search for that ID in the Albums.txt file.

Recently I faced a problem in typing in English in OpenSuse 11.3.When I try to type in English it shows me Greek letter and worse than that I think it is really Greek (not only in font) because when I enter my passwords or try to type a command in terminal I get error,I tested with UK and USA and all other English languages and I still have this problem. I even do reset in my keyboard layout setting and in KDE setting but it didn't help.

When I try to rename a file in a mounted NTFS file system by only changing the letter case, I receive an error message saying that it is not possible because the file already exists. This must be because ntfs is not case sensitive as regards determining a file name. However, it can use and remember whatever case you want to use. So I can change the letter case in the file's name in two steps: saving the file with a different name first and then renaming it again with the original name and the letter cases I want to use.

I do 'mkisofs -iso-level 1 -o image John Smith.txt'. Only an example. When I mount image, ls outputs john_smi.txt. So it has shorten to 8.3 and translated ' ' into '_'. This is in accordance with the manual, although it doesn't say the conversion will be done.

With all iso9660 levels from 1..3, all filenames are restricted to upper case letters, numbers and the underscore (_).

However, as it did not reject the file name, it should have converted it to all upper case, it seems to me. And -iso-level 2|3 does the same thing.

So I've been trying to find a program to edit grub ,so that I'll be able to add a picture behind the letters add new lines,and change the name of the menus. I know in Backtrack that I used a program,I don't really remember which one it was,I think KGrubEditor,but that is a KDE app,and I cannot find a place where I could download it anyway. Do you guys know any alternative,or any way I could do this? I know how to edit grub.cfg,but I want some features besides that.
