General :: Cross Reference Matching Between Files?
Oct 18, 2009I'm trying to do something very basic in bash. It's a kind of cross-reference matching between 2 files. I have a file1.txt. It's like this:

Programming :: Delete Line In File Matching String?
Jan 26, 2010Quote:Originally Posted by topcatI would like to know how i can write a shell script to delete a line if a particular pattern exists?E.g. I have a text file with multiple lines. Say 1000s. in the following pattern.

username1@email.com:149.0.3.4:1
username1@email.net:149.0.3.4:1
username1@email.edu:149.0.3.4:1
If the patternusername@email.com exists then the line "username@email.com:149.0.3.4:1 should be deleted from the file.I have a very similar question but I need to delete one line in a file which matches one very precise instance of a string only. Let's assume I have a file composed of thousands of lines and let's call the file chap-secrets. Let's take the following sample entries:

General :: Copy Wildcard Files From Directories For Matching
Feb 11, 2011I have 2 massive duplicate dirs of the same format as below:
dir1
subdir1
file1
subdir2
file1
subdir3
file1
...
Dir2 is the same, but it has some newer files of the same name. I want to copy all file1's from Dir2 to the same name and folders in dir1. So basically something like:
cp -pr bkpDir1/*/*-big.gif Dir2/*/*-big.gif
This works for singular cases:
cp -pr bkpDir1/uniquesubdir/*-big.gif Dir2/uniquesubdir/*-big.gif
But not for wildcards:
cp -pr bkpDir1/subdir*/*-big.gif Dir2/subdir*/*-big.gif
Anyway the aim is to do the first cp above, I have tried a few options using find. In trying to show an example stumbled upon a way that worked, while in dir2:
find */*-big.gif | xargs -i cp -rp {} ../dir1/{}
Sure there are better ways also...

Ubuntu :: Command With The -r Option To Compare A Large Number Of Files And Files In Subdirectories
Jun 16, 2011I am using the diff command with the -r option, to compare a large number of files and files in subdirectories. My main interest is to find out which files have been changed, and not what the actual changes are, and since a lot of files has been changed, it would be a lot easier to view the file names only. Is there and option for diff that might do this, or does there exist a similar tool/command that could do the job?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Read Files In Subdirectories On Encrypted Drive
Dec 18, 2010Two machines -- both 64-bit, both the latest Truecrypt installed, one Windows, one Linux. I created encrypted pendrive (using partition mode; not file-partition on regular partition) with FAT system on it. I copied several files/directories there -- using Windows. Then I unmounted it, mounted in Linux, but when I checked if everything is OK, it appeared that only the highest level of file hierarchy is visible -- i.e. only files and directories at mount point. Directories are seen as empty (in fact they are NOT empty). When I unmount pendrive and mount it again on Windows, all files/subdirectories are visible again. It is not an issue with older version of TC on Linux, because the version is the same. The question: how to make files in subdirectories visible on Linux?
