General :: Extracting Information From Multiple Text Documents?
Jul 7, 2010
I am an astronomy student using Ubunut 10.04, and a frequent user of IRAF ( an *nix image processing application geared toward astronomy). IRAF produces, amongst other things, a text document with various values on it (example below).
Code: K IRAF = NOAO/IRAFV2.14.1 version %-23s
#K USER = name %-23s
#K HOST = Balthazar computer %-23s
#K DATE = 2010-04-29 yyyy-mm-dd %-23s
[Code]...
Now, the information I'm actually interested is the X and Y coordinates down towards the bottom (in this case, 973.505, 271.474).
I have about 800 of these output text files, and I was wondering if there's any sort of script or command that could go through them (presumably reading from a list of file names), and extract the coordinates. Ideally, the output would be a list of coordinates (i.e. X-coordinate, Y-coordinate).

There are some log files that I wish to get some information from (Apache Access Log) but it is huge! All I need as of right now is any information from date and time A to date and time B. What commands can I use to extract this information from the access_log and put it into another file with just that information? I created a file called "access_info" by doing
Code:
touch access_info
but I was not sure where to go from there.

I have a load of emails in my Thunderbird trash folder and some of them (all with a similar subject) I want to extract the email address for them and put in a text file. I have located the trash file but it seems that it is just a big flat file with a concatenation of all my emails in it, varying number of header lines etc etc - ie, something which really doesn't seem to suit awk, sed, grep etc.Does anyone know of any way this might be accomplished, or any third party tools which may help?

I have PDF files that I would like to be able to search the text of. I tried the GNOME Search for Files program (Places->Search for Files...) but it didn't find the PDF files that contained the text. What do you use to search for text in PDF files?

how RAR archives work. Suppose I have a .rar archive of text documents (for the sake of argument, containing personal information). I am able to run 'shred *.rar' in that directory from the terminal. What happens here? My assumption is that the contents of the .rar file (pointers to the text documents on the disk?) are 'shredded' (overwritten n times), but the text documents themselves are still on the disk intact.

but not all, of my text documents show their contents as their icons, instead of using my theme's designated icons for text files. For example, in the above image, the bottom-right file contains: "hello ubuntu forums / this is my problem / how can we fix it? / thank you" and it's icon displays some of this message so that it may be read without opening the file As you can see, the problem occurs with some filetypes, like .txt and .html, but not with others, like .doc or .rtf. How can I force all text files to use my theme's designated icons?

I'm trying to search all .log files in ~/.irssi/irclogs/ and it's sub directories for the string 'irssi' and I had though the command I'd used for something similar before was.How should I edit the command, and is it possible to output every line found containing the string to file?

My needs require the ability to scan multiple documents each day. Ever since 10.04 my HP J4580 All-in-One scanner operation has progressively become worse. With 10.10 it completely quit working. As is so often the case, the HP J4580 All-in-One works flawlessly in Windows so I know it is strictly a Ubuntu related problem. Do a search of my threads and you will see that I have receive very little help with this issue. that is another problem I have been having.I have reverted back to 9.10 and all my scanning issues are resolved. I have followed several threads offering solutions with no success. I know the issue is with the removal of xsane from Ubuntu. Versions after xsane 0.996 is when the problem surfaced.On my system (desktop) I have been greatly disappointed with the last 2 releases. Firefox has even started having random crashes in 10.10. I tire of spending so much time trying to correct these issues.I will not quit using Ubuntu but I will not be using the latest two releases for a while. 9.10 worked great and I will keep it until support ends. You get what you pay for so I will not blast Canonical or the software developers. I would hope that prior working hardware would not lose functionality with the release of a new OS version.

I want to do search and replace in multiple files. I've seen that it possible to create a sed script but I haven't got the talent to do it myselfWhatd is to locate all instances of a word - lets say 'day' - and replace it with for example 'night' in all odm-documents in a specific folder. It would be great if the search only matched whole words and was case sensitive.

Long story short, I got a folder with nearly 800,000 php files. I would like to search each file for a string and if it exists in that file, the file gets copied to another directory. Is this possible from the terminal? So far I got: grep -i -n -r 'ppr-1792' * | cp $1 move_to_here
But this obviously doesn't work. $1 needs to be the file name that contains matching text.

I print something with cups-pdf. The pdf appears, it LOOKS as it should, BUT if i actually select text from the pdf viewer and try to paste it somewhere, i get messed up characters (sometimes no characters). So this means that searching too is out of the question i guess.
Why is this happening? I dont know if its a ghostscript issue because on Windows there are several gs based pdf printers and those create perfectly searchable pdfs. Is this a cups/cups-pdf specific issue?
PS Printing through the "Print to file" dialog creates good pdfs but i dont know how to replicate that via command line.

How can I change the mountpoint of my partition /media/documents to /documents.This is a partition of sdb and a fixed disk.The reason is that /media/ sometimes creates ghostdirectories while /Windows/C never does so, programmes writing/reading from this partition therfore don't work if a ghostdir_ exists.(BTW Suse is on sdb5 and sdb6. on sda is windows and used to be Ubuntu, the Suse-swap is sda5. Windows is out of use.)

I can access my windows my documentsmusic by mounting my windows drive and browsing to it. I can then playwatch my movies and pics in Ubuntu.But what I really want to be able to do is re-map the Ubunbu docs folder like so:
Ubuntu Pics = Windows My Documents pics.
Ubuntu Videos = Windows My Documents Videos.
I'm not very unix savy so I've been using Ubuntu tweak PersonalDefault Folder Locations setting and browsing to my Windows folders. But it doesn't work.I have managed to make a desktop 'short cut' and that works but I'd rather set the system wide default document folders.

How would you make NIS user information override local user information on client systems? This is what I think is right? Add nis on the passwd registration file on the second line Is this correct?

how would i highlight multiple selections in a graphical text editor such as gedit, kwrite, kate, leafpad, etc. is it possible? for example; if i wanted to redact a document by removing several different words throughout the document.
i could probably learn vim or nano and regular expressions without too much trouble if those would work better.

I want to edit a text file and have it open twice so I can edit different sections without scrolling back and forth. I can do this in Kwrite and Kate but have to have two windows open. Is there a way to do this but with tabs?
