I would like to find a command which automatically finds and removes phrases which appear more than once in a text file. I still want to keep one of these phrases, but I only want to see one of them.

I want to remove excess whitespace from the ends of lines in a document, but this code doesn't work:
Code:
$ cat input.txt | sed 's/[ ]*$//' > output.txt
Nor does:
Code:

What am I doing wrong and are there other ways of automatically removing excess whitespace from the ends of lines.
We have a huge amount of duplicate files in a folder and I would like some pointers on to writing a bash script to create a list of the duplicate files. I've seen examples that check for the md5 sum of files... but I dont need that, the file name is enough.

got the same thing in terms of a u: number but the issue is I need to remove duplicates and just leave one and the file has multiple duplicates of different u: numbers and it's 14,000 lines long. can anyone tell me if I can use awk? sed? or sort for something like this to? removing lines that have a certain string in there that's a duplicate.
The bad news comes that active support for Mint6 is set to end Apr. 30. The worse news is I don't know what to do about it. Complicating this is that I have about 5 drive partitions and duplicate Mint6 operating systems because of password problems and just partitioning the drive and rebooting the OS instead of trying to fix the issue. I hear good things about Mint8, but my 80 Gig drive is getting pretty thin on partitions. I know there must be a way to safely remove the partitions and duplicate operating systems. I just don't know how to do it.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhat kind of method to find the duplicates files on linux,
1.how to find just using the file name, sometimes i figure out people often to copy their files to another directory and i want to find out if there any same file name in the linux box.
2. what about if i want to find the duplicate files based on contents of the file, example is in picture file if users store picture files from digital camera first they just save the file name in default but when they want to give that picture to others they will rename it, i've been used method md5 for this situation in python script but it takes long time

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some big files of logs that contain errors printed by an app. They are most of the time relevant, however most of them are similar. So i figured i could check what happened between a time interval with a find.
Im using this one

And I get an output similar to this one.
Code:
Is there a way to condensate the output lines to get only one or two, indicating the start and last occurrence of a block? Or I need to create a program to do so?
Because right now I get thousands of similar lines, but when I'm scrolling through them i sometimes miss relevant information that i would've otherwise noted if it wasn't all that spammy.
I have a directory containing a ton of photos, some of which are duplicates but just with different names.

I know on Windows there are utilities that will do this through a GUI, but I'm using Linux through the CLI only.

View 1 Replies View Relatedwe have a variable LIBS:
LIBS='-lpq -lmysqlclient -lssl -lpthread -lresolv -lssl -lpthread -lresolv'
I'd want to get:
LIBS='-lpq -lmysqlclient -lssl -lpthread -lresolv'
Bear in mind that LIBS can be variable, I mean I need to drop any duplicate and only retain the last one of each different entry. And we must keep the order as is, I must not sort out them.
So, if LIBS is:
LIBS='-lpq -lmysqlclient -lpthread -lresolv -lpthread -lresolv'
I need: LIBS='-lpq -lmysqlclient -lpthread -lresolv'

Thanks y'all for the great script and explanation. This helped a lot in my own project. I thought I'd share the efforts.The project is this: I've got lots of duplicate JPGs from all the family members who've named the same photo with different names. Since md5sum generates a "fingerprint" based on the file contents, not the name, I want to use the md5sum of each jpg to uniquely name each photo and also remove exact duplicates.
It has the following flaws:
0) it doesn't handle certain non-alphanumerics
1) it keeps both photo-shopped and unaltered photos (different md5s)
2) it (currently) doesn't preserve descriptive filenames.
(For me, removal of duplicates is more important than keeping the filenames. I may change that to concatenate the md5 and the filename.)Please note that the commented "rename" command should be used to strip non-aphanumerics from the file names, and the script should be launched with the commented "find" command.

View 1 Replies View RelatedContained within each of these 67 text files is about 1 million urls. Yes. I have 67 text files that contain 1 million lines of urls each. I am sure I am swimming in duplicates. I tried opening one text file and clicking sort ----->remove duplicates. Now Gedit is not responding my processor is maxed out to 100% and I think I am finally ready to delve into some command line code. Can anyone give me idiot proof instructions on how to sort the duplicates out of each one of these 67 text files? How about no duplicates across all 67?

i have a big file of random numbers i generated at some point in time, after working with it with different things(how fun that was)... i want to remove duplicate lines and i'm not sure i'm doing this right
heres the command
Code:
sort random.txt | uniq -u > rand-shorter.txt
the file is pretty big, everything on a new line. i found the command on a web site so i'm sure its correct(bit of a command line in linux newbie)
can anyone confirm if this will remove lines duplicate lines (keeping one copy) and dump what is left in a file named rand-shorter.txt?
EDIT: i think its actually working, just taking a reallllly long time (on an old pen 4 from 2000)
I have just upped from lenny to squeeze. I didn't mean to, really, but the package manager was well into its stride by the time I realised what was happening. Mostly all went well, BUT /usr is now 100% full. I notice that there are duplicate files in /usr/lib, eg Oct 11 22:35 libgcj.so.10.0.0 and Sep 14 2008 libgcj.so.90.0.0 (I assume the latter has been replaced by the former?). Is it safe to remove the "outdated" lib files? Is there an elegant way of doing it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to check two folders for duplicate files (two pretty old backup instances).
MY folders are quite alike so I would like to stop the NON-duplicated files for that I want to be able to do some checks not only for the filename but alsofor the filesize (might be the case that two files have same name but not size).
The ideal would be to suggest me such a program with gui but if not I will try run any script code that is available outhere.
I have a folder that over 70,000 images (within it is a complex hierarchy of subfolders). Of these 70,000 images I assume that I only have ~10,000 unique images; the rest are copies that have been resized. I would like to somehow delete all of the resized copies of the larger originals and remove them, keeping only the original image.
Is there a way to use imagemagick (or any other application) to scan this folder recursively and determine which files may be (resized) copies?
