I wanted to grep the line in a file starts with -1.000000e+00.
Tried grep "-1.000000e+00" *, got error "grep: invalid option --".
Neither of the following works:
grep "-1.000000e00" *
grep "1.000000e00" *
How do I grep a negative number with scientific notation?
I need to search a text file for a string of numbers which are different lengths, and always are between number=" and " like:
number="1234567890"
number="22390"
I need to grab those numbers and pipe each one to a line in a file. I've already tried something with awk and that didn't seem to work.
How can i get bc to subtract negative numbers?

The line to be searched looks like as below. "Output Rows [1], Affected Rows [1], Applied Rows [1], Rejected Rows [0]"
Here I have to search whether the affected rows is 0. But the code below picks up other values also (lie 10, 20.. etc). How do we write to get an exact match for 0? Code: affected=`echo ${line} | cut -f6 -d" " `
affectedcount='echo ${affected} |grep 0 ` 2) Also, I need to check whether the rejected rows > 0
Code: rejected=`echo ${line} | cut -f12 -d" " `
rejectedcount='echo {rejected} |grep [1-9]`

View 4 Replies View Relatedsomeone once told me that use can pass a file to grep and use that to search the contents of another file. if that is the case I'm not entirely sure why the following isn't working for me.
Code:

Let me *try* and explain what I'm trying to do, and keep in mind aside from a little command line stuff I'm a beginner to any of what I'm asking about.
I have a directory structure something like this:
Code:
/usr/local/chatlogs/
webserver1/
1.chatlog
2.chatlog

So that whatever was captured in the () in the first part of the statement would be used in the 1 in the back part of the statement for every n.chatlog that might be in any of the /webserver directories at that time.

I'm looking for a way to insert the number of lines in a file to the start of the aformentioned file. This should be simple but as I am not used to scripts in Linux, I am finding it tough going. I can find the number of lines in a file easily enough via
filesize=$(awk 'END {print NR}' $1)
but as for inserting this into the first line, i'm failing to do so. I've tried some of the other approaches on these forums but none so far have been able to do so.
I've tried:
sed '1i$filesize' $1
but sed i requires a string, not a variable so no go I've also tried:
mv "$1" "${1}.bak" 2>/dev/null || touch "${1}.bak"
cat $filesize "${1}.bak" >"$1"
but again with no luck as cat seems to need an input stream Just to recap, i want to insert a line at the start of a given file that holds the number of lines the original file has.
ie the file:
a
b
c
d
e
should become:
5
a
b
c

I would like to write a newline delimeted rules file using PCREs for use with the grep command. Grep has the option -f to obtain the search pattern from a file, and option -P to search using PCREs. However, these two options do not work together. The -f option only seems to work with fixed string rules.A friend previously helped me get around this limitation somehow, but I can't remember how he did it. I also would like the ability to add comments at the end of each rule in the file.

I'm trying to manipulate a large text file full of records (metadata - one complete record per line). I need to delete every line on which certain words appear - there are five different words, all pretty simple all-caps strings with occasional whitespace. I tried using grep -v, which worked a treat, but only string-by-string. Ideally I'd like to run this as grep -v -f, where the file targeted by the -f contains the strings I need to match in order to delete the lines they're in.
i.e. grep -v -f filecontainingSTRINGS.txt targetfile.txt > outputfile.txt
When I try this, however, I don't get any matches - or more specifically, no changes are made in the output file. It works fine if there's only one string in filecontainingSTRINGS, but it doesn't work if there's more than one (I'm using newline as the delimiter). (Also my machine doesn't recognise /usr/xpg4/bin/grep - no idea what that's all about!)
I need to get the max number from the name of a file
Formant of the file name:
[a-zA-Z]*_[0-9][0-9]_[A-Z][A-Z].log
Delimiter as underscore '_'
[code]....
known part in the above file name will be GA.log A give directory may or may not contain files in the above format or may contain file other then the above format if so then ignore it.
Eg:-
1) Directory=/tmp/log having below listed files
ant_01_EG.log ant_02_GA.log ant_04_EG.log cvs_01_EG.log cvs_02_GA.log cvs_04_EG.log master_01_GA.log master_03_EG.log master_04_GA.log
[code]....
output=> 06
2) Directory=/tmp/log no files
cmd=> ls *[0-9][0-9]_GA.log 2> /dev/null | awk -F_ '{ print $2}' | sort -nr | head -n1 | awk 'BEGIN { if ($1 >0 ) x=0; else x=1 } END {printf "%02.0f
", $1+1}'
output=> 01
if there are no files the output should be 01 and if file(s) found the output should be next highest number+1, In the above example it is 06 My cmd is bit lenghty. reduce my cmd and it should be in one line.
I'm currently trying to design a small, simple enough shell program for area codes. I have a list of area codes in a database, and I am trying to write a program that will have a user input an area code, and then have the program print out information that immediately follows that area code in my database. I assume I need to use a find or locate command, but I'm not sure if I should be searching for a string or the number itself. The number could possibly occur at some other point in the file, though the way I have the file set up it only occurs once at the newline.
what function I should use and how I should go about it? As is I only have the absolute bare-bones beginning of having an echo for the prompt to input an area-code, and the read once it's input. Without the find I'm not sure how much farther I can get. Also, would it make it easier if I added some character such as a ! to the end of the number at the newline to make it easier to search for? With a macro that would be easy enough to do.

when I was first trying out Linux and installing Partitions, I did it right, but I used 200GB of Space, and so I decided I didn't want to use it VIA Partition and I wanted to use it VIA Wubi... and I didn't know the correct way to uninstall it... So I went to Windows Partition Manager and manually deleted the partition myself with the OS in it, but the thing is, it turned into 200GB of Unallocated space, and I couldn't give it back to my C: so it's just there... and now, a month *Present day* I want to install Mint 10 KDE and now... The big problem... I can't assign Linux Mint 10 to the unallocated space, only to the rest of the HDD... how do I assign it to the "Free" space? I tried "Specify Partitions Manually" but there was nothing that showed up. What would happen if I assigned negative 19% for Linux? Would it cause negative effects?
