I use the following command to find under /var some param in my script
grep -R "param" /var/* 2>/dev/null |grep -wq "param"
my problem is that: after grep find the param in file grep continue to search until all searches under /var/* will completed
How to perform stop immediately after grep match the param word
For example when I run the: grep -R "param" /var/* 2>/dev/null |grep -wq "param"
grep find the param after one second.
But grep continue to Search other same param on other files and its take almost 30 seconds
How to stop the grep immediately after param match?
may be an advanced question but I need to know how to do this. Here at work I am in charge of recruiting and we have about 1,000 resumes in already. All of the resumes are in a .pdf format. I need to rename every .pdf in the following format:{firstnameLastname}.pdfThe only way I know how to do this is to convert all the .pdf files to text, extract the name out of the first few lines of text, import into excel, and then use VBA to rename the files in mass:Here is my logic so far:~Deskop/a = houses all the .pdfresumesOpen terminal: Code: cd ~/Desktop/afor f in *.pdf; do pdftotext -raw $f; done That will convert all of the preceding resumes into text filesNow I would like to append the name of the text file into the last line of the text file. So, for example, for Resume1.txt, I want to append "Resume1.txt" to the last line within Resume1.txt. So after I run the command I open Resume1.txt and on the last line within I want to see "Resume1.txt" on the last line, at the end of the resume.How can I do this? I would like to use a loop and have the terminal append the filename to the body of the text file until all of the have been appended.

I multi-boot several Linux distributions with an assortment of additional data partitions. I get frustrated whenever fsck is forced during boot. (It ONLY happens when I'm in a hurry don't you know...) So I wrote a script to automate forced fscking when I do have the time. (And/or while I'm doing something else in another workspace.
Because I multi-boot, I've learned that udev doesn't always assign the same device name to each drive for all distributions. I've had the same partition identified as hda5, sda5, & sdb5 by different distributions (without doing anything to affect the boot order) So my solution is to keep a list of partitions in a specific file on each distro with valid device names according to that distribution's udev process. Actually I'd use LABEL= instead but the labels don't show up in /etc/mtab, and I like to make sure a partition isn't mounted before I try to fsck it.
I can make this work in a for loop using cat. But I've seen so many things about NOT using cat that I wanted to rebuild my script. I can make this work with a redirect instead of cat via a while loop, But I "LIKE" old style for loops. But I can't seem to find a way to make a redirect work with one. I thought this might make a good first �LinuxQuestions.org� question. I'm also open to any other suggestions on better/alternative methods... Is it possible to redirect from a file into an actual for loop?
My script is as follows:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# FsckEm I script to force file system checking on unmounted ext2/ext3/ext4
# partitions in preselected list. FsckEm accepts no options. Partition

im trying to output a list of running processes via a shell script. At the moment i got this which outputs the processes to a text file called out.
echo $(ps aux) >>out

View 9 Replies View RelatedI put a text file on my desktop and added a couple lines of text with gedit. File type shows text/plain. Double-click opens the file in gedit which is what I want.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have to delete a certain line of text from the a textfile via ubuntu's shell scripting.I have done research, and it seems that most people advocate the usage of sed /d option. sed makes does not edit the text file. Hence, most options I discovered involved the use of a temporary variable/textfile and then overwriting the old file with the temporary new file. Is there anyway whereby I can bypass the use of temporary storage containers? I hope there is any magical combination of commands to edit the file directly.

I want to display the contents of a particular log file (simple text file, I mean in Linux). But there is a problem: The contents need to be organized in a fixed format. Have a look at this log file:

So, while displaying the contents of above file on a web page, I want to format the field names found in the log file: User Name:, Reported Problems Description:, and Remarks:. These fields may contain a variable length of text and no specific line number is assumed for them to appear on.
The desired output should look like this:
User Name: XYZ
Reported Problems Description: Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah!
