General :: Loop Append Text To Text Files?

Jan 15, 2010

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.

General :: Append Text With AWK Or SED?

Mar 19, 2010

I'm doing an assignment for school, and while we have not yet learned regular expressions, my teacher would like us to use AWK to append text to certain lines in a file. What we've had to do is creating a listing of all links and directories in the /etc folder and place them in a text file. From this, we were to cut the first field (Permissions) and the ninth field (filename) and create another text file. Now the part that I'm struggling with is this and I'm not sure if I should be using sed or awk. We're supposed to ADD the text "DIR" to the beginning of any line that is a directory, and "LNK" to any that is a link, like so:

DIRdrwxr-xr-x redhat-lsb
DIRdrwxr-xr-x rhgb
LNKlrwxrwxrwx rnDIRc.key
DIRdrwxr-xr-x rpm

Obviously, I realize that the first character in the permissions denotes what sort of file it is, hence when I created my text file I used

ls -l | grep "^d" > file.txt
and
ls -l | grep "^l" >> file.txt

I'd like to learn how to properly do this, but struggling through pages on the internet hasn't been helping, nor has the --help command. Therefore, while I would like the answer, I'd also like to know what the heck I'm doing For example, I know I could delete lines with regex using d/[STUFF I WANT TO DELETE]/g (To get rid of all occurences) and I can substitute using s/foo/bar But I'm unaware of anyway to ADD text upon certain occurences, let alone two different circumstances.

Software :: Join 2 Text Files Based On First Number Present In Every Line Of The 2 Text Files?

Jan 22, 2010

I have 2 text files : file1.txt and file2.txt

cat file1.txt

15 this is a sentence containing various words and spaces
34 this is a another sentence containing various words and spaces

cat file2.txt

2 this is sentence1file2
6 this is sentence2file2
54 this is sentence3file2

I would like to join these 2 files. The result should look as follows :

cat joinedfile.txt

2 this is sentence1file2
6 this is sentence2file2
15 this is a sentence containing various words and spaces
34 this is a another sentence containing various words and spaces
54 this is sentence3file2

==> so the joined file must be sorted on the first number. Any ideas how this can be achieved ?

Software :: Append Text To File

Dec 2, 2009

I want to append some text to the file, files are mostly big, more then 100 mb. I found the cat command, so I can create a new txt file and then append it to the original file with it. Two questions:

1. Can I append text to the file instead of creating the new file and then appending it to the original file? eg:
Code:
cat file.avi "some text" > newfile.avi
2. cat takes several seconds to execute the merging files together, it seems that it is reading the original file first, is there a way skip the reading and just append the file?

OpenSUSE :: Append Text To An Entry In An Existing File?

Aug 30, 2010

How do you append text to an entry in an existing file? For example, lets say I have a file called "env.logon" in /home/myself/bin that contains the following text:

PATH=/bin:/sbin If I wanted to add, via command line, ":/usr/bin:/usr/sbin" to the PATH= and I
used the "echo" command (echo "PATH=:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin) it would create a second entry and my file would look like:

PATH=/bin:/sbin
PATH=:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
What I want is for it to look like:
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

Is there a way to get this result via command line?

Software :: Insert (NOT Append ) Text By Using Redirection In Shell Scripting?

Mar 11, 2010

if you execute :

#!/bin/bash
echo "some textstring" >> logfile.txt

then the string "some textstring " will be APPENDED to logfile.txt Is there a redirect way that in stead of appended, the string will be INSERTED at the top of the logfile.txt file ? If this cannot be done by redirecting, what would be the best way to insert the test-string at the top of the logfile ?

General :: All Text In Text Editor Turned To Boxes?

Jul 17, 2009

I was trying to install GTK+-2.8.20, so I installed it's necessary dependencies in this order:

pkg-config-0.23
glib-2.20.4
pango-1.24.4
jpeg library
tiff library
cairo

And I was about to install the last dependency: ATK (Accessability Toolkit).I opened the Archive Manager to extract the "atk-1.26.0.tar.gz" file (yes, I'm still switching from Windows so I'm fond of GUI), but I noticed all the text in that window was boxes, like the □ type box for every letter of text.So instead I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, because the terminal and regular windows weren't screwed up.I opened a text file in gedit (reference to commands in terminal, such as how to extract files via terminal), but yet again all of the text was □-like boxes.

General :: Parsing Text And Combining The Parsed Text?

Oct 28, 2010

EDIT1: I should note that I was trying to do this in PERL, not sure if other alternatives are more simple?EDIT2: I should note that for text file 3 (reference), it's a long list of MANY cnp_id values and their corresponoding chr, start, and end values. So, the code will have to take the cnp_id from text file 1 and/or 2 and search through textfile 3 (reference) to match on the cnp_id and then take the corresponding chr, start, and end values and add to the relevant line in the output.EDIT3: Sorry, I should mention that the text file entries are all tab-delimited.I have 3 text files:File 1:Columns represent sample IDs (sample_id) and rows represent CNP IDs (cnp_id). Cells represents the confidence level (confidence) for each sample and CNP.Quote:

I am trying to store the results of my code to a separate text file.But the problem is, as my results comes from a loop, my text file shows only the last result, not all of them.Like if the loop runs 5 time the text file shows the result for the 5th step.But i need to store all of them (1 to 5).Can I use awk to print the output field and store to another file and creat a new line so that the next output field goes to a new line?(just an idea, dont know).
