General :: Parsing Strings Containing Bash Scripts?
Jan 15, 2010
fakeFile's contents :
Code:
blah $(date +%F) blah
fakeScript's contents :
Code:
while read line; do
echo $line
done < "fakeFile"
so here's the problem : is there any way to evaluate the fakeFile's contents (in the fakeScript), so that the term "$(date +%F)" (or any other bash script) in a string , translates to it's corresponding value ? (in this example , we want to have "blah current date" instead of " blah $(bash script) blah " )
I've been surfing and searching the net quit a while now to make my own script, but I haven't been really successful ever since I want to make a script which can remove strings from my mp3 collection (file names).
For example: Code: 101-bob_sinclar_feat_sean_paul-tik_tok_(radio_edit).mp3 --> bob_sinclar_feat_sean_paul-tik_tok_(radio_edit).mp3 10-Young Jeezy-Lose My Mind (78 Bpm) (Repack).mp3 --> young_jeezy-lose_my_mind.mp3
Now the problem is how can I remove the strings like: 101 & 10 (dynamic) (%%% Bpm) (dynamic) (Repack) (static)
I have multiple strings (eg. say two, firstLIST=(0 1 2) and secondLIST=(2 3)) and want to create a single string composed of their unique sorted elements. For the sample strings above, I'd like to build masterLIST=(0 1 2 3).I suppose I could write the elements of firstLIST and secondLIST to files
as this gives me a file populated with the elements I'm after, but I'm not sure how to read the elements back into masterLIST... and it doesn't seem "right" to create files to accomplish this. Is there a way to do this by manipulating the strings ${firstLIST[@]} and ${secondLIST[@]} directly? The closest I've come (not close at all) is
Code:
masterLIST=${firstLIST[@]}" "${secondLIST[@]}
but masterLIST built this way has only one element
I'm trying to write a bash script to find all lines containing two different strings in many files. I don't have access to egrep so I want to use sed for this purpose.
The files will look like this: FileX ------ Info:18 Data:76 Contact:me@home.com Start:1500
I want to generate a new file from these files with only the rows containing Data and Start. Something like this: for y in `ls /file*.db`; do sed '/Data|Start/p' $y > newfile done
i am trying to get a script that i'm calling to have information from a sql populate into rows... but i'm not getting the data to output correctly into the rows. can someone please help?
I want to search and replace strings in a file with strings in other files/i need to do it with big strings(string1 is big) and i want to use a txt file for this.But this code not working :
i'm trying all the time to use this (find,sed gnu,..etc) scrip to find and remove this string in all files *.php in wwwbackup/ directory. the script work without any error, but doesn't remove any thing!?
find /home/usr/wwwbackups/ -type f -name *.php -print0| xargs -0 sed 's#echo "<iframe src="http://internetcountercheck.com/?click=2255046" width=1 height=1 style="visibility:hidden;position:absolute"></iframe>";##g' -i
I'm not overly great with bash scripting. I do more batch file stuff for Windows than anything else but I'm trying to branch out a bit. (Frankly, I'd love to do this in Ruby but I'm not there yet...) Maybe I'm not using the correct terminology and that's why my searches are coming up useless...
Anyway, I have a script that does some work with HandBrake. Although it deals with HandBrake, I think the issue is not with HandBrake itself. The issue: I had a simpler script which worked fine but it would give me an MP4 with a file name of: Some Movie Name.iso.mp4 and it would still play but I wanted to get rid of the .iso in the file name. I also wanted to drop it into another directory during the encoding. That's why you see a $source & a $destination variable.
...and returning the index of the found element in its array.
I have:
for ((i=0; i < ${#array1[@]}; i++)); do # Read each line of the file test if [[ $(eval "sed -n '$(($i+1))'p test") == *${array2[0]}* ]] stuff
I want to find the index of the found substring in array2 and only if it isn't found, move on to the next element of array2. I don't know the size of array2 so that [0] has just got to go.
We have a system called Skynet, which is basically a bunch of monitoring tools, including Nagios. What I want to do is output the status of 'critical' processes in conky. The conky part I'll worry about later (how hard can that be?), but I'm looking for some feedback on how I'm parsing the initial data. I figure that the simplest way to get the information is to query the cgi, then take what I need from the results...
All I basically want is the server name and the process name, the above example giving server0/server1 and 'update status' as the service. How would you go about extracting merely these two pieces of information, bearing in mind that the server name and process are variable?
I've searched online and found many examples using getopts, but nothing that clearly explains it use, nor any examples of what I'm trying to do. I have a script named "process". It can take from 0 to 3 different options. I'd like to be able to handle these options regardless of the order that they are entered.
Syntax: process [-v] [-d #] [-h|-?] [string] -v = verbose mode on -d # = how deep to do the process, expecting a number parameter -h or -? = show command usage string = only process lines containing the specified string
Is there a way to process individual characters one-by-one from a text file in Bash, or is that hoping for a little too much from this lovable old clunker?
I have a bash variable where the content looks like this where ;f1; and ;f2; are delimiters: ;f1;field1value1;f2;field2 value1 ;f1;field1value2;f2;field2 value2 ;f1;field1value3;f2;field2 value3
So what I need is to extract and put into variables each combination of f1 and f2 in a loop to something like that:
#first pass of the loop I need: f1=field1value1 f2=field2 value1
#second pass of the loop I need: f1=field1value2 f2=field2 value2
# third pass of the loop I need: f1=field1value3 f2=field2 value3
PI'm trying to write a script to list all open ports in the MINIUNPND chain in iptables and use the procotol, port and destination ip to open ports on another router using upnpc.Here is the output of iptables -L MINIUPNPD
No matter what i do i cant seem to remove the first 4 characters from the MYPROT array to leave only the digits. Also i cant seem to read the array back???
I thought it would simply be a loop reading each line and passing the fields in variables, executing upnpc commands i need then moving to the next line of the file until it reached the EOF.
I'm at the bottom of the bash learning curve, looking up, hoping someone can toss me a line. I need to update tracker on my system but this will erase the metatag database I've been building up over the course of months for the purpose of indexing a news archive. So the solution seems to be, 1) save the output of tracker-tag to a text file for all relevant files within a directory, 2) upgrade tracker (since the version in the Ubuntu repositories is very much out of date) and then 3) use a script to parse the text file and pass appropriate arguments back to tracker-tag to rebuild the database. It sounds as though it ought to be simple enough, but I need a push in the right direction, which hopefully will not be off the cliff. Before I confuse my metaphors any further, here's what the text file looks like.
I am using sed to process an ascii tcpdump file whereby each packet is processed into a line with the same number of columns and useful information is pulled out like the time, packet type, length, and also IP addresses, payload type and port numbers where appropriate. The time is already changed to seconds, followed by the protocol over ethernet, such as IP, IP6, ARP etc. and I can change anything it detects as IP, IP6 and ARP into some other string, pulling out necessary information depending on the protocol and payload.The beginning part of the search for IP starts with the sed search /([0-9][0-9]*.[0-9][0-9]*)[ ]IP[ ,] ... /, where time is in seconds and ellipses means more stuff, and likewise for IP6 and ARP.But how do I process the lines that are NOT IP, IP6 or ARP? (Specifically NOT /IP[ ,]/, /IP6[ ,]/ or /ARP[ ,]/.) So that I can format them into a string with the same number of columns.
I'm on Ubuntu 11.04. I get the above error when running a utility to get code from a version control system (StarTeam). The error looks generic enough that I'm hoping its an easily resolvable system problem. Below is how I get it ...
Code:
$ /bin/sh -c stcmd label -x -nologo -stop -p username:password@mydomain.com:9999/NNA/NNA/Technology/nna/tools/selenium -nl selenium-utils-1.0 -b strings: '/lib/libc.so.6': No such file
Is there a faster way to search for a file containing a given string than using grep -re "string" /
This takes a long time to search through the entire system, so I was wondering if there is a faster way. I don't know the name of the file, just that it will contain a given string.
I would like to find all the files that contains the strings I'm searching.
For example (it's just an example), I would like to search all the files in "/etc" that contains "eth0" and "us", whatever where are located those 2 strings, the important is that the 2 strings are in the files listed.
It would be something like a "grep -lr 'eth0' *" and "grep -lr 'us' *" but in one time/command, so that I don't have to make a comparison of the 2 list of files resulting from the 2 "grep" commands given higher.
I am working on the script to parsing the log message . the followings are my task:1. Read the multiple log files, such as N1-2009-10-01, N2-2009-10-2, N3-2010-01-02....2. Parse the specific message, such as "aaaa"3. If found the "aaaa" message in the log file and export to excel file PS. i use zgrep:zgrep -a --text "aaaa" * > /home/TTS/myfileand inside file looks like:
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.
