I'm storing a list of strings in a file and would like to read the file and pipe each line returned to grep which in turn searches a directory for files containing the string.However this is not returning any output.
View 2 RepliesI need to simply replace a 2 lines, or one and I'll run each command separately, in a eps file. I know I can grep the line and pipe that into the sed but I would like to keep this in a sed command. I can use sed /s and get it if I copy the section out of the file and paste it. Really just trying to rewrite the boundingbox coord's in eps files.
sed -i 's/%%BoundingBox: 00 00 88 487/%%BoundingBox: 24 315 288 487/g;s/%%HiResBoundingBox: 00 00 88 487/%%HiResBoundingBox: 26 315 288 487/g' someeps.eps

However, using a usb tracker I can see that the correct data is being sent.The error only occurs sometimes.I expect that the read function is told to read more data that it receives it would fail and return -1, however if this was the case then every read call would fail.

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:

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.

When I type in the command directly, without using an inbetween variable, it works fine.
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 search a text file for a string of numbers which are different lengths, and always are between number=" and " like:

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.
I'm doing ping between 2 RH servers through a VPN site2site tunnel and in some times I got in the result pipe 2 and another pipe 3 as I mark it in blue color below.
e.g.

64 bytes from 192.168.1.10: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.287 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.10: icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=0.278 ms

What's the difference between pipe 2 and pipe 3 and what's the meaning of it?
