I have a folder with many many files. e.g html, docs, excel sheet, script etc.
Now I want to find {using grep command}a certain word in that folder/directory and delete it in all the files and scripts that have it.
For example, I want to delete the word /testing (with the slash) in all files in a directory.
I am basically trying to remove duplicate words in my <title></title> tag after I got hit by Google Panda. I have around 750 .html files and it will be difficult for to me remove one by one. I am looking for a way to remove only from within <title> </title>
Example of a duplicate title I have:
Code:
<title>Pasta, Pasta Recipe and Pasta Guide</title>
I dont want to replace those words anywhere else in the file except for within the <title>
i want to remove words "Max" and "constrained" in a file given below:
Max 0.003745 constrained
Max 0.004549 constrained
Max 0.001689 constrained
[code]....
and further want to replace "Max" by line number so that i can plot the resulting file. i searched in forum, but couldn't do what i wanted to do. e.g. i used
1)grep command
grep -v "Max" inputfile >outputfile
deletes whole line,and hence whole text.
2) sed command
cat inputfile |sed 's/ .{1,12} //g' >outputfile
gives output
0.003745constrained
0.004549constrained
0.001689constrained
[code]....
For example if i have the following "OneThree" and i want to add the word "Two" between "one" and "three". To have "OneTwoThree" How can i do this?

got the same thing in terms of a u: number but the issue is I need to remove duplicates and just leave one and the file has multiple duplicates of different u: numbers and it's 14,000 lines long. can anyone tell me if I can use awk? sed? or sort for something like this to? removing lines that have a certain string in there that's a duplicate.
I have udev rules that creates a directory for each usb-media that is plugged into my debian to automount usb-media. This directory where mount-points (the mount-directories) are created is passed through a rdp-connection with rdesktop. On our terminalserver there's a drive Z that shows all mount-points with content of usb-media.When users remove usb-media, udev unmounts usb-media and tries to delete the directory that was used to mount usb-media.If the users hasn't closed explorer showing any subfolder of usb-media, the unmount-command succeeds but the rmdir-command fails because the ressource is "busy or used".My question: how can I force to delete this mountpoint? (rmdir doesn't have force and rm -rf doesn't work)Edit: I should add, that I can't use third-party software or additional packages because the linux-machine is a thin-client with very low disk-space.

I'm sure I've done this before and am having a brain fart.
I have run into this a couple of time this last month:
I have a list of torrent files (blahblahhexblah.torrent) saved in a text file. I would like to read the text file and populate the client directory.
I can echo the file using:
But I cannot remember how to pipe the output into the directory, nor can I find any resources that describe the process.
Interestingly enough, I've had a couple of opportunities to do similar tasks with passwords and privileges and even across the LAN in the last few days. Solving this problem will help me solve the others for next time.
I am a member of a group which has written a program whose source code is being held in a specific directory (~cs252/Assignments/basicAsst/project) and we want to go through and change the parameters for the function "sequentialInsert." My job is to find all occurances of the function call to "sequentialInsert" and to also list the files from where the code came from. Also, I have to be in the commandsAsst directory when I do this. I have tried grep and find combined together, and I am at a lost.
