Can the Replace function replace more than one word with the same character(s)?
Also, do you know how to access the plugins provided by the gedit-plugins package?
I am trying to replace the first number in a string at the end of the line with the word that matches that number. for example i want to replace 546215 to be five-46215. The command that I have tried is
sed -r 's/5[0-9]{5}$/five-[0-9]{5}/'
This is what i doing to remove ( and ) sed 's/(//'|sed 's/)//') Can you offer me some better sed code that remove ( and ) with blank without using pipe (|) . I mean sed code that check ( or ) and replace that with blank character.

$ cp foo.data bar1.data
$ ^bar1^bar2
And that runs the same command with bar2.data instead of bar1.data. Now, how about if I have multiple occurrences of the target word? For example:
$ cp foo.data bar.data
$ ^data^index
It only replaces the first data extension. How do I get it to replace both?
rm -f /www/emailout/template.html
TODAY=`date '+%d-%m-%y'`
DBRUN=`ps ax | grep dtd `
sed -e 's/ncTODAY/'"$TODAY"'/g' -e "s/ncdbrun/'"$DBRUN"'/g" /www/emailout/test1.html > /www/emailout/template.html
But, I can't get the output of $DBRUN ?
I have a CSV file with 8 columns. I want to check the 5th column, which will contain a single capitalised letter. If that letter is say "B" I would then like to replace the 2nd column in the csv with an incremental number starting at 0 (basically a count) with a prefix of B (B0000001) Sample row would be:
Code:
C, 0109390,sfs,sfsf,B,blah,blah
Amended row would be:
Code:
C, B000001,sfs,sfsf,B,blah,blah
I want to write a small script to rename a bunch of files. Their name is of the form 'long number'|'name'|'extension', for example:
52354Football_part2.flv
2353452Nice_weather_4_ducks.flv
I would like to rename these to:
Football_part2.flv
Nice_weather_4_ducks.flv
If in my script I use something like
Code:
sed s/[0-9]//g
on each file, I will get
Football_part.flv, instead of Football_part2.flv,
and
Nice_weather__ducks.flv, instead of Nice_weather_4_ducks.flv.

I need a script that will replace '/' in a variable with ''I have tried the following:
Code:
y=$(echo $1|sed 's///\/g')
The thing is that this approach does not always work. Here is an example:
Code:
user@pc:~$ sh script.sh /usr/var/sakis.txt
z:usr
arsakis.txt
user@pc:~$ sh script.sh /usr/tar/sakis.txt
z:usr arsakis.txt
Is there a way to treat those characters?
I am bouncing a file across platforms (windows->solaris->mainframe), and the file is starting out with a "special" character (the registered trademark "circle R") in some of the records. This character is not in the EBCDIC character set on the MF, so it is unrecognizable. The MF developer I am working with asked if it is possible to replace the character with a specific hex value (AF) before it gets to the MF.
I was putzing around with sed, tr, etc. on the ksh command line, hoping to find an easy way to get one of them to substitute hex instead of ASCII. I have found that the usual shell utilities recognize the trademark character, so homing in on what to replace is solved. But I cannot get anything to actually substitute in the hex sequence I want. E.g. I was thinking something like...
>cat special_file | sed 's/R/AF/g'
But my version of sed does not seem to have hex "editing" capability.
I would like to know what shell command I could use for finding a phrase (which is a URL) in many files, with a different phrase. I have tried the "sed" command, but it does not like the forward slash.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to make an rpm which when installed as an update causes another rpm to be removed. I'm fairly sure this is possible because I have seen LibreOffice rpms install as updates replacing OpenOffice rpms in the process without any interaction being required. However I'm unable to figure out how to do it, even after having looked at the spec file for such a LibreOffice rpm.
I have package gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg installed. I have another package called multimedia installed. I've built a new version of multimedia which includes the gstreamer ffmpeg plugin so I don't need the gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg package installed any more. I've tried using Provides and Obsolete in the spec file of the new multimedia package. E.g.
Code:
Provides: gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg
Obsoletes: gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg <= 0.10.10
(I've tried it with and without version numbers.) Whatever I put in the spec file, when I try and install the new multimedia package as an update zypper says
Code:
$ zypper up -y multimedia

Problem: multimedia-1.1-1.i586 obsoletes gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg <= 0.10.10 provided by gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg-0.10.10-0.i686
Solution 1: replacement of gstreamer-0_10-ffmpeg-0.10.10-0.i686 with multimedia-1.1-1.i586
Solution 2: do not ask to install a solvable providing multimedia > 1.0-2
Selecting an option manually is no good, I need the update to happen without user interaction.

I have a sed question
I got the following

I'd like a sed command to replace all decimal values greater than 0.5 with nothing in a tab delimited text file.
EX:
There would be one tab before 0.301 and two tabs after it. This way when you paste the text into an excel spreadsheet, there are empty cells where you deleted values.
I thought the sed command would be something like:
But this will delete everything.
What I need is something that will start deleting when it sees 0.[5-9] and stop when it reaches a tab. I know you can use [^character]+ to do this, but it doesn't seem to work with a TAB as the character.
Another idea I had would be to have sed replace from 0.[5-9] to 0. and replace with a tab + 0. But I also cant get [^0.]+ to work as it only works with single characters.
I might just be crazy or particularly dumb today but what I'm trying to do is have sed replace the first and second instance of a character on a line but not after that.
Basically it is a csv file with a date formatted as dd/mm/yyyy and I need to completely remove the slashes. No problem using:
Code:
sed 's////g' < file > outputfile
The only problem is that one of the columns after this may also contain these slashes and shouldn't be removed.
I must have read every single sed page on the net today to find a way to do it to no avail! Is it as simple as :
Code:
sed 's////1' < file > outputfile
And then run the same on the output file again? these two slashes will always be the first and second slashes in the file.
Ive some textfiles which contains some colums seperated by a various number of spaces, but instead i need one single tab as a seperator.
