General :: Script To Traverse Into Sub-directory And Replace Line Of File Inside Zip?
Aug 27, 2010
I can't get sed to actually change the file, clearly there's something basic not working, can anyone point me in the right direction? I know nothing about scripting. Oh yeah, all the directories have spaces which was why so elaborated.
find . -name "*epub" | while read file; do unzip -o "$file" content.opf && mv content.opf content.opf.bak && sed 's/<dc:language>UND</dc:language>/<dc:language xsi:type="dcterms:RFC4646">EN</dc:language>/' < content.opf.bak > content.opf && zip "$file" content.opf && rm -f content.* ; done

I'm trying to create a script that when given a diretory, it goes traverses through all the subdirectories and process the files in them.However, there is one restriction.directories thatit traverses through must all have a read permission for the others group.How would I go about doing this?

I have a jar, and I need to replace a class in it, at this moment, I can only open it with "archive manager" and then drag and drop the new compiled class into the jar, but I think this is really boring, if I can do with with just a command ?

I have large text files with space delimited strings (2-5). The strings can contain "'" or "-". I'd like to replace say the second space with a pipe. What's the best way to go?
Using sed I was thinking of this:
sed -r 's/(^[a-z'-]+ [a-z'-]+) /1|/' filename.txt

I need your inputs on performing some operations:-
a. Traverse from top Level directory, find all the directories
b. Rename all these directories to <original name>.dir
c. Once the renaming is done - search from top level and retain only those directories which has .txt content in them.
d. Delete rest all.....
Can i use xargs here to perform operation a and b , or will sed will be useful.

I want to replace a certain line of a file, my bash script looks like:
#!/bin/sh
sentence="if [ -e /home/inf/Download/$playlist ]"
sed '4c
$sentence' oldfile > newfile
mv -f newfile oldfile
But the variable $sentence can not be identified in ' ' . And also you can see I just want to update the old file. But the sed command can not save the file for me ,so I need to write them to a new file and over write the new file .

We have a couple of Windows file servers that just share files. It is all they do. We'd like to use Ubuntu on two replacement servers allowing Windows XP and Windows 7 clients to access the files. Our network is active directory based due to Exchange and homegrown .NET apps, so it is important that active directory is used to authenticate the clients. Samba doesn't need to be a pdc or bdc, but provide pass through authentication.I understand that Samba can communicate with active directory through security-ads and security-domain.
Here are my questions to see if I should proceed:1) Folder permissions:If we move all our files to the Ubuntu server how do we set folder permissions and will we see the active directory accounts when we do this?2) Skipping ubuntu accounts: I know the domain and ads allow you to skip creating ubuntu accounts, right? If not, how do you keep the passwords synchronized?3) Easiest way? Is there a very easy way to pull this off that I've missed? My goal is to eliminate the Windows based file servers while ensuring the admin part of it is as easy as possible.To date I've been able to get the sharing to work with an ubuntu account mirroring the active directory account. I've been able to get Samba to talk to the pdc, but not successfully through domain security. ADS security was a complete cluster with winbindd

This is the script I'm running
tar tf some.tar somefolder_insidetar
And output it's a list with all folders, files, and SUBDIRECTORY Files, the only thing I need it's just show the contents (folder and files) of the current directory choosed, not listing subdirectory files, or subdirectories inside subdirectories.

Is there any linux command to find directories with a given prefix or suffix, for example directories with a name of debug or debugerror, with unknown some prefix or suffix?

I have a line of text with multiple web links in the line. I'd like to replace the actual links with the text "<web-link>" so I don't accidentally hit them while reading on my iphone. I've tried many versions of the following sed command, sed 's/(http.*)/<web_link>/g', but it simply replaces everything between the first instance of "(http" and the last instance of ")" with <web_link>, or does nothing at all.
Ex: This line has a link to a web page (http://www.webpage.com/file.html) then some more text (extra text) and then another link (http://www.nextwebpage.com.index.html) to a website.
$ echo "This line has a link to a web page (http://www.webpage.com/file.html) then some more text (extra text) and then another link (http://www.nextwebpage.com.index.html) to a website." | sed 's/(http.*)/<web_link>/g'
What I get is: This line has a link to a web page <web_link> to a website.
What I'd like is: This line has a link to a web page <web_link> then some more text (extra text) and then another link <web_link> to a website.
What am I doing wrong with my sed command?

I am working at a client who has a project where code is a mixture of different source control systems. So a layout might be like this
project/a/.svn
/a/subfolder/.svn
/b/.hg
/c/subproject/.svn
/d/.hg
So I am trying to put together a simple command that when executed from the project folder will run the appropriate hg/svn command in each project i.e:
[Code]...
Since the client has many such projects, Instead I am looking for a solution similar to find -exec where the svn/hg commands are automatically executed on each first level of match (i.e. svn up is run in the project/a folder but not in project/a/subfolder). How can such a command be constructed ?.

in the terminal all the time, can I have some short hand to do so? for example, can I do something like
cd commandPlace
to replace the path?

I'm trying to use sed to search for a certain 'primary' pattern that may exist on several lines, with each primary pattern followed by an --unknown-- number of 'secondary' patterns.The lines containing the pattern start with: test(header_name)On that same line is an arbitrary number of strings that come after it.I want to move those strings over to their own lines so that they each are preceded by their own test(header_name).e.g. Original file (mytest.txt):
apples
test("Type1", "hat", "cat", "dog", "house");
bananas
