General :: Regular Expression In VIM Search And Replace?
Oct 22, 2009I have two type of lines in a text file example
Code:
x.junk(a,b,YAHOO);
y.junk(c,d);
I want to search and replace the second type of line with the first type i.e. with YAHOO included, so that I have
Code:
x.junk(a,b,YAHOO);
y.junk(c,d,YAHOO);
I am trying to use
Code:
:%s/(.*).junk((.*),(.*)^<YAHOO>);/1.junk(2,3,YAHOO);/
In the above code ^<YAHOO> search is not working (I want lines "except YAHOO"). I know that [^ab] will work for "except a,b" characters. How can I say "except word" in regular expressions?

General :: Emacs - Search And Replace Regex In Multiple Buffers?
Apr 7, 2009I'm fairly comfortable with emacs but I can't seem to find how to do this. I deal with a lot of text files and find myself performing a lot of regular expression replacements to correct the formatting of the text -- or to extract certain tidbits of data from large ugly-looking files.
I know how to perform a regular expression replacement in one buffer at a time. But how do you perform a regular expression search and replace across all open buffers? I have found a method to perform a regex search and replace across a directory by marking files but I need to do it in the open buffers.
General :: Regular Expression Search And Replace In Writer Or Gedit?
Oct 26, 2009I've got a list of files that I've copied from my terminal and pasted into gedit and into OO.o writer. Since the files are all created by gedit, in each case there is both file and file~. I want to get rid of all the 'file~' lines. I thought I could do search and replace using *~, but this doesn't work.

Aug 26, 2009Below is extract of my file:
What I need is to replace "--destination-path=" with "--destination-path=/home/dest"
i.e. desired output is ----destination-path=/home/dest
I could achieve it with below command
$cat outgoing-xfer|grep destination-path|perl -pi -e "s/destination-path=/destination-path=/home/dest/g"
But the problem is that in this case i just wanted to append "/home/dest" for which I could easily escape "/" with just two "", but I wonder if i have a long path like "/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/i/j" I will have to escape so many /. Is there any other way by which I can avoid escaping forward slash.
I tried following:
But receiving follo error
Bareword found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "s/destination-path=/'destination-path=/home"
syntax error at -e line 1, near "s/destination-path=/'destination-path=/home"
Bad name after dest' at -e line 1. tried with enclosing in double quotes as well but in vain

General :: Search & Replace Back Slashes To Forward Slashes In Windows
Feb 11, 2011Lately I've been needing to delete new untracked files from my versioning system. Being in linux I use: hg status -un|xargs rm And it works nice, but when doing it in windows, hg status lists paths with backslash so that is where stuff goes wrong. So then I try: hg status -un|sed 's/\///g' ...but I get the error: sed: -e expression #1, char 8: unterminated `s' command
Then I try some ascii: `hg status -un|sed 's/o134/o57/g'`...that gets me: sed: -e expression #1, char 14: Trailing backslash And some scripting: hg status -un|sed 's/`echo `/`echo /`/g' ...that gets me: sed: -e expression #1, char 19: unknown option to `s'
I try all the last with any other characters and I get the expected output... so I'm completely lost. I have cygwin, of course, and I want to avoid using a file (that is what I've been doing).

View 1 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Using Sed To Search And Replace Backwards?
Oct 25, 2010I'm trying to use sed to search and replace backwards. The problem is that I have a shell script that is required to put commas into big numbers. For example
9999999 as 9,999,999
I've tried a few things, but none seem to work:
Code:
$ echo 9999999 | sed -e 's/([0-9]{3})/,1/g'
,999,9999
$ echo 9999999 | sed -e 's/([0-9]{3})$/1,/g' -e 's/([0-9]{3})/1,/g'
999,999,9,
$ echo 9999999 | sed -e 's/([0-9]{3})$/1,/g' -e 's/([0-9]{3})/,1/g'
[ode]....
It would be much easier if I could search backwards! For example Bash parameter substitution style:
Code:
$ echo 9999999 | sed -e 's%([0-9]{3})%,1%g'
Programming :: Search And Replace In A Binary File?
Aug 11, 2010i need to change a binary file, let's say to find and replace username:
find string: "/home/name/bla-bla-bla/ "
new string: "/home/anewname/bla-bla-bla/ "
i can do it, for example, in emacs (hexl-mode), but interesting in writing a script instead. it will be much more better for me if i could do it automatically. is there an analog of: sed 's/string1/string2/g' ? P.S. the best way is to recompile the binary files i have, but there are no sources available.

Ubuntu :: Multiple Search And Replace In Documents - Creating A Sed Script?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Text Editor Column Editor And Regex Search/replace, Incrementing Number Insert?
Jul 25, 2011On windows I really only used Notepad++ as my text editor, it had two features that I loved.What I need to accomplish is what I would do with Notepad++ column editor.I could have like 100 lines, and place the cursor at a column, and goto edit>column editor, and I could insert an incrementing number. (I could also pad the incrementing number with 0s, this was GREAT for making batch files among other things.)So each line at that column had a number higher than the previous line.The other feature that I used sometimes was a search/replace with regex patterns.Does anyone know of an editor that has those features for linux? I am mostly after the column editor insert feature but if you know of one with both features that would rock.

Fedora Installation :: Apt-get Search Wget Saying Invalid Operation Search?
Apr 5, 2011i guess this is an installation issue as i am newish to Linux and got a F14 laptop from a used/refurb store... Anyway it seem i have difficulty with getting GTK running or maybe it is WGET...?
i did manage to install apt-get and was able to run synaptics ... but now whenever i try to run synaptics it flashes the interface and crashes. i tried apt-get search wget and it says invalid operation search. i tried apt cache wget and get a crash box in the upper right corner... i tried apt-get gtk+extra-2.1.2-4.fc14 and it says invalid operation gtk...
All of which is frustrating my attempts to get the GTK interface to J working. Their script uses WGET which i also cannot get.

View 4 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Making RPM Replace Another One
Jul 12, 2011I 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
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...
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.
