General :: Search For Exact Repetitions In Text File

Nov 23, 2010

I've got a big text file in which I know have probably made some typos (LaTeX). Sometimes I rewrite sentences several times and then end up with double pieces like "the the" or "is is" without noticing it. Most spell checkers that I can use in LaTeX are very basic so they do not notice these grammar errors. Is there a way that I can search for these repetitions by hand using sed or awk or something along these lines? Is there an app for that?

General :: Find Text After String Search In File

Aug 2, 2011

I have a file called Regions.ini that looks like this:

Code:
[Granite]
RegionUUID = 54ab7cd2-0e70-49b7-8020-8dbeb84c08d0
Location = 9991,10007
InternalAddress = 0.0.0.0
InternalPort = 9001
AllowAlternatePorts = False
ExternalHostName = 71.171.21.9

[Syenite]
RegionUUID = 8fc56fdd-0afd-4074-9432-0ae8f42b799f
Location = 9992,10007
InternalAddress = 0.0.0.0
InternalPort = 9000
AllowAlternatePorts = False
ExternalHostName = 71.171.21.9
What I need to do is find out what the IP address is after "ExternalHostName ="

After that I will need to compare that IP to whatismyip and if it's different then replace it but that is easy to do with sed. I just can't figure this simple hurdle out.

I need to search a text file for a string of numbers which are different lengths, and always are between number=" and " like:

Ubuntu :: Search For An Exact String In A Terminal?

Oct 22, 2010

Is there hopefully a way to search for an exact string in Man Pages? I know if I want to search for anything containing -c I can just do this.

Code:
/-c

How would I search for "-c"? I want only "-c" to show up. So I tried this.

Code:
/"-c"

It took me literally and looked for the quotes also.

Programming :: C++ Character Search In Text File?

Jun 23, 2011

Im trying to read a file in c++ and search for particular character for example if this is a list that I have:

Alice
Bob
David

[code]....

if the input is D, it should give David, if its B, gives bob. so in this case, meaning it reads the first character of every line. but if possible I want to make this dynamic so the user can specify which character position he is looking for, so in case he is looking for R as character index 3 in all lines, it should give Charlie. but the problem is, it does now recognize , besides, I do not know how to specify the character position in each line.

here is my code

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstring>

[code]....

Searched text is:CleanCache "*";

Programming :: Write A Utility Which Will Scan In A Text File And Search And Replace Strings?

Something very handy to do in a Linux shell, is manipulating files and strings - essentially parsing data. Write a utility which will scan in a text file and search and replace strings. We also want to keep track of how many strings we've replaced.

I know that my command would look like this: <utility name> <filename> <stringToSearchFor> <stringToReplaceWith>
Code: #!/bin/bash

CentOS 5 :: Search A Text File For The Existence Of Certain Strings And Execute A Command If They Exist, Something Along The Lines?

Feb 23, 2010

This should be simple but I can't seem to find what I am looking for.I want to search a text file for the existence of certain strings and execute a command if they exist, something along the lines of:

if <string> exists
command
or

if <any member of this list exists>
command

I know how to manually search a file with grep, cat, etc., but the "if this exists" part eludes me.

Programming :: Exact Text Find And Replace?

Aug 13, 2010

I have a sysctl.conf that has the following in it:

kernel.exec-shield-randomize = 1
kernel.exec-shield = 1

When I grep kernel.exec-shield I get both line, hence I keep over writing the kernel.exec-shield-randomize in my script because it finds them both for my sed commend.

How can I get an exact match with either sed/awk/grep in shell so I can do a find and replace?

Example: sed 's/^kernel.exec-shield =.*/kernel.exec-shield = 1/g' /etc/sysctl.conf will replace BOTH lines

Example: grep "^kernel.exec-shield" find both line and I want it to find only the exact line.

General :: Open File Without Specifying Exact Location

Jun 15, 2010

I have a file in some obscure directory that I want to open and edit. I don't want to do something like this...

vim ~/foo/bar/blah/doh/ugh.txt

I'd rather be able to say find this file and open it. I know there are commands like locate and find to find a file or directory, but I'm not sure whether these can (or even should) be utilized in what I'm trying to do. Basically, what is the simplest way to open a file with a program w/o specifying its exact location? (In cases where there isn't another file with the same name in the entire system, and cases where there are multiple).

General :: Using Grep / Awk To Search For Colored Text

Sep 17, 2010

I have done a bunch of searches on this but the terms seem to get tangled in the more popular search of "colouring the output of grep / awk". I am trying to find a way to grep/awk through the output of a command to find text of a specific colour. The command's output has a range of colours signifying too many different things to specify using text, with colour being the only form of grouping.

General :: Search For Text Strings In Multiple PHP Files?

Feb 3, 2011

Long story short, I got a folder with nearly 800,000 php files. I would like to search each file for a string and if it exists in that file, the file gets copied to another directory. Is this possible from the terminal? So far I got: grep -i -n -r 'ppr-1792' * | cp $1 move_to_here

But this obviously doesn't work. $1 needs to be the file name that contains matching text.

General :: Copy A File And Rename It At The Same Time While Copying It To The Same Exact Directory?

Jun 26, 2010

Create a copy of the file above and call it commands.sorted. Use the vi command to manually sort this file. I.e. use yy to copy a line, P or p to paste a line, and dd delete a line. Order the commands with the two lines starting with double quotes first. Then list the rest of the command in alphabetical order.

Anyone have any ideas what he's talking about? Can I copy a file and rename it at the same time while copying it to the same exact directory again? Now sure what the two lines things means either. I have an email out to him but it usually takes a long time for him to answer me. I got alot of work to do so everytime I get hung up it kills me.

General :: Copy A File With Certain Name Pattern For Which Exact Place In Complex Directory-structure Unknown?

Sep 19, 2011

I want to copy all files with the name XYZ* into one folder. The problem is that the files are in different subfolders and that not even the depth of the folder structure is the same for all files. Luckily, at least each file has a unique name.

Of course, I thought about the cp command but I guess the depth of the folder structure needs to be the same for this to work.
