Mar 30, 2011Is this the correct way to show the line count of a specific file?
cat file | grep * -c

I have a utility that works with files. The utility is crashing at after about 120 files. The input to the utility is a file containing a filelist. I want to cut the file with the file names in it to seperate files containing about one hundred or so. My thought was to determine the number of lines/100 and then use head and delete to create temporary files to run the utility multiple times to prevent the crash. When I tried to create a variable using the wc -l command the output gives me the number of total lines but it also includes the filename of the input file. (873 Filename.txt) I can not figure out how to remove the Filename.txt from the variable.

I'm new to the shell scripting. can any one help in creating shell script for matching the content of the specific variable with file. it should remove that line from the file if line is containing same value as variable and keep the other content as it is.i used grep -v for accomplishing the same. But grep will remove the pattern which is similar.For eg. Assume file "test" contain datas :aaffif i used grep -v command for the pattern "a" to this file this will remove content "aa" from the file. I want the pattern only "a" should remove from the file, if it is existing. otherwise it should throw alert content not exists.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThis has to also show the line count. I can get it to show the files but not the line count. What is the single command used to identify only the matching count of all lines within files under the /etc directory that contain the word „HOST? List only the files with matches and suppress any error messages.

I have two files, file1.traj and file2.traj. Both these files contain identical data and the data are arranged in same format in them. The first line of both files is a comment.
At line 7843 of both files there is a cartesian coordinate X, Y and Z ( three digits ). And at line 15685 there is another three digits. The number of lines in between two cartesian coordinates are 7841. And there are few hundreds of thousands of lines in a file.
What I need to do is copy the X Y Z coordinate (three digits) from file1.traj at line 7843 and paste into file2.traj at the same line number as in file1.traj. The next line will be 15685 from file1.traj and replace at line 15685 at file2.traj. And I dont want other lines (data) in file2.traj get altered. This sequence shall be going on until the end of the file. Means copy and substitude the selected lines from file1.traj into file2.traj.
I tried to use paste command but I cant do for specified line alone.
Here i showed the data format in the file. I used the line number for clarity purpose.

What I want to do is from a file having block like
<event>
8 3 0.2685416E-02
2 -1 0
21 -1 0
[code]...
The first line after the "<event>" is its process-id, so I would like to have at the end a summary of how many "event" block I have for each type, ie how many
6 1 0.2685416E-02
or how many
7 2 0.2685416E-02
etc etc
I do not know in advance how many different-kind of block I will have, so it has to be a bit smart to scan the file, and make an new "summary" info for each unique type I was using something like
awk '/<event>/,/</event>/{if ($3 -eq 0.2685416E-02 ) { print $1" "$2" "$3}}' file > out
and then
grep -c "$1" "$2" "$3" but with no success since my awk commands prints all lines of each block
Suppose, that in advance I do know the $3, ie the 0.2685416E-02 which is a kind of weight
I need to parse the file of same name which exist on different servers and calculate the count of string existed in both files.Say a file abc.log exist on 2 servers.I want to search for string "test" on both files and calculate the total count of search string's existence.For example if file abc.log on server 1 has string "test" 2 times
and file abc.log on server 2 has string "test" 4 times.then the output will beStringName : Countexampletest : 6 timesNote : I have created the password less connectivity using ssh-keygen.
I would like to parse an input file in which there are two columns per each row. We want to see how many lines are duplicated where we define duplicate to be having the same second field and different first field. For instance if the input file looks like the following:

79873 12309

I am starting to learn shell programming, but I couldn't accomplish a simple thing that can be done with sed, awk.Its simple, I am dynamically getting an IP number, and a rule name, that I need to save them on a single file on a specific line number.I found how to enter a value on a specific line, but couldn't understand how to enter the second value.

i have a problem about deleting a line from a text file which contains two specific patterns. i am using "sed -i "/$name/ d" peop.txt" but i must use one more variable which is surname.
"

gokhan:an:432:4234:da@a.com

and this is the code of text file. and the second question when i use "/$name/ d" it deletes not only the names which are macthing with $name but also all words that contain $name. so how can i fix these problems_?

And I'm trying to count the number of slashes in each line. I figured (with my limited knowledge of bash) that the best thing to use would be sed. So I ran this to print "not /": sed '!s////g' file # and eventually adding " | wc -m" to it. and I got the same result as if I ran cat, no modification at all:

I am combining data from a couple different input files and creating an output file in a specific format. I notice that if I use the >> operator, information gets appended to a new line in my output file. This is useful, but if I'd like to append onto the CURRENT line, is there an easy way to do this? I've been googling around and see lots of complicated answers, nothing that suggests to me an easy way to do this. For example, if my output file looks like this:
b1a:] cat test
hello my name is
b1a:]
and I'd simply like to append "Bob", how can I do it? If I use
b1a:] echo Bob >> test
b1a:] cat test
b1a:] hello my name is
Bob
b1a:]
So what I would prefer is some command that would create the result:
hello my name is Bob
Many folders within a subdirectory some of which have lots of data in and some of which have only one specific file called produkt.fil inside.I need a command to find and delete those folders that contain ONLY the file produkt.fil - if other files exist (doesnt matter what they are) then they should be left alone. Note: produkt.fil exists in all of the folders always.
