I have the large file (textfile) there are word:

How to substitute those all words, so it will change all instances to:
code-007200
...
code-007299
I'm writing a bash script to search html files, and when I find any occurrence of an img src tag like this:
<img src="123-picture-normal.jpg" alt="some random user entered text" border="0">
I want to add a second line below it that looks like:
<img src="123-picture-thumbnail.jpg" alt="some random user entered text" border="0">
All I need to do is duplicate the line but replace "normal" with "thumbnail"
Each file can have multiple img src tags with different numbered jpgs.
I have a feeling this is a job for sed, but I'm struggling with it. Any ideas?
I want to go through a log file and find pattern1 and then a pattern2 only after pattern 1.So for example I want to know howManyRecords was in 13:30.I figured I grep for "start time for the job" and then only after that (and before the next occurence of that) grep for "howManyRecords". Is this a sane way?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have to enhance the behaviour of a backup script written in perl. I don't need to change it, what I need to do is to create a bash script that does some checks like file name and file size, execute the backup script then check if the backup files match the original files.Here's how I try to do it:
- read the files from the original files folder
- store them in an array
- search in the array the files that have a specific file extension
- store the file names that match the search pattern (I know the backup script skips some files so I can hardcode the search pattern)
- run the backup script
- read the files from the backup folder
- store them in an array
- compare the original files name and size stored in an array with those from the backup folder
- send a report email
I have tried making this substitution using both of
Code:
Sed operates with no comment but does nothing. awk objects to the variables content because they include the occasional non-breaking-space. The presence of these is essential so that bash will properly distribute the content of each line to an array.
The content of "orc" and "orch" is as follows (the non-breaking-spaces show as *).
Code:
I tried to use the command:
sed -i ''$line_number',/port/s/port/portMARKED/' file
to substitute the word "port" by the word "portMARKED" at the specific line that is saved in "line_number". The substitution happens, but it is copying my line twice... and I have no idea why... I need to make a single substitution of one word for another at a certain line in my text file. Would somebody know how I could do that?
Assume that i a having the following three lines in an executable file

run_repeatedly "programX -o "./messy/path/output-$NUM.txt"" The echo inside the loop prints "...-$NUM.txt"; obviously I'm aiming to have bash substitute the iteration number so that I end up with many output files not 1.
I want to cut out part of the 'uptime' output so all it displays is the load average. In the end I want to cut out everything before the word 'load'.

I have a requirement to list files using find command My folder contains below list of files with out extention.I have a requirement to exclude only ABC.123.* type files and list others. Even though files having MNO contains this pattern i should not exclude. Even if file ends with .txt or .doc it should not be excluded. That is ABC.123.1234.txt should not be excluded.But I am not getting what is required. Can any one please let me know if I am doing wrong any where. As per my requirement I cannot use grep, -regex, or -regex attributes to find command.

Say, I want to comment out the line containing "which 0launch" and the two lines following it:
if [ -x "`which 0launch`" ]; then
exec 0launch http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/ROX-Filer -S
fi
Expected result:
#if [ -x "`which 0launch`" ]; then
# exec 0launch http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/ROX-Filer -S
#fi
I need this because I do not want to comment out every line containing "fi", just the "fi" of this specific if statement.

I have some lines of text and I want to detect words that meet some criteria with sed.
E.g. The line "tetris cat dog test cactus stereotype"
I want to detect the word that contains two (2) ore more t letters. That mean the words tetris, test and stereotype.
The following regex doesn't do the job because it can;t distinguish words very well.
I thinks I have ti incorporate something like [^ ] in the regex but I wasn't successful...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to write a newline delimeted rules file using PCREs for use with the grep command. Grep has the option -f to obtain the search pattern from a file, and option -P to search using PCREs. However, these two options do not work together. The -f option only seems to work with fixed string rules.A friend previously helped me get around this limitation somehow, but I can't remember how he did it. I also would like the ability to add comments at the end of each rule in the file.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI was looking for a way to get the same or similar functionality as the Nokia PC Suite on Ubuntu 10.04. I did find a discussion here [url].
