Ubuntu :: Disable Autocopy / Highlight To Copy?
May 7, 2010I believe this to be a gnome issue because it happens on both my Ubuntu 10.04 systems and my Fedora 12 system.
What is happing is that it auto copies any text that I highlight, in any app, so, for example, if I highlight a URL on a web site, copy it, then highlight the URL in the address bar and paste it, it will have auto copied the URL that was already in the address bar overwriting the one I just copied of the web site.
This is starting to drive me nuts.
OpenSUSE :: Mouse Highlight For Copy / Paste Stopped Working
Feb 2, 2010I just noticed that highlighting text and middle button clicking no longer copies and pastes as it has it has been for years. I haven't upgraded anything or installed any new software so this is a bit confusing for me. How I may restore this function? BTW, it doesn't work anywhere, terminal, firefox, etc. For clarity, the mouse itself works, I can point, click, etc... it is just the copy/paste function that has failed -disappeared- Using Suse and KDE desktop

General :: Awk Gsub() Command - String (column) Manipulation - Replace The Value Of The $1 Column In The Awk Print String?
Mar 7, 2010i use this script to get the time and date of back and fourth transactions for a particular execution id. I use a substr command on the 5th column to to cut the milli seconds off the time value. - otherwise the times would look like 08:30:04.235
grep <executionID> <auditfile> | awk '{ print $1, $2, $3, $4, substr($5,1,8}
FIX -> Mon 3/1/2010 08:30:04
FIX <- Mon 3/1/2010 08:32:36
FIX <- Mon 3/1/2010 08:35:08
[code].....
anyhow - i append two sed commands to further clarify the direction of the message.
awk '{ print $1, $2, $3, $4, substr($5,1,8} | sed -e 's/->/ ->IN/g' | sed -e 's/<-/<-OUT/g'
FIX -> IN Mon 3/1/2010 08:30:04
FIX <- OUT Mon 3/1/2010 08:32:36
[code]....
I tried using an awk gsub () command within the string instead of the two seds, but it did not work:
awk '{ print gsub(/<regex>/, <replace with>,$1), $2, $3, $4, substr($5,1,8}
the sed works ok, but it would be cooler to make the replacement within the awk command:
gsub(/->/,-> IN, $1)
Is there a way where i could replace the value of the $1 column in the awk print string?

Jan 18, 2011I have a two column file and I need to create a new column in between the first and second but the new column adds a value to the first. E.g.code...
I thought I had figured out how to do it with the following but it just hangs:
awk -F '{print $0,$0+25,$1}' file_in > file_out
Also tried the following to no avail:
awk -F,-v OFS,'{print $0,$0+25,$1}' file_in > file_out
I can add the new column with the added value to the last column easy ( awk '{print $0,$0+25}' file_in > file_out).

General :: Copy A Read-Only File And Make The Copy Writable With A Single Cp Command?
Mar 1, 2011How to copy a Read-Only file in Linux and make the copy writable with a single cp command in Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)? The --no-preserve and --preserve seemed to be good candidates, except that they should "and" the mode flags, while what I am looking for is something that will "or" them (add +w mode).
More details: I have to import a repository from GIT to Perforce. I want that all Perforce depot files are Read-Only (that is how Perforce was designed), while all other files that were derived/copied from depot files are writable. Currently if a Makefile tries to copy a Read-Only file then the derived file will also be Read-only. This leads to build-errors when cp tries to overwrite Read-Only file second time. Of course the --force is a workaround here but then the derived file is also Read-Only. Also I do not want to mess with "chmod" after each "cp" command - I will do that only as the last resort.

General :: Column Manipulation In Bash Script
Mar 19, 2010I have a text file and I need to replace the 3rd column of that file from row 3 to the end of the file with a column which I have stored in the different text file. For e.g the original file is like given below:
a.txt nobla 6 gadf 72.500 1.600 1.800 .850 5.250 8.540
A# rad ang ht prf bk sd dia type blade
1 0.3081 9.00 1.9235 -17.50 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1613 1
2 0.6509 194.00 2.0316 -17.50 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1613 4
3 1.0128 8.00 2.1457 -17.50 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1616 1
4 1.3748 192.00 2.2598 -17.50 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1616 4
5 1.6986 7.00 2.3619 -17.50 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1616 1
6 1.9347 120.00 2.4364 -17.51 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1616 5
7 2.1327 190.00 2.4988 -17.34 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1616 4
So lets say I wanna replace column 3 from row 3 to row 7 with a data from another file which is given below:
54.00
239.00
53.00
237.00
52.00
165.00
235.0
So the final output file should be like this:
a.txt nobla 6 gadf 72.500 1.600 1.800 .850 5.250 8.540
A# rad ang ht prf bk sd dia type blade
1 0.3081 54.00 1.9235 -17.50 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1613 1
2 0.6509 239.00 2.0316 -17.50 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1613 4
3 1.0128 53.00 2.1457 -17.50 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1616 1
4 1.3748 237.00 2.2598 -17.50 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1616 4
5 1.6986 52.00 2.3619 -17.50 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1616 1
6 1.9347 165.00 2.4364 -17.51 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1616 5
7 2.1327 235.00 2.4988 -17.34 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1616 4
And I will post the code whatever i have tried soon. I started with awk and cut commands..but never got it to work and also tried PASTE command too.
General :: Extract One Complete Column From LS Output
Oct 2, 2010What I need to do is to extract one complete column (file size) from the output of ls -lS but while doing so in some rows I have a single space but in some other rows I have 2 or 3 spaces like some file sizes are different with 30 bytes 400 bytes and some 4000 bytes. So when I extract the output of ls using | cut -d ' ' -f5 i get the value which has only one space i.e. I get 4000 as output because 400 has 2 spaces seperated and 30 is 3 spaces separated. So how to get the file size column from the ls output?
