I come from the Mac world, where I use [URL] to edit text from anywhere in Vim.
Is there anything like that on Linux ? I'm already using "It's All Text" in Firefox, but I'm looking for something broader.
Also, I've looked at this thread, but it's only solutions for software X, and software Y.
I'm needing to read the Adam's Assembly Tutorials, that are old EDIT *.txt files, I'm on Linux and I need to read this files.What can I do?Is there any GUI editor that can read the files?There is any way to convert them into another file that is more modern1?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using Ubuntu and looking for a good editor to edit a file that is > 4GB. I just need to put content at the end and beginning of the file. I suppose I could use something like
cat "text to add" >> huge_file
To append to the file. Is that the route to go? What about prepending? In general, what is the best route if I wanted to edit somewhere in the middle?
I've tried VIM and it fails miserably. I assume emacs and nano would be even worse. What else is there? I assume to accomplish what I am looking for, the editor would have to be specifically designed for this by not keeping the entirety of the file's contents in memory.
I use Ubuntu 10.04 and OpenOffice 3.2.We have forms we use for computers we sell. I have to fill out a profile. The problem is I cannot enter text into the text entry fields. I get this error:"Readonly content cannot be changed. No modifications will be accepted."Here is a link to one of the files. If you try to enter more that a digit or two in a text field, you get that error:[URL]

(1) My preferred File Management program, the one that kicks off when I use Places? and
(2) The amount of time before the display is put to sleep?
I DO NOT WANT TO USE A GUI FRONT END to do this. The reason is (1) my preferred File Manager, Xfe, is not listed as one of the options by Preferred Applications. And (2) Power Management Preferences allows 10 or 30 minutes before putting the display to sleep but I want 20 minutes. I need to know what files contain these configurations so I can edit them directly.
I just modified the grub file in 10.10 in order to see what the text line boot is like. Well now I want to go back, but when I try to gedit /etc/default/grub it gives an error that he couldn't display. How can I edit the file to go back to gnome???

I am trying to write a script to edit text files formatted like this:
Code:

There are never line breaks or spaces in the actual files.
I want to delete all instances of the character "@" and everything between it and the next "," (including that comma) or the next ")" (including that close parentheses) whichever comes first. My desired output file would be like this:
Code:
(MCAL,CGIG,(HASI,(CAPI,CFOR)0.160:0.00019)0.939:0.15648);
I figured out how to do this using sed for either "," or ")" but both looking for whichever comes first.

View 2 Replies View Relatedmay be an advanced question but I need to know how to do this. Here at work I am in charge of recruiting and we have about 1,000 resumes in already. All of the resumes are in a .pdf format. I need to rename every .pdf in the following format:{firstnameLastname}.pdfThe only way I know how to do this is to convert all the .pdf files to text, extract the name out of the first few lines of text, import into excel, and then use VBA to rename the files in mass:Here is my logic so far:~Deskop/a = houses all the .pdfresumesOpen terminal: Code: cd ~/Desktop/afor f in *.pdf; do pdftotext -raw $f; done That will convert all of the preceding resumes into text filesNow I would like to append the name of the text file into the last line of the text file. So, for example, for Resume1.txt, I want to append "Resume1.txt" to the last line within Resume1.txt. So after I run the command I open Resume1.txt and on the last line within I want to see "Resume1.txt" on the last line, at the end of the resume.How can I do this? I would like to use a loop and have the terminal append the filename to the body of the text file until all of the have been appended.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was trying to install GTK+-2.8.20, so I installed it's necessary dependencies in this order:
pkg-config-0.23
glib-2.20.4
pango-1.24.4
jpeg library
tiff library
cairo
And I was about to install the last dependency: ATK (Accessability Toolkit).I opened the Archive Manager to extract the "atk-1.26.0.tar.gz" file (yes, I'm still switching from Windows so I'm fond of GUI), but I noticed all the text in that window was boxes, like the □ type box for every letter of text.So instead I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, because the terminal and regular windows weren't screwed up.I opened a text file in gedit (reference to commands in terminal, such as how to extract files via terminal), but yet again all of the text was □-like boxes.
Currently, when I'm searching text in files of my PHP project, I use this line :
Code:
grep -r 'myTextToFind' *
But now, I would like to search only in ".lang" files. How can I do that ?
EDIT1: I should note that I was trying to do this in PERL, not sure if other alternatives are more simple?EDIT2: I should note that for text file 3 (reference), it's a long list of MANY cnp_id values and their corresponoding chr, start, and end values. So, the code will have to take the cnp_id from text file 1 and/or 2 and search through textfile 3 (reference) to match on the cnp_id and then take the corresponding chr, start, and end values and add to the relevant line in the output.EDIT3: Sorry, I should mention that the text file entries are all tab-delimited.I have 3 text files:File 1:Columns represent sample IDs (sample_id) and rows represent CNP IDs (cnp_id). Cells represents the confidence level (confidence) for each sample and CNP.Quote:

can I change the ECC code for a block of a file stored on a flash drive by any means ? of a file stored on a HDD (though I don't think there would be a difference between the two)Maybe , through some hardware interrupts or anything like that?Also if possible I need the solution to be in C/C++.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to change one word in over a thousand pages of HTML. I think sed is the only way to do this, but I've never used sed before.
After reading the documentation, I see that it is pretty easy to alter files to standard output, in other words, the screen.
But I don't want to do just alter text to the screen, I want to alter the original file, else I am not doing any Stream EDiting as near as I can tell.
None of the documentation explains how to take a file, apply sed to alter that file. How do you do this?
Code:
[myuser@myhost dir]#sed s/changethis/tothis/ /mydir/myfile
How do I apply sed to actually make the changes to myfile?
I am having big trouble with rc.local on my system.My system is CentOS 5.5 64X.My default startup is is 3, so rc3.d is where I was looking into.rc.local with permissions 755.Inorder to solve the problem I made the following test
.
1. No matter how I edit rc.local, it will not be executed, even a copy from other Linux system that runs rc.local fine.
2. All S99 service under rc3.d won't run when S99local is there.
3. All service executed just fine if S99local removed from rc3.d.
4. If I change S99local to S97local, Anything in S97, S98, S99 won't run.
5. I tested rc.local with Code:echo "rc.local is executed just fine" >> /root/test.txt by adding it after "touch /var/lock/subsys/local" [FAILED, test.txt not found after restart]
6. I tried to execute rc.local with Code:sh /etc/rc.local it was SUCCESSFULLY executed without any error, and everything in rc.local runs fine.

I setup a cron job to trigger a script that I wrote every morning at 12:00 AM, but it does not seem to be working.
This is how I edit the job using crontab -e
Why it isn't triggering at 12:00 am every night. If I run the script manually it works just fine so I know is not the script causing troubles.
I want something like
Code:
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=~/ros:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
to be done already for me when I open a new terminal. How do I edit the .bashrc so that this variable is always set already?
I am learning vi and like it so far. I am writing Python code with it and would like to change my tabs from 8 spaces to 4.

The text in each of the files would be surrounded by a starting and ending delimiter or a starting tag, say like /* */ so to easily find them.

This page says that it can be done, but I think that it assumes that you are using gedit on ubuntu. On my mac (os 10.5.8) I don't have the "bookmark" option when I click "connect to server".

I am not a big skype user, but I was chatting with my sister, made a typo and habitually typed
tpyo
s/tpyo/typo/
to my surprise it actually changed the history. I am using the linux skype client 2.1.0.47-r1 and my sister is using 4.something on windows.
When she tried to do the same thing, it didn't work. Does anyone know if this is specific to the linux version?
My computer's fine, and is running Puppy Linux happily, but I'm having trouble entering my BIOS menu (I forget the access key, and no matter which keys I try, Puppy Linux boots up).

I have gone over the thread "Learn The DD Command Revised" (It was Fantastic) in the search for a solution to my query.
I have seen posted elsewhere that this code is supposed to be able to change the UUID number of NTFS partitions (useful when multi-booting with Grub2 and cloning partitions). Here is the code:
Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/urandom bs=80 count=1 | xxd -l 80 -c 8 | tail -1 | xxd -r - /dev/sda1
This is assuming that I want to change the UUID on the 1st partition on the 1st hard drive >>>sda1<<<
If I was trying to modify the 2nd partition on the 1st hard drive it would be >>>sda2<<<
[Code].....
NOTE: I was doing this while booting from Ubuntu's Live CD version 10.04.1 LTS (In case that is a factor)
I am new to shell script and need to edit an xml form script.
The XML file is something like code...
If the user selects element1, the script should modify only element1 values and not element2 values.
I need it to be done from bash script. I can't use python or perl for the same. Please provide me a way to do so.
I need to have regular user run this command sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
but it requires root privileges that I cannot give.
So I figured they could run the command as "sudo". I looked in /etc/sudoers and wasn't sure what I needed to edit for the users to run the following command
sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
