I am working with bash scripting and running into a weird issue where the trailing newline characters are being truncated.The file contents are something like:
Code:
# Catting the file shows the trailing
characters
cat /tmp/junk
first line
second line
[Code]...
Since I am working with config files, some of the applications/daemons fail to start if they fail to find trailing newline characters
I have several (vhdl) files containing a pattern with newline characters that I need to replace by another pattern that also contains newline characters.
I start with something like:
Code:
I want to replace it by something like:
Code:
(I need to paste some lines)
As I need to do this (very) often I want to use a shell script.
I tried:

Code:
2.

result:
File remains unchanged
3.

4.

While modifying the definition of my PS1, I saw that "[" and "]" markers should be added to help bash to compute the right display lenght. Many exemples on the web do not use them or even mention them.I searched for a solution to add them automatically, like with sed, but I didn't find any example.Are they still needed and is there a recommandation not to use sed to define PS1?

I have a back-end server behind a proxy machine. I would like non-SSL requests to the proxy to be rewritten into HTTPS requests to the back-end server, while not screwing up URLs with missing or misplaced trailing URL slashes. So far, on the proxy side, I have this in a virtual host for port 80:
Code:
ReWriteEngine On
# trailing slash fix:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} my.proxy.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
[Code]...
But adding anything else to the URL fails, as the back-end server name gets stuck into the proxied [URL]... The rewrite log seems okay, I think. So I guess this is failing at the reverse proxy rule? Where am I going wrong?

I prefer to delete trailing slahes from pathes. Until now I used sed:
Code: $ myPath=/home/ladygaga///
$ echo "$myPath" | sed 's//*$//'
/home/ladygaga I played around to accomplish the same with on-board means of bash without using sed, but for example this line only deletes one trailing slash:
Code: $ myPath=/home/ladygaga///
$ echo ${myPath%/*}
/home/ladygaga// Is there a way to delete trailing slahes with just on-board means of bash?
What command could I use in terminal to delete all ASCII characters? That is, delete a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and all punctuation? I have a file containing Chinese characters, and I want to remove everything else and leave just the Chinese.
I can use grep to leave only the lines that have Chinese in them, but this still leaves a lot of non-Chinese stuff on those lines. Does anyone know how I could actually remove everything that isn't Chinese?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've noticed when I create a generic textfile in vim and have a trailing newline at the end of the file, when I open it with kate it has 2 new lines at the end of the file instead! This is on a fedora machine. The same behavior is observed when I copy the file over to my windows machine and open it in notepad++ (which is able to handle both unix and dos newlines) - 2 newlines instead of 1.
Feeling curious, I tried creating a textfile in vim on my ubuntu machine and used gedit to open it, but surprisingly gedit displayed it correctly - only 1 newline.
I'm writing a script to replace some text that exists in about 50 .lex, .y, and .cc source code files, sometimes more than once in a file. Sometimes the text is in a multiline C comment, and other times it's within a multiline C string.
I use sed to grab the start and end of each line and wrap the new text in the old whitespace and/or quotes and Problem is, sed is changing the characters into a newline.
Is there a way to tell sed to not process escape sequences? I tried using several variations of
Code:
To no avail. Or could it be bash?
I would give up on the script and do it by hand, but this is something that I must do from time to time.
Here's the function which replaces the first occurrence found:

When $post is printed by echo, it shows the - but by the time the file is on disk, it becomes a newline. What should I do to ensure that it stays as the characters ?
I have a tab delimited file. I need to replace the 7th tab with a new line.

I need to replace part of a line in a file with multiple lines, however need to separate each line with a newline is this possible?

On SUSE 11.2 when a CD or DVD is automounted (in the /media directory) it appears that the mount point chosen for the disk always has extra blanks at the end of the mount.
For example, if the label on the CD was DISK-001, the mount point chosen by SUSE is
/media/DISK-001 /
In 11.1 (and earlier) the mount point would have been
/media/DISK-001/
I'm assuming that the trailing blanks are filling in unused or blank chars at the end of the CD label.
Is there any way to change this annoying behavior? I much prefer NOT to have trailing blanks in the mount point.

I can't get x to work with a mouse so I have to use a windows computer to do that from for now. The problem is I remember there being something about windows using a newline AND carriage return and linux just using a newline. I was about to cut and paste code but the lines go on and on instead of breaking off where they did in linux. I was going to write a perl script but don't know how to add a carriage return to the end of each line.

I often use VNC to connect to my desktop upstairs using a laptop downstairs over my home network. I tunnel the VNC connection via SSH. The problem I keep running into is that I'll attempt to type a ! or a : or even a captial A and it will come across the wire as a 1, ;, or a respectively. Is this something I can fix?
