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?
General :: String Replace In Filenames - Files Already Contain The String "Soundtrack"
Jun 11, 2011Moving right along, I have a folder of MP3 files containing various Movie sound tracks and scores. I'm using Audio Tag Tool to tag all the files at once with an "Artist" of "Soundtrack", and to inherit the "Title" tag from the file name. After that, I will rename all the files (Using Audio Tag Tool -- awesome program, btw) with the format "<Artist> - <Title>.mp3"
The problem, is many of my files already contain the string "Soundtrack", which would be redundant. I happen to be a perfectionist, so I'm unable to ignore it and move on. Hence my question to you fine folk: I want to delete all instances of "soundtrack" (-i case irrelevant) in the filenames before I go through the above steps. But, its not quite that simple. This is a sample of some of the file names:

Programming :: Pthread - Take String From The Command Line And Creates A Thread To Print The String
May 3, 2011I've been trying to understand pthread in C a little better. So I made a simple program that takes in a string from the command line and creates a thread to print the string. I've looked online and copied the basic concepts but there are something things I'm confused about. The programs works just fine, but I have questions. Here's what I have so far.
[Code]....
One thing I'd like to know is why the 3rd argument in the pthread_create function which is my SendMessage function needs to be typecasted to a void pointer and then send the address of the function. Also as for the 4th argument, I would see typecasting to void pointer in some of the pthread examples I saw online, but in my case I'm passing a char pointer, would this be correct? In which case would I ever want to pass a void pointer?
Do I need a pthread_exit(NULL) in my main and in the SendMessage function? If so, why? I added the sleep() function so that I could let the pthread_exit function in my SendMessage function execute first. I simply saw that the online examples on pthread had pthread_exit() in both locations.

Jul 13, 2010I'm facing problems in developing the script as there are errors that sometimes i dun have any idea on how to solve it.What i'm doing now is not homework, but i had been assigned to develop some system in linux.
My problem currently is on sub-string matter, where i need to read the line from file/directory and based on the line retrieved,i need to seperate the information in the line and assign as variable..
Below are my script:
Thus, the output something like this: file_name successfully ran on Mon Jul 12 23:15:00 SST 2009.
Now, what i need to do is to extract certain information from that line which is the name, date, time and the status
The desired output is:
So,my next step is to identify the sub-string and assigned as variable first in order to parse the info and output it.

General :: Sed Replace String Up To Tab
Dec 12, 2009I'd like a sed command to replace all decimal values greater than 0.5 with nothing in a tab delimited text file.
EX:
There would be one tab before 0.301 and two tabs after it. This way when you paste the text into an excel spreadsheet, there are empty cells where you deleted values.
I thought the sed command would be something like:
But this will delete everything.
What I need is something that will start deleting when it sees 0.[5-9] and stop when it reaches a tab. I know you can use [^character]+ to do this, but it doesn't seem to work with a TAB as the character.
Another idea I had would be to have sed replace from 0.[5-9] to 0. and replace with a tab + 0. But I also cant get [^0.]+ to work as it only works with single characters.

General :: Grabbing RE From String - Any Utility?
May 20, 2010What's the best command to use to grab just a regular expression from some text input? I've got is some input is in the form:
<uninteresting><start-marker><good stuff><end-marker><uninteresting>
I can construct a RE to match <start-marker>.*<end-marker>, but is there a utility that would return *just* the <good stuff> I'm interested in? I realise that the alternative is something along the lines of:
Code:
cat <input-file> | awk -F'start-marker' 'print ${2}' | awk -F'end-marker' 'print ${1}'
but it would be better if I could do it all in one go.
