General :: Append At A New Line If The Old Line Is Non Empty?
Feb 12, 2011
I want to append at a new line if the old line is non empty. so it would be something like
Code:
1
2
3//dont add here
Code:
1
2
3
//add here
but if sometimes there could be extra empty line, then add at the empty line. So the script needs to detect whether or not the last line is empty. i figured out the symbol for a new line pattern is ^ so it would probably be sed "a^stuff here"is this right? but i dont seem to get the right result

The s means substitute
The $ in this particular regex (regular expression) means end of the line.
The ; is what you're subbing. This works fine and well, but what if you want to append a / at the end of the line?
sed 's/$///' filename doesn't work.

I am looking for a way to delete the currently entered commandline without wasting seconds on the "Backspace"-key.
For example I scrolled the bash history and have a long commandline that would execute when I pressed ENTER:
~$ aptitude search openssl | grep dev
But now I decide that I do not want to execute this command. Can I get an empty prompt fast without deleting the whole line with Backspace? On the Windows "cmd" you can just press ESCAPE and it is gone. This behavior would be what I want.
The question may seem trivial but this is bothering me for a long time now.

What I am trying to achive is the editing of /etc/ssh/sshd_config I have the line
Code: AllowUsers usera userb
And I want to be able to append to the end of this line from a bash script.I have muddled together from other sites and got the following:-
Code: sed -e "s/^AllowUsers/� userc/" -i /etc/ssh/sshd_config
But this appears to add userc directly after AllowUsers and not after userb

Is there a vim command or sequence of commands that will append the current line into the clipboard? Given the example below:
4
5
3
1
2
Lets say I wanted to cut 3, 4, 5 (in that order) then paste them below 2 so that the numbers are in order?

I am thinking of appending something to each line in a text file with Java. I prefer not write a new file with content appended from the old one.That 'something' would probably be Time Stamp when the file is created (which is same for each line).I am not sure Java provide some easy way for it or not

I'm building kickstart files for my various machines.On my xen virtualization servers, I'm trying to get dom0_mem=512M added to the grub kernel line. Unfortunately, the bootloader --append option gets added to the linux kernel line, not the xen kernel line, which doesn't have the desired effect.Is there another way to put this into the kickstart file or should I use sed to put it into grub.conf in my post install section?

I have two files, file1.traj and file2.traj. Both these files contain identical data and the data are arranged in same format in them. The first line of both files is a comment.
At line 7843 of both files there is a cartesian coordinate X, Y and Z ( three digits ). And at line 15685 there is another three digits. The number of lines in between two cartesian coordinates are 7841. And there are few hundreds of thousands of lines in a file.
What I need to do is copy the X Y Z coordinate (three digits) from file1.traj at line 7843 and paste into file2.traj at the same line number as in file1.traj. The next line will be 15685 from file1.traj and replace at line 15685 at file2.traj. And I dont want other lines (data) in file2.traj get altered. This sequence shall be going on until the end of the file. Means copy and substitude the selected lines from file1.traj into file2.traj.
I tried to use paste command but I cant do for specified line alone.
Here i showed the data format in the file. I used the line number for clarity purpose.

After running the following command, I get:
[root@yukiko /]# find / -iname .bashrc
/home/clamav/.bashrc
/home/vpopmail/.bashrc
/etc/skel/.bashrc
/root/.bashrc
But I would like to have a command that prints a specific line by supplying the command with the line number, for example:
[root@yukiko /]# find / -iname .bashrc | getline(2)
/home/vpopmail/.bashrc
Is there such a command on CentOS?

I am trying to write a script that takes an input file ($FileName) and an intermediate file ($FileName.info) and removes lines from $FileName if the value in $2 of $FileName.info is <75.
I can't figure out how to feed only one line of the .info file to the if statement at a time so that it will perceive it as an integer instead of a list.
The error I am getting now is ./script.sh: line 6: [: : integer expression expected
Sample input $FileName

I've written a script to parse a file and print each line that ends with matching pattern, if the next line is blank. The pattern lines are the result of md5sum $i|sed 's/path///g' so that only md5 and filename appear. Here's what I'm using.
Quote:
for fline in `sed -n '/.*.ext$/p' file1`
do
if [ "`sed -n -e '/'"$fline"'/ {n; p;}' file1`" == "" ]
then
echo ""$fline" has no info" >>file2
fi
done

I am combining data from a couple different input files and creating an output file in a specific format. I notice that if I use the >> operator, information gets appended to a new line in my output file. This is useful, but if I'd like to append onto the CURRENT line, is there an easy way to do this? I've been googling around and see lots of complicated answers, nothing that suggests to me an easy way to do this. For example, if my output file looks like this:
b1a:] cat test
hello my name is
b1a:]
and I'd simply like to append "Bob", how can I do it? If I use
b1a:] echo Bob >> test
b1a:] cat test
b1a:] hello my name is
Bob
b1a:]
So what I would prefer is some command that would create the result:
hello my name is Bob

The 2 files contain filenames, one of them has associated data I want to append to the other file's matching filenames

file2:
I append file2 by matching the unique_filenames and appending them with the tag data and some formatting

Greetings, I have installed a VMware host on Windows 7 64bit and followed with a 10.04LTS 64 bit guest install. Everything went smooth. I have used VMware before, but the other way around.. Linux host and Windows guest.
So this time I am installing the VMWare tools on the guest, ubuntu 10.04, but it seems to be failing. The vmware tools install ran fine the first time with no errors, but I was getting the follwoing error after logging into the Ubuntu guest afterwards.
Could Not Apply the Start Configuration for Monitors
Error Line 1: Char 1 Whitespace or empty file
So I re installed the VMware tools once again, but still the same.
I am hoping that someone here has come across this before and hs a workaround. I don't think the vmware tools was installed correctly.

I have no problem grepping lines containing the string LGIG but I'm lost how to translate that to line number and shift up one line number for each instance of that string.
