Apr 29, 2010I have to enhance the behaviour of a backup script written in perl. I don't need to change it, what I need to do is to create a bash script that does some checks like file name and file size, execute the backup script then check if the backup files match the original files.Here's how I try to do it:
- read the files from the original files folder
- store them in an array
- search in the array the files that have a specific file extension
- store the file names that match the search pattern (I know the backup script skips some files so I can hardcode the search pattern)
- run the backup script
- read the files from the backup folder
- store them in an array
- compare the original files name and size stored in an array with those from the backup folder
- send a report email

Programming :: Awk Command - Search Pattern To Look For Last Occurrence
May 11, 2011Any solution using awk/sed/regexp or other standard linux utility (this is for a mix of RH versions)? I am dealing with some very large application log files. I want to see everything that has been written to the log since the last application restart.
For an example take a log file like this:
Code:
# cat test.log
1 msg
2 msg
3 restart 1
4 msg
5 restart 2
6 msg
The following command is close to what I want:
Code:
# awk '/restart/,G' test.log
3 restart 1
4 msg
5 restart 2
6 msg
But the awk command grabs the first restart not the last. If it was working the way I wanted I would see something like this:
Code:
# awk '/restart/,G' test.log
5 restart 2
6 msg
So, I need something in that search pattern that says look for the last occurrence. I know how to do this with a pipe line - I could reverse the file and then do a similar awk and reverse back, or I could find the number associated with the last restart and then use that in the awk search. But these just take too long because the file is too big.
Programming :: Sed Command Stuff - Search For Pattern?
Oct 3, 2010I'm writing a script that edits a Maya ascii file. Inside the .MA(maya ascii file) there is a line defaultRenderGlobals. My script is supposed to find this line and according to what options they manipulate will update the lines below defaultRenderGlobals. I've got that working... but... the issue i'm having is that defaultRenderGlobals is only made when a the maya scene is made into a batch render. I want my script to manually addefaultRenderGlobals line into the .ma file if its not there and add the certain lines below it.RenderGlobals is already there I want to just manipulate whats below it. Hope this makes sense

General :: Using Grep / Awk To Search For Colored Text

The command's output has a range of colours signifying too many different things to specify using text, with colour being the only form of grouping.

Aug 30, 2009I'm writing a bash script to search html files, and when I find any occurrence of an img src tag like this:
<img src="123-picture-normal.jpg" alt="some random user entered text" border="0">
I want to add a second line below it that looks like:

Each file can have multiple img src tags with different numbered jpgs.
I have a feeling this is a job for sed, but I'm struggling with it. Any ideas?
General :: Search For Text Strings In Multiple PHP Files?

But this obviously doesn't work. $1 needs to be the file name that contains matching text.

General :: Search For Exact Repetitions In Text File
Nov 23, 2010I've got a big text file in which I know have probably made some typos (LaTeX). Sometimes I rewrite sentences several times and then end up with double pieces like "the the" or "is is" without noticing it. Most spell checkers that I can use in LaTeX are very basic so they do not notice these grammar errors. Is there a way that I can search for these repetitions by hand using sed or awk or something along these lines? Is there an app for that?
