I need to change all number 10 in a text file to word form, or in short from 10->ten. the thing is number 10 including in dates such as 10/22/1997 or 03-10-2011 should not be changed. im having some trouble because the file contains numbers like "price range from 10-50k".

im trying to output a list of running processes via a shell script. At the moment i got this which outputs the processes to a text file called out.
echo $(ps aux) >>out
The problem is though, the processes are all just one big block of text which makes it hard to read. Does anyone know how to sort the output to a text file so that it prints to the text file at 1 process per line? I know its probably simple but im very new to linux.

How could I replace text in one file with text from another file using sed?
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.

I need to be able to convert HTML email messages saved as text files (.eml or .msg) to PDF documents, one PDF per email, retaining formatting and images.
Are there any Linux tools that will allow me to do this from the command line (so it can be scripted)?

how to work properly on the windows forms application in c++.
the thing is that i was able to produce in the windows forms application a web browser and I added a save button. So know I am able to navigate predeclared webpages such as [URL]and then I entered google's search box such as "spread of H1N1". and I surf a page such as [URL] I later save the page as text file on my computer.
I wanted to know how to organize the words in the text file ? i mean how can i just get the number of infected people in USA , number of infected in CANADA (if they exist) from all the text file and change it to a file with precise data.that is to eliminate the unneeded information such as the the characteristics and the useless ideas? and what if i also wanted to know the characteristics of the virus in a country+the number of infected?. How can i do it?

I have a script that looks like:
Code:
cat servers.txt
trivia:P:N
trivia:D:N
tucana:P:Y
[code]....
I want to be able to find the lines that matches my input and change the N to a Y, but only for the lines that matches the name and not any other N's My problem is the line does not always contain a P as it can be a D as well so my matching did not work. If my script issues the name $1=triva the lines will change to:
Code:
trivia:P:Y
trivia:D:Y
I have the following code so far but as you can see it does not change the D's
Code:
sed -i 's/trivia:P:Y/trivia:P:N/g' servers.txt
*** UPDATE ***
should I be using a method as follows? I am still stuck on the changing all instances though.
Code:
$1=server
sed -i 's/$server1:P:Y/$server:P:N/g' server.txt
sed -i 's/$server1:D:Y/$server:D:N/g' server.txt

I have an ntfs partition that I wish to access as a normal user(non-root). For this I did the following. As root I created a folder /windows and did a chmod 777 -R on /windows. Then I added the following line to /etc/fstab
Code:
/dev/sda3 /windows ntfs-3g defaults,nosuid,nodev,umask=000 1 0
Now, the partition is mounted alright but the problem is that when any other user (non-root) creates a files in /windows (say by executing touch newfile) the newly created file has the owner and group set as root. The non-root user can create the file and he can also delete the file, however, he cannot change the permissions of the file and also the owner:group is always set as root:root. How do I get across this problem, i.e. how do I mount a partition, so that a non-root user can also change the permissions and ownerships of the files he creates.

I have a .txt-file with ~50.000 lines of numbers, generated by a mathematics program. From this file, I need line ~ 1.100 to line ~16.000 (these lines are always the same btw, this may make the solution easier, dunno) to be copy/pasted to another file, where the lines ~500 to ~15.000 (also, every time the same) should be overwritten by the aforementioned lines...I haven't found or come up with anything that works yet, mostly I find solutions to copy everything from one file to another but I can't find something to specifically overwrite a part of a file with part of another.

I want to be able to check the contents of a text file for a specific string and remove it from the file from the command prompt. I would basically be searching through a number of files and if a specific string is found I would like it removed automatically. pretty much a find and replace, were the replace is nothing. any one got any ideas on how you would do this. I already have the search part sorted just need to be able to remove the string I don't want from the multiple files.

i am writing a script for my ubuntu server and basically i want it to download a file that i specifically type in then take that file put it in a certain folder (note file may or may not be archived so i'd have to check for that) then add the name of that file to a text file.i know sounds strange but this is what i got so far:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "-----Star of Script-----"
echo "Please enter URL:"
read URL
cd testdir
wget $URL
//extraction here + delete original archive (rar,zip,anything :S)
echo name_of_file >> list.txt
echo "-----End of Script-----"
