Aug 3, 2011This is weird, and I never noticed before, but now I have an application that is borking on weird things like when /etc/hosts is of one file format or another, and I don't even know the difference between the two (google doesn't tell much either). on CentOS 5.5/5.6 x86_64: a which on the following is an interesting tell:
vi = /bin/vi
vim = /usr/bin/vim
both are actually vim version 7.0.237 but sum differently, and although they are both actually separate executables in the stock installs of CentOS I've been building, on most distros, and older versions of CentOS it seems, vi is usually just a symlink to vim - but again, not in these fresh installs it seems. When I create a file with the 'vi' above, it defaults (usually) to "ASCII text" (but not always) When I create a file with the 'vim' above, it defaults to "ASCII English text" (and causes a particular application I'm working with to bork and barf). It seems the OS is installed by default yielding both file types too, as evidenced by the following:

General :: Convert A Large Number Of File Types From None Standard To Text?
Sep 28, 2009I have on my windows machine several hundred files that are a format of .nc .ncs for a CNC machine. I need to convert them to txt which is something as easy as opening in notepad and then saving as .txt but there are so many that this kind of action would take way too long.
The reason I am writing the linuxquestions is because I would feel more comfortable in loading a live CD and using some sort of terminal command to do this than I would to download one of the many "freeware" type programs I have found for windows (even more so since I have had a root kit before and had to start all the way over to get rid of it).
I need to know:
1. Is this possible to do with the terminal without super advanced knowledge.
2. Can one please point me in the right direction; something to read or an example

General :: Convert The Numbers Back Into Their Corresponding ASCII Character
May 19, 2010To encrypt the text, we take the word "python" and make it at least the same size as "welcome home" by repeating it as follows:
w e l c o m e h o m e
p y t h o n p y t h o n
Then, we convert each letter into its numerical ASCII value as follows:
w e l c o m e h o m e = 119 101 108 099 111 109 101 032 104 111 109 101

Networking :: ASCII / Binary FTP Transfer Modes
Sep 14, 2009I had a problem with the old good ascii/binary FTP transfer modes. I transferred some files (SQL scripting files, in which carriage returns DO matter) using FTP from a windows system to a linux system using filezilla "auto" mode, that should have resulted in ASCII mode for my sql files. These files are well formed and identical to the originals.
Then, someone else picked these files and moved them to another ftp server. I finally found that all <CR><LF> couples have been transformed in <CR><CR><LF>. I guessed that the problem was in the ASCII transfer mode - but, how comes that <CR><LF> => <CR><CR><LF>? I would have rather expected <CR><LF> to become <CR>.

General :: Unconvert Text File From Binary Format
Dec 28, 2010I've got a rather large CSV file (~700MB) which I know to consist of lines of 27-character alpha-numeric hashes; no commas or anything fancy. Somehow, during its migration from Windows to Linux (via winSCP and then a few regular SCPs), it has converted into some kind of binary format I am unfamiliar with.If I open the file in vi, everything appears fine, and it says [converted] at the bottom, although I know it's not a line endings issue (and dos2unix doesn't help). If I 'head' the file, it looks proper except for a " at the beginning of the first line. If I open up the file in nano, however, I see the at the start and then "^@" before every character (even newlines and EoF).
If I try to re-save or copy the file (say via: head file.csv > short.txt), this special encoding is preserved. I copied the first ten lines out of vi (which displays it properly) into my Windows clipboard via my SSH client, then pasted it into a new text file, test.txt. This file is visually identical when opened in vi (and similar through 'head', minus the ), although it's roughly half of the filesize. I have no idea what format this once-text file got converted to (it's notoriously hard to search the internet for symbols), but surely there must be some way to convert it back.

Programming :: Prepend To ASCII Text File In C?
Jun 15, 2010To start off I would like to acknowledge that I am not a very good C programmer and pretty much everything I know has been self taught through mostly trial and error. So forgive me if there is an obvious answer to my question, or if I don't immediately grasp the concepts involved in the possible solution.
Basically, I'm writing an application which will be creating log file entries rather rapidly (potentially hundreds per minute), and I would like each new line to appear at the top of the log file, rather than the end. Opening a text file in append mode is easy enough, but I can't seem to find any obvious way to do the opposite.
I have been looking online and it seems that there exists no standard way to do this, and I have only been able to find a few mentions of how somebody might achieve it. The most common method seems to be using two files and copying the data back and forth between them. This seems like it would be insanely I/O intensive with the number of lines I'm likely to be generating. If this is the best method to use, I will give it a shot; though I am not 100% clear on how to implement it, I am also open to any other ideas as to how to accomplish this, and I don't have to worry about portability since the program already uses Linux-only libraries. So calling out to sed or something is not necessarily out of the question (though I imagine performance would also be an issue there).
General :: Isolate A Number From A Text File Using Sed?
Mar 27, 2010I'm trying to isolate a number from a text file using sed. The text file looks like this:
-GARBAGE-GARBAGE-GARBAGE- Number of frames: 183933 frames Codec -GARBAGE-GARBAGE-GARBAGE-
I tried the following:
Code:
sed "s/^.*Number of frames: //g; s/ frames Codec.*$//g" "info.txt" > "frames.txt"
Strangely, it only seems to be stripping off the end, but not the beginning, like so:
-GARBAGE-GARBAGE-GARBAGE- Number of frames: 183933
I'm obviously not using the command correctly, so what am I doing wrong?
