Red Hat / Fedora :: Bash - Echo Multiple Numeric Values On One Line
Aug 9, 2009I'm trying to get multiple numeric valued version information into a variable, all on the same line. I want for example $VERSION=3.1.0.01.002. I'm trying to pull seperate values from the file named version.properties, wherein the file contains;
patch.rel.num=0
sqa.num=01
major.rel.num=3
build.num=002
minor.rel.num=1
So I have the following script:
#!/bin/bash
BUILDVERFILE="version.properties"
PATCH=`grep "patch.rel.num" ${BUILDVERFILE} | awk {'print $1'}`
SQA=`grep "sqa.num" ${BUILDVERFILE} | awk {'print $1'}`
MAJOR=`grep "major.rel.num" ${BUILDVERFILE} | awk {'print $1'}`
BUILD=`grep "build.num" ${BUILDVERFILE} | awk {'print $1'}`
MINOR=`grep "minor.rel.num" ${BUILDVERFILE} | awk {'print $1'}`
P=`echo $PATCH | tr -d .=[:alpha:]`
S=`echo $SQA | tr -d .=[:alpha:]`
MA=`echo $MAJOR | tr -d .=[:alpha:]`
B=`echo $BUILD | tr -d .=[:alpha:]`
MI=`echo $MINOR | tr -d .=[:alpha:]`
VERSION=$MA.$MI.$P.$S.$B
echo $VERSION #
I end up with the value of .002 ?? Seems like it's only getting the last portion because if I run the script thru "bash -x" I get:
...
+ VERSION=$'3
.1
.0
.01
.002
'
+ echo $'3
.1
.0
.01
.002
'
.002

General :: Bash - Add Text At The Beginning Of A Line
Feb 28, 2011I have a lot a folders, each named by a number, and in each of these folders I have a specific file (stddev.dat) containing a single line (of numbers) I need to have a single file with each line being one of the stddev.dat (no matter if it is sorted or not), and also I need to add at the begining of each line the number of the folder it comes from.
I 'm no bash expert, and the "add at the begining of the line" is a bit of problem to me". Here is what I've come up with so far, just to put everything in one file, (and also if you know a better/more elegant way to do the same thing I've done, I'm listening)

General :: Getting Numbers From A Line Of Text?
May 10, 2010 I'm working with a rather large file of data taking from a tracking program on my phone, and trying to pull only the longitude and latitude from it. Any given line in the data looks more or less like this:
{"lon":-122.3083848,"time":1.273515839496E9,"source":"skyhook","nap":28,"altitude":0,"name":"location","hpe" :29,"bearing":0,"ncell":0,"lat":47.6544453}
I've run it through this command:
grep skyhook log-2010-05-10_18-17-28.json | cut -d"," -f1,10
to get this:
{"lon":-122.30872015,"lat":47.65812201}
{"lon":-122.3076686,"lat":47.6569975}
{"lon":-122.3079161,"lat":47.656395}
{"lon":-122.3096168,"lat":47.656218}
{"lon":-122.3096285,"lat":47.656206}
Which is a lot nicer, but I would prefer not to have to hand remove the non-number characters by hand since there are thousands of data points. what I could do to get it to just be longitude and latitude in 'number number' format?

Programming :: Delete Line Of Text From Text File Via Shell?
Jan 13, 2010I have to delete a certain line of text from the a textfile via ubuntu's shell scripting.I have done research, and it seems that most people advocate the usage of sed /d option. sed makes does not edit the text file. Hence, most options I discovered involved the use of a temporary variable/textfile and then overwriting the old file with the temporary new file. Is there anyway whereby I can bypass the use of temporary storage containers? I hope there is any magical combination of commands to edit the file directly.

Programming :: Perl - Delete Line From Text File With Duplicate Match At Beginning Of Line
Apr 1, 2009Was wondering if any perl guru's could help me with a quick log file adjustment. I have a text file that looks like so (tabs and newlines are revealed so you can see what separates the data):
There are maybe 100 lines of text in this file at any given time. I need to delete all duplicate lines only looking at the first bit of text prior to the first tab. It doesn't matter which one gets deleted as long as there are no two lines that begin with that same text at the beginning before the first tab. So in this example, either the fist line "1234" or the last line "1234" would need to be deleted. I already have code in my script that opens the files - I just need the code to read the text into an array and the part that would find matches based on the above criteria, and make the deletions.
If it would be easier, I can even do a system call and use SED (v4.1.5) and/or AWK (3.1.5) instead.
Programming :: Using Python To Merge Two Text Files Line For Line
Jul 6, 2010I'm a bit new to Python programming and hoped that someone might be able to help with a problem I'm having. What I essentially want to do is to combine two text files line for line. I know how to do this in a bash script so to give you a better idea here's the code for that:
Code:
This is basically for adding on values to the end of a CSV file that uses ';' as the delimiter. So say file1 said:
And file2 said:
Then running this command would create merged_file1_and_file2 which would be:
The code I'm using at the moment is:
Code:
As I'm sure any experienced python programmer will see, this prints out the first line of the file "csvraw" and then all of the lines of "stamps" and then the remainder of "csvraw".
What I'd like to do is something like: (pseudo code, I know it's not python ;-))
Code:
Is this possible? I've tried googling and my Python Pocket Reference hasn't been much help. I've looked at pickling but that doesn't seem appropriate.
