Something I find myself doing a lot is running a find command and then editing all of them in vi, which looks something like this:
> find . "*.txt"
./file1.txt
./file2.txt
./path/to/file3.txt
> vi ./file1.txt ./file2.txt ./path/to/file3.txt
Is there a clever & simple way to do this all in one command line?
Im trying to change a group to have read write and execute permissions on everything in the system through command prompt, some people told me to edit the /etc/group file but i don't have a file that exists there under that name, but the group does already exist, i just don't know where its located. Anyone have a clue where i can check or what to do ?

Is there a way to use gedit on my mac to edit files remotely over an ssh connection?
This page says that it can be done, but I think that it assumes that you are using gedit on ubuntu. On my mac (os 10.5.8) I don't have the "bookmark" option when I click "connect to server".

I have a directory with hundreds of html files.
For all the files I have to:
- delete all the row from the beginning of the file to the sentence "<img src="immagini/_navDxBottom.gif" />".
- delete all the rows from the sentence "<br clear="right" />" to the end of the file.
How can I do that?

I am trying to do a find/grep/wc command to find matching files, print the filename and then the word count of a specific pattern per file. Here is my best (non-working) attempt so far:
wc `find . ( -name "*.as" -o -name "*.mxml" ) -exec grep -H HeightResizableList {}` ;
Is there a way to specify to find that I only want text files (and not binary files)? Grep has an option to exclude binary files, so I thought find probably has a similar feature, but I've been unable to find it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI suspect that this has come up numerous times, but I am new to Linux and I am setting up a new in-house server using Ubuntu 9.04 and Apache, etc. I can see the welcoming "It Works!" message when I log in via Firefox. I can see "index.html" when I FTP the server with the site name and password at /var/www. I can also see the -rw-r-r-- attributes, but I can't edit the HTML file or replace it. When I try to rename the "index.html" file.
I get the following message: "Request denied. Verify that the file or folder exists and that you have the necessary permissions on the server to perform the requested operation."
I haven't been able to determine where to enter the password or what changes I need to make to be able to work with the /var/www directory via FTP.

I am playing around with pthreads. This program however blows up.
#include <iostream>
#include <pthread.h>
using namespace std;
struct myStruct
{
int a;
string msg;
};
void * myProc(void *arg)
{
struct myStruct* str = new struct myStruct();
str->a = 10;
str->msg ="hi";
return (void*)str;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
pthread_t mythr;
int status ;
void *retVal;
struct myStruct* m_str;
status = pthread_create(&mythr,NULL,myProc,NULL);
status = pthread_join(mythr,&retVal);
cout<<"Status is"<<status<<endl;
m_str = (struct myStruct*)m_str;
cout<<"retval is "<<m_str->a<<" "<<endl;
return 0;
}
Can a structure be returned by a thread as its return value ?

I used following command to sort one day older log files
Quote:
find /opt/TimesTen/tt_transaction_log/ -name "mtsDB.log*" -mtime +1 -print
following are log files which are existing, I have to delete one day older files from this location but when use above mentioned command it won't print one day older files, as i understand "-mtime" modified time, "+1" means one day older. am i correct?
Code:
-rw-rw-rw- 1 ablddb dba 268435456 May 30 17:11 mtsDB.log126985
-rw-rw-rw- 1 ablddb dba 268435456 May 30 17:17 mtsDB.log126986
