View 2 Replies View RelatedI need a bash script that can read a file, say example.txt search for the string "This is my example string" and save whatever word/number comes immediately after it to a variable, var.
Example:
blah blah
blah This is my example string extracthere is a very nice word.
blah blah
There are two constraints:1. This needs to assume as little as possible about the nature of the known string "This is my example string" and the word that follows it. I am trying to keep my code adaptable.2. Speed is valuable. This shell will be executed dozens if not hundreds of times so speed is very desirable. I thought I read that some commands are faster than others.
I want to replace a string of directory path in a string to empty:

This gives the desired outcome, but its specific, i need a variable in the sed not a string. And if I replace STRING="/mnt/sda1/record/$dd/" then I cant use it for something else, cause its has all the weird backslashes now.

I need to extract a price from a string, this may vary in the future so it may be 12.99 or 14.99. i thought a sed command might crack it and i need to write to a file:<td><b class="priceLarge">?6.99</b>I need to extract the price 6.99(with no ?)so extract anyhting between "> and </B> and write it to a file such as tmp1.txt .

i use this script to get the time and date of back and fourth transactions for a particular execution id. I use a substr command on the 5th column to to cut the milli seconds off the time value. - otherwise the times would look like 08:30:04.235
grep <executionID> <auditfile> | awk '{ print $1, $2, $3, $4, substr($5,1,8}
FIX -> Mon 3/1/2010 08:30:04

anyhow - i append two sed commands to further clarify the direction of the message.
awk '{ print $1, $2, $3, $4, substr($5,1,8} | sed -e 's/->/ ->IN/g' | sed -e 's/<-/<-OUT/g'

I tried using an awk gsub () command within the string instead of the two seds, but it did not work:
awk '{ print gsub(/<regex>/, <replace with>,$1), $2, $3, $4, substr($5,1,8}
the sed works ok, but it would be cooler to make the replacement within the awk command:
gsub(/->/,-> IN, $1)
Is there a way where i could replace the value of the $1 column in the awk print string?
what's the equivalent code of Perl?sed -i 777,2545!d somefileObviously it extract lines of somefile between that 2 digits .
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to understand pthread in C a little better. So I made a simple program that takes in a string from the command line and creates a thread to print the string. I've looked online and copied the basic concepts but there are something things I'm confused about. The programs works just fine, but I have questions. Here's what I have so far.
[Code]....
One thing I'd like to know is why the 3rd argument in the pthread_create function which is my SendMessage function needs to be typecasted to a void pointer and then send the address of the function. Also as for the 4th argument, I would see typecasting to void pointer in some of the pthread examples I saw online, but in my case I'm passing a char pointer, would this be correct? In which case would I ever want to pass a void pointer?
Do I need a pthread_exit(NULL) in my main and in the SendMessage function? If so, why? I added the sleep() function so that I could let the pthread_exit function in my SendMessage function execute first. I simply saw that the online examples on pthread had pthread_exit() in both locations.
Moving right along, I have a folder of MP3 files containing various Movie sound tracks and scores. I'm using Audio Tag Tool to tag all the files at once with an "Artist" of "Soundtrack", and to inherit the "Title" tag from the file name. After that, I will rename all the files (Using Audio Tag Tool -- awesome program, btw) with the format "<Artist> - <Title>.mp3"
The problem, is many of my files already contain the string "Soundtrack", which would be redundant. I happen to be a perfectionist, so I'm unable to ignore it and move on. Hence my question to you fine folk: I want to delete all instances of "soundtrack" (-i case irrelevant) in the filenames before I go through the above steps. But, its not quite that simple. This is a sample of some of the file names:

I have a line in a text file that has 40 random characters within a tag and i want to change the characters to a new set of 40 random characters (alphanumeric a-z 0-9 etc)

I have a String that I would like to sign using a given RSA Private key. I thought this would be relatively easy but I have not been able to find out how to do it, unless I'm looking to far into a simple problem. Do i have to put the string into a file, and sign the file, or can i just sign the string/message?

So if I'm given a location of a file like:
How can I just take the type of the file at the end? I know I can use strrchr() for a period to get the pointer to the period just before file type. Is there a build in string function that will just take the rest of the string from a certain point on forward in the string? I know it wouldn't be much work to make it myself, but I figured I would find out if it already existed before doing it.

I need to search for a user provided string, say 999-9999999, in the big file. Then I have to extract the single report. My logic is simple,
1) find 999-9999999

3) forward search for "End of Report", note down the line number
4) extract the record by using info found from step 2) and 3).
