i'm just curious if i can search for the dir/file pattern in the single "find" command?
here is an example:
dir1/dir2/dir3/file.txt
dirXX/dirYY/dir2/dir3/file.txt
dir1/dir4/dir3/file.txt
i want to search for the pattern "dir2/dir3/file.txt"
I want to search a file for a particular pattern and if pattern found replace the line with new text. i am using awk 'match($0,"pattern") != 0 {print $0} ' filename to check if the pattern exists.how do i get the line number of the pattern and delete that line and replace the line with my new text?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to go through a log file and find pattern1 and then a pattern2 only after pattern 1.So for example I want to know howManyRecords was in 13:30.I figured I grep for "start time for the job" and then only after that (and before the next occurence of that) grep for "howManyRecords". Is this a sane way?

I want to replace "path=/home/fun" with another pattern, but only under "111111", all the others should be the same.
I would like to write a newline delimeted rules file using PCREs for use with the grep command. Grep has the option -f to obtain the search pattern from a file, and option -P to search using PCREs. However, these two options do not work together. The -f option only seems to work with fixed string rules.A friend previously helped me get around this limitation somehow, but I can't remember how he did it. I also would like the ability to add comments at the end of each rule in the file.

I want to list all the files that don't have a copy with the same filename with -1 somewhere in it. So, in the example above, the results would be 3.png.
NB: the file and its copy with "-1" in it will be the same filesize, if that helps.
I want to replace a pattern with other pattern in a textfile. But there are two same patterns,but I need two change only the second occurence. EG:

Now I want to change aaaa=x into some other entry.
Just using shell scripting, how can I insert text into the middle of a file name. The file has a predictable pattern, let's say 3 letters and 3 numbers and I want to insert text in the middle of those 2 patterns. Say ABC123 is the file name. As a result, the file name should be ABC.blah.123
View 2 Replies View RelatedTo search a string pattern in all files in a directory and subdirectories, I am using;
Code:

Best Regards.
I'm new to the shell scripting. can any one help in creating shell script for matching the content of the specific variable with file. it should remove that line from the file if line is containing same value as variable and keep the other content as it is.i used grep -v for accomplishing the same. But grep will remove the pattern which is similar.For eg. Assume file "test" contain datas :aaffif i used grep -v command for the pattern "a" to this file this will remove content "aa" from the file. I want the pattern only "a" should remove from the file, if it is existing. otherwise it should throw alert content not exists.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to copy all files with the name XYZ* into one folder. The problem is that the files are in different subfolders and that not even the depth of the folder structure is the same for all files. Luckily, at least each file has a unique name.
Of course, I thought about the cp command but I guess the depth of the folder structure needs to be the same for this to work.
A function by name abc is called in many files. I want to copy all the lines with the function call to an output file.A simple grep on function name doesn't help me as the function call is spanning across multiple lines as follows:
abc(parameter1,
parameter2,
parameter3);
So I want to copy all the three lines (till semicolon) to the output file.The problem is because there are more than 200 calls for the same function and I cannot do it manually
Many folders within a subdirectory some of which have lots of data in and some of which have only one specific file called produkt.fil inside.I need a command to find and delete those folders that contain ONLY the file produkt.fil - if other files exist (doesnt matter what they are) then they should be left alone. Note: produkt.fil exists in all of the folders always.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've written a script to parse a file and print each line that ends with matching pattern, if the next line is blank. The pattern lines are the result of md5sum $i|sed 's/path///g' so that only md5 and filename appear. Here's what I'm using.

I want to create some files of a specific size containing a repeating pattern. I did some research and found that I can create a file and fill it with (fairly) random data by using dd like so: dd if=/dev/urandom of=myfile.dat bs=$(( 1024 * 1024 )) count=100 (Creates a 100 MB file.) I found that here: Quickly creating large files.
Rather than fill a file with random data, I'd like to use these patterns: 0xaa, 0x55, 0xff, and 0x00 (one per file). Is there a simple way to accomplish this?

I have a file which contains milion of records. It contains 12 columns seperated by "||" (delimeter).
First two fields contain first name and last name of a person. Now my requirement is to delete all those records from this file for which:
First two fields does not contain any alphabet.
For e.g i have below mentioned records in file:
gaurav||gandhi||123||456||789
#a%bcd||123abc||89|90||91
12345||@@@||89||123||234
***||!!!!||98||76||90
Now, last two lines should be removed from this file since first two fields does not contain any alphabet for these two records.
What I am attempting to do is rename some television shows into the format that my PVR will understand for the naming convention. I have a script that cleans them up about 95%, now I just cant figure out the last little detail..
For example: NCIS_01.mkv
I think it can be done in sed, but I just figure out how. I need it to be renamed to: NCIS_s01e01.mkv
How can I make sed (or something else) match the last "_" and any numbers after it until the period and then insert text between them reliably?
Depending on the show, it can be something like: This_show_name_243.avi so I need it to be more flexible than I can figure out how to do..
Suppose i have a file(1.txt) separated by TAB delimiter in a line
1 B AB 2
2 C AB 2
if I need to search for the records having B?? using grep.If i need to perform multiple search like line having "C and AB" or "B and AB"??
I want to read from the file and check for the pattern, if the line has some word like <string>: then string should be copied into buffer. Afterwards, I want to insert the same <string> with some word in the next line of the file. use sed command to perform the above mentioned operations?

Say, I want to comment out the line containing "which 0launch" and the two lines following it:
if [ -x "`which 0launch`" ]; then
exec 0launch http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/ROX-Filer -S
fi
Expected result:
#if [ -x "`which 0launch`" ]; then
# exec 0launch http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/ROX-Filer -S
#fi
I need this because I do not want to comment out every line containing "fi", just the "fi" of this specific if statement.
