I installed the wrong file and now I would like to remove it. It was one of those .tar.gz files you have to install with ./configure, make, make install.I suspect files were installed all over the place.Is there a utility for removing a .tar.gz file ?

When I ls -l /etc/passwd, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root /etc/passwd When I login as myself, and rm /etc/passwd, it asks: rm: remove write-protected file '/etc/passwd'? If I say yes, will it actually delete the passwd file?

I have got certain files which somehow contain abnormal character "Del" "0x7f" or 177 which represents Del. And this is causing SVN to reject these files and abruptly end the process. I need to remove those characters from the file names but am not able to. find or grep do not search the files. This is how the file looks like with ls or find code...

Those two are showing still configured. What is the procedure to remove them from the configured list. I don't have a x display to do it graphically.
All I want to do is rename them to different file names and remove them from the network service.

i want to remove words "Max" and "constrained" in a file given below:
Max 0.003745 constrained
Max 0.004549 constrained
Max 0.001689 constrained
[code]....
and further want to replace "Max" by line number so that i can plot the resulting file. i searched in forum, but couldn't do what i wanted to do. e.g. i used
1)grep command
grep -v "Max" inputfile >outputfile
deletes whole line,and hence whole text.
2) sed command
cat inputfile |sed 's/ .{1,12} //g' >outputfile
gives output
0.003745constrained
0.004549constrained
0.001689constrained

When i want to remove particular lines containing a specific word in from entire document at a time,i am using the following command.
awk '$columnno !~/specificword/' inputfile > outputfile
But here, coulmn no is my problem, because iam having this in different columns. So i need a solution for it.
How to write such removal command without mentioning column no. , ie irrespective of column no, it has to remove all lines having that specific word.
If you create a file on UNIX/linux with special chars, like touch "la*, you can't remove it with rm "la*. You have to use the inode number(you can if you add the before the name, I know, but you'd have to guess as a user that it was used in the file creation).
I checked the manpage for rm, but there's no metion of the inode number. Doing rm inodenumber doesn't work either.
What is the command for this?
I've downloaded some files from the Internet Archive. They come in different file formats and most of the time I use pdf. However, sometimes the scans are saves in colour instead of b/w. This makes it difficult/impossible to read on a dedicated ebook reader. In that case I downloaded the djvu files as on the PC you can select which layer (color, bw,fore,back) one would like to see. Selecting the bw gives excellent results. However, the ebook reader does not has this option.
The question is, how can I remove /extract a layer from the djvu file and save only this layer.
So far I've tried the following two approaches:
1) select bw in the djvu viewer on the PC and printed to postscript file. Followed by a ps2pdf conversion. This works, but generates a fairly large pdf file. Sure, I can again upload it to any2djvu but it just seems to much manual work for each file.
2) I tried the shared annotation feature and said (mode bw). This works on the PC as desired but is ignored on the ebook reader as the other layers are still present.
There are weird commas after the real-name parameter of some lines in my /etc/password file.

I am tring to get the MAC address from windows xp and remove it from a file on a unix box. This is what I have so far:

commands.txt
cd /root
tr '-' ':' | tr -d '[:blank:]'
now this is what I get

I have an output file that looks like this:
Quote:
Now if you see the first line:
Status for ACCOUNT_MISSING_FRM_RCIS_LINK- mismatch
Status for ACCOUNT_MISSING_FRM_RCIS_LINK is ACCOUNT_MISSING_FRM_RCIS_LINK- does not exist in DB
This should appear just once as :
Quote:
The same goes for last line.
For further information the ACCOUNT_MISSING_FRM_RCIS_LINK is a table name and it row count is taken from a log and then Database checked for the rowcount to see if it is a match,mismatch,or the table does not exist!
I am getting the desird output just that i need to do something to this output file.
Is there any commands or scripts to remove only selected line in the history file.

got the same thing in terms of a u: number but the issue is I need to remove duplicates and just leave one and the file has multiple duplicates of different u: numbers and it's 14,000 lines long. can anyone tell me if I can use awk? sed? or sort for something like this to? removing lines that have a certain string in there that's a duplicate.
