I'm using bash under Ubuntu.Currently this works well for the current directory:catdoc *.doc | grep "specificword" But I have lots of subdirectories with .doc files.How can I search for, let's say, "specificword" recursively?

View 4 Replies View Relatedso i have a file that has the following
file1.txt
ID1 age_11 dog_n3 parent_dog_n1
ID1 age_7 dog_n4 parent_dog_n3
ID1 dog_n5 age_4
ID1 dog_n6 age_4
[Code].....
As you can see i would like the output file to be just the dogs, not the otehr information. But because the information is mixed up how can i extract only the dogs? (i cant do and awk '{print }' because the dogs are found in colounm 2 or 3 or sometimes even 4.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMany 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 would like to overwrite files in a directory tree, recursively. The ones I would like to overwrite match the filename "x_alpha*.png" and have a size exactly 456 bytes. Is there any way to search for these recursively in a directory tree, and overwrite them with a reference file, for example "e:mydirgood.png"
I am using Windows 7, but I have UnxUtils, so I can use those too. What I am looking for is something like this, generated automatically:
copy /y e:mydirgood.png e:mydiracx_alpha0023.png
copy /y e:mydirgood.png e:mydirefgx_alpha0045.png
copy /y e:mydirgood.png e:mydirhx_alpha0248.png
suppose in my current directory, I have 50 sub-directories. Now, I am interested only in about 20 of those sub-directories (whose names match a pattern). I would like to recursively list the contents of these 20 sub-directories. How do I do that ? I would like to do this in Solaris 10 and Linux(RHEL 5.x).

I made an account under freeshell.org and it has been very satisfactory so far. I recommend everyone getting an account under freeshell.org. But anyways, how do I find files over, for example, 500 KB, in the entire, my shell account?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am new to linux as well as awk, grep or sed. I need a find and replace command single liner or script that loops trough input file (file1) and find the particular input in file2 and add "!" in front of the found string.
Example:
input file: file1
g+h=o+p
a+b=c+d
file2 (file that need to look for)
a+b=c+d1e105
x+y=z+s5e105
g+h=o+pabcdefg
t+r=w+qxvyderf
Output file (file3 should look like this)
!a+b=c+d1e105
x+y=z+s5e105
!g+h=o+pabcdefg
t+r=w+qxvyderf
I have tried many awk and sed method of find and replce but it did not work the way I wanted. This is mainly due to my lack of experience in awk and sed. The program should loop trough file1 and find in file2 and output in file3 for the 1st (g+h=o+p) set then repeat the same process again for set 2 (a+b=c+d).
I have a output file look like this:
{"test1" : "test2", "test3" : "test4"},
How can I read word by word in each line?This is not working code:

I need to strip the executable flag from all files within a certain directory and sub directories. Right now I'm doing it with a 2 step process
find /dir/ -type f -exec chmod ugo-x {} ;
find /dir/ -type d -exec chmod ugo+rx {} ;
Is it possible to modify the first line so that I can strip exec flag from all non-directory files? Since this needs to be done on a fairly regular basis across a lot of directories and files, I'd prefer not to use a bash script which would slow it down.
I have just been bothered by a fairly small issue for some time now. I am trying to search (using find -name) for some .jpg files recursively. This is a Redhat environment with bash.
I get this job done though I need to copy ALL of them and put them in a separate folder BUT I also need to keep the order intact after copying.
For e.g - If I get a JPG file under /home/usr/new/1/ then the destination also needs to be /test/old/new/1/.
At the moment, I am simply putting all files under /test/old/ and I can't somehow get the later /new/1/ folder path created under /test/old/
I understand this could well be done using while OR if else loop, though if someone can just guide me with a hint, I would be really grateful.
I will complete the rest of the steps and was asking here since I am still not comfortable with the shell/bash scripts yet and planning to be really good at it over the next couple of months.

I don't know how it got in all of them.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a Linux machine that shares some files through NFS. The shared directory is:
/foo
I then mounted a shared directory (from a Windows machine) to:
/foo/bar
/foo/bar is mounted successfully onto the Linux machine and everything is there. However any other machine that mounts /foo from the Linux machine everything is correctly there except /foo/bar is empty. Is there anyway to do a "recursive mount" of file shares. Here is the /etc/fstab entry for the Windows share mount of /foo/bar //windows_machine/share /foo/bar cifs username=user,password=pass 0 0 And the /etc/fstab entry on the client machines that mount /foo server:/foo /foo nfs rw 0 0

I have to modify formsweb.cfg file in Oracle IAS.
Problem description
In formsweb.cfg file are two lines with labels archive_jini= and archive= at the beginning of line. After equal sign (=) is row of filenames of java archives delimited by coma(,). When I insert a new jar file in java directory, I have to append the very same name of jar file to both lines if that name is not yet present.
Example snippet from formsweb.cfg
I have a file which a number at the end of each line. I need to change this number in the file to be correct, i.e. each time the number is 9 it needs to be 1, each time it is 233 it needs to be 2, etc... There is no pattern to the numbers currently in the list other than the same number appears only in a single line/group of lines, not throughout the file, but the replacements need to be sequential (but can be repeated an arbitrary number of times).
