General :: Remove Duplicate Words Within A Particular Text In A File?
Jul 22, 2011
I am basically trying to remove duplicate words in my <title></title> tag after I got hit by Google Panda. I have around 750 .html files and it will be difficult for to me remove one by one. I am looking for a way to remove only from within <title> </title>
Example of a duplicate title I have:
Code:
<title>Pasta, Pasta Recipe and Pasta Guide</title>
I dont want to replace those words anywhere else in the file except for within the <title>

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.
Contained within each of these 67 text files is about 1 million urls. Yes. I have 67 text files that contain 1 million lines of urls each. I am sure I am swimming in duplicates. I tried opening one text file and clicking sort ----->remove duplicates. Now Gedit is not responding my processor is maxed out to 100% and I think I am finally ready to delve into some command line code. Can anyone give me idiot proof instructions on how to sort the duplicates out of each one of these 67 text files? How about no duplicates across all 67?
i have a big file of random numbers i generated at some point in time, after working with it with different things(how fun that was)... i want to remove duplicate lines and i'm not sure i'm doing this right
I have a folder with many many files. e.g html, docs, excel sheet, script etc. Now I want to find {using grep command}a certain word in that folder/directory and delete it in all the files and scripts that have it.
For example, I want to delete the word /testing (with the slash) in all files in a directory.
i waas wondering if anyone knew of a script or program that removes duplicate words in a txt file. im making an install script and the install list has gotten a bit long so i want to ensure there are no duplicates in the file
I have a text file with many pairs of number, one pair in each line. Each 25 of these pairs are a solution to a math problem I've been working on, and each solution is separated from another by a line with "**********".The problem is that there are duplicate solutions. In order to know exactly how many solutions I found, I have to delete the duplicate ones. How can I do that?Just to make things clear, here are the first three solutions:
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
I want to find and remove duplicate consecutive words from a text file. I've tried working with array but is very difficult..then i've tried using sed...somebody hint me with this sed : sed ':f;N;$!bf; s/(.*) 1/1 /g; s/(.*)1/1/g'. It works fine but if i have 3 consecutive identical words it only remove first one and the last two remain intact.
I have a text file that is filled with references to duplicate files. I'm trying to create a text file for each duplicate file found that contains the paths to the duplicates. I would also like the text file names to be based on the size and file name.
I am looking for a way to keep a log and make if then statements if a line exitsts in the log. I also am looking for a way to make a simple loop, like goto line number, and I also am wondering how to add/remove bits of text from a text file (plugins line in server.properties)
I did apt-get install qtcreator and it installed qt 4.5.3(qt4.5.2real) I had qt 4.5.2. If I go in Applications->programming I see 2 shortcuts for qtcreator, one of them being newer. How do I remove the older one? On another note, if I want to update Qt to 4.6 what would be the steps if I already have qt 4.5
I have two folders - Folder abc and Folder xyz which contains 1000's of files with few of them having the same file names. How can I remove the duplicates from Folder abc?
Was wondering if any perl guru's could help me with a quick log file adjustment. I have a text file that looks like so (tabs and newlines are revealed so you can see what separates the data):
There are maybe 100 lines of text in this file at any given time. I need to delete all duplicate lines only looking at the first bit of text prior to the first tab. It doesn't matter which one gets deleted as long as there are no two lines that begin with that same text at the beginning before the first tab. So in this example, either the fist line "1234" or the last line "1234" would need to be deleted. I already have code in my script that opens the files - I just need the code to read the text into an array and the part that would find matches based on the above criteria, and make the deletions.
If it would be easier, I can even do a system call and use SED (v4.1.5) and/or AWK (3.1.5) instead.
I would like to find a command which automatically finds and removes phrases which appear more than once in a text file. I still want to keep one of these phrases, but I only want to see one of them.
I want to be able to check the contents of a text file for a specific string and remove it from the file from the command prompt. I would basically be searching through a number of files and if a specific string is found I would like it removed automatically. pretty much a find and replace, were the replace is nothing. any one got any ideas on how you would do this. I already have the search part sorted just need to be able to remove the string I don't want from the multiple files.
The bad news comes that active support for Mint6 is set to end Apr. 30. The worse news is I don't know what to do about it. Complicating this is that I have about 5 drive partitions and duplicate Mint6 operating systems because of password problems and just partitioning the drive and rebooting the OS instead of trying to fix the issue. I hear good things about Mint8, but my 80 Gig drive is getting pretty thin on partitions. I know there must be a way to safely remove the partitions and duplicate operating systems. I just don't know how to do it.
I have 2 lists of names, they aren't sorted, and may contain repeats.What I would like to do with a bash script is compare the 2 documents and find and remove each repeat name, saving only one of them. Then concatenate the files. Or if it were easier, concatenate first and find and remove all internal repeats.
I have a text file (actually a log file from a sensor) that looks like this:
Date/Time: 10.07.01 11:03:59 00 Battery Voltage 13.5 Volt 01 Reference 71 02 Wind speed 6.68 m/s 03 Wind gust 9.3 m/s
[Code]....
I want to delete every block that is not complete. If any of the above lines (Date line or lines 00 to 08)is missing I want to completely remove the block.
