I want to remove excess whitespace from the ends of lines in a document, but this code doesn't work:
Code:
$ cat input.txt | sed 's/[ ]*$//' > output.txt
Nor does:
Code:
cat input.txt | sed 's/^[ ]*//;s/[ ]*$//' > output.txt
What am I doing wrong and are there other ways of automatically removing excess whitespace from the ends of lines.
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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy setup:
HP XW8200
2x 3600MHz Xeon CPUs
4GB RAM
Quadro FX3800 PCIe graphics
Dual boot Ubuntu 10.10 32bit (primary use) and XP (gaming use only)
The issue I have is that the CPUs seem to run at 100% constantly in Ubuntu meaning that the CPU fans are constantly at high. This makes the machine sound like a wind tunnel!
It is nice and quiet in XP.
I installed GKrellM monitor which is what is telling me about the 100% CPU useage.
Would using the 64bit Ubuntu make any difference? (dont really want to reinstall tbh)
I am struggling with Bash scripting at the moment (I can't seem how anyone can write scripts with this language!!!) I have a need at home to have a cron job execute daily to lookup my downloads.txt file, read each url (per line) and download content from that url. Then that entry needs to be removed (well I keep all urls in memory and clear the file afterwards). If an error occurred during the download process, then the url is written to a downloads.err file. I got all the above working except for properly reading the url from the text file without including newline characters. I am using the following to read:
while read url; do
--Do whatever here--
done < downloads.txt
How can I get it not to let the url variable have newline characters?

View 3 Replies View RelatedGreetings, I have installed a VMware host on Windows 7 64bit and followed with a 10.04LTS 64 bit guest install. Everything went smooth. I have used VMware before, but the other way around.. Linux host and Windows guest.
So this time I am installing the VMWare tools on the guest, ubuntu 10.04, but it seems to be failing. The vmware tools install ran fine the first time with no errors, but I was getting the follwoing error after logging into the Ubuntu guest afterwards.
Could Not Apply the Start Configuration for Monitors
Error Line 1: Char 1 Whitespace or empty file
So I re installed the VMware tools once again, but still the same.
I am hoping that someone here has come across this before and hs a workaround. I don't think the vmware tools was installed correctly.
Is leading whitespace significant in bind9 config files? This reverse lookup file (/var/chroot/bind9/etc/bind/zones/rev.168.168.192.in-addr.arpa) did not work; /var/log/messages had "zone 168.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN: has no NS records".Inserting 3 spaces before IN in the NS line fixed it:
Code:
; IP Address-to-Host DNS Pointers for the 192.168.168.0 subnet
@ IN SOA CW8vDS.localdomain. hostmaster.localdomain. (
2011041901 ; serial
8H ; refresh

Reading the man pages and netsearching, I did not find anything about indentation requirements except for "This is usually indented for readability, but the indents are required syntactically" here.Although the above file works, named-checkconf reports an error in it:
Code:
root@CW8vDS:/var/chroot/bind9/etc/bind/zones# named-checkconf rev.168.168.192.in-addr.arpa
rev.168.168.192.in-addr.arpa:1: syntax error near ';'
but named initialisation does not log any errors or warnings in /var/log/messages when processing this file except "/etc/bind/zones/rev.168.168.192.in-addr.arpa:2: no TTL specified; using SOA MINTTL instead".
How do I write a regexp that matches a string that begins with whitespace or contains a newline, but not necessarily both?

One scenario, for example, if I have myDocument.txt that contain an article, how can I convert this into pdf?

I'm now configuring my web server to server different Virtual Hosts based on DNS name. Right now I store my files in /var/www per the default installation settings in Apache.
Questions:
I want to change the Document Root to /home/username/public_html/example1.dyndns.org for the second virtual server. What do the permissions need to be in order for Apache to read the files in this location? Would it be best to force Apache to run as this new username instead of www-data?
