This is what i doing to remove ( and ) sed 's/(//'|sed 's/)//') Can you offer me some better sed code that remove ( and ) with blank without using pipe (|) . I mean sed code that check ( or ) and replace that with blank character.
I have a CSV file with 8 columns. I want to check the 5th column, which will contain a single capitalised letter. If that letter is say "B" I would then like to replace the 2nd column in the csv with an incremental number starting at 0 (basically a count) with a prefix of B (B0000001) Sample row would be:
I would like to know what shell command I could use for finding a phrase (which is a URL) in many files, with a different phrase. I have tried the "sed" command, but it does not like the forward slash.
I am bouncing a file across platforms (windows->solaris->mainframe), and the file is starting out with a "special" character (the registered trademark "circle R") in some of the records. This character is not in the EBCDIC character set on the MF, so it is unrecognizable. The MF developer I am working with asked if it is possible to replace the character with a specific hex value (AF) before it gets to the MF.
I was putzing around with sed, tr, etc. on the ksh command line, hoping to find an easy way to get one of them to substitute hex instead of ASCII. I have found that the usual shell utilities recognize the trademark character, so homing in on what to replace is solved. But I cannot get anything to actually substitute in the hex sequence I want. E.g. I was thinking something like...
>cat special_file | sed 's/R/AF/g'
But my version of sed does not seem to have hex "editing" capability.
I am trying to write a script to access sqlplus and use the output to replace the result in another file. But I am having some issues with it (This script is just a test script and I am just trying to print the updated value.

I want to use SED to do the following: In a text file replace any occurrences of the three character string ZZZ with a quotation mark "and. replace all occurrences of a comma with a semi-colon. It is the S/ / / command which is stumping me on the first issue...inparticular how to get the replace string to be quote.
I am working on the shell using c language. I just would like to ask when I run some command in the backgrounds, how can I allow interleave out? I want to the output like this:
I'm writing output of top command to a file However since top does not provide time I would like to append the 'date' command and then write all this to a file.
I'm currently running Testing/Sid on my machine with Fluxbox as my window manager.Yesterday I noticed that I was not getting full output from commands using lxterminal.First off I tried another terminal,which was the xfce4-terminal.The result being exactly the same,missing output.I have also tried re-generating my xorg.conf,and yes you guessed it no change.Getting desperate I also tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup,still missing output from lxterminal.So to sum up why do I get the full output with xterm but not lxterminal which I have been using previously for some time.
I'm trying to write a python script that will use the current user's name when interacting. Ex: when started, it should say "hello daweefolk" when I am logged in. I've tried Code: username=os.system("echo $USER") but the variable remains empty. What is the correct code?
I was messing around with the alternate character panel app and made a custom character set. I then wanted to put it on a new panel and created a new panel. I moved the character set to that panel, and then started to mess around with the panel settings (auto hide, show hide buttons, and expand, to be specific.) So far so good, until I moved the panel from the right side of the screen to the top. I already had a panel here, and it seemed not to like hiding a panel when there was already one on the top.
When the new panel hid itself, all my panels stopped responding (any clicks on them did nothing) and my processor started going at 100%. I tried a reboot and the only thing that changed is that now I can't even see my panels. I'm guessing I need to change the settings back manually through the prompt, but I don't know how to do that. I am using 10.04 and have not upgraded gnome since upgrading to 10.04.
if you do the command conky in terminal, it starts conky ofcourse, but it also shows output to that terminal so you can't do any other commands to that terminal, Is their an option like you can do with the '&' sign in other cases? If you do the '&' sign with conky it still gives output, also the conky -d command gives output...

In programming and various terminal programs (Screen, Vim) the [, ], { and } tends to be used a lot. I'm using a Norwegian keyboard where these are placed such that I have to stretch my fingers a bit too long for whats comfortable. To make it easier I though I'd try to make alt+[some key] be one of these characters. Is there a way that I can bind, say alt+� (Norwegian letter) to '{' system wide?Btw, is such thing called binding, mapping or something else? I'm getting a bit confused by the terms...
I am attempting to set a character set of IBM850 on slackware linux for a particular application (epic5). I am using rxvt-unicode and have setup LANG/LC_*=en_US. Now if I set the encoding to IBM850 in kde's konsole program im able to display certain characters correctly. I'd rather not use IBM850 for everything; is there a way to set/alias a command for a per application execution?
I've tried things like: LC_CTYPE=IBM850 epic5 LC_ALL=IBM850 epic5
