i would like to replace my Ubuntu Desktop version with the Netbook version. I dont mind losing my current data on the desktop version but if there is a way for me not too i would love to know
how I can merge the data from file1(data per line) to the end of line of file2. So what I mean is, I want to add every line from file1 to the end of the corresponding line of file2.
I wish to add information to one of my files based on matching IDs,
Here is an example
(the id is the 3 colunm)
(the ID is the 2 colunm)
And the output i wish to be
OUTPUT:
So as you can see the ones that do not match are still present, and the ones that do match just have the extra information from file2.txt added to them.
I thought about using join but that only seems to join the ones that match displays thoes only. i would like all the information in the output file.

I trying to change a file with hundreds of entries, replacing line with "IP Address Number" for "Host Name", one for another.
this is the original: [IP Address Configuration : "172_17_27_161.SUBNET_U"] IP Address Number = 172.17.27.161Assignment Type = 8Host Name = CAST124Last Used = 1290499294000MAC Address = 1 00 16 35 74 4C 59Client Identifier = 01 00 16 35 74 4C 59and the result desired is: [IP Address Configuration : "172_17_27_161.SUBNET_U"]Host Name = CAST124Assignment Type = 8IP Address Number = 172.17.27.161Last Used = 1290499294000MAC Address = 1 00 16 35 74 4C 59Client Identifier = 01 00 16 35 74 4C 59I know how to change one character by another with sed, but not to change a line for another, because I don't know in which line number it is.
I have txt file with list of ID's and I need to insert comma in every line and then remove new line character so it'll become one long string. So to clarify, I have txt file content that looks like this.
234 5466 2356 ... and so on.
but I would like this to change to 234,5466,2356,... I looked at sed and tried to wrap my head around the commands but I guess my brain isn't smart enough. its really confusing for me. I've managed to add commas to end of line (sed "s/$/,/g" filename) but somehow I can't seem to remove new line character from each line.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and I'm trying to install DirectFB 1.4.3. I can do it with no problems by downloading the sources from the directfb website and installing it by hand. but I can't replace the 1.2 stable version that is in the apt-get tree. Is it possible to do it?
I have a jar, and I need to replace a class in it, at this moment, I can only open it with "archive manager" and then drag and drop the new compiled class into the jar, but I think this is really boring, if I can do with with just a command ?
I am having difficulty getting sed to replace a string of text in an XML file, despite the fact that I have no trouble using grep to find that same string. Since the new string and old string to be replaced contain a lot of special characters, I thought it best to store them in variables as opposed to using a slew of backslashes:
I have a large number of log files, on a linux box, I need to cleanse sensitive data from before sending to a third party. I have used the below script on previous occasions to perform this task, and it has worked brilliantly (script was built with some help from here :-)
However, now one of our departments has sent me a CLIENT_FILE.txt with 425000+ variables! I think I may have hit some internal limit. I have tried splitting the client file into 4 with around 100000 variables in each, this still doesn't work. I'm loathe to keep splitting though as I have 20 directories with up to 190 files in each directory to run through. The more client files I make, the more passes I have to do.
I have an SQL dump, file.sql that has many references to a particular domain, d1.com. I would like to run a command that can replace every occurrence of d1.com with d2.com. I've tried looking into sed before but the man pages are quite daunting.
I am trying to find a way to replace a set of sequential numbers in a file with a different sequence using sed. This might be done easier using awk or some sort of bash script, but it seems to me there must be a way to do this easily with sed. Basically, what I am editing is a Cisco switch config. I want to change the sequence of ports to a different numbered sequence. Here is an example of what I am trying to do.I want to change for example, the file:
I am compiling mesa and it compiles ok but I think it it compiles to the usr/local/lib but I want to replace the system version as I want applications to use my compiled version instead.
I have large text files with space delimited strings (2-5). The strings can contain "'" or "-". I'd like to replace say the second space with a pipe. What's the best way to go? Using sed I was thinking of this:
on creating a new perl script which replace IP address from the text file. eg. If in a file, we found any word like 11.222.333.44 then it has to be replaced to XX.XXX.333.44
I need to replace a string in a file(startup.sh) using a script(parser.sh). After running parser.sh startup.sh should be filled with nfs path like /home/vimal etc but im getting error since path contains /. how to remove this.
I would like to replace the exiting kernel in one of my Fedora 11 installs with an earlier kernel from a Fedora 10 Unity Spin...so I can use it to bring ATI functionality to Fedora 11. Also, I recall there being a way to unpack rpms and 'repackage' them using a different kernel development set. How is this done?
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.
#!/bin/bash I am not able to post the sqlplus connection, but it works. bb=$a
I can't get sed to actually change the file, clearly there's something basic not working, can anyone point me in the right direction? I know nothing about scripting. Oh yeah, all the directories have spaces which was why so elaborated.
