General :: Awk: Awking The Right Separator With Slashes - Colons - Commas (date Time And Data)

Jan 4, 2011

I wrote a hack script that outputs the following every so often: Code: 01/04/11 10:33:02: 97,1413,1447,2860 I must leave the data format the same --but I want a special number from it. In this case it's 97 and it's always going to be the first in the 4 columns of comma delimited items. I can extract with this:

Code: cat datafile | awk -F" " {'print $3'} | awk -F"," {'print $1'} But that's really sloppy. Can someone point out a better way of doing this (with awk) and tell me why?

General :: Search & Replace Back Slashes To Forward Slashes In Windows

Feb 11, 2011

Lately I've been needing to delete new untracked files from my versioning system. Being in linux I use: hg status -un|xargs rm And it works nice, but when doing it in windows, hg status lists paths with backslash so that is where stuff goes wrong. So then I try: hg status -un|sed 's/\///g' ...but I get the error: sed: -e expression #1, char 8: unterminated `s' command

Then I try some ascii: `hg status -un|sed 's/o134/o57/g'`...that gets me: sed: -e expression #1, char 14: Trailing backslash And some scripting: hg status -un|sed 's/`echo `/`echo /`/g' ...that gets me: sed: -e expression #1, char 19: unknown option to `s'

I try all the last with any other characters and I get the expected output... so I'm completely lost. I have cygwin, of course, and I want to avoid using a file (that is what I've been doing).

General :: Selectively Remove Blank Spaces From String?

Oct 7, 2009

need all spaces between two letters or a letter and a number exchanged for an underscore, but all spaces between a letter and other characters need to remain. One example for clarity:

Input:

force -- lamin 90 [label]
active A -- generation [label]

needed Output:

force -- lamin_90 [label]
active_A -- generation [label]

I tried solving this with sed but obviously s/ /_/g does not work, nor does any s/[a-zA-z0-9] [a-zA-z0-9]/[a-zA-z0-9]_[a-zA-z0-9]/g , because you just can't do this...

Ubuntu :: Text Editor Column Editor And Regex Search/replace, Incrementing Number Insert?

Jul 25, 2011

On windows I really only used Notepad++ as my text editor, it had two features that I loved.What I need to accomplish is what I would do with Notepad++ column editor.I could have like 100 lines, and place the cursor at a column, and goto edit>column editor, and I could insert an incrementing number. (I could also pad the incrementing number with 0s, this was GREAT for making batch files among other things.)So each line at that column had a number higher than the previous line.The other feature that I used sometimes was a search/replace with regex patterns.Does anyone know of an editor that has those features for linux? I am mostly after the column editor insert feature but if you know of one with both features that would rock.

General :: Recursive String-search In Files?

find out a command to search among all *.dat files in a certain path (including subdirectories) looking for the following text in them:

Code:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elements with small area
Element Adjusted nodes

and getting the list of elements with small area printed in a file "ErrorEl.txt". The output should have this form:

I know already how to find out the dat files containg a certain string

Code:

but I don't know then how to get the element numbers(16294 and 17889 in the example above)

Programming :: C++ Won't Detect Spaces In A String?

Oct 8, 2010

I have been trying to code a program in C++ that must check for the correct syntax in order to operate. It must find ", " within the string, but I don't know why the compiler won't recognizes spaces.

Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>

[Code]....

So the user must input "<name>, <interest>" with the ", " (comma and space) but even if you respect the syntax the compiler will skip to the else condition. I don't know why, but if I put any other condition like ",s" it will work, but not with spaces.

Programming :: The 'a' String Doesn't Have Any Spaces In It?

Nov 27, 2010

I have a file of the type:

a = b

where a is any string and b is an integer The 'a' string doesn't have any spaces in it.

Everything was running fine till I was searching for 'a' and finding value 'b' by expression

Code:
string="$a"
egrep -i -m1 "^[[:space:]]$string[[:space:]]*=" | awk -F'=' 'gsub(/^[[:space:]]+/,"",$2)gsub(/[[:space:]]+$/,"",$2){print $2}'

I recently ran into a situation where in the string 'a' had symbols like $, & in it. Though I haven't checked it for & but $ is definitely breaking my code

Any way to egrep for string with $ ??

One way I though was to replace every occurence of $ with $ in my search expression but that would involve an extra processing each time

General :: Find Text After String Search In File

Aug 2, 2011

I have a file called Regions.ini that looks like this:

Code:
[Granite]
RegionUUID = 54ab7cd2-0e70-49b7-8020-8dbeb84c08d0
Location = 9991,10007
InternalAddress = 0.0.0.0
InternalPort = 9001
AllowAlternatePorts = False
ExternalHostName = 71.171.21.9

[Syenite]
RegionUUID = 8fc56fdd-0afd-4074-9432-0ae8f42b799f
Location = 9992,10007
InternalAddress = 0.0.0.0
InternalPort = 9000
AllowAlternatePorts = False
ExternalHostName = 71.171.21.9
What I need to do is find out what the IP address is after "ExternalHostName ="

After that I will need to compare that IP to whatismyip and if it's different then replace it but that is easy to do with sed. I just can't figure this simple hurdle out.

General :: Search And Replace String Having Multiple Special Characters

Aug 26, 2009

Below is extract of my file:

What I need is to replace "--destination-path=" with "--destination-path=/home/dest"

i.e. desired output is ----destination-path=/home/dest

I could achieve it with below command

$cat outgoing-xfer|grep destination-path|perl -pi -e "s/destination-path=/destination-path=/home/dest/g"

But the problem is that in this case i just wanted to append "/home/dest" for which I could easily escape "/" with just two "", but I wonder if i have a long path like "/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/i/j" I will have to escape so many /. Is there any other way by which I can avoid escaping forward slash.

I tried following:

But receiving follo error

Bareword found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "s/destination-path=/'destination-path=/home"
syntax error at -e line 1, near "s/destination-path=/'destination-path=/home"
Bad name after dest' at -e line 1. tried with enclosing in double quotes as well but in vain

Software :: Using Sed To Search And Replace Does Not Accept Spaces?

Feb 16, 2011

Back to the problem: I wrote a little bash script that people around here can run to search and replace strings in the current directory and all subdirectories. However, whenever there is a space in the new string (the one doing the replacing), I get this error:

Sed: -e expression #1, char 9: unterminated `s' command

My code looks like this:

Code:
find ./ -type f -not -name find_SNR.sh -exec sed -i 's/'$FIND_SNR_STR1/$FIND_SNR_STR2/'' {} ;

Programming :: Replacing "slashes" With Back Slashes - Escape Character ?

Jan 7, 2011

Usually if I have to replace a character in a string I used the sed /s/ command. However, I am having some difficulty in doing the same thing when I have the following string in a variable in my shell script and I need to replace all the forward slashes ("/") to backslashes ("").

For example, this is what I am doing:

Code:

Not sure how to escape the slashes in this case.

General :: Shell - Rename A File From Something Without Spaces To Something Containing Spaces?

Jan 26, 2010

Is it possible, in Linux, to rename a file from something without spaces to something containing spaces? I know I can create directories and files with spaces by doing:

mkdir "new dir" and:

touch "new file.txt"

I want to rename files from:

imgp0882.jpg to something like:

20091231 1243 some topic.jpg

And how would it look in a shell script that uses parameters like:

for i in *.jpg do
rename "$i" "$somepath/$mydate $mytime $mytopic$extension"
?

I'm new to Linux (using PCLinuxOS 2009.2), coming from Windows, and I've written myself a little shell script to download files from my camera and then automatically rename them according to a date-and-topic pattern. As you can guess by now, I'm stuck on the bit about renaming. If you want to see my script, here's a copy. I'm not using jhead for this renaming because that only works with JPEG files but I want a single solution for any media format including videos.

Programming :: Text Editor With Search And Capture

i was wondering if in all the editors/tools in linux, if there was a prog that can extract a portion of a text file, giving it a starting line of say o as the first character on a line of say o35565 oxxxxx then when it finds the next line down the file with the same thing oxxxxwhatever

it could take those lines and all the lines between them and save it to another file? i dont know if you call this parsing? or what.

Is there hopefully a way to search for an exact string in Man Pages? I know if I want to search for anything containing -c I can just do this.

How would I search for "-c"? I want only "-c" to show up. So I tried this.

It took me literally and looked for the quotes also.
