When looking for a certain word or phrase in the man page of linux command, one can type '/' followed by the word/phrase to search for it. What I'd like to be able to do is to search for the next occurrence of the word/phrase without having to type it out again. Kinda like when you use 'ctrl+f' in a browser to search for a word, and then press 'enter' to find the next occurrence of that word.If this is possible to do, how do I do it?

I have huge text files with two fields, the first is a string the second is an integer. The files are sorted by the first field. What I'd like to get in the output is one line per unique string and the sum of the numbers for the identical strings. Some strings appear only once while other appear multiple times. Given the sample data below, for the string glehnia I'd like to get 10+22=32 in the result. how to do this either with gnuwin32 command line tools or in linux shell?

how to search for 1000 then assign them group 1 and then 1001-1999 to group 2 etc.
I am trying to do a find/grep/wc command to find matching files, print the filename and then the word count of a specific pattern per file. Here is my best (non-working) attempt so far:
wc `find . ( -name "*.as" -o -name "*.mxml" ) -exec grep -H HeightResizableList {}` ;
Is there a method at the command line to copy files from one location to another and retain the source files group and user?I'm migrating some MySQL files from one machine to another.I want to back-up the original files in the directory presently. They have owner:group of mysql, some have owner:group root:mysql and so on. To copy them under cli or Nautilus everything changes to root for I execute sudo cp or gksudo nautilus and copy via gui.
Since it is MySQL data I could simply do a dump of the database and restore it on the other machine. But there's about 20 db's and I want to do this via a copy for it will be faster - at least that is what I think.

Code:
Cmnd_alias SU=/bin/su -l %group1 This example works sortof, it treats the "%group1" literally. I know I can list out the "/bin/su -l <eachuser>", but as you can imagine that is impractical. In this example, I want people in group2(not shown for brevity sake) to be able to su to someone in group1

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to know that how can i search for a word in a file and then comment it or delete it. I know this command works.
sed 's/word/#word/'g inputfile > outputfile
But the lines in my input file are as under:
zone "abc.com" { ---- This line can be comment
type master; ----- This line repeat again and again in the file
file "abc.txt";
allow-query { any; }; -This line repeat again and again in the file
};
I want to know how can i comment a certain zone.
Almost by mistake, I figured out you could do something like:
$ cp foo.data bar1.data
$ ^bar1^bar2
And that runs the same command with bar2.data instead of bar1.data. Now, how about if I have multiple occurrences of the target word? For example:
$ cp foo.data bar.data
$ ^data^index
It only replaces the first data extension. How do I get it to replace both?
What is the command to sort a text file by the second word?

I'm not a newbie to Linux, but I'm a newbie to LQ. I've searched the internet for an answer to an issue I'm having with JOE, to no avail.For my editing purposes, I HATE word wrap. I've read the man page extensively and nothing I try works.
To disable word wrap, it says, simply edit the joerc file and place --wordrap in the first column. Done. It works for .pl, and it works for .c (seems to be built in for C). Bottom line, I cannot disable word wrap for all text files, or at least the ones I want to edit. Has anyone solved this?
I have to modify formsweb.cfg file in Oracle IAS.
Problem description
In formsweb.cfg file are two lines with labels archive_jini= and archive= at the beginning of line. After equal sign (=) is row of filenames of java archives delimited by coma(,). When I insert a new jar file in java directory, I have to append the very same name of jar file to both lines if that name is not yet present.
Example snippet from formsweb.cfg

find ./ -name **.properties. , then copy the result, and then vi "paste the result here" .
If I need to use a mouse, it can be a little trouble. So is there any better way to do this?
This is a bit of a long shot and I think the answer will be no but I thought I'd ask just in case. I have a number of tutorials in html but I want to be able to search for particular information in these files and display that information in the terminal rather than having to go through a browser. Apart from using grep which gives a pretty messy display or having to write a a specially Bash or python script, is there any command line tools that can provide such a function?

I want to search file excluding the NFS ...find / -mount -name 'filename' restricts the search only in the root disc partition,but the file can be in other partitions alsoIs there any way to exclude the NFS only.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need a command to search for any file in a directory like so:
/home/*/upload/* and then change permissions any file in that directory.
Find doesn't seem to match what I need.
Trying to find a way to have the find command perform a search using multiple file extensions such as "find all pics" i.e. .jpg, .png, .gif, .raw etc. I would have thought something like the following would have worked, but apparently I'm doing something wrong:
sudo find / -type f -iname "*.jpg" "*.png" "*.gif" -printf
I'm guessing find simply doesn't support more than one "-name/-iname" at a time? Or perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way? I realize most times there's several different ways to skin a cat when a task is requested in linux/unix.
I'd like to print only few groups from text matching a regex. How can I do that in the Linux command line?
What other tools for text processing are there in Linux?
