General :: Sed - Change And Capitalize Some Letters In Words?

May 9, 2011

I'm trying to use Sed to change all "l" letters with "I" in capitalized words something like this:

1. ONlON -> ONION

- and as opposite change the all "I" with "l" in a word in small letters such as:

2. DiIbert -> Dilbert

For the first case I'm using the below sentence which unfortunately changes words such as "let" in "It"

Code:

sed 's/[:upper:]*l[:upper:]*/I/g' test.srt

For the second case the below command seems to work but it might have a side effect as the one used in the first case:

Code:

sed 's/[:lower:]*I[:lower:]*/l/g' test.srt

Jun 13, 2010

I am trying to write organize songs on my computer and ran out to the problem that some songs had names with underscores instead of spaces(which I had no problems removing, using awk). But i had some troubles with capitalizing first letters of the words. I think that it is not a big problem, but I don't know how to do it.

Fedora :: Change Certain Letters In Filenames To Uppercase?

May 22, 2010

I'm working on changing some badly named files, lots of them. I have a little script I use to change uppercase to lowercase:

[Code]....

Bear in mind all these files have appropriate numbers in the front of each filename. I need help to change ONLY the first letter after each underscore to an uppercase letter. I'm sure this can be done but I've done so much searching in forums and with Google/linux until I'm scrambled.

General :: Letters Are VERY Faint When Print?

Jul 19, 2011

We have an issue like this: We print PDFs from a Linux box to a printer attached to a Windows machine. Problem is when we print from the Windows the printout comes perfectly with the font bold and clear, but when printing from the Linux box the font is very FAINT and we can see dots in the fonts.

We tried changing the PDF to a text file (i.e. we created text file with the report) with the -o cpi=5 option and still it does not come out properly. Now the font gets bigger, but we can see dots in the font and it is not bold.

General :: Cannot Type Certain Letters In Gnome

Feb 8, 2011

I've recently purchased a VPS to run a private server on. I installed gnome and configured it to run on TightVNC to access from my home computer. Whenever I try to type certain letters such as a lower case "s" it instead accesses the shutdown menu at the top right corner. This is disabling me from finishing my server and downright frustrating.

General :: Finding Words In Files?

Apr 23, 2010

I am looking for this `struct messages_sdd_t` and I need to search through a lot of *.c files to find it.However, I can't seen to find a match as I want to exclude all the words 'struct' and 'messages_sdd_t'. As I want to search on this only 'struct messages_sdd_t' The reason for this is, as struct is used many times and I keep getting pages or search results.The directory I am searching in, has another directories so it will have to search recursively.I have been doing this without success:Code: find . -type f -name '*.c' | xargs grep 'struct messages_sdd_t'and thisCode: find . -type f -name '*.c' | xargs egrep -w 'struct|messages_sdd_t'

E.g. The line "tetris cat dog test cactus stereotype"

I want to detect the word that contains two (2) ore more t letters. That mean the words tetris, test and stereotype.

I thinks I have ti incorporate something like [^ ] in the regex but I wasn't successful...

General :: Remove Words In A File Using Sed Or Any Other Command?

Nov 30, 2009

i want to remove words "Max" and "constrained" in a file given below:

Max 0.003745 constrained
Max 0.004549 constrained
Max 0.001689 constrained

[code]....

and further want to replace "Max" by line number so that i can plot the resulting file. i searched in forum, but couldn't do what i wanted to do. e.g. i used

1)grep command

grep -v "Max" inputfile >outputfile

deletes whole line,and hence whole text.

2) sed command

cat inputfile |sed 's/ .{1,12} //g' >outputfile

gives output

0.003745constrained
0.004549constrained
0.001689constrained
