General :: Sed To Display The Pattern String - The Line Above It And The First Line Of That Para
Mar 30, 2011
I need to grep for a particular string and if found need to display the line containing that string, the line above that and also the first line of that paragraph.
Can this be done via sed.
Eg, My Paragraphs
OA connectA
Enclosure:
Interconnect Module #6 Status:
Here, if I grep for Critical, it should display the following
Similarly if I grep for Degraded, it should display
I've written a script to parse a file and print each line that ends with matching pattern, if the next line is blank. The pattern lines are the result of md5sum $i|sed 's/path///g' so that only md5 and filename appear. Here's what I'm using.
Quote: for fline in `sed -n '/.*.ext$/p' file1` do if [ "`sed -n -e '/'"$fline"'/ {n; p;}' file1`" == "" ] then echo ""$fline" has no info" >>file2 fi done [Code]....
I have a dataset (see example below) that I would like to go through and copy all lines containing a certain string ("LGIG") plus the line immediately following that line to a new file. I have no problem grepping lines containing the string LGIG but I'm lost how to translate that to line number and shift up one line number for each instance of that string.
I want to search a file for a particular pattern and if pattern found replace the line with new text. i am using awk 'match($0,"pattern") != 0 {print $0} ' filename to check if the pattern exists.how do i get the line number of the pattern and delete that line and replace the line with my new text?
I want to list all the files that don't have a copy with the same filename with -1 somewhere in it. So, in the example above, the results would be 3.png.
NB: the file and its copy with "-1" in it will be the same filesize, if that helps.
I have found many information about how to delete/grab a line in a text file including delete line with match a pattern but I did not find info about how to delete a line which match a pattern of a particular column only.
for example mydata.txt: id type x y z 1 6 0.474611 0.227223 0.583947
I'm new to the shell scripting. can any one help in creating shell script for matching the content of the specific variable with file. it should remove that line from the file if line is containing same value as variable and keep the other content as it is.i used grep -v for accomplishing the same. But grep will remove the pattern which is similar.For eg. Assume file "test" contain datas :aaffif i used grep -v command for the pattern "a" to this file this will remove content "aa" from the file. I want the pattern only "a" should remove from the file, if it is existing. otherwise it should throw alert content not exists.
I've been trying to understand pthread in C a little better. So I made a simple program that takes in a string from the command line and creates a thread to print the string. I've looked online and copied the basic concepts but there are something things I'm confused about. The programs works just fine, but I have questions. Here's what I have so far.
[Code]....
One thing I'd like to know is why the 3rd argument in the pthread_create function which is my SendMessage function needs to be typecasted to a void pointer and then send the address of the function. Also as for the 4th argument, I would see typecasting to void pointer in some of the pthread examples I saw online, but in my case I'm passing a char pointer, would this be correct? In which case would I ever want to pass a void pointer?
Do I need a pthread_exit(NULL) in my main and in the SendMessage function? If so, why? I added the sleep() function so that I could let the pthread_exit function in my SendMessage function execute first. I simply saw that the online examples on pthread had pthread_exit() in both locations.
I would like to make a shell script that will do the following :- have a web-page using curl- download a picture from the web-page- have a line in the source code of the web page - catch a string (a link patch) from the line- go to another page of the website from the result of the previous step- repeat all this until there is no match for step 3I know how to :- have the web-page source code using curl (simple, we just have to make "curl- download the picture (as simple as the first step)- have a line in the source code (grep is made for that, isn't it ?)- go to another website from the result of the previous step (it's the same as the first step)But I really don't know how I can do the fourth step of my script.
In facts, I don't know regular expressions and even the shell command that can help me to do this.To be more clear, I would like to store in a variable the string represented by the star (*) in this : <a href="*">Next ></a>
i have a file with a lot of lines in it, and iould like to grab just the line that contains a string i've specified in a variable... Let me know if you want a sample of the file.
if the given pattern exists in the file with the very next line starting and endingwith the same pattern , delete the line that starts and ends with the given pattern.So upon running on this file
hai people<PATTERN> we had <PATTERN>a lot of fun<PATTERN> writing scripts
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:
I want to know the Perl command to replace a string by pointing the line number. I know how to replace a string without pointing a line number but I am in need to replace only the two matching string in a file
I am doing molecular dynamics where I have to edit files. I have looked at tutorials for grep and sed but can't find my solution. The files produced in my simulations look something like this:
ATOM 1825 NE2 GLN 112 113.646 27.895 14.456 ATOM 1826 HE21 GLN 112 114.020 26.957 14.490 ATOM 1827 HE22 GLN 112 112.649 28.039 14.388
I have a question about sed programming, actually a one-liner for which I cannot find a solution, right now. I need to delete a line matching a specific pattern only if it is the last line. In practice, I would put together the following:
I would like to insert prior to the word "three" all items from this second file with the following contents:
Code:
four three two one
Now my issue is, and I have been using both sed and awk currently, that after the second line of the new file is read there will of course now be 2 copies of the word "three" but I would like to only insert the final 2 words, ie "two" and "one" prior to only the first occurrence of the word "three" so final file will look like:
Code:
one two four
[code]....
So here there is now only one of each word from the second file joined to make the new file. For simple code I have tried something like the following:
Code:
while read line do awk -v n=$line '!f && /three/{print n;f++}1' file1 > tmp_file mv tmp_file file1 done < file2
Now this works but seems very clumsy to me. There is obviously a better sed and / or awk out there.
Here's the actual line of code, which exists in a bash script:
Code:
I want to replace instances like this:
Code:
with this:
Code:
Using this:
Code:
Which works great when there's only ONE of the pattern on the line. But in a case like the "actual line" I posted first, where there are two patterns, separated by a slash, only ONE gets replaced
Watch:
Code:
Why? There must be (among many other things) something I'm not knowing about sed, that's causing this.
-- I'm currently using the ~ (tilde) as the separator in the sed command. It doesn't matter, I've used / ~ and % with no difference.
-- As a test, I tried putting a different character(s) in the middle of the original pattern instead of the / but that made no difference.
-- I've come up with various similar but slightly different regexs that will do this replacement, but they all have had this same result.
-- I tried the sed single-quoted, double-quoted, and unquoted; the latter fails to execute, and the formers both work as described here: wrong.
I have two files, file1.traj and file2.traj. Both these files contain identical data and the data are arranged in same format in them. The first line of both files is a comment.
At line 7843 of both files there is a cartesian coordinate X, Y and Z ( three digits ). And at line 15685 there is another three digits. The number of lines in between two cartesian coordinates are 7841. And there are few hundreds of thousands of lines in a file.
What I need to do is copy the X Y Z coordinate (three digits) from file1.traj at line 7843 and paste into file2.traj at the same line number as in file1.traj. The next line will be 15685 from file1.traj and replace at line 15685 at file2.traj. And I dont want other lines (data) in file2.traj get altered. This sequence shall be going on until the end of the file. Means copy and substitude the selected lines from file1.traj into file2.traj.
I tried to use paste command but I cant do for specified line alone.
Here i showed the data format in the file. I used the line number for clarity purpose.
I want to access a file, and check the length of every line.After, i want to check and replace all lines with length over 10 characters, with a message.Does anyone have a clue on that?
I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Dimension 2350/ 2Ghz P4/ 1.5GB memory.After running for up to 10mins the system dies and the monitor alternates between black & a half-screen display of vertical black & white bars every second or so (first the top half then the bottom half of the screen). The unit has the standard Intel onboard graphics chip.The same happens with Ubuntu Studio & Xubuntu yet Mepis 8.5 & Fedora 13 run without problem.It's a standard installation of Ubuntu & all updates have been applied.
I am trying to write a program in C which compares two files and prints the line that is equal.
Here file1.txt has
and file2.txt has
Note: file2.txt consist of only a single string where as file2.txt has multiple lines. Actually im comparing two files with md5sum values.
Here is the code but it compares only first line of files..but it should compare the whole file1..and sorry iam a beginner in C can any1 sujest some modification to this code so that..it can compare file2 with entire file1
I am trying to create a shell script, on taking a input file as parameter, which need to do 3 things
1) create a copy of existing file.
2) add a new line to the copied file.
3) strip off all the absolute paths inside the copied file
The first 2 points are straight forward. but i am finding it difficult to acheive the 3rd point. myself not very good with awk and sed. but gave it a shot in vain. For example, the input script consists of below,
