I want to ask a question regarding the terminal in ubuntu. When i deleted some lines in the config files for example, there will be those so-called extra spaces left after deleting and i can't seem to delete those spaces and 'pull' up the lines below. So, how to delete those extra spaces?
View 13 Repliesthings "seem" to work, first time I've really ever used dmraid (usually mdraid), but I'm worried about this error
dmraid -ay
RAID set "jmicron_STORAGE2 " was activated
The dynamic shared library "libdmraid-events-jmicron.so" could not be loaded:
libdmraid-events-jmicron.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Two things, why no matter what I name the RAID in the jmicron bios is puts a bagillion spaces after it, and second, I cannot find the missing lib anywhere I've installed all the dmraid* packages.
After upgrade from MDV 2009.1 to MDV 2010 a bunch of available kernels that can be selected are listed at boot. I think that these are still installed but I really don't need them listed. I would like to get rid of the list of extras. I've had a look at /boot/grub but I can't figure out what.

set tabstop=4
set expandtab
set autoindent
And I have got some questions. 1:Is there any way I could do, so when I press backspace to delete an entire tab instead of individual spaces ? 2:Is there anything to do to delete a tab if I insert a closed curly bracket.
Code:
int main (void) {

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.
here is what is in my file:

i have xterminus installed. i also have a white block over the first letter in my username and when i begin typing, the 'block-type cursor' just leaves full white spaces behind and i cannot read my text at all. even when i delete back over the white spaces, they stay whited out.
there are 2 related to 11.3: openSUSE_11.3/ and openSUSE_11.3_KDE_Distro_Factory/ Index of /repositories/KDE:/Extra they are not listed as official kde4 repos here KDE repositories - openSUSE, but they are in the same directory structure on the build service so it would assume they are official (what ever official means) They have rpm's I didn't see in community and playground (at least for 11.3) such as audex and clementine I would guess that they are for the stable and factory versions of KDE4 but then shouldn't there be a 3rd for unstable if this was the case? Or do they refer to the distro, 11.3 stable and 11.3 factory

But when I have a file with a space in in and enclose it in quotes it takes it literally.If a word begins with an unquoted tilde character (�~�), all of the characters up to the first unquoted slash (or all characters, if there is no unquoted slash) are considered a tilde-prefix.

I am trying to run an scp command on my linux server, this is working fine, however I changed the output folder to one which has spaces and now when run, it's coming up saying SCP ambiguous target
Here's my string:

/Volumes/Data1/My Backup Folder/ ; expect assword ; send "MYPASSWORD " ; interact;'
I have a lot of files with tabs littered throughout, and I'd like to convert them all into spaces. I know about the expand command, but unfortunately I would have to type out every single file using it. Is there any easier way to do this on Linux?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am reading the output of /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ATF0/temperature in a program to read my CPU temp. I am using cat like the following:
Code:
#cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ATF0/temperature
temperature: 49 C
I basically want to get rid of the spaces in between temperature and the actual temperature. Is there a command I can pipe the cat output to, to remove the spaces. I have seen suggestions for sed, or tr, but for some reason I cannot get them to work properly.
I did the following script:
Code:
DIR=`pwd`;for i in `find . -name GESTION -type d`;do cd $i/..;setfacl -R -m g:directores:rwx,
GESTION;echo $DIR'/'$i;cd $DIR;done
This code do the following actions:
1. Starting inside a folder, it's searching for any folder called "GESTION"
2. Every time a folder called "GESTION" is found, then the script move to its parent folder, and then it applies ACL permissions to the folder GESTION by using the command setfacl.
The problem is that the script doesn't works when there was found a folder with a blank space in its name. I mean:
/dir1/dir2/dir3/GESTION --> this works fine
/dir1/dir2/dir 3/GESTION --> this doesn't works
/dir1/dir2/dir3/2. GESTION --> this doesn't works

I am trying to encode files via mencoder. The file name has spaces in it. "test file.mkv". When I manually type the command in the terminal, everything works. But when I use a bash script (I'm reading it from a file) it doesn't. It gives me
Code:
File not found: '"test'
Below is the bash script I wrote
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# For testing, we have already built a file list, so just use that.
# ls *.mkv>files.lst
exec 10<files.lst
let count=0
while read -u 10 FILE; do

On a related note, when I was first trying this simply on the command line, I had a file that had a double exclamation point. I found out that that is a shortcut of some kind for the previous command. My kludge to get around this was to try to execute a single exclamation point as a command, then to change the double exclamation point to a quadruple exclamation point. Is there a proper way (escape sequence or something) to pass double exclamation points to a command?
How do I access files with spaces from the command line?
for example I want to go to a file called "New File" and let's say is in Downloads/Books/(and here is the file)
how do I input the space since the command line doesn't recognize it?
I'm hoping that someone can help me, I need to remove spaces (not replace with underscores) from several thousand files on a system with cygwin.
Can I do this from the shell using rename or mv somehow?
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...
I named a number of files with spaces in them, and I want to replace the space with "_". However, every time I write a command in the shell with the file name (eg "Spring 2011"), the shell doesn't recognize the file or directory. What can I do about this? Is there any way to use the unicode character for a space?

I want to use Gparted to extra space to /dev/sda5/. Using a live CD I shrunk /dev/sda7 and I have 9.77 Gb of free space.
However I can not increase the size of /dev/sda5 - I can only shrink it.
Do I need to reboot and then try?
