General :: Use Gedit To Open File With Null Characters?
Feb 15, 2011
I know GEdit has a bug which prevents it from opening a file with null () characters in it. This is a huge inconvenience for me because I frequently have to open big log files with only a couple rogue 's in them.
Sometimes I just run a quick tr -d '' < file.log > file.log.correct and open the correct file. This is a big nuisance. I would like to have maybe an external tool in GEdit that would execute the above command. I tried writing an external tool action (GEdit plugin) using just:
#!/bin/bash
tr -d ''
Input is "current document", output action is "replace current document". But this isn't working. When I open the file, GEdit shows the familiar red warning; activating the external tool with the warning showing apparently has no effect (I think the script is being called but its input/output are not set).
If a file is opened from the common prompt with something like: gedit somefile & Is there a way to close somefile while leaving the instance of gedit still open? My idea is that sometimes I will have more than one file open in gedit. I run a script daily that updates to a log file. The log file is then opened and viewed with gedit.
The problem is, when I get to the part where I have to open the file in gedit, it says it can't open it, file not found, or something or other..So, when I manually browse to the directory '.local/share/..' there is no folder named 'applications,' only a text file. When I open it, it appears to be the home launcher file, but its in the wrong place and has the wrong name. What's going on? Shouldn't there be a folder there with my applications in it?
How do I get rid of this new tab when I open gedit with some file? Because that tab has "*" in it which means I need to reject save-confirmation every time I exit gedit.
I am trying to make wine work for explorer. I followed some instructions on this link [URL] To follow this link, I am supposed to

What is it gedit uses additional that causes so many problems in root account? When run Code: # gedit /some/file it either doesn't open file at all or opens it with lots of errors...
openSUSE 11.2 Simple Chinese is supported as second language. the primary language is English. But I can't open Chinese file using gedit. it only support English? how can I solve this issue? the Chinese file is GB18030 encoding.
I ran a program that writes continuously from 1 every line. After some time I ran '/dev/null > temp' Problem1: bash: /dev/null: Permission denied (Yes, the permissions of /dev/null are correct ... crw-rw-rw-. I removed and created it again, but no change) I used 'cat temp' to see the contents and first few lines deleted (working correctly). Problem2: I can't open the file (with double click or with any graphical editor like gedit)
Apart from these problems, I have another question... Is there a way to trim a active log file to say 80% without affecting any logs that server might be writing.
I have installed CUDA-BLASTP on C2050.It is giving me an Error:"Bad address Error opening matrix file (null) for reading" while i am running with following query file and dataset:
and i am using BLOSUM62 as a matrix file which is already present in package.
And getting the error:"Error happened when the number of GPUs is 0" while i am running CUDABLASTP with a part of dataset taking as a query file and dataset is same. above mentioned error is comming from file "CUDA_Blast.cu" included in package.
else { printf("Error happened when the number of GPUs is %d ", localGPU_N); exit(0); }
I got a problem with my kernel. The initramfs source is busybox, python and gcc from ubuntu. The busybox have i compiled it self. Python and gcc is from /usr/bin. I gonna install my kernel on a i586 machine. Old yes. On the xTerm (termial) it stand "root device 8,1).

Having an odd boot message with Ubuntu 10.04. I've had it since I first installed Ubuntu a few months back and I am getting tired of it slowing down my boot up time.No luck on the Ubuntu forums or bug reports; no one seems to know what to do.uote:udevd-work [332] open /dev/null failed no such file or directory
I have a server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.6.9.55.ELsmp). When it starts up I get the following error: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.10 starting WARNING: can't access (null) exec of init ((null)) failed!!!: 14 unmount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
After that I got no response from the OS. I have the installation CD, so I tried to start the rescue mode, while going through the steps I received an error stating that mounting to /mnt/sysimage failed and that if I want to I can access a shell. I really don't know what to do from here
What command could I use in terminal to delete all ASCII characters? That is, delete a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and all punctuation? I have a file containing Chinese characters, and I want to remove everything else and leave just the Chinese.
I can use grep to leave only the lines that have Chinese in them, but this still leaves a lot of non-Chinese stuff on those lines. Does anyone know how I could actually remove everything that isn't Chinese?
I wrote a simple code using Open Inventor(OpenGL) classes to print a Sphere in a .png file.I tested it on Windows and it worked well.But when I run it on Fedora 10, I got the following error with no output .png file:
Coin error in glxglue_init(): Couldn't open NULL display. Coin warning in SoOffscreenRenderer::renderFromBase(): Could not set up an offscreen OpenGL context. Segmentation fault
I am using GEDIT and I would like to have a shortcut key that allows me to tell GEDIT (on Ubuntu) to force reloading from file system the currently opened file.
I would like to modify the content of a text file in Linux, in the following way:=> the file has several of these lines:./run_pest3 ./g134366.04080_0.062 x 2_d043 1 0.43 results_EC=> I want to modify all lines to be:./run_pest3 ./g134366.04080_0.062 x 2_d043 1 0.43 results_EC0.062i.e., the last number of $2 should be "attached" to the end of $7, for each line.
I have a problem with both genisoimage and mkisofs. Both of them are limited to 8 characters. There are very many options for them. Which one would remedy the issue?
Simple logging script that allows user to enter quick notes and questions, but I can not get it to pass punctuation '?. no matter what I type after 'n' i need that to be inserted at the end of the working project note file.Any help and working examples would be appreciated, but please also direct me to the proper reading material so I can learn something - not looking for someone to just do it for me.usage:
I have txt file with list of ID's and I need to insert comma in every line and then remove new line character so it'll become one long string. So to clarify, I have txt file content that looks like this.
234 5466 2356 ... and so on.
but I would like this to change to 234,5466,2356,... I looked at sed and tried to wrap my head around the commands but I guess my brain isn't smart enough. its really confusing for me. I've managed to add commas to end of line (sed "s/$/,/g" filename) but somehow I can't seem to remove new line character from each line.
I would like to create a .ksh script which cuts certain data from a document. I have tried to use SED and AWK and piping but its been some time since i have operated on Linux and my memory is patchy.
I am running gentoo openbox(rox file manager and desktop) I installed Digikam and Amarok. But I have problems with files which include special character in their names(such as �,�, �,ğ... ) The files are shown with strange and weird characters in the file dialogs of Digikam and Amarok.
I don't have this problem in other applications. I can create files with special character included. I think some settings do not agree with KDE4. How can I solve this problem? Does anyone have an idea? I also installed KDE systemsettings program but could not find a relevant config option for character encoding.
Anybody know and command to count any characters in file? I would like to know the total number of character " (quote) in file. My idea is to check if in a script the total number of this character is pair.
Whenever i try sudo gedit I get: Cannot open display: Run 'gedit --help' to see a full list of available command line options. how I can open gedit as root.
