Software :: Append Text To File
Dec 2, 2009I want to append some text to the file, files are mostly big, more then 100 mb. I found the cat command, so I can create a new txt file and then append it to the original file with it. Two questions:
1. Can I append text to the file instead of creating the new file and then appending it to the original file? eg:
Code:
cat file.avi "some text" > newfile.avi
2. cat takes several seconds to execute the merging files together, it seems that it is reading the original file first, is there a way skip the reading and just append the file?
OpenSUSE :: Append Text To An Entry In An Existing File?
Aug 30, 2010How do you append text to an entry in an existing file? For example, lets say I have a file called "env.logon" in /home/myself/bin that contains the following text:
PATH=/bin:/sbin If I wanted to add, via command line, ":/usr/bin:/usr/sbin" to the PATH= and I
used the "echo" command (echo "PATH=:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin) it would create a second entry and my file would look like:
PATH=/bin:/sbin
PATH=:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
What I want is for it to look like:
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
Is there a way to get this result via command line?

General :: Loop Append Text To Text Files?
Jan 15, 2010may be an advanced question but I need to know how to do this. Here at work I am in charge of recruiting and we have about 1,000 resumes in already. All of the resumes are in a .pdf format. I need to rename every .pdf in the following format:{firstnameLastname}.pdfThe only way I know how to do this is to convert all the .pdf files to text, extract the name out of the first few lines of text, import into excel, and then use VBA to rename the files in mass:Here is my logic so far:~Deskop/a = houses all the .pdfresumesOpen terminal: Code: cd ~/Desktop/afor f in *.pdf; do pdftotext -raw $f; done That will convert all of the preceding resumes into text filesNow I would like to append the name of the text file into the last line of the text file. So, for example, for Resume1.txt, I want to append "Resume1.txt" to the last line within Resume1.txt. So after I run the command I open Resume1.txt and on the last line within I want to see "Resume1.txt" on the last line, at the end of the resume.How can I do this? I would like to use a loop and have the terminal append the filename to the body of the text file until all of the have been appended.

General :: Append Text With AWK Or SED?
Mar 19, 2010I'm doing an assignment for school, and while we have not yet learned regular expressions, my teacher would like us to use AWK to append text to certain lines in a file. What we've had to do is creating a listing of all links and directories in the /etc folder and place them in a text file. From this, we were to cut the first field (Permissions) and the ninth field (filename) and create another text file. Now the part that I'm struggling with is this and I'm not sure if I should be using sed or awk. We're supposed to ADD the text "DIR" to the beginning of any line that is a directory, and "LNK" to any that is a link, like so:
DIRdrwxr-xr-x redhat-lsb
DIRdrwxr-xr-x rhgb
LNKlrwxrwxrwx rnDIRc.key
DIRdrwxr-xr-x rpm
Obviously, I realize that the first character in the permissions denotes what sort of file it is, hence when I created my text file I used
ls -l | grep "^d" > file.txt
and
ls -l | grep "^l" >> file.txt
I'd like to learn how to properly do this, but struggling through pages on the internet hasn't been helping, nor has the --help command. Therefore, while I would like the answer, I'd also like to know what the heck I'm doing For example, I know I could delete lines with regex using d/[STUFF I WANT TO DELETE]/g (To get rid of all occurences) and I can substitute using s/foo/bar But I'm unaware of anyway to ADD text upon certain occurences, let alone two different circumstances.

Jan 13, 2010I have to delete a certain line of text from the a textfile via ubuntu's shell scripting.I have done research, and it seems that most people advocate the usage of sed /d option. sed makes does not edit the text file. Hence, most options I discovered involved the use of a temporary variable/textfile and then overwriting the old file with the temporary new file. Is there anyway whereby I can bypass the use of temporary storage containers? I hope there is any magical combination of commands to edit the file directly.

Programming :: Formatting Fields And Text Being Displayed From Text File?
Feb 9, 2011I want to display the contents of a particular log file (simple text file, I mean in Linux). But there is a problem: The contents need to be organized in a fixed format. Have a look at this log file:

Code:
User Name: XYZ
Reported Problems Description: Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah!

So, while displaying the contents of above file on a web page, I want to format the field names found in the log file: User Name:, Reported Problems Description:, and Remarks:. These fields may contain a variable length of text and no specific line number is assumed for them to appear on.
The desired output should look like this:
User Name: XYZ
Reported Problems Description: Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah!

Programming :: Algorithm - File System Block Number For Immediate Read
May 20, 2010algorithm:breada
input: file system block number for immediate read
file system block number for asynchronous read

get buffer for first block
if(buffer data not valid)

if(second block not in cache) {

Here is an algorithm for block read algorithm. I have problem in
line 1: If buffer data is valid why is it releasing the buffer?
line 2: If buffer data valid why is it initiating disk read. It should have read directly from buffer?
line 3: It should be the first condition as if it is there in cache then it should return it without delay?
