bash 3.1.17(2) I'm trying do write a shell script which must operate on each line of an ASCII text file. So, all the code must be inside a loop, and inside the loop, the first thing should be to read the next line from the file. I have the bash read command. But it reads from stdin. Any way to make read from a file?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a set of files containing data that I need to re-arrange into one single property list.

I'm trying to make another file annotation script a little speedier than it has been by the up-until-now proven method of checking the last four characters in a filename before the "dot" (eg .jpg, .psd) against a list of known IPTC categories and Exiv2 command files. It occurred to me that if one script generated a list of files in directory foo, and the same or another script sorted that list by that four-letter tag,then that list could be used(instead of a for/do/done loop on the real files in the folder) by the command-file-matching script to "vomit out" which annotator file would go with file nastynewfile.jpg, f'r'instance. The script I had been using for this task looks like this:
Code:
while read 'line';
do
sp=$(echo $line)
vc=$(echo $sp | cut -d"," -f1)
cv=$(echo $sp | cut -d"," -f2)

Where I seem to be stuck is with how to sort the lines in templist, which may be any number of different lengths, from back to front. sort -k looked promising, except it seems only to work the other way round. I thought of invoking a
Code:
q=$(expr length $line); echo $q
n=$[q-8]; echo $n
kind of thing, but that presented the problems of how to sort by those, how to tell sort where to find them (grep?) and how to "stitch them back in" to the original list, which is what I want to sort in the first place.
I want to be able to run a piece of AWK code on a record specified by number, not by a regex.

Is there a way to count the number of errors- an exit variable $? from one function?
The output from the exit variable (either erroneous or correct (1) or (0)) is it possible to add the erroneous one ups?
Does any one know what syntax i could use to allow me to replace all instances at the beginning of a line with ones.

I have a very large data file, with 3 numbers in each line, ex. 3 4 5 ; 6 7 8.I want to add two numbers (0 and 1) at the end of every line, and a string at the beginning of the line. Does anyone know a efficient way to do so?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have no Bash skills but Im badly in need of a script to move the first 20,000 or whatever number of files from a directory containing over 200,000 files to a new directory. The problem is that I cant access the directory because its so large so I want to break it into chunks, but keep the files in order if possible. If you know of a script to meet my needs, please post it. Otherwise Ill post my fumblings with Bash until I find the right way to fix my problem.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI want to move files from a $SOURCEDIR to a $DESTBASE/$DESTDIR. Under $DESTBASE there are many directories, and I need to test beforehand if a file from $SOURCEDIR already exists in any of them.
This is obviously extremely slow, and the real use case involves dozens of dirs and thousands of files. Creating a temporary "index" file for the find command (instead of running it every iteration) speeds it up a little, but it's still very clumsy.

I'm writing a mass snmp toner check which polls any toners available to be snmp polled, however when using a loop statement I get the results on different lines; which sounds good, however the tool I use to check with (nagios) ignores the new lines.
Is there any way I can get the output on one line? Also, I need to raise a fault if any of the toners are below a specific level (with nagios you raise faults with the exit code) - any way I can do this without exiting the loop. Code below with bits and bobs commented out.

Below is the part of my bash script which uses awk to to fetch a line from a file. Choice is set by a case, and i know it is receiving a proper number because of the echo statement. The problem is with the syntax of the awk command it says the error is with one of the ', but when I run the command at the command line and replace "$choice" with a number it works properly. So I am not sure what is going on.
echo "announcing choice $choice"
command="awk 'NR = "$choice"' beerpong.txt | say"

I need a command to search a string in a file and then to convert the next string in the same line from hexadecimal to binary. I was able to put everything in capitals. The original file can be as such:
E 2
C 1 794
T ffff
E 2
C 1 787
It is not always FFFF! I am trying to do this in a file at once, not reading line by line (using while).

I'm writing a Bash script to take IPTC keywords from a text file and write them, via Exiv2, to several (first batch is 100) JPEG files in a single directory. The script has one while loop inside another while loop, both terminated, but I'm pretty sure that's not my problem. I think it's how I'm incrementing the "counter" variable, although it could also be the method of parsing the text lines from the file (using cut with delimiters that have worked fine in simpler scripts).
Here's the code as I've worked it up to this point.
Code:
And yes, "keywords" checks out in Crimson Editor, Emacs GUI and nano as an ASCII file with UNIX line endings. No issues on that score.
Feeding each line consecutively into a terminal (excepting the exiv2 command) works fine: each variable echoes with the part of the text line used as a variable value as it should, even when the b variable is incremented the quick&dirty way (up arrow three commands and hit enter).
Running the above script in eval mode (sh -x) stalls after setting the b variable to one and reading in the first line of text. I'd like to know why. I'd also like some advice on another reliable method of parsing the read-in lines.
I am writing a bash script to run everyday and output results to a file. When the same results are produced i want to overwrite the line from the previous day. (Or remove and add). So if the script finds a variable in a line. i want it to output the results to that line . sed -i did not work for me; sed: couldn't open temporary file ./sedTvOCEg: Permission denied
