Programming :: Bash: Read A Text File Line By Line?

Jul 7, 2011

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?

Programming :: Open Two Text Files - Read Them Line By Line And Update Parameters Of The 3rd File ?

Oct 18, 2010

I have two txt files containing x and y coordinates: xcoord.txt & ycoord.txt. I need to open them; read them line by line to get each coordinate; then each time I need to update Xs and Ys parameters inside another file called "dc.in" with the grabbed values.

Finally each time I need to run two exe files ( dc_2002 and st_vac) and produce corresponding output for each Xs and Ys ( dc.in is an input file for this exe files)

I have written the following code but it does not work:

Programming :: Write An If Statement For The First Line Of A Text File Bash?

Feb 15, 2011

At the moment I got my md5sum checking working which I write to a text file and see below.

If the md5sum works it will write the output to check2.md5 test.txt: OK

If the md5sum fails it will write test.txt: FAILED

How do I write if statement to check the output whether or not the md5sum failed or not ?

check1="/home/ops/Desktop/test1/check1.md5"
check2="/home/ops/Desktop/test1/check2.md5"
cd /home/ops/Desktop/test1
md5sum test.txt > $check1

Programming :: Perl - Delete Line From Text File With Duplicate Match At Beginning Of Line

Apr 1, 2009

Was wondering if any perl guru's could help me with a quick log file adjustment. I have a text file that looks like so (tabs and newlines are revealed so you can see what separates the data):

There are maybe 100 lines of text in this file at any given time. I need to delete all duplicate lines only looking at the first bit of text prior to the first tab. It doesn't matter which one gets deleted as long as there are no two lines that begin with that same text at the beginning before the first tab. So in this example, either the fist line "1234" or the last line "1234" would need to be deleted. I already have code in my script that opens the files - I just need the code to read the text into an array and the part that would find matches based on the above criteria, and make the deletions.

If it would be easier, I can even do a system call and use SED (v4.1.5) and/or AWK (3.1.5) instead.

Programming :: Read File Line By Line?

Mar 23, 2011

so I have a script that creates couple of txt files. First file output is something like below..

cn=test,ou=something,ou=some,o=org
cn=testa,ou=something,ou=some,o=org
cn=testb,ou=something,ou=some,o=org

second file output is something like below..
usera
userb
userc

Quote:

userdn=`ldapsearch -x -h $server -LLL "(objectclass=person)" dn | grep dn: | cut -d" " -f2 > userdn.txt

for i in $(cat userdn.txt);do

ldapsearch -h $server -p 389 -x -D $admid -w $admpwd -s one -b "$userdn" dn | grep dn: | cut -d" " -f2 | cut -d"=" -f2 | cut -d"," -f1 > user.txt

for i $(cat user.txt);do

echo "$userdn"
done
done

when I ran both ldapsearch commands invidually, they work fine. But when I ran script, I got first file correctly but not the second one. It looks like its not reading the first file correctly and not setting the variable ($userdn) value correctly in the second ldapseach command. I want read first file first line and run the second ldapsearch and continues, then read the second line..and so on.

Programming :: Delete Line Of Text From Text File Via Shell?

Jan 13, 2010

I 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 :: Using Python To Merge Two Text Files Line For Line

Jul 6, 2010

I'm a bit new to Python programming and hoped that someone might be able to help with a problem I'm having. What I essentially want to do is to combine two text files line for line. I know how to do this in a bash script so to give you a better idea here's the code for that:

Code:

This is basically for adding on values to the end of a CSV file that uses ';' as the delimiter. So say file1 said:

And file2 said:

Then running this command would create merged_file1_and_file2 which would be:

The code I'm using at the moment is:

Code:

As I'm sure any experienced python programmer will see, this prints out the first line of the file "csvraw" and then all of the lines of "stamps" and then the remainder of "csvraw".

What I'd like to do is something like: (pseudo code, I know it's not python ;-))

Code:

Is this possible? I've tried googling and my Python Pocket Reference hasn't been much help. I've looked at pickling but that doesn't seem appropriate.

Programming :: Bash Reading Multiple Files Line By Line?

I have a set of files containing data that I need to re-arrange into one single property list.

The files that I have look like this:

Code:

So the lines in the files match up but I haven't found a way of reading several files line by line.

Programming :: BASH Sort List By End Of Line To X Position In Each Line?

Aug 18, 2010

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)

[code]....

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.

Programming :: Read In A File 1 Line At A Time?

Oct 22, 2010

i am trying to read in a file 1 line at a time and for some reason it stops printing out at about line 62,000.

i am doing this:
Code:
while(fgets(c0, 1085, fstream0) != NULL)

but after about 62,0000 lines it stops printing. no seg-fault, no core dump. it just stops printing to the terminal then returns me to the command line after a couple of minutes. as a hack i am doing split -l 50000 on the input and calling my program 5 times.is there some limitation on fgets that i am not understanding ?

Programming :: Read Each Line Of A File As Input?

Jun 21, 2011

I'm writing a program which now accepts user input:

Code:
echo "Enter a date in the format YYYY MM DD hh mm ss."

read gregyr gregmo gregdy greghr gregmn gregsc This lets the user input a date and time, such as 2011 06 21 15 12 45, and have each number assigned to their corresponding variable. Later in the program, these variables are put into an equation, and then the terminal spits out the answer. Now I have to have the program read all of the lines from a text file, which is in this format, assign the variables.

300
400
500

900
800
700
600
500
400
300
