Programming :: Cannot Match Strings That Appear To Be Identical
Feb 25, 2011
i have an sql table with 2 columns i run a script that randomly selects a word from the table in column 1.
the word is displayed on the screen and I guess what it means i concatenate the randomly selected word and the answer the script looks for a match in mysql if it finds a match it says "Good job!" if there is no match it will say "not correct". However when i get it right it says not correct even though when i echo the variables they look exactly the same. the script below:
#!/bin/bash
var=$(mysql translator -u root --password=*-N<<EOF
SELECT word FROM tagalog ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1
EOF
)
[Code]....

I have that script that checks the nfs mount points:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
#set -xv
test="DO_NOT_DELETE"
rc=0
[Code]....
I am no expert in loops and it took me all day to write that. I couldn't really tell how to match the string in $df_file and $fs_share, so I did a little workaround with a count.

I am using sed to process an ascii tcpdump file whereby each packet is processed into a line with the same number of columns and useful information is pulled out like the time, packet type, length, and also IP addresses, payload type and port numbers where appropriate. The time is already changed to seconds, followed by the protocol over ethernet, such as IP, IP6, ARP etc. and I can change anything it detects as IP, IP6 and ARP into some other string, pulling out necessary information depending on the protocol and payload.The beginning part of the search for IP starts with the sed search /([0-9][0-9]*.[0-9][0-9]*)[ ]IP[ ,] ... /, where time is in seconds and ellipses means more stuff, and likewise for IP6 and ARP.But how do I process the lines that are NOT IP, IP6 or ARP? (Specifically NOT /IP[ ,]/, /IP6[ ,]/ or /ARP[ ,]/.) So that I can format them into a string with the same number of columns.

I have the following query:
Code:
$sql="SELECT table1.datetime, table1.user_id, table2.ip, FROM table1,table2 WHERE id='$id' AND (table1.id = table2.id AND table1.datetime = table2.datetime)";
In table2 the datetime fields are about 1 to 2 seconds off due to the source of the data, which I cannot change.
Is it possible via a query match table1.datetime & table2.datetime by HH:MM (ie. to the minute instead of to the second)?

I wrote this small program that will truncate a string that's entered in by the user.An example of its usage:if the user enters in a string say "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" the program will only take the first 9 characters and truncate the rest so that the user can be prompted for a second string and not be worried about remaining characters left in the stream.Now this program works O.K. but I would like to find something in C that has this functionality build into it...Does anyone know of any function that will accomplish this.

I am trying to replace a section of a file between the first instances of the strings {}, with the contents of another file. Example of the format of the file I'm trying to modify
Code:
Servername=something.com
hosts {
macaddress1
macaddress2
[code].....
Then captured all the "macaddress#"s to a variable and used sed to swap
sed "s/$CURRENTDATA/$NEWDATA/" filename
However I get 1 of 2 errors,
Using a small number of macs in "$NEWDATA"
sed: command garbled: s/ macaddresshere
Or when using a large number of macs in the $NEWDATA variable get
bash: /usr/bin/sed: Arg list too long.
how to replace a large block of txt in one file with another large block from another?

I use udhcp with some of my minimal installs. I've messed around with the code a bit when it wasn't working correctly - a few years ago. I will find time - I hope soonish - to figure out how to do a few other things with it.
For now though, I'm using this string to grab my ip after startup
Code: Select allsu -c 'ifconfig eth0&&ifdown -a&&ifup lo&&ifup eth0'&&/sbin/ifconfig eth0
I realize I could substitute ifup -a but I'm more interested in figuring out how to make ifup wait for the ip to become available if it is not available yet.
Never mind that one, just typing out the question answered it for me, when I find it in the scripting man ' ; : " & =
Or if there are any other suggestions for better construction of the string.

I have a PHP script written that is checking a string to see if it contains a link in it (i.e. a URL). I have the following if statement, that uses 3 possible regular expressions to determine if there is a link or not.
Code:
// check if we found a link
// links are denoted by strings that:
// - contain http://
// - contain www.*.*
[Code]....
I'm not convinced yet that writing a shell script to do this is the best course of action. If someone is capable of doing this with a Perl or a Python script that's fine too. If you want to make it super high performance and write it in assembly

I am trying a search for a pattern in the file. I can have any character in the pattern. I am pretty sure I will have $, ", ', ^, ` etc., The Problem I am facing is if I use "" (double quotes) to enclose the pattern, it gives special meaning to $, ^ and " within the string. I have no control over the pattern input. I am getting it from some other file. On the other hand, If I use '' (single quotes) to enclose the pattern, it gives special meaning to the ' (apostrophe) within the string and terminates the pattern prematurely. How do I disable the special meaning these characters have? For example, in perl, I could enclose the pattern within Q and E. Is there an equivalent in grep pattern expression? I could find one in the man page of grep. Is there a solution to this problem?

I need to make a daemon which listens to port 81 for messages like [URL] So far I made a daemon which serves as a simple stream server: I set up a socket to listen to a non-reserved port (like 9999), but I don't know how to read the query strings.

I have an interpteter that supports string literals, and the way it works is that the lexer returns the entire string as a single token, with the quotes removed and escape sequences replaced with the literal characters they represent.
I already implemented single-quote strings, they don't interpret any characters specially except for the single quote. I partially implemented double-quoted strings, they already support all the same backslash escape sequences that C does. But I would also want to add variable substitution.
The way it would work is that "${expression}" would interpret the expression (which could just be a variable name) and replace itself with the result. But I have no idea how to do this.
In case it matters, I'm using a hand-written lexer and recursive-descent parser.

...and returning the index of the found element in its array.
I have:
for ((i=0; i < ${#array1[@]}; i++)); do
# Read each line of the file test
if [[ $(eval "sed -n '$(($i+1))'p test") == *${array2[0]}* ]]
stuff
I want to find the index of the found substring in array2 and only if it isn't found, move on to the next element of array2. I don't know the size of array2 so that [0] has just got to go.

I have a directory of orchestral music .ogg files from a family member. Each track is from a different artist and the CDDB entry adds a ":" character after the artist name in the track title.
Here is an example of what I am referring to:
Code: Select all13_-_Mozart:_Sonata_in_A_major_KV_331.ogg
I would like to parse file names in any given directory and search for the string Code: Select all: and replace it with Code: Select all_ According to this post on stackoverflow, I can use Perl to accomplish this task. I've tried Code: Select allperl -i.bak -pe 's/:/_/' but since I am still learning Perl I'm probably commiting a PEBKAC error.
How would I go about solving this issue with regular expressions using Perl?

I'm trying to search for several strings, which I have in a .txt file line by line, on another file.
So the idea is, take input.txt and search for each line in that file in another file, let's call it rules.txt.
So far, I've been able to do this, to search for individual strings:
Code: Select allimport re
shakes = open("output.csv", "r")
for line in shakes:
if re.match("STRING", line):
print line,
How can I change this to input the strings to be searched from another file?
So far I haven't been able to.

How can i use different starting and ending delimiters in awk to search for strings or numbers like:
:string"another_string
'number+another_number
now i want string and number as output from above lines. But if i use delimiter as : or ' it will print the entire line coz second delimiter is not same as first one.

I am trying to develop a method of reading files generated by other programs. I am trying to find the most versatile approach. I have been trying bash, and have been making good progress with sed, however I was wondering if there was a "standard" approach to this sort of thing. The main features I would like to implement concern reading finding strings based on various forms of context and storing them to variables and/or arrays. Here are the most general tasks:
a) Read the first word(or floating point) that comes after a given string (solved in another thread)
b) Read the nth line after a given string
c) Read all text between two given strings
d) Save the output of task a), task b) or task c) (above) into an array if the "given string(s)" is/are not unique.
e)Read text between two non-unique strings i.e. text between the nth occurrence of string1 and the mth occurrence of string2
As far as I can tell, those five scripts should be able to parse just about any text pattern. I am by no means fluent in these languages. But I could use a starting point. My main concern is speed. I intend to use these scripts in a program that reads and writes hundreds of input and output files--each with a different value of some parameter(s).
The files will most likely be no more than a few dozen lines, but I can think of some applications that could generate a few hundred lines. I have the input file generator down pretty well. Parsing the output is quite a bit trickier. And, of course, the option for parallelization will be very desirable for many practical applications.

I am looking for an easy way to convert any given maze.txt of any size to a internal array of strings(dynamically allocated). Important is that dimensions of the maze (row, col) shouldn't be written by the user instead they have to be somehow read from the file. This is not my homework assignment! It is a small part of a project that i never dealt with. I never read files to C string.... I made it for specific maze dimensions, but want it to work with any given .txt file.

Something very handy to do in a Linux shell, is manipulating files and strings - essentially parsing data. Write a utility which will scan in a text file and search and replace strings. We also want to keep track of how many strings we've replaced.
I know that my command would look like this: <utility name> <filename> <stringToSearchFor> <stringToReplaceWith>
Code: #!/bin/bash

I need to edit the sudo file on lots of machines. I figure the easiest way is to run a for loop to ssh to each box, sed the sudoers file to a new file & copy/move back over the top of the original (and of course, change permissions accordingly)
The problem is, I'm not sure how to add a line after a match with sed.
So if my file looks like:

I'd like it to add the new sudoer after "other" so the file looks like:
