I need a script which can format the below text file which contains comments
Code:
Code:
Output should be:

Script should compare the column name and paste the output in above said manner.
I 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:
sampleLog.txt
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!
[code]....
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!
[code]....
Well, what I am trying to do may sound wierd to some of you. The filed "Reported Problems Description:" can possible contain text which embeds colon (.
I need to extract som text from a text file. The text is a test log with system info at the top and results further down. What I need is to add different tags with formatting before and after each line. I have prepared a template with html formatting, but the number of lines in the test log may be different from case to case, so I need to be able to add formatting tags by need. Can this be done using bash script, sed, awk, head, tail... ?

I am trying to match a file consisting of words to many separate other wordfiles in a specific directory. one by one.
What i want the script to do is to report how many matching words my main file has with every file in the directory, each in turn
setup:
Each of em are plain text files with 1 word per line
Output should be something like:
SCRIPT REPORT:
I have a text file called file1.txt containing many lines eg.
line1
line2
line3
line4
line5
line6
Then i have another text file called file2.txt contains
3
5
6
Is there a command to remove the lines in file1.txt based on the keywords in file2.txt? note: It should remove line3,line5,line6 based on 3,5,6
Is there a way, besides writing a PERL program, to read each line one by one in file A and tell if this line also exists in file B? Can this be done via a shell script?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

From this file, I need line ~ 1.100 to line ~16.000 (these lines are always the same btw, this may make the solution easier, dunno) to be copy/pasted to another file, where the lines ~500 to ~15.000 (also, every time the same) should be overwritten by the aforementioned lines...I haven't found or come up with anything that works yet, mostly I find solutions to copy everything from one file to another but I can't find something to specifically overwrite a part of a file with part of another.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two files
Code:
we have to consider here $5 , $6 , $7 for our search
file2.txt
Code:
Here we should take only $2 for comparison. As you can most of the $2 field records has value and some do not have value.
Question:I want to take the fields $5 , $6 , $7 from file 1 and compare it with $2 field from file 2. and the rsult should be like this:
Code:
The final output will look like this
Actual file1.txt (before running the code)
Code:
FIle1.txt after running the above said condition
Code:
So the field $5 , $6 , $7 should get replaced from the matched valued of $1(file1)
What I plan to do is, create a duplicate file of a text file, and then append some text into the new text file.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I have a variable, say xvar, which can take both string and integer value and I want to perform an operation in following 2 conditions:1. Either xvar is null2. xvar equals 2[ -z "$xvar" ] || [ $xvar -eq 2 ] && <some-code>Doesn't seem to work if xvar takes string valuesI know that since I have no restriction on xvar, I can get away with string comparison in second test too, ie[ -z "$xvar" ] || [ "$xvar" = "2" ] && <some-code>
But, 'Sams teach yourself shell script in 24 hrs' says that [ expr1 -eq expr2 ], if either is string, it assumes 0 valueIs it true

I want to compare 2 files and show the differences in a text file.
For example, if i open File A an B in notepad
File A:
File B:

line3 is missing in File B
So if I did a File compare (line by line), the differences will be in line3, line4, line5, line 6.
But I dont want it to be like that.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two arrays of data, called data1.dat and data2.dat. each contains 60 data. What I want to do is to compare the data in each file and write the counting into bins. It goes like this. First, take the first data in data1.dat file and compare with the 60 data in data2.dat file. If there is any data which is same with the data in data1.dat then it count in bin. The total bins are also 60. Next it goes to the second data in data1.dat and compare with all the 60 data in data2.dat. If there is any data same then it add in second bin. And it repeats to all the data in data1.dat

I would like to use the command line to compare two directories against each other. I have two folders called music collection that have evolved over the last year on two separate computers. 90% of the two folders are the same, but there are small differences. I would like a solution that will print out all the differences so I can analyze them and choose what I want to do with them, before merging the two folders. for example.I would like some kind of output that shows the differences and where its located.
comparing MusicCollection1 and MusicCollection2
dif1.mp3 located in MC1/folder1 (this one I might want to keep and merge over)
dif2.mp3 located in MC2/folder3 (while this one I might realize does not exist in both folders because I deleted it for a reason)
I've looked at sort, uniq, and even tried scripting my own solution, but haven't come up with an elegant solution thus far. Its important that it is recursive because there are about 15 folders in Music collection and more folders under those 15.
I'm trying to write a script that takes two arguments, the first argument is a number, and the second argument is a filename.

if [ $1 -h $2 ]
then
echo "$1 is bigger than $2"
