Programming :: Finding Only String (Already There) In File
May 10, 2010
I have a file in which I have string called "already there" in some line of it. I want that if the string is present enter some loop..
like
if(( grep "already there" $file is true ))
then
--
--
fi
But the thing is when I make grep it gives the whole line in which this string is present and gives some error: if[ grep "already there" file ]: command not found. I am very new to shell scripting.

I've found some scripts that replaces a string in a file but it's not quite working for me.
And I'm trying to replace a tag in an xml file that looks like this
So I ran a command line like this perl -w -i -p -e "s/xmlns="'http://mydomain.org/replacethese.xsd'">/>/g" testfile.xml
And I get a error output
Search pattern not terminated at -e line 1.
Found the script from this blog [url]

I know how to replace a particular instance (say 3rd one) of a word in a line using sed based on the sed one-liners. However I would like to replace a particular instance of a word in the entire file.
For example, here is a file:
Code:
John
Betty
Jack
Ron
Jack
Paul
So now I would like to replace the second instance of Jack (in red color) with "Rob" (for example). Not quite sure how to do that? I tried couple of things from here but they did not work.

I have question about replacing a string in a file.
How can I replace the printerb's 10.1.1.1 to something else(10.1.1.2, for example) without replace printera's 10.1.1.1 accidentally?
I have tried perl -e -pi "s/10.1.1.1/10.1.1.2/g" /etc/hosts. but, perl replace both 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.1.2.

Quote:Originally Posted by topcatI would like to know how i can write a shell script to delete a line if a particular pattern exists?E.g. I have a text file with multiple lines. Say 1000s. in the following pattern.
username@email.com:149.0.3.4:1
username1@email.com:149.0.3.4:1
username1@email.net:149.0.3.4:1
username1@email.edu:149.0.3.4:1
If the patternusername@email.com exists then the line "username@email.com:149.0.3.4:1 should be deleted from the file.I have a very similar question but I need to delete one line in a file which matches one very precise instance of a string only. Let's assume I have a file composed of thousands of lines and let's call the file chap-secrets. Let's take the following sample entries:
Code:
#USERNAME SERVER PASSWORD IP
pp pptpd blahblah *

I am having trouble writing a script that monitors a text file. When the file contains number 1 (or any other string that is not a command) it does nothing, but when it is something different from 1, it executes that command.
So, there are 2 files: monitor.mon - this is the file that will be checked constanlty; and test.sh - the script that does the job. The monitor.mon file will have its content modified by php. This means a web page will have a form where I input commands and writes does commands in the file. Test.sh will watch when the file's content changes from character 1 to a command, execute that command and write back a 1 so it will not execute it more times.
I tried combining while and if but with no success. Tried reading the file with cat and grep -e but it doesn't seem to recognize when content changes.

I've been trying to understand pthread in C a little better. So I made a simple program that takes in a string from the command line and creates a thread to print the string. I've looked online and copied the basic concepts but there are something things I'm confused about. The programs works just fine, but I have questions. Here's what I have so far.
[Code]....
One thing I'd like to know is why the 3rd argument in the pthread_create function which is my SendMessage function needs to be typecasted to a void pointer and then send the address of the function. Also as for the 4th argument, I would see typecasting to void pointer in some of the pthread examples I saw online, but in my case I'm passing a char pointer, would this be correct? In which case would I ever want to pass a void pointer?
Do I need a pthread_exit(NULL) in my main and in the SendMessage function? If so, why? I added the sleep() function so that I could let the pthread_exit function in my SendMessage function execute first. I simply saw that the online examples on pthread had pthread_exit() in both locations.

I wanted to find and replace a string from a perl file. I have written a script in bash which runs the following command.
perl -pi -e "s/$findstring/$replacestring/" testfile
where as $findstring = print F_WC_TMP"$line
";
and $replaceString = $line = join ' ', split ' ', $line; print F_WC_TMP"$line
";
But when I am running the above command, i think it is replacing the $findstring with the above mentioned string and hence it contains a $line, it is looking for the variable $line and not finding the exact string. I am confused about how to search for a string that contains $ in it and replace it with another $string.

So if I'm given a location of a file like:
How can I just take the type of the file at the end? I know I can use strrchr() for a period to get the pointer to the period just before file type. Is there a build in string function that will just take the rest of the string from a certain point on forward in the string? I know it wouldn't be much work to make it myself, but I figured I would find out if it already existed before doing it.
