View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a C program, and using Autotools. I have a large text file that I need to include verbatim, as data for my program.I used to have a hacked-together Perl script that would take a file like this: Code: A Rabbi, a Priest, and a Minister walked into a bar.The bartender said, "What is this, a joke?" I found this site that contains instructions for doing exactly what I want, but that technique requires GNU's ld, and the whole point of using Autotools in the first place is to make my project platform- and compiler-independent.I should point out that, according to the Autotools help, I can do this with a script called either "txtc.sh" or "txtc.sh.in". Unfortunately, Google can't find such a script, and it's not in any package that I can find.

The file has a predictable pattern, let's say 3 letters and 3 numbers and I want to insert text in the middle of those 2 patterns. Say ABC123 is the file name. As a result, the file name should be ABC.blah.123
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to either locate a script that is similar to what I am needing or figure out a better way of doing what I need. I have mutiple shops with AIX unix servers, using ksh with virtual terminals that connect. since these are on an internal network we have them connecting to the server as either usr01, usr02, etc. what I need to do is add 15 user's ranging from usr01-usr15 into /etc/passwd each usr is identical in such that each line contains
Code:
usr01::0:0::/usr/tops:/bin/ksh
only difference is the usr# changes. I wrote a script where I was just adding these all to the /etc/passwd but now I have been tasked with adding them to these shops but with out any duplicates. is there any way to have a script check the file to see if the usr# exists and if so proceed to the next number and then input the usr#::0:0::/usr/tops:/bin/ksh into the file?
I need to replace part of a line in a file with multiple lines, however need to separate each line with a newline is this possible?
Example, need to remove line 2
And insert line similar to below:
If the multiple lines were part of a text file, would inserting a text file automatically include newline characters?
alright, i have a LFS script and im pretty sure i know how to use it correctly, the only big iff i have with it up where it says WGETLIST="" should i insert the website where all the packages are contained? and the same would be assumed for the MD5 checks as well.im just a little lost as to what should go in between the quotes.

i am on processing text tasks And i found that if you assign a text to a variable is chomp'ed automatically the newline
Code:
variable=$(cat file.txt)
The problem is i can only access the items/lines using:
Code:
for line in $variable
do
echo $line
# Other commands
done
how do i convert this to an indexed array. More importantly, how do i get access to individual $line[0], ..., $line[n] Another thing, if the file.txt, has lines with spaces it is a mess using the for...in..., but echoing prints line by line...o_0
I need to insert 3-4 lines of text to the beginning of a text file. The file is a largish MYSQL dump, the result of a backup shell script. This shell script should insert the required text.I've wrestled with sed, but lost.
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.

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!

I want to create a script wherein it will put a string somewhere on the text file. I tried to create a script using redirect ">" and then put it on top of the file.
The text contains code...
This will probably be a simple question for the experts here, but I've been googling and testing and trying for a few hours with no luck. I'm tired and stumped. My simple test case:
Code:
$ cat test.txt
First colon: Get everything after: first colon.I want to return all the text after the first colon. So that would be "Get everything after: first colon." This is what I currently have:
Code:
$ sed 's/.*: //' test.txt
first colon.This returns everything after the second colon.

I have many files in a folder from which I need to extract some contents, these are basically text files wich have individual lines with (i.e)
name: john
address: whatever
phone: 123456
Some caveats
1. Sometimes a line might be missing.
name: johnn
phone: 123456
2. Lines are not in the same line-numbers across the files I did try some things with awk based on google searches but I couldn't extract the data of each file into a single line (this is the ultimate goal):
john,whatever,123456
I don't have knowledge other than having put some bash scripts together for backup jobs, so I am open to install anything that could to pull this off.
I have a text file that contains the following string of numbers and letters:
Code:
Mean track length: 3.45 +/- 1.23 mm
or
Code:
Mean track length: 22.45 +/- 12.23 mm
In the first example, I would like to grab only 3.45 and write it into a new file. Then I would like to grab only 1.23 and write it into another file.
I have 80,000 files to do and those numbers can be different every time.
