Programming :: Searching Thunderbird Emails & Extracting Information
Jun 8, 2010
I have a load of emails in my Thunderbird trash folder and some of them (all with a similar subject) I want to extract the email address for them and put in a text file. I have located the trash file but it seems that it is just a big flat file with a concatenation of all my emails in it, varying number of header lines etc etc - ie, something which really doesn't seem to suit awk, sed, grep etc.Does anyone know of any way this might be accomplished, or any third party tools which may help?

I am an astronomy student using Ubunut 10.04, and a frequent user of IRAF ( an *nix image processing application geared toward astronomy). IRAF produces, amongst other things, a text document with various values on it (example below).
Code: K IRAF = NOAO/IRAFV2.14.1 version %-23s
#K USER = name %-23s
#K HOST = Balthazar computer %-23s
#K DATE = 2010-04-29 yyyy-mm-dd %-23s
[Code]...
Now, the information I'm actually interested is the X and Y coordinates down towards the bottom (in this case, 973.505, 271.474).
I have about 800 of these output text files, and I was wondering if there's any sort of script or command that could go through them (presumably reading from a list of file names), and extract the coordinates. Ideally, the output would be a list of coordinates (i.e. X-coordinate, Y-coordinate).

I killed my motherboard and have to put my hard drive into another machine as a slave to get the emails and other data. Where do i find my emails from thunderbird and can i open the emails from the install of Ubuntu in the other machine? Can i mount and read a drive that was a master and now is a slave?

By gross mistake I delated ALL my emails in my gmail account. I did this from thunderbird 3 so I deleted emails in the computer and the server. Fortunately my home folder still has the thunderbird 2 folder and and weighs 1.5 gigas with files callled inbox and sent mail weighting hundred of megas, so my emails ARE there.Problem is, when I open Thunderbird 2 the emails don't appear there. How can I get them back and into Google servers too?

I have two emails in my Inbox marked as new. I cannot delete them, move them, or mark them as read. Attempting to delete them fails with the message
Code:
Unable to delete messages in folder Inbox because it is in use by some other operation. Please wait for that operation to finish and then try again. Other operations fail silently. No other operations are listed in the activity manager (which doesn't actually let you /manage/ activities... just view them). How can I force deletion of these emails? Where in the filesystem are they stored?

how to get this working? I mean have an icon in the tray alerting of new emails. I used to have it working using moztraybiff [URL] in Thunderbird 2, but since I installed F11 and thus started using Thunderbird 3 I haven't been able to get this working. (Evolution, on the other hand, has this and it works fine, but I'm having trouble, [URL], with using Google calendars in it. If I could get that working I would think about switching to Evolution).

Disappointed with avast for linux, it only scans when you manually start a scan. I want antivirus software alerts immediately when a suspicious email arrives into Thunderbird inbox.

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

Say I have a text file with10 columns. I need to reorder them based on a list of column numbers that will reorder them.
My problem is this:
If I want to cut out 5 columns (columns 1,2,3,9,10) in the order 1,10,2,9,3 then I have tried using:
Code: cut -f1,10,2,9,3 my_file.txt > reordered_file.txt But this just extracts the columns in order as if I used:
Code: cut -f1,2,3,9,10 my_file.txt > reordered_file.txt How can I cut these columns and place them into the new file in the order I specify?
While this might seem quite trivial, I will actually need to do this for a file containing ~14000 columns with ~12000 columns that I need to extract in a particular order.

I'm a linux newbie and scripting novice and I'm trying to pull auditing info and dump it into a file. I made some login changes so it would get audited but I don't want to have to sift through the log to see who the user was and what was done. This is what I have below here and I can't seem to get it to extract the info want using the event id. The "ausearch -a $10" from the script should get it from the 10th column but it's not working.If I can get this to work I would like to add additional aureport options.
#!/bin/bash
yyyy=`date "+%Y"`
mm=`date "+%m"`

I have a file which looks something like this:
##########
some
text
text also includes empty lines
##########
some
more
text
##########
Basically all sections are separated by 10 hashes and I need to somehow only print all lines in the last section (the "some more text" part in the example above"). I tried all kind of things with sed and awk but I didn't find any way to identify the last "section".

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'm making a small script for searching and doing some operations with photos, but I'm kinda stuck on this little function:
Code:
function findallformat {
prefix=""
if [ $1 = -pre ] then
[code]....
That function should find for every file with a certain type; and you can specify a prefix using a "-pre" followed by the prefix that you want to search. The format should be "stackable", so you can use as many types that you want, without repeating the same function on the code.
Example: findallformat -pre IMG_ .JPG .CR2 #That should search files that start with "IMG_" and finishes with .JPG and .CR2. My problem it's that, when I try to use it on the script, it says "bash: syntax error near `token' unexpected `}'"

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?
