How do you append text to an entry in an existing file? For example, lets say I have a file called "env.logon" in /home/myself/bin that contains the following text:
PATH=/bin:/sbin If I wanted to add, via command line, ":/usr/bin:/usr/sbin" to the PATH= and I
used the "echo" command (echo "PATH=:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin) it would create a second entry and my file would look like:
PATH=/bin:/sbin
PATH=:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
What I want is for it to look like:
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
Is there a way to get this result via command line?

I am thinking of appending something to each line in a text file with Java. I prefer not write a new file with content appended from the old one.That 'something' would probably be Time Stamp when the file is created (which is same for each line).I am not sure Java provide some easy way for it or not

I think it's somewhere on my rather large hard discs (to of them divided into various partitions).I'm trying to write a command line that will find it based on a quote that is in it: "our fathers brought forth"I have tried various configurations of grep, and or combining grep with find, but I'm getting nowhere. I really don't understand the syntax of either command, or how they work together, and the examples that I can find are really no help at all.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to read the contents of a file into something else. I have a file.txt that I am working with, I want to read the file and take the data and run some commands with the data that it read. So if it read www.yahoo.com I want to be able to nslookup. Does that make sense? I have been trying to use the read command but that does not seem to work. I even was trying to read filename | > filename to see if I could even read any of the data at all. Nothing is working.
View 8 Replies View Relatedwant to watch the file continoulsy for any newly written data to file.Presently i am periodically opening the file and checking for the newly updated contents.Is there something like refresing the file descriptor, since open is a system call, calling it many times may affect performance. Does the tail program opens file multiple times to check for the updated contents when used with -f option.Can some one explain or give some links on how the filedescriptors remembers its end contents while some other programs keeps updating the file.

How can read the file /var/etc/allInOne.cfg and distribute its contents on multiple cfg files using C language. /var/etc/allInOne.cfg contain the data and the path of each text file.
The source file "/var/etc/allInOne.cfg "look like this:
line1
line2
...
line10
filePath:/var/etc/file1.cfg
line12
line13
...
line14
filePath:/var/etc/file2.cfg
linen
..
filePath:/var/etc/filen.cfg
the result will be :
The expected result is:
/var/etc/file1.cfg will contain line1 to line10
/var/etc/file2.cfg will contain line 12 to line13
/var/etc/filen.cfg will contain linen to linen-1
I have multiple HTML files in a folder. there is a <h2> tag like this:
Code:
<h2>some text</h2>
in each file. I want to write a shell script/batch file to add this tag in <head> section of each file:
Code:
<!-- TITLE= "same text from h2 tag" -->
Note that <h2>some text</h2> in some files has 1 or more linebreaks and so I couldn't capture tag content using a simple grep or...
for example:
<h2>first part of text
second line of text</h2>
The line break shouldn't be shown in <!-- TITLE= "same text from h2 tag" -->. The script has to capture tag content & skip line breaks.
How can I write to a file multiple times using fwrite without affecting the previous writes?The method shown below accepts a file name, buffer and offset. The method opens the file in reading/writing mode and writes the content of the buffer at offset.

I want to be able to check the contents of a text file for a specific string and remove it from the file from the command prompt. I would basically be searching through a number of files and if a specific string is found I would like it removed automatically. pretty much a find and replace, were the replace is nothing. any one got any ideas on how you would do this.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to append some text to the file, files are mostly big, more then 100 mb. I found the cat command, so I can create a new txt file and then append it to the original file with it. Two questions:
1. Can I append text to the file instead of creating the new file and then appending it to the original file? eg:
Code:
cat file.avi "some text" > newfile.avi
2. cat takes several seconds to execute the merging files together, it seems that it is reading the original file first, is there a way skip the reading and just append the file?
