This line if [[ $hamachi_reachable = true && $lan_reachable = true ]]; then is always evaluating to true. I gave two ips that are not valid, so that both variables would become false yet the whole expression is evaluating as true. With that set -x in there, I get this output.
Where am I going wrong?
Code:
I blame myself but I am lazy person. Now I am trying to learn a bit a bash scripting. But saving any script to see how it works is so boring. You know these exercises:
Code:
Now save this in a file - say helloworld.sh (haha), chmod and execute to see
Code:
Is there a way to execute text as a script? I mean
Code:
I'll try to be clear but I think I'm in a mess with my code right now, so it may appear here too
Here is a function. The part I want you to see is the 'eval' sentence.
This works.
It evaluates ${SourceTxt} (which is $1), takes away a part of it and uses it as an array to put data in.
That's alright.
Code:
Now, later, I NEED to count the number of elements in the array(s).
So, I try to do something like....
Which gives me the evaluated name ('#txtFields_email_customers[@]' e.g)
Or
Which gives me nothing....
I was wondering if I was reaching the limits of bash in this kind of capabilities, or if there is a.... bash-like solution. I.e. a good solution
I do not understand bash' syntax regarding the use of ((<arithmetic expression>)). $((<arithmetic expression>)) is tokenised to a single word. OK.
Code:
In isolation
Code:
It may not be used where a word is expected. This generates a syntax error. Why?
Code:
I had a script once that had in it a while true; do and read lines or data from a file similarly to a while read; do. I have a script I'm working on now where I'm trying to "prove the negative" that certain substrings culled from one file do not appear in another file. I'll try to explain what I mean with an example. An item in one list might be
Code:
[URL]
But the other list may only have
Code:
harvey1996nicks:Six stores in north London
harvey1997nicks:Three stores in Bristol
harvey1999nicks:Eight stores in the lower Midlands
The problem is, other items in the first list do match items in the second. The script I'm drawing this from has already pulled those out and written them to one (or several) lists that I've been able to use with other programs (Exiv2 specifically). The furthest I've bothered to go in the direction of "proving the negative" is a slow "if/then/fi" loop that looks like this:
Code:
linecheck=$[linecheck+1]
if [[ "$linecheck" == "$axe" ]] && [[ "$matchX" == "" ]]; then echo -e $file>>nomatches.txt; fi
linecheck is counting the lines of the second file -- the one with the designations or "labels" (the "so many stores in ..." from my example) -- as they are checked against the file names in the first (the "harvey199*nicks.jpg" etc of my example. axe is the number of lines in that first list (culled from a cat |wc -l at the beginning of the script). matchX is the variable the "prove the positive" script used for matches, one list to the other, which then got written line by line to a text file.

I've spent most of the evening browsing the web, trying many things I've found on various forums, but nothing seems to work.
I have a test.txt file containing many lines like the following ones :
...
<insert_random_text>228.00 €<insert_more_random_text>
<insert_random_text>17.50 €<insert_more_random_text>
<insert_random_text>1238.13 €<insert_more_random_text>
...
And I want to extract :
...
228.00
17.50
1238.13
...
There is always one occurrence of € in each line. I want the numeric value that precedes this € occurrence. The random text (before and after) may contain numbers too, so the € may be important to parse, in order to correctly identify the number to return. The last character that precedes the number to extract is always a ">" (coming from an HTML tag).
I'm working with javascript and trying to replace all instances of a Roman character in a string with nothing. How do I assign var reg to all Roman characters? In UTF8, capital letter A is U0041 and at the other end, small z is UFF5A.
So, I'd like to do something like:
var reg = u0041 - UFF5A;
str1 = str.replace(reg, '');
I think you get the idea. I have no idea if that can be done. The idea is to take this string (for example): str = make a door-to-door[house-to-house] visit / ring every doorbell." And take out all the Roman characters and define it as str1. And then take out all the Korean characters (u1100-uFFDC) and define it as str2. In fact, a WAY more useful thing to do would be to replace the instance of this: [u1100-uFFDC]+" "+[u0041-UFF5A] with [u1100-uFFDC]+","+[u0041-UFF5A] so that the output would be a .csv file.
i cant use regular expression in replace function. I want to do this

Ofcourse this is a simple example for my query. Its not working so shall i assume regex dont work with replace function ?
I need to use sed to edit a file that contains just one line. This should be pretty simple, but I've googled and can't seem to figure it out. I need to match everything from a certain string up until the first comma in the line. There are multiple commas in the line and my matching pattern is matching up until the last comma, not the first.
Here is what I'm trying:
As you can see it is matching up until the last comma. Seems like the .* is matching any character including the other commas. The output from this that I am hoping to achieve:
How can I get the regular expression to match from asdf: up until the first comma?
I'm writing a loganalysis application and wanted to grab apache log records between two certain dates. Assume that a date is formated as such: 22/Dec/2009:00:19 (day/month/year:hour:minute) Currently, I'm using a regular expression to replace the month name with its numeric value, remove the separators, so the above date is converted to: 221220090019 making a date comparison trivial.. but.. Running a regex on each record for large files, say, one containing a quarter million records, is extremely costly.. is there any other method not involving regex substitution? here's the function doing the convertion/comparison

I found such simple example of awk
Code:
awk '
BEGIN { a = "1abc 2def"
b = gensub(/(.+) (.+)/, "\2 \1", "g", a)
print b }'
However I don't understand why the regular expresion in parentheses doesn't work how I woud expect. If I delete the .+ so it does the same.
Code:
awk '
BEGIN { a = "1abc 2def"
b = gensub(/() ()/, "\2 \1", "g", a)
print b }'
I wanted to use a regular expression in parantheses like ([/+[]()]) to get the specific letters.
Code:
awk '
BEGIN { a = "1abc 2def"
b = gensub(/([/+[]()])/, "//\1", "g", a)
print b }'
But why the regexp in () isn't working
I remember reading that using sed, you can do this with parentheses: s/abc(something)def/(something)else/g I can't find an explanation of how to do something like this with Awk. Say you have this in an HTML file, where (number) stands for a one or two-digit number:
<sup>(number)</sup>
And you want to change that to this:
<a name="(number)t" href="#(number)b"><sup>(number)</sup></a>
How would this be possible? Would you have to use sed?
I have a very, very large log file (360MB) that I'm trying to thin out. As it turns out the majority of this file has entries that aren't necessary so I'm attempting to build a command that will strip these out. The following command works to display only the data that I do not want:
Code:
cat xml_results.log | grep -B 6 -A 5 "YYY ZZZ"
This displays exactly the data I want to delete from the file by displaying the expression and six lines above it and five lines below it. However I'm at a loss as to how to remove this data from the output and display everything else. I looked into the -v option with grep redirecting the output to a new file:
Code:
cat xml_results.log | grep -B 6 -A 5 -v "YYY ZZZ" > xml_filtered_results.log
However it doesn't work, the new file is the same size as the old one. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better method of doing this? I'm a bit out of my element since the method I'd normally use can't handle files of this size.
Here is a segment from a script (the script is complicated so I'll just post the problem)
Code:
echo "sudo mount -o loop $eFile $eMount" > syntax.txt
sudo mount -o loop $eFile $eMount &> error.log
For debugging, I have the first line that echoes back the command being run (so I can find obvious syntax errors) and the second line runs the command.
The first line returns:
Code:
sudo mount -o loop /home/abigail.dunning/Training/1994-2010 Linux Journal Master Collection.iso /media/iso/1994-2010 Linux Journal Master Collection
If this line is cut and pasted into a bash shell it runs and the mount occurs fine.
However, this is being run in a nautilus script and the output of the same mount command is the syntax for mount?
Code:
# contents of error.log
Usage: mount -V : print version
mount -h : print this help
mount : list mounted filesystems

Part of a perl script I am writing need to change the character at an index to upper case. Now i am new to perl and i am having some trouble getting it to do it. In c++ i would do something like

I have been battling with regular expressions and am a little lost. I want to find all my files that end with .la and have been trying this
Code:
slocate -r .la$
which finds them but also files like mozilla. The escaped full stop seems to be ignored however this works :
Code:
slocate -r \.la$
so why is the double escaping needed ?
how do I get this regular expression to work in an if/else statement? This is just a little script for learning BASH. don't be too harsh.
This script will test if a certain number of files with 1-4 in their filename exist and print their filename. An error message will be printed if not.
#
for i in `ls file[1-9]`
do
if [[ "$i" == *1-4 ]] ; then
echo "This file, $i, ends in a number between 1-4"
else
echo "Error, this file, $i, does not end with a number between 1-4"
fi
done
I get this error. ./file_test.sh: 13: [[: not found

1.when I type "s" followed by "enter" key it should match.
2.if I type something like "chess" followed by "enter" key it shouldn't match. the second case is also being matched by the regular expression I have in my code.
I'm trying to math all class references in a C++ file using grep with regular expression. I'm trying to know if a specific include is usuless or not, so I have to know if there is a refence in cpp. I wrote this RE that searches for a reference from class ABCZ, but unfortunately it isn't working as I espected:
grep -E '^[^(/*)(//)].*[^a-zA-Z]ABCZ[]*[*(<:;,{& ]'
^[^(/*)(//)] don't math comments in the begging of the line ( // or /* )
.* followed by any character

class Test: public ABCZ {
class Test : public ABCZ<T>
