Programming :: Count The Number Of Slashes In Each Line?
Jan 18, 2010
I have a file with lines that look like this:
Dev/7_Texas2004/4_Caves/page.htm
Dev/7_Texas2004/5_SanMarcos/page.htm
Dev/7_Texas2004/6_Austin/page.htm
And I'm trying to count the number of slashes in each line. I figured (with my limited knowledge of bash) that the best thing to use would be sed. So I ran this to print "not /": sed '!s////g' file # and eventually adding " | wc -m" to it. and I got the same result as if I ran cat, no modification at all:

I need to organise an external HDD such that there is no more than 500 folders on it.
Ubuntu's "Properties" pane shows only the file count, not the folder count.
Is there a simple CLI line that will tell me the number of subdirectories?

I am trying to get the count of number of CD-ROMs attached with my Linux system using a bash shell script. I have decided to use the following method for it:
Code:
debian:~# cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info | grep "drive name:"
drive name: sr0 hdb
So basically I know that there are two CD-ROMs attached to the system. Now there can be three also like this:
Code:
debian:~# cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info | grep "drive name:"
drive name: sr0 sr1 hdb
All I want to do is in my shell script to get the count of the devices in a variable using the above command.

I would like to parse an input file in which there are two columns per each row. We want to see how many lines are duplicated where we define duplicate to be having the same second field and different first field. For instance if the input file looks like the following:
79874 13131
79873 12309
79820 13131

Usually if I have to replace a character in a string I used the sed /s/ command. However, I am having some difficulty in doing the same thing when I have the following string in a variable in my shell script and I need to replace all the forward slashes ("/") to backslashes ("").
For example, this is what I am doing:
Code:
Not sure how to escape the slashes in this case.

Lately I've been needing to delete new untracked files from my versioning system. Being in linux I use: hg status -un|xargs rm And it works nice, but when doing it in windows, hg status lists paths with backslash so that is where stuff goes wrong. So then I try: hg status -un|sed 's/\///g' ...but I get the error: sed: -e expression #1, char 8: unterminated `s' command
Then I try some ascii: `hg status -un|sed 's/o134/o57/g'`...that gets me: sed: -e expression #1, char 14: Trailing backslash And some scripting: hg status -un|sed 's/`echo `/`echo /`/g' ...that gets me: sed: -e expression #1, char 19: unknown option to `s'
I try all the last with any other characters and I get the expected output... so I'm completely lost. I have cygwin, of course, and I want to avoid using a file (that is what I've been doing).

I recently found myself in possession of a large file (a few million lines in length) of short strings and would like to count the number of lines that are unique to the file. I thought this would be an easy process, but while working on the problem, I encountered the following. Can anyone explain this weird result to me?
Code:
alaric@alaric-laptop:~/Documents/Programming$ grep '^string$' file.txt | uniq | wc -l
1

I'm trying to find a script that will return me the largest number of repeating characters. Say, I have the following line in a text file: 12345AAAAA6789AAA
I want it to return 5, because "A" is repeated 5 times in this line (more than 3 at the end).

I am a noob and I am trying to display a count of the number of subdirectories in a directory. I have been able to use find -type d to list directories and subdirs but I want a numerical value of dirs and subdirs. I know ls -l gives a count but when I try ls -l -d all it shows is "." I also have tried a combination with the -R option but nothing seems to be working for me.Please forgive my ignorance but I am working on a script for class and this is the first step.

I'm the POC for all my families Linux computers. Is it possible to get statistics on which programs are accessed, how frequently, for how long and by which user?
When it comes time to upgrade it would be useful so I know which programs to concentrate my testing. I usually just e-mail and ask but every time people forget to send me the programs they actually use.

I have the standard problem of trying to count a large number of files in a directory (>100k)
I have tried: ls ~/user/images/* -l | wc -l and find ~/user/images/* -maxdepth 1 -type f | wc -l
In both cases, I get the argument list too long error message.
I have tried using xargs but I can't seem to get it to work right.
The command
returns a valid answer but it includes all the subdirectories in the file count.

I prefer to delete trailing slahes from pathes. Until now I used sed:
Code: $ myPath=/home/ladygaga///
$ echo "$myPath" | sed 's//*$//'
/home/ladygaga I played around to accomplish the same with on-board means of bash without using sed, but for example this line only deletes one trailing slash:
Code: $ myPath=/home/ladygaga///
$ echo ${myPath%/*}
/home/ladygaga// Is there a way to delete trailing slahes with just on-board means of bash?

After running the following command, I get:
[root@yukiko /]# find / -iname .bashrc
/home/clamav/.bashrc
/home/vpopmail/.bashrc
/etc/skel/.bashrc
/root/.bashrc
But I would like to have a command that prints a specific line by supplying the command with the line number, for example:
[root@yukiko /]# find / -iname .bashrc | getline(2)
/home/vpopmail/.bashrc
Is there such a command on CentOS?
