Programming :: ! For Not Matching Bash Regex?
Jan 13, 2011
In a bash-script, only the case if a regular expression does not match is relevant.herefore I used the exclamation mark !. But where to place it?
These two work fine, but are they equivalent?
Code: if ! [[ $abc =~ $pattern ]]; then or
Code: if [[ ! $abc =~ $pattern ]]; then Where is the ! placed more correct?

I'm having a small issue with regex matching in Perl. I'm pretty certain it's a simple fix, but it all looks correct to me...
If I run the following:
Code:
It prints out all the lines containing a 'P', as one would expect. But when the regex is
Code:
I get zero lines printed. It seems to match only single-character patterns.
The file I'm reading is: (It has the same effect whether I leave it with Windows linebreaks or convert them to unix).
Code:

I have written a regular expression (tested in regexpal and regextester alpha something) with which I want to replace something like code...
but it only matches functions which occupy one line only, despite my tests showing multiple line matching in javascript testers online and using the m and s flags (which should make it multi line no?)

the following works and BASH doesn't complain, but VIM highlights the closing square bracket is if it sees a syntax error. Is there a better way to express regex in a case statement or is this an issue with VIM?

I'd like to print only few groups from text matching a regex. How can I do that in the Linux command line?
What other tools for text processing are there in Linux?

I have two table files with x (1st column) ,y (2nd column) coordinates and intensity (3rd column). I need to match these two tables and divide the intensities at the consecutive coordinates on the 3rd column. The problem is the size of the tables are not same and I want to ignore the lines if they are not in one of the other file.
Here is Table 1:
Code:
-7.500-30.00013.006
-7.500-22.50037.952
-7.500-15.00060.962
-7.500-7.50040.922
-7.5000.00014.348

I have been messing with diff and grep for 2 days now without result
I am trying to match a file consisting of words to many separate other wordfiles in a specific directory. one by one.
What i want the script to do is to report how many matching words my main file has with every file in the directory, each in turn
setup:
Each of em are plain text files with 1 word per line
Output should be something like:

I'm using bash scripting to find any file that matches a path governed by the following regular expression:
"(monthly|nightly).[0-9]+/home/(user1|user2)/.mailbox/"
to match files like:
monthly.9/home/user1/.mailbox/l23131564
nightly.15/home/user2/.mailbox/cur/6546213
I've tried:
Code:
myRegex="(monthly|nightly).[0-9]+/home/(user1|user2)/.mailbox/"
find ./ -regextype posix-egrep -regex $myRegex
and it just spins and never gives me an answer, even though the file structure isn't that big.

So those of you that know me will agree that when it comes to awk I don't usually ask a lot of questions ... however this one has me stumped. I am guessing I have missed something obvious but for the life of me (and I have tested at great length) I cannot find it So the scenario is this: The following awk code should identify all versions of libgpg-error within the attached file (see below) and only show one for each version:

I'm fairly new to Perl and regular expressions. I have a large collection of files with their file names in the following general format: string - another string with spaces (2004) [year].ext I would like to know how I could create a regex to separate out:
the first string
another string with spaces
year
extension
If you know of a better way of doing it without regular expressions, I would be happy to hear that way too.

I was wondering if you insert a variable into a regex in Perl, will the contents of the variable be expanded by the regex engine?

I want to match for this string:
Code:
Content-Transfer-Encoding:[:space:]base64
Content-Disposition:[:space:]attachment;[:space:]filename="%variable%"
Both lines are new lines, so they won't be inline. Other than that, they are all constants, I want this regex match to be an if statement rather than returning match string. so if the $content variable contains some string that matches:
Code:
if `sed "//p"` ;

am trying to find a proper regex to match the two numbers in the following log entry.
Code:
15:08:16.142 INF Found 64468
15:08:16.142 ERR [Uniform test code=64469]
Basically the pattern I'm looking for will match the two different numbers spanned across two lines.Thought I need to use multi-line mode as follow but this doesn't match on [URL]...
Code:
/^($[0-9]{5}
[0-9]{5})$/m;

I have a sed match that matches for certain string of a regex expression:
Code:
tname=$(echo "$contents" | sed -n 'some pattern')
How do I match for multiple strings in the $contents and return them as an array? for example
Code:
contents="this is a text, just to match patterns, here is another text to be matched"
the sed func would be able to recognize both "text"s, but only one is outputted?
Possible to put it in an array? so ${bar[0]} gives one and ${bar[1]} gives another

I am trying to check if the 9th character in a file on each line is a v and if so, then print the first word. I've tried a number of variations and am stuck !If it's possible to also check if character position 1 begins with a s in the same awk, that would make it cleaner instead of using egrep.
egrep '^s' file | nawk '{virtual=substr($0,9,1); if ($virtual=="v") {printf "%s", $1}}'
nawk: illegal field $(e)
input record number 1
source line number 1

I am struggling to understand why nawk matches values that are either 1 or 2 digits in length, but not 100 (3 digits).
Am I missing something obvious ? Should I use substr to remove the % ?
I am sure it's something to do with character and string matching behaviour with nawk.
