Programming :: Insert Line Of Text Prior To Pattern Only Once?

Jun 29, 2010

I have a file like so:

Code:

one
two
three
four

I would like to insert prior to the word "three" all items from this second file with the following contents:

Code:

four
three
two
one

Now my issue is, and I have been using both sed and awk currently, that after the second line of the new file is read there will of course now be 2 copies of the word "three" but I would like to only insert the final 2 words, ie "two" and "one" prior to only the first occurrence of the word "three" so final file will look like:

Code:

one
two
four

[code]....

So here there is now only one of each word from the second file joined to make the new file. For simple code I have tried something like the following:

Code:

while read line
do
awk -v n=$line '!f && /three/{print n;f++}1' file1 > tmp_file
mv tmp_file file1
done < file2

Now this works but seems very clumsy to me. There is obviously a better sed and / or awk out there.

Programming :: Shell Script To Delete Part Text Of A Line If Pattern Matches?

Apr 12, 2010

I am trying to create a shell script, on taking a input file as parameter, which need to do 3 things

1) create a copy of existing file.

2) add a new line to the copied file.

3) strip off all the absolute paths inside the copied file

The first 2 points are straight forward. but i am finding it difficult to acheive the 3rd point. myself not very good with awk and sed. but gave it a shot in vain. For example, the input script consists of below,

PROGRAM=`/usr/bin/basename $0`
HOST=`/usr/bin/uname -n`
echo Start $PROGRAM `/usr/bin/date` |
/usr/bin/tee -a $LOG

The output of the script should look like,

PROGRAM=`basename $0`
HOST=`uname -n`
echo Start $PROGRAM `date` |
tee -a $LOG

Programming :: Sed One-liner: Search Text In File And Replace It - If Not Present Insert It?

Oct 16, 2010

As indicated in the subject, I want to search a text. If the text is present I want to replace it. But if the text is not present, I want to insert it after first line and before last line.

Searched text is:CleanCache "*";

Where * can be anything.

Example: CleanCache "false"; -> CleanCache "true";

If CleanCache "false"; is not present, only insert CleanCache "true"; after first line and before last line.

Programming :: If Statement Pattern Search / End Of Pattern Special Character?

Apr 29, 2010

I have to enhance the behaviour of a backup script written in perl. I don't need to change it, what I need to do is to create a bash script that does some checks like file name and file size, execute the backup script then check if the backup files match the original files.Here's how I try to do it:

- read the files from the original files folder
- store them in an array
- search in the array the files that have a specific file extension
- store the file names that match the search pattern (I know the backup script skips some files so I can hardcode the search pattern)
- run the backup script
- read the files from the backup folder
- store them in an array
- compare the original files name and size stored in an array with those from the backup folder
- send a report email

General :: Insert Character Code Into Text Editor?

Aug 11, 2010

I need a lightweight GUI text editor on my Ubuntu Lucid system which lets me specify a Unicode code point (e.g. U+1234), and inserts that character to a UTF-8 text document. I know that gedit can't do it (not even with the Character Map plugin).

I'm not interested in solutions involving any kind of emacs or vi. I'm also not interested in text editors running in the terminal (such as joe, which has this functionality). I need the absolute simplest, smallest and fastest plain text editor for Linux which lets me type a few letters, insert a few characters by their code, type some more letters, and then save the .txt file as UTF-8-encoded.

Software :: Insert (NOT Append ) Text By Using Redirection In Shell Scripting?

Mar 11, 2010

if you execute :

echo "some textstring" >> logfile.txt

then the string "some textstring " will be APPENDED to logfile.txt Is there a redirect way that in stead of appended, the string will be INSERTED at the top of the logfile.txt file ? If this cannot be done by redirecting, what would be the best way to insert the test-string at the top of the logfile ?

General :: Recognized Pragma - Insert At The Beginning Of A Text Document To Designate It To Be UTF-8 Encoded

Jun 4, 2011

Is there some kind of universally recognized pragma that one can insert at the beginning of a text document to designate it to be UTF-8 encoded (or any other encoding)? I've seen certain editors insert encoding comments, and one or two compilers that have an encoding pragma. But I was wondering if anyone has tried to establish some kind of universal tag format for text documents.

General :: Add (not Replacing) A Pattern Match With A Similar Pattern?

Aug 30, 2009

I'm writing a bash script to search html files, and when I find any occurrence of an img src tag like this:

<img src="123-picture-normal.jpg" alt="some random user entered text" border="0">

I want to add a second line below it that looks like:
<img src="123-picture-thumbnail.jpg" alt="some random user entered text" border="0">

All I need to do is duplicate the line but replace "normal" with "thumbnail"

Each file can have multiple img src tags with different numbered jpgs.

I have a feeling this is a job for sed, but I'm struggling with it. Any ideas?

Programming :: Setting IFS To Ignore Pattern?

The problem I'm having is that the source and target might contain spaces in the path. ie. /home/eRJe/My Documents

I would like the script to ignore " " (backslash-space) as being a delimiter. how could I do this without stopping a normal space from being a delimiter?

I could do this with IFS. But so far I have only found info about setting a delimiter and not to "ignore" one
