I have a set of files containing data that I need to re-arrange into one single property list.
The files that I have look like this:
Code:
# cat uk
<string>10</string>
<string>11</string>
...
<string>29</string>
[Code]....
So the lines in the files match up but I haven't found a way of reading several files line by line.
I have a code over there. It reads a line from file and converts contents of it to double.
Code:
/*
* fileRead.c
[code]...
I've never programed shell scripting.
Code goes like so:
I simply want to read a file "data.txt" line by line Then char by char and add them into a result var. The file is supossed to always contain numeric values
I currently have 3 files with floating point data that I wish to have in a single file with the format:
Code:
F1 F1 F3 Output
a1 b1 c1 a1 b1 c1
a2 b2 c2 a2 b2 c2
a3 b3 c3 a3 b3 c3
a4 b4 c4 a4 b4 c4
bash 3.1.17(2) I'm trying do write a shell script which must operate on each line of an ASCII text file. So, all the code must be inside a loop, and inside the loop, the first thing should be to read the next line from the file. I have the bash read command. But it reads from stdin. Any way to make read from a file?

It occurred to me that if one script generated a list of files in directory foo, and the same or another script sorted that list by that four-letter tag,then that list could be used(instead of a for/do/done loop on the real files in the folder) by the command-file-matching script to "vomit out" which annotator file would go with file nastynewfile.jpg, f'r'instance. The script I had been using for this task looks like this:
Code:
while read 'line';
do
sp=$(echo $line)
vc=$(echo $sp | cut -d"," -f1)
cv=$(echo $sp | cut -d"," -f2)

Where I seem to be stuck is with how to sort the lines in templist, which may be any number of different lengths, from back to front. sort -k looked promising, except it seems only to work the other way round. I thought of invoking a
Code:
q=$(expr length $line); echo $q
n=$[q-8]; echo $n
kind of thing, but that presented the problems of how to sort by those, how to tell sort where to find them (grep?) and how to "stitch them back in" to the original list, which is what I want to sort in the first place.
I have a wrapper script called MAIN.sh that runs several other script. It looks like this:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
script1.sh

Here the description of the issue I am having.I am writing a bash test script which reads lines from a file, builds ISO messages, sends them to a server, reads the response with response code and reports the result of the test to a file or on the screen.The message that I need to send is 94 characters long.Here's the portion of a code that I initially wrote:
~ Open socket.
exec 3<>/dev/tcp/172.26.0.25/9991
#~ Send msg.

I have two files, file1.traj and file2.traj. Both these files contain identical data and the data are arranged in same format in them. The first line of both files is a comment.
At line 7843 of both files there is a cartesian coordinate X, Y and Z ( three digits ). And at line 15685 there is another three digits. The number of lines in between two cartesian coordinates are 7841. And there are few hundreds of thousands of lines in a file.
What I need to do is copy the X Y Z coordinate (three digits) from file1.traj at line 7843 and paste into file2.traj at the same line number as in file1.traj. The next line will be 15685 from file1.traj and replace at line 15685 at file2.traj. And I dont want other lines (data) in file2.traj get altered. This sequence shall be going on until the end of the file. Means copy and substitude the selected lines from file1.traj into file2.traj.
I tried to use paste command but I cant do for specified line alone.
Here i showed the data format in the file. I used the line number for clarity purpose.
Code:
I want to access a file, and check the length of every line.After, i want to check and replace all lines with length over 10 characters, with a message.Does anyone have a clue on that?

Here file1.txt has

Note: file2.txt consist of only a single string where as file2.txt has multiple lines. Actually im comparing two files with md5sum values.
Here is the code but it compares only first line of files..but it should compare the whole file1..and sorry iam a beginner in C can any1 sujest some modification to this code so that..it can compare file2 with entire file1

I would like to know how do I print the line # in a script. My requirement is, I have a script which is about ~5000 lines long. If there are any errors happen I just exit. And I would like to add the line # of the script where the error happened.

I'm writing a mass snmp toner check which polls any toners available to be snmp polled, however when using a loop statement I get the results on different lines; which sounds good, however the tool I use to check with (nagios) ignores the new lines.
Is there any way I can get the output on one line? Also, I need to raise a fault if any of the toners are below a specific level (with nagios you raise faults with the exit code) - any way I can do this without exiting the loop. Code below with bits and bobs commented out.
Code:
check_ink_levels ()
{
for ID in $INKS

I would like to delete a single line from a file that contains many lines passing through the same values as the two parameters. Again, I would like to delete a single line and not all those that contain parameters. How can I make bash?

View 2 Replies View RelatedBelow is the part of my bash script which uses awk to to fetch a line from a file. Choice is set by a case, and i know it is receiving a proper number because of the echo statement. The problem is with the syntax of the awk command it says the error is with one of the ', but when I run the command at the command line and replace "$choice" with a number it works properly. So I am not sure what is going on.
echo "announcing choice $choice"
command="awk 'NR = "$choice"' beerpong.txt | say"

I need a command to search a string in a file and then to convert the next string in the same line from hexadecimal to binary. I was able to put everything in capitals. The original file can be as such:
E 2
C 1 794
T ffff
E 2
C 1 787
It is not always FFFF! I am trying to do this in a file at once, not reading line by line (using while).
Bash 3.1.7
Suppose this bash script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ls foo
I would like the output to be
Code:
ls foo
foo
That is, the command is first echoed then executed. Is it possible to do this? Or is the only way to debug the script?
I've got a bash script I'm using to download a text file list of links via axel. What I'd like to do is automate the movement of completed links in the for loop when axel has successfully completed the download. This is what I've got. I can figure that I can just echo append the line to a new file, but what is the easiest way to delete the line with the link I just downloaded?
Code:
#!/bin/bash
for i in $( cat $1); do
axel --alternate --num-connections=6 $i
export RC=$?
[code]....
Code: cmd='date | wc'
$cmd If this script is executed, an error is generated. The reason written was that "The execution fails because the pipe is not expanded and is passed to date as an argument".What is meant by expansion of pipe. When we execute date | wc on the command line, it goes fine.then | is not treated as an argument. Why?
I have a project due for my Intro to C++ class and we are suppose to generate a file listing that will take an input of a C++ source code with .cpp extension and make a copy of it with a .lst extention that will have a line number preceding each and every line.

I wish to add information to one of my files based on matching IDs,
Here is an example
(the id is the 3 colunm)
(the ID is the 2 colunm)
And the output i wish to be
OUTPUT:
So as you can see the ones that do not match are still present, and the ones that do match just have the extra information from file2.txt added to them.
I thought about using join but that only seems to join the ones that match displays thoes only. i would like all the information in the output file.
At the moment I have a flat file which is being used by a few people. I want a script to remotely change the file, so I can start logging who is doing what.At this point here is one requirement I am trying to develop. We have text blocks who pretty much look like.I hope this is somewhat clear. I try to find $param for the right $workflow and change that. Can you help me to find $$var3 and change that?
