I want to find out into some directory, all the files which names are composed of : A specific word README, a litteral "." and any string
file name sample like: "README.string"
One of my application generates a text file with an XML output in it. I need to read that log files and if the output does not match to a string in couple of tags it should create a log file with the file name and the the tag name.
The two tags where the string should match is:
Identity format tag should always be JPEG , well- formed and valid status tags should be true.
sample output file:
What is the best way to merge lines, in sed, awk or perl, that occur between certain strings? I'm new to sed scripting and I have been working on this for some time now. I have a large file (sample below) that I need to edit.
What I need looks something like this.
I'm working with a very large file so simply merging all the lines then adding a new line character before ">contig" and after "translated" won't work, at least not with sed.
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

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the following query:
Code:
$sql="SELECT table1.datetime, table1.user_id, table2.ip, FROM table1,table2 WHERE id='$id' AND (table1.id = table2.id AND table1.datetime = table2.datetime)";
In table2 the datetime fields are about 1 to 2 seconds off due to the source of the data, which I cannot change.
Is it possible via a query match table1.datetime & table2.datetime by HH:MM (ie. to the minute instead of to the second)?
I have been fighting with a sed statement trying to get it to remove everything in a string until the last match and have been failing badly. how to get this to work..
sed --> enterprises.9.9.171.1.5.2.1.1.5
returns 5
I want sed to strip everything out until the last period. The final digit can and will change. Some parts before the final period can change as well, since enterprises will sometimes also be represented as more numbers and periods.
I'm trying to write a script where I want to check if any of the parameters passed to a bash script match a string. The way I have it setup right now is if [ "$3" != "-disCopperBld" -a "$4" != "-disCopperBld" -a "$5" != "-disCopperBld" -a "$6" != "-disCopperBld"]but there might be a large number of parameters, so I was wondering if there is a better way to do this?EDIT:I tried this chunk of code out, and called the script with the option, -disableVenusBld, but it still prints out "Starting build". Am I doing something wrong?
while [ $# -ne 0 ]

I've been trying to understand pthread in C a little better. So I made a simple program that takes in a string from the command line and creates a thread to print the string. I've looked online and copied the basic concepts but there are something things I'm confused about. The programs works just fine, but I have questions. Here's what I have so far.
[Code]....
One thing I'd like to know is why the 3rd argument in the pthread_create function which is my SendMessage function needs to be typecasted to a void pointer and then send the address of the function. Also as for the 4th argument, I would see typecasting to void pointer in some of the pthread examples I saw online, but in my case I'm passing a char pointer, would this be correct? In which case would I ever want to pass a void pointer?
Do I need a pthread_exit(NULL) in my main and in the SendMessage function? If so, why? I added the sleep() function so that I could let the pthread_exit function in my SendMessage function execute first. I simply saw that the online examples on pthread had pthread_exit() in both locations.
I have a set of lines as ahown below:
Leon went to school
Leon came back from school..
Leon had dinner...
I have to replace the line containing "dinner" by a single string LUNCH...
I need to creates string suffixes out of a Reference string. for eg. suffixes of abcdefg will be
1)bcdefg
2)cdefg
3)defg
and so on...
create an array of pointers to point to the first few characters and then use that pointer to print the rest of the string.But when i print using the pointer i get GARBAGE values! shudn't std::cout<<ptr[w] print the string following the char it is pointing to? why do i get garbage values?
So if I'm given a location of a file like:
How can I just take the type of the file at the end? I know I can use strrchr() for a period to get the pointer to the period just before file type. Is there a build in string function that will just take the rest of the string from a certain point on forward in the string? I know it wouldn't be much work to make it myself, but I figured I would find out if it already existed before doing it.

What I want to do is take input of ip4 as a string, convert it to an integer to add 1 to it, then reconvert it back to a string. Its not working.
My full code is:

I've been given a custom-made string class which handles string, wstring and bstr. It has a number of methods and assignment operators to convert to and from different types. The app I work on compiles happily in VS6 and VS2008, but when trying to compile in Redhat (version 4.1.1 in Redhat 5.0)

I have the following two type of strings1: A/D2: A/C/DI am trying to write a subroutine to check whether all of the letters in string 1 appears in string 2. If yes, return true. If not, return false. In the above example, all the letters (A and D) in string 1 are also present in string 2, so I return true.

I need to edit the sudo file on lots of machines. I figure the easiest way is to run a for loop to ssh to each box, sed the sudoers file to a new file & copy/move back over the top of the original (and of course, change permissions accordingly)
The problem is, I'm not sure how to add a line after a match with sed.
So if my file looks like:
Code:
I'd like it to add the new sudoer after "other" so the file looks like:

Do I have the convert the int to a string using stringstream then convert the string to a char? or is there a more direct way?Also is there a way to tell the length of a int?
View 5 Replies View Relatedi have an sql table with 2 columns i run a script that randomly selects a word from the table in column 1.
the word is displayed on the screen and I guess what it means i concatenate the randomly selected word and the answer the script looks for a match in mysql if it finds a match it says "Good job!" if there is no match it will say "not correct". However when i get it right it says not correct even though when i echo the variables they look exactly the same. the script below:
#!/bin/bash

I'm trying to find the correct sed syntax to match from a given pattern to the end of the file and then append that pattern to the end of the file.
I was trying:
But that prints each line right after its original occurrence. I want to match the block and then append it to the end of the file.
I have a file, and I have to display all the lines from the beginning of the file till a matching string is found.
I know grep with "-a", "-b" as option does exist, but it needs the number of lines to be printed in advance. eg grep -b 10 "search_string" file so it will print 10 lines before a match is found.

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?
