I am trying to match the rss files with regex:
If I have a file here:
Code:
I want to match watever that is within the <item></item> tags and save it in the $content variable. however, the <item> tags can spread over multiple lines:
Code:
Using a list of names (over 4000 of them) painstakingly gleaned from the source file years ago for a database file, I want to match the names against the source file so that they can be updated with the tags <forename></forename> in the original source file.
I placed the list of names in @forenames (only posted a few of them here).
Perl script is:
I am able to get the name bracketed by the tags to appear on the console screen but don't know how to apply the output to the source file. Perhaps I need to do a match on the words then some kind of edit to surround the matching words with the xml tags? I'm a rank novice doing this as a labour of love for a friend.
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:
I want to strip the process name from the hosts - i did it with the code below.
I have two questions - is there a more compact way to strip off the process names? usalso i want to get rid of the errors after extracting the hostname. It is complaing about $arry[1]. using my $arry[1] is not allowed. Assigning the slice to a value, as is 'my $sliced_arry = $arry[1]; print $sliced_arry , does not work either.
Code:
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at newcomm_stats.pl3 line 7, <NEWCOMM> line 16 here i get what i want - just the host name, but still get those nasty errors. assigning a value to $1 does not work, and localizing $1 with 'my' is not allowed.

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'm trying to split a text file into various parts. Everything in between "123" and "break" (including linebreaks) goes into the splitted file.
e.g. using this text file:
This should split into 4 files. However I'm only getting 2 files: one for the line "123break" and one for "123 blah break". The two occurrences that contain linebreaks are being ignored. The .* part of my match should capture linebreaks seeing that I'm using the /s modifier shouldn't it? Even when I use the match /(123 break)/gs it still doesn't capture the first occurrence. I'm using Perl v5.12.3 (from ActiveState) on Windows XP. The text file is also in Windows format.
Code listed below.
The above code generates two files Output_1.txt and Output_2.txt which contain "123break" and "123 blah break" respectively. I want it to generate four files.
I am trying to make a random sentence generator in perl. So far I can loop it x times to make a fixed quantity of words, but I don't want to do that. Or I can let it go on until I hit ctrl-C :/
I want to have it so that when it reaches a word with a sentence terminating punctuation mark it stops.
My attempt to do that was with:
This is doing the woooosh text until ctrl-C thing...
Now however I am not sure how I can cut off everything after the punctuation mark (when it exists).
Was wondering if any perl guru's could help me with a quick log file adjustment. I have a text file that looks like so (tabs and newlines are revealed so you can see what separates the data):
There are maybe 100 lines of text in this file at any given time. I need to delete all duplicate lines only looking at the first bit of text prior to the first tab. It doesn't matter which one gets deleted as long as there are no two lines that begin with that same text at the beginning before the first tab. So in this example, either the fist line "1234" or the last line "1234" would need to be deleted. I already have code in my script that opens the files - I just need the code to read the text into an array and the part that would find matches based on the above criteria, and make the deletions.
If it would be easier, I can even do a system call and use SED (v4.1.5) and/or AWK (3.1.5) instead.
I 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 a lot of avis with annoying metadata that show in vlc. Since I cannot figure out how to configure vlc in a way that it won't show the tags, ffmpeg should strip the tags. This is supposed to do the trick:

I need to search through HTML files to count the number of <li> tags nested within the first <ul> tag:

<li>text 1</li>
<li>text 2</li>

I am writing a script that is used to submit a package to testflight from my build system. In order to make the presentation as clear as possible I would like to include some basic HTML in the note section, however, using a < or > causes an error in curl. I have tried different variations of quoting and escaping but have not yet been able to find the solution.
Code:
VERSION_HEADER='<strong>Version: </strong>'
VERSION=`cat $VERSION_NUMBER_FILE`
NOTES+=( "$VERSION_HEADER$VERSION
[Code]...
If I use VERSION_HEADER="'<strong>Version: </strong>'" then the single quotes are submitted.
If I use < or > then those are submitted but the receiving api does not decode them correctly.
Can anyone suggest a way to submit exactly: <strong>Version: </strong>
I need some plugin for Gedit (or maybe other HTML-editor) which will make tags of words, like: I type "div", hit some hotkeys or anything else with keyboard and get "<div></div>". The same with all the words I type in. Do you guys know which piece of software can do such things?

I thought that html tags would just work fine without much issue. I have tried same with asp and it worked.

How awk and sed can be used to preg match strings? how would I go about matching a string like:
Code:
I want to make a program that maintains a list of tags that can be attached to a set of files. Store the tags in the files. The main problem is that there is no way to get a list of all the tags without reading each and every file. And also what if you have an unused tag? Have a file that contains tag "keys" and file list "values". This seems like it would be fast and effective, but what if one of the files gets renamed?

i 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:

var=$(mysql translator -u root --password=*-N<<EOF
SELECT word FROM tagalog ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1

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?
