Programming :: (BASH) How To Read Multiple Lines From Text File

Mar 11, 2011

For example, I have a text file with data which lists numerical values from two separate individuals

Code:
Person A
100
200
300
400
500
600
700
800
900
1000
1100
1200

Person B
1200
1100
1000
900
800
700
600
500
400
300
200
100

How would I go about reading the values for each Person, then being able to perform mathematical equations for each Person (finding the sum for example)?

Programming :: Add Comma To End Of Lines In Text File?

Aug 21, 2010

I have a plain text file with 360 lines of varying length text. How do I add a comma or other symbol to the end of each line so that I can convert the file to csv format that I can open in a spreadsheet (45 rows, 8 columns). That means each 8 lines of text forms 8 columns, with 45 rows.

Programming :: Copy Lines From Multiple Files To One File Using Sed -w?

Aug 25, 2010

I've been trying to sort this out for several hours and I?m totally lost? I?ve been searching around, but haven?t found the solution to my problem. I have a directory with 100 files. I need to copy 10 lines of each files (let?s say from line 45 to 55) into one unique file. So I guess I could use sed ?w, but I didn?t manage to write the right script. I also tried using a loop to create 100 different files, each one with the 10 lines) to concatenate them later on. But I only got 1 file, not 100.

Programming :: Deleting Multiple Lines Above And Below Expression In File

May 19, 2010

I have a very, very large log file (360MB) that I'm trying to thin out. As it turns out the majority of this file has entries that aren't necessary so I'm attempting to build a command that will strip these out. The following command works to display only the data that I do not want:

Code:
cat xml_results.log | grep -B 6 -A 5 "YYY ZZZ"

This displays exactly the data I want to delete from the file by displaying the expression and six lines above it and five lines below it. However I'm at a loss as to how to remove this data from the output and display everything else. I looked into the -v option with grep redirecting the output to a new file:

Code:
cat xml_results.log | grep -B 6 -A 5 -v "YYY ZZZ" > xml_filtered_results.log

However it doesn't work, the new file is the same size as the old one. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better method of doing this? I'm a bit out of my element since the method I'd normally use can't handle files of this size.

Programming :: Delete Multiple Lines In A File Using Perl?

Apr 15, 2011

I have a file looks like the following:

digraph topology
{
"192.168.3.254" -> "10.1.1.11"[label="1.000", style=solid];
"192.168.3.254" -> "10.1.1.12"[label="1.000", style=solid];

[code]...

Order of these lines are random... So I cannot delete line #19, for example... And you can see that top four lines I want to delete are pairs. So there might be some clever way to detect the lines, if a line has both "1.9" and "1.11", then delete the line... I am new to perl language. The following is the code I have now... I think I just need to write some code inside the while loop checking if I want to delete the line $dotline before I write to a NEW file.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$TOPPATH = "/tmp";
$NAME = "topology";
$FILENAME = "$TOPPATH/$NAME.dot";

[code]....

Programming :: [Perl] Fail To Sort A File With 300,000 Lines By Multiple Columns?

Nov 10, 2009

Each line of the file I am sorting is in the following format:

<url> <month> <day>

For example:

[URL]

I wrote the following to sort:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$in = shift;
chomp($in);

[code]....

The script worked fine for my small testing files, but failed in my input file. The input file is 18MB and containing more than 300,000 lines. The output will contains some lines like that:

url_one 10 1
url_two 10 1
url_three 10 3
url_four 10 1

Is that because my file is too big for perl to handle ?

Programming :: Bash Text To Variable Accessing Individual Text Lines?

May 2, 2010

i am on processing text tasks And i found that if you assign a text to a variable is chomp'ed automatically the newline

Code:

variable=$(cat file.txt)

The problem is i can only access the items/lines using:

Code:

for line in $variable
do
echo $line
# Other commands
done

how do i convert this to an indexed array. More importantly, how do i get access to individual $line[0], ..., $line[n] Another thing, if the file.txt, has lines with spaces it is a mess using the for...in..., but echoing prints line by line...o_0

Programming :: Parse Multiple Variable From Text File With Bash?

Jul 13, 2010

I am trying to think of a logic where my file contains some data I had to read and do some processing. Issue is that file contains data multiple times. For example:

:::::::::::
var1=value1
var2=value2

I have to read first paragraph of variables and do some processing and then move on until the end of file. Variable names are same in whole file but for each paragraph the value is different. I can't think of a logic to attain this task. How can I do it? It should be a simple bash script, but I am not able to work out.

Ubuntu :: Paste Multiple Lines Of Text Into Terminal / Nano?

Jan 24, 2010

I'm using GNOME terminal to SSH into a Debian server and would really like a way to paste multiple lines of text into configuration files (using the nano text editor if possible).

So far whatever I try dumps all the text onto a single line meaning I have to manually go through inserting line feeds which is tedious and can introduce errors.

Is there a way to paste text with line feeds intact? Rather than copying each line individually?

Programming :: Construct A Quick Regex That Will Search For Six Lines Of Text

Apr 25, 2011

I am trying to construct a quick regex that will search for six lines of text without a clear line break between them. It only needs to search, not replace, as I will be using in gEdit (with regex plugin) anyway.

It's for editing subtitle files. The video player I will be using them on can only cope with 3-line subtitles, so I just need to edit any in the srt file that contain four or more. There won't be many so I can do it manually. For example:

26
00:01:47,357 --> 00:01:49,359
a motivated business
professional with
clearly defined goals.

[Code].....

but .* seems to mean "any character, or none", so that doesn't work. My experience of regular expressions is limited, but I do know they are very powerful when used correctly!

Programming :: Unable To Match Across Multiple Lines In Perl

May 11, 2011

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 tried opening one text file and clicking sort ----->remove duplicates. Now Gedit is not responding my processor is maxed out to 100% and I think I am finally ready to delve into some command line code. Can anyone give me idiot proof instructions on how to sort the duplicates out of each one of these 67 text files? How about no duplicates across all 67?
