Jun 22, 2010i have the following:
Quote:
echo %host%|sed "$s/.$//"
this would remove the Last character of the value assigned to the %host%. for example if my value is: abcd i get abc. but i am not able to assign the output. for example when i do
Quote:
set k=`echo %host%|sed "$s/.$//"`
after doing echo %k i get no output at the command prompt...!! whereas when i just type:
Quote:
echo abcd|sed "$s/.$//"
at the command prompt i get abc. maybe some other ways to Remove the Last character...?

Programming :: Script To Remove Lines In A File With More Than "x" Instances Of Any Character ?
Oct 4, 2010I'm looking for a script (bash, python, perl etc) or even a one liner (sed, awk etc) that can take a set of files and remove any line that has more than "x" instances of any character (case sensitive). I have been doing a lot of searching and can only come up with examples of how to remove blank lines, lines that start with a certain character or lines that contain a certain string. This will be used on a system running a Kubuntu derivative.
As a very poor and basic example, I would like to take files that contain lines like:
Code:
And end up with the files only containing the lines:
Code:
If I tell the script that 2 is the maximun number of times any character can appear in any line.
I know this must be possible, but for the life of me I cannot find even an example that will lead me in the right direction or better yet a piece of code I can use.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Change File Names To Remove Invalid Character
Apr 1, 2009I am trying to copy a large number of files from a Linux server to a Windows file share. Unfortunately, all of the files and folders I have to copy have 10 numbers followed by 2 colons "::" in the name (example: 1234567890::WordDoc.doc) which of course is invalid in windows naming conventions.

Can anyone help me get the position of the first and last non-missing data characters (while allowing missing data characters in the middle of the sequence)? I'm sure it is a simple sed or awk command but I can't figure it out. I think I can produce the output file I want once I have figured those commands out.
My ultimate goal is to write a script that can make composite sequences from two or more non-overlapping sequences (e.g., the two sequences from NEOM). I may also want to merge sequences that partially overlap (e.g., those from TEST) but that would complicate things. Is this a logical first step for such a script or would you do it differently?
