I want to replace specific character in a file after every specific line. example as follows.
O 000000000000000000
A 111111111111111111
C 222222222222222222

I am loading variables for cXtXdXsX disk names into a script, and at present I have only accounted for there being 3 characters from c to t. I need to change it to a variable recognition so that it can count any number of charcters such as c1t , c10t , or c100t.
I can then take that information and use it with the following string to strip off the lead characters so as to make the 3 in $substr either a variable or redirect to multiple occurrences of raw based on the count returned.
sub raw {
$substr = substr ($_, 3);
$raw1 = substr ($substr, 0, -4);
$raw = lc($raw1);
}
how to count from the c to the t inclusive so I get 3, 4, 5, etc ...
i need to overwrite each line of the file starting from a specific position to the end of the line
example:
ATOM 981 N PRO B 159 55.662 7 1 1.47 0.75
i need to write " 1.00 0.00 " starting from 20position
i tried
sed -i 's/^(.{20})*/ 1.00 0.00 ' filename
but it doesnt work :"(
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.

I am bouncing a file across platforms (windows->solaris->mainframe), and the file is starting out with a "special" character (the registered trademark "circle R") in some of the records. This character is not in the EBCDIC character set on the MF, so it is unrecognizable. The MF developer I am working with asked if it is possible to replace the character with a specific hex value (AF) before it gets to the MF.
I was putzing around with sed, tr, etc. on the ksh command line, hoping to find an easy way to get one of them to substitute hex instead of ASCII. I have found that the usual shell utilities recognize the trademark character, so homing in on what to replace is solved. But I cannot get anything to actually substitute in the hex sequence I want. E.g. I was thinking something like...
>cat special_file | sed 's/R/AF/g'
But my version of sed does not seem to have hex "editing" capability.

how to replace values for specific column in first and last lines within same AWK script, without taking reference data in other columns?
I need to search a bunch of files in a specific folder for a specific number and add all the numbers together to a total sum. I use Rsync everyday, everytime I run rsync i get a logfile (rsync output) witch contains the textstring "Total bytes sent: xxxxxx".
The "xxxxx" can vary in lenght. I need to extract the "xxxxxx" from each file and add the numbers together to a total size over a week or a month. Is this possible? And I wish to only use bash. One way of doing stuff at a time my friends .
What I am trying to achive is the editing of /etc/ssh/sshd_config I have the line
Code: AllowUsers usera userb
And I want to be able to append to the end of this line from a bash script.I have muddled together from other sites and got the following:-
Code: sed -e "s/^AllowUsers/� userc/" -i /etc/ssh/sshd_config
But this appears to add userc directly after AllowUsers and not after userb
I'm trying to add text to a file for a specific group of users, I'll need to do examples as I can't think of an easy way of explaining, my file is like this:
Code:
users{
user1
user2
[code]....
At the present my code lists all the available groups, how would I add a user to a specified group? (e.g add "members user3") to the end of group 1 for example. So the code ends up like this
Code:
members user2,user3
I would like to replace 'xxxx' with 'yyyy' which is in a file xyz.csproj not sure of what 'xxxx' is, it can be 3055, 4056, 7089 etc. I know it always appears at line # 5 and at character 50.
<Reference Include="System.Management" />
<Reference Include="System.ServiceProcess" />

I want to append a variable string to the end of a specific line. not like append the same string to each line. like in my file i have 4 columns, i want to add a string in 5th column in some fixed row.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a requirement to print images (two to be precise) from the command line of a given size and without losing too much quality.
So, I may have two images, a.jpg and b.jpg which may be 4x4" and 6x4" respectively (the sizes may vary). I need to be able to print both these on a single sheet of paper (one under the other) at a given size for each - so a may be 2x2" and b may be 3x2" - the aspect ratio will always be maintained (or as near as possible!)
I am currently doing this a very messy way (because I don't know any other way!!) - basically I am converting the picture to a given size using a set density using convert and then concatenating the two using montage.
Here is part of my script:
Code:
Don't worry too much about the case statement at the end - that is just to be able to select to print either A, B or A and B.
The issue with this is that is doesn't work great if the aspect ratio is not maintained perfectly and also, it loses quite a lot of quality on the print.
I have a very old windows app which I wrote years back in VB (o dear! ) which does the same thing and the quality is fine (I am running it through wine). I want it to be command line though because I want to run it as part of other scripts etc.
I'm used to holding the left Alt and entering the ASCII character whenever I'm using an unknown keyboard configuration and want to type a special character. For example, Alt-092 makes a backslash (). That's on Windows. Is there a way to do this in Ubuntu ?
Note : I also want to be able to use this in console mode. That means I don't want a solution involving a software with a GUI.
I have a command that outputs as follows:
# lostjobs
user1 12983 1 0 Feb04 ? 00:00:00 dbr UT:msmenu
user1 18253 1 0 Feb09 ? 00:00:00 dbr UT:msmenu
[code]....
I know I can grab the ones with what I want to kill (which are the ones with question marks) with:
# lostjobs | grep ?
what I need to know is how can I loop through the results of the second one and kill them by id (the second column).
I have a csv file that has around 3 million rows. I want to process this file so that it creates a new file that contains only the rows that have 2 characters or less in the first column column.At the moment i am using SQL Loader but its taking too long so im wondering whether this would be easier if done in Unix?

View 5 Replies View Relatedmy system I want user1 and only user1 to be able to mount and unmount a specific partition, this partition contains backups and is usually mounted read only, needs to be temporarily mounted read/write by user1 while doing the backup.user1 is an unprivileged user. I've read that the user option will let any user mount the file-system (and only that user can then subsequently unmount it) and that the users option allows any user to mount or unmount the file-system.I also found this in mount's man pageQuote:The owner option is similar to the user option, with the restriction that the user must be the owner of the special file. This may be useful e.g. for /dev/fd if a login script makes the console user owner of this device. The group option is similar, with the restriction that the user must be member of the group of the special file.So it looks like I'd need a login script for that user to make the user owner of the device file (/dev/voiceserv/backup in this case)

I'm trying to configure our mail server to block email from a specific sender reaching a specific recipient. In other words, if one of our employees is getting harassed by a 'stalker', how would one go about blocking, at the MTA (Sendmail) level, a specific sender email address from reaching a particular users inbox? We do not want to capture the email - simply block it before it consumes server resources.The Sendmail server (MTA) is a front end to our Exchange server so no user accounts exist on the Linux server. We simply use it as a SPAM and Virus scanner then forward clean email to the Exchange server.
