Programming :: Substituting Variable Upon Cat Execution?

Mar 30, 2010

I have a file named "test.txt". It contains the following:

Hello $USER1
Your boss is $ADMIN1

Now, I want to do something like this:

export USER1="World"
export ADMIN1="Me"
cat test.txt > test2.txt

And achieve something like this when I view the contents of test2.txt:

Hello World
Your boss is Me

The problem is, it's not that easy to achieve. I don't want to do the "echo Hello $USER1 >> test2.txt" because I'm planning to implement this on a MB-sized text file.

Programming :: Bash - Read Content Of File To Variable And Use This Variable In For Loop ?

Aug 21, 2009

I'm trying to read content of file to variable and use this variable in for loop. The problem is, when I have c++ comment style in file - /*. Spaces in line are also interpreted as separated lines.

For example:

Code:

Changing $files to "$files" eliminate these problems but causes that whole content of variable is treated as one string (one execution of loop).

Programming :: Make A New Variable With The String From The Old Variable Btut Without Any Plus Sign?

Apr 7, 2010

my script has a variable which comes in the form +00.00 +0.00 -00.00 or -0.00 (the numbers can be any in that form) for any that have a + symbol I need to remove the +, but if it has a - symbol it needs to stay.

i need to make a new variable with the string from the old variable btut without any plus sign. I have tried a lot of different ways with no success, each thing I tried either left the + or removed the entire string. I think this should work but doesn't

foo=+12.40
bar=${foo#+}

Debian Programming :: How To Simulate Script Execution

Aug 7, 2015

I'm trying to save the output of the script I wanna run but for some reason I cant manage to do it with "script.sh > Output_4.txt"

The thing is that the script was already run and it extracted some directories so when I try to run it again (to save the log to a Output_4.txt) bash says (see screen-capture) and of course the log's empty!!!!

Programming :: Allocate Memory To A Program Before Execution?

Jan 3, 2011

I went to an interview last week and there was this guy who asked a simple question that i have been trying to solve for a couple of days. I tried google but i just cant get the search keywords right. The result were just useless. Well, the question is : "How can we allocate a limited memory to a process before we start its execution" well, the question is related to an X11 system so may be some flags must be set to limit its memory.

Programming :: Understanding Oracle Execution Plans?

Mar 30, 2010

As part of my job I often have to write queries in Oracle (10g) and I am experienced enough to see where I should be using an index where possible etc. Most of the time I just let the CBO come up with the best plan however sometimes it obviously doesn't!Now, I know in general that full scans of large tables aren't good however I don't fully understand an execution plan - ie, I could not look at a complex piece of code, look at it's plan and say "oh, the reason that is performing badly there is because the SBO has chosen to use nested loops rather than a hash join, so if I hint it then it will run quicker!" - this ultimately is where I'm trying to get to

Software :: Substituting Icons In Libreoffice?

Jul 4, 2011

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 and I don't like the way the libreoffice writer and spreadsheet icons look in the Unity panel. I found some Faenza icons that look nicer, but I only want to change the libreoffice icons, not the whole icon set. I have installed Faenza icons, so they should be accessible. Is there a way I can substitute only those two icons for the ones showing in my panel?

Programming :: Continue Execution Of A Python Program While A Background Task Is Going On?

Aug 28, 2010

I'm trying to figure out how to continue execution of a Python program while a background task is going on.

In bash, it is adding "&" to the end as in:

Code:
#! /bin/bash
find / -iname "*.py" > /tmp/all_pys &
echo "looking for all python scripts and putting them in /tmp/all_pys"
(yes, I know I could just put the echo BEFORE the find but I just use it for example)

Say I do that in python (not necessarily running the shell, but perhaps using scriptutil.ffind or something similar), but want to allow the user to be doing something else while running that search in the background, how would I thread, fork, subprocess (not to be confused with the module and Popen) [or whatever I should call it] that?

General :: Substituting Lines In Files Without Need To Escape?

Jan 17, 2011

Usually when I need to replace some lines in a file, the first tool that comes to mind is sed -i:

sed -i 's|tool:.*|tool: some-tool|'

However, it's inconvenient when there are . characters in the replacement string:

sed -i 's|host:.*|host: 127.0.0.1|' Is there a better tool for this case?

Programming :: Using Variable In A Command?

Apr 14, 2011

i'm trying to execute a shell script, i'm trying to use the values in an array for use in a sed command:

sed -n '/Sales ID: ${array[$i]}/,/Totals:/p'

that command creates empty files. so my guess is that its not recognizing the array as an array but as text?
how would i be able to utilize the array in the command? i got it, didnt think that if i doubled up the single quotes that it would work, but this worked:

sed -n '/Sales ID: '${array[$i]'}/,/Totals:/p'
