I need to search a text file for a string of numbers which are different lengths, and always are between number=" and " like:
number="1234567890"
number="22390"
I need to grab those numbers and pipe each one to a line in a file. I've already tried something with awk and that didn't seem to work.
I have a huge binary log file. There are lets say 4 id's that I want to find in a log file. I know that those 4 id's will be present in the log file and I also know in what order they will be present. I want to find 1st id from the log then 2nd id and then third id and so on..
Simple/inefficient solution is: Loop through the id's and then grep in the log file. Problem with this solution is for each id grep will search from the beginning of the file.
Better/efficient solution would be: Sine I know the order in which id's will be present in the log file. Loop through id's, grep 1st id and then move on to grep 2nd id and so on...this way I can grep all id's in one pass. Is this solution possible ?
I have 500000 + values to find in log files and I have to find efficient solution for it.
I want to write some code to search for a specific string in a text file, but without using grep command.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two files :
FileA
prot1
prot5
prot9
prot15
[Code]....
What I need to do is to extract from fileB the fields containing only the strings in fileA.
I thought awk could do the job easily with :
Code:
awk 'BEGIN { RS = "###" } /'$variable'/' fileB > output
where variable would maybe be the output of grep from fileA. So can I store the output of grep in a variable to use it afterwards with awk ?
something like that:
Code:
result=`grep prot. fileA` ; awk 'BEGIN { RS = "###" } /'$result'/' fileB > output
but that doesn't work. I'm always getting the entire fileB.
The output of grep get stored in the variable, I verified that with echo. So there is something that I just don't get... It seems to me that the above line should work.
I would like to grep all values other than encrypted password from /etc/shadow fileFor example,each line consists of 8 fields separated with :/The only thing that I want not to print out is the contents between first : and second : (encrypted password)

I am splitting a file based on the values read from an input file. The below one is the script.
1)How do I add the header which is present in the original file to the new split files created?(For eg. pharmacyf conatins header as table column names. The new files created (ODS.POS.$pharmacyid.$tablename.$CURRENT_DATE.dat) are without the header).
2) Also the script is creating 0 byte files for the pharmacyids which are not available in the intial file? Can this be avoided?
for pharmacyf in *
do
tablename=`echo $pharmacyf |cut -f4 -d'.' `
while read pharmacyid
do
grep -w $pharmacyid $pharmacyf >> $OUT/ODS.POS.$pharmacyid.$tablename.$CURRENT_DATE.dat
done< inputfile
done
I want to match some filename in some text, but the filenames I have no control of, so "[" can "]" can appear in the filenames.so do I always have to use sed to addslashes to these variables before I have to grep them? and what other characters have I missed other than "[", "]", "."?

I have script that I'm working on that updates a username in all the files that are called blah.inc for my framework. since i host a bunch of these web apps i need to do it to all of them. so I need to figure out how to update these files automagically with out me watching it to call vim every time. heres what I have so far
Code:
This finds the files but now i need to figure out how to do s/bob/fred/g on those files.
I am not sure why this does not work..
tshark |grep 'string'
Gives me what I want but
tshark |grep 'string' >/tmp/outputfile
Gives me an empty file.
I would like to grep two numbers out of a text file, and divide them.
Here is the script code...
It feels like grep saves a new line too? or what is happening? i simply can't divide them, as it handles the variables as they are empty (and prints the two numbers although they were not printed
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).
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#+}
I am trying to compare a list of patterns from one file and grep them against another file and print out only the unique patterns. Unfortunately these files are so large that they have yet to run to completion. Here's the command that I used:
Code: grep -L -f file_one.txt file_two.txt > output.output Here's some example data:
Code:
>FQ4HLCS01BMR4N
>FQ4HLCS01BZNV6
>FQ4HLCS01B40PB
>FQ4HLCS01BT43K
>FQ4HLCS01CB736
>FQ4HLCS01BU3UM
>FQ4HLCS01BBIFQ
how to increase efficiency or use another command?
My employer issues pdf files with everyones work schedules. I copy the content and save it as plain text in a file called unformatted (hope to be able to automate this step someday). Im working on a SED script that reduces unformatted to only display what I want to see and saves the result in a file Iïve named formatted. After that I have to manually copy formatted and save it with that days date as a filename e.g. 2011-02-25 or whatever day is scheduled in the pdf, for use on a mobile device (Nokia N900). I noticed that the date occurs on certain lines in the file so I added a line like:
sed -n 's/^Date: (201[1-9])/([0-1][0-9])/([0-3][0-9]).*/1-2-3/p' < unformatted >theDate
That creates a file theDate with the date in it that I wish to use as the filename for this particular instance. So I would like to skip the file formatted all together and have the sed- script write to a new file using the content of the Date as a filename, but how do I make that happen? And of course it would be more elegant if I could skip the intermediate theDate file as well.
I need a shell script which gathers the data from a remote XML file and then displays it according to my needs.. I need this for my job due to the fact that I need to keep track price changes of euro, usd, gold, etc. The XML file I am talking about is located at this page: here. The reason I am posting the URL is that I need to use curl to get this file and it does NOT have newlines after each tag. I thought that that would be a problem. Here is what I need from the script: 1) curl to get the page 2) make use of sed, awk, etc. to display its contents in a more structured and readable manner as shown below:
A: 64.125 (% -0.26)
B: 81.130 (% -0.32)
C: 1.4930 (% 0.00)
D: 1.9590 (% 0.36)
I have been reading the Wikibook on C Programming for quite some time and am up to the variable part. I did learn several new things, like that too many variables hog memory.
What I want to know is how to assign a variable to the keyboard (in the C/C++ family) as such that the user has to type it in.
i need to count the number of files and put the output into a variable. i used wc -l filename but i couldnt find an option to put the output to variable. example if the number o line is 5, i need the output of echo $x is 5.

I am interested in using the grep method in the shell of my CentOS machine to obtain patterns from a file and use them to search through another file and highlight the patterns found. For example:

I have a text file that needs to be updated to be used by some fortran code later. it looks like that:
1,1 !Ms for y-stations, Ns for x-stations
0,0,0, !xsta, ysta, zsta
I need to replace the "0,0,0" with new values for xsta,ysta and zsta;
Code:
int main()
{
int pi;
int i=10;
pid=fork();
[code]....
Q 1. The value of the variable pid returned by the fork() function will be greater than 0 in the parent process and equal to zero in the child process? but during forking, there values are exactly copied so what's went wrong here?
Q 2. "changes to the variable in one process is not reflected in the other process" why it is so? >> Even if we have variable i declared as a pointer or a global it wont make a difference.
Code:
int main()
{
int i, pid;
i=10;
printf("before fork i is %d
[code]....
Q. Through this program it is clear that both process is using the data from the same location, so where's the original value is residing when the child process is in execution.?
I am using Sun 5.9.
I am putting the value "Feb 10" in variable 'c' here.
Code:
-bash-3.00$ c=`date | awk '{print $2 " " $3}'`
-bash-3.00$ echo $c
Feb 10
But when I am grep-ing value of 'c', I am getting this error.
Code:
-bash-3.00$ ls -lrth | grep $c
grep: can't open 10
This is because there is a space between "Feb" and "10".
I want to know that is there any method to grep a particular data from a file without using the "cat --- | grep ' ' " command....I need to use a system call for this functionality.

My problem is, after I open the file and do the first grep for <Updated> (which does work), I am unable to grep again unless I close the file and open it.
