I'm trying to output two certain fields of a very large text file to 2 very small text files. Then take those files and add all the lines together to come up with a total from each file (two totals).
Here's what I've got:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "0" > /media/in.txt
echo "0" > /media/out.txt
[code]....
Breakdown: Put 0 in a text file to be drawn by respective while loops for math later
Output last 60 integers to a file for total A (new integer every minute)
Output last 60 integers to a file for total B (new integer every minute)
The two while loops are supposed to be adding the lines together. The echo commands at the end are for testing purposes, just to see the output. However, when I run this, I get the output of
Code:
0 0
Which is obviously not what it's supposed to be. Is there a more efficient way to do this or am I missing something in the script that would reset the values to "0"?

I have this massive table file with some data in it and I want to replace some lines that are wrong with the correct ones that are in another table file of the same format. The wrong lines are not all together in a block but randomly distributed so I need to make a loop checking if the line is in the other file and if it is, replace it. I want to try and do it with sed or awk but I don't really know how to....

After installing skype from rpm I wanted to add a skype repo for future updates. As root I did 'touch skype.repo' and tried to open by 'kwrite skype.repo' but get the undermentioned error. As a user I can open the empty file with the command 'kwrite skype repo' but cannot save it as I am informed that I only have read access.
Code:
[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# kwrite skype.repo
kwrite(2391): Session bus not found

I have a script that among other things generates a makefile with an error that causes make to fail. specifically, the string "-Wimplicit-function-dec" should be changed a bit to "-Wimplicit-function-declaration". Is there a way to have bash add the new eight characters in the right place (on line 105)?

I have added the smbd file location to the path of root. I can now execute it from any location. I noticed after reboot of the machine (RHEL 5) that this file location is no longer in the path. How do I make this permanent?

I'm looking for a way to insert the number of lines in a file to the start of the aformentioned file. This should be simple but as I am not used to scripts in Linux, I am finding it tough going. I can find the number of lines in a file easily enough via
filesize=$(awk 'END {print NR}' $1)
but as for inserting this into the first line, i'm failing to do so. I've tried some of the other approaches on these forums but none so far have been able to do so.
I've tried:
sed '1i$filesize' $1
but sed i requires a string, not a variable so no go I've also tried:
mv "$1" "${1}.bak" 2>/dev/null || touch "${1}.bak"
cat $filesize "${1}.bak" >"$1"
but again with no luck as cat seems to need an input stream Just to recap, i want to insert a line at the start of a given file that holds the number of lines the original file has.
ie the file:
a
b
c
d
e
should become:
5
a
b
c

I have two files;
file1;
1/
2/
3/
4/
[code]....
I want to use sed to append the contents of file2 to file1 line-by-line, so that the end result looks like this;
1/a
2/b
3/c
4/d
how do I do this? I've tried sed '$r file2' file1, but that just appends it at the end of the file, rather than line-by-line.

For example, I have a file called "file" like this one:
type=strongsubj len=1 word=absolve pos=verb stemmed=y priorpolarity=positive
type=strongsubj len=1 word=unique pos=adj stemmed=n priorpolarity=neutral
type=strongsubj len=1 word=absolutely pos=adj stemmed=n priorpolarity=neutral
type=weaksubj len=1 word=taking pos=verb stemmed=y priorpolarity=positive
type=weaksubj len=1 word=friend pos=noun stemmed=n priorpolarity=positive
type=weaksubj len=1 word=usually pos=adverb stemmed=n priorpolarity=positive
type=strongsubj len=1 word=purecolor pos=anypos stemmed=n priorpolarity=negative
type=strongsubj len=1 word=accusingly pos=anypos stemmed=n priorpolarity=negative
I want to add the plural for the noun, for example if find this line:
type=weaksubj len=1 word=friend pos=noun stemmed=n priorpolarity=positive
will add one more line :
type=weaksubj len=1 word=friends pos=noun stemmed=n priorpolarity=positive
where we add "s" for the word friend
I did try to do like that:
<code>
cat file | while read LINE ; do
set -- ${line}
if [[ "${4#pos1=}" == "noun" ]];then
#I tried this line but it doesn't work properly:
v3==$(echo $line |sed 's/$3/$s') #I want to find the third word "word=friend" in that line and add "s" after that word
# I don't know what command to add this new line "$v3" to the file ???
done
</code>

Every now and then I have to indent the lines in my script to 4 space characters. I generally do it line by line. Is there an automated command in vi using which I can indent some set of lines to desired number of space characters in one go.

I'm trying to find the correct sed syntax to match from a given pattern to the end of the file and then append that pattern to the end of the file.
I was trying:
But that prints each line right after its original occurrence. I want to match the block and then append it to the end of the file.

Mail is no problem; it is supplied by my network provider. OS is openSUSE 11.2 which I update when advised. Below is a sample from the error console:

I have a bunch of text files, all of them have a .txt extension. They are all located in subfolders of the /MyTextFiles folder (but could be anywhere, no idea what depth). If any line in any of the text files has the word "hello" I want to delete that entire line. I know sed and awk are made for this problem but I can't seem to get the syntax correct.
