Oftentimes, I want to restore a directory from a tar.gz backup file.When I extract the backup tar.gz, is there a way to make it only replace newer files in t directory?Currently, I have only been able to achieve this bydeleting the entire target directory and extracting the entire backup file. This is timeonsuming because the backups are sometimes hundreds of gigabytes.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using XFCE spin Fedora, so my default archiver is Xarchiver. I have downloaded a 2 part .RAR file, and when I used to use them in Windows, I would tell WinRAR to extract the first part, and then it would automatically start extracting part 2 if it was in the same directory. When I try to do the same in Xarchiver it tells me "An error occurred! Please check the 'Store archiver output' option to see it." I don't know what 'store archiver output' is or how to access it. What do I need to do to extract both components and successfully join them?

Is there away to extract all files that are existing in dirs and subdir with "for loop" or is there a script that can do the job automatically.

View 5 Replies View Relatedis that my ar928x atheros wireless connection is severely slow. To fix it I've heard ndiswrap and so I've downloaded the XP driver from HP's support site (a pavilion dv7-1450us Notebook PC) and met a brick wall. The file is sp45222.exe and it contains seemingly no .bin .inf or .sys files that ndiswrap dearly requires. I've tried extracting it on a windows machine with UniExtract. This gives only three files one of which UniExtract can extract into a compilation of folders none of which have the required files. I've also attempted to use cabextract on my Ubuntubox, but not cabs come out. I have unshield, if that's relevant at all. What on Earth am I doing wrong?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to develop a method of reading files generated by other programs. I am trying to find the most versatile approach. I have been trying bash, and have been making good progress with sed, however I was wondering if there was a "standard" approach to this sort of thing. The main features I would like to implement concern reading finding strings based on various forms of context and storing them to variables and/or arrays. Here are the most general tasks:
a) Read the first word(or floating point) that comes after a given string (solved in another thread)
b) Read the nth line after a given string
c) Read all text between two given strings
d) Save the output of task a), task b) or task c) (above) into an array if the "given string(s)" is/are not unique.
e)Read text between two non-unique strings i.e. text between the nth occurrence of string1 and the mth occurrence of string2
As far as I can tell, those five scripts should be able to parse just about any text pattern. I am by no means fluent in these languages. But I could use a starting point. My main concern is speed. I intend to use these scripts in a program that reads and writes hundreds of input and output files--each with a different value of some parameter(s).
The files will most likely be no more than a few dozen lines, but I can think of some applications that could generate a few hundred lines. I have the input file generator down pretty well. Parsing the output is quite a bit trickier. And, of course, the option for parallelization will be very desirable for many practical applications.
I have to copy some log files with a cron job; I'd like to copy only the newer files added because I run the script with a weekly cron. all the log files are named like "10-03-29.CVS" and reside in a dir. When I copy I'd like to copy only the files not already copied with the last cron job.
View 8 Replies View Relatednew to ubuntu and linux, and using Lucid 10.04 LTS ok, i'm trying to get XBMC going, and following a nice step by step instruction on wiki.xbmc.org, but now i'm stuck at this step... In Ubuntu the SVN Repositories are not automatically added. You must add them manually. First, download the SVN Repo Installer from: [URL] Extract it to the ~/.xbmc/plugins/programs directory. If this directory does not exist, run XBMC one time and then exit back to Ubuntu. The directory should now exist.
i ran xbmc once (after the video driver problem was solved, though it messed up my dual monitors, gotta figure that one out yet.) i got the zip file, it's in my downloads. now my newbness really shows... i can't find an 'extract' command for gnome, can't find the .xbmc directory using the file browser, can't figure out how to hunt for folders instead of files, and don't know how to look inside folders i don't have permission to, that is, i don't know if there's a 'sudo' like option for the file browser. i've been searching the forums, but without the correct search terms, i'm wading in an ocean. i really want to give ubuntu an honest try, but i feel like a foreigner. EDIT: btw, up to this point, the forums have been invaluable, you all are great.
I have unison running on both my laptop and desktop, both use Ubuntu 10.04 (AMD64), I have my unison script set up to copy new files, but when it have 2 files already in place I have to manually tell it how to deal with it (either copy laptop->desktop or visa-versa). I would prefer to just run unison and click go, or possibly have an icon on the desktop I can click to automatically run it. how to set it in the script file to copy the newest file over the older file, whether it be laptop -> desktop or desktop -> laptop?
I have it set up so I can do work on my desktop machine, then when I want to leave my desk to work elsewhere, I run unison on the laptop and synchronize my Firefox bookmarks, emails and schoolwork so I can continue from where I left off and when I get back I run unison again to synchronize all my changes back to the desktop.
I found this command that works great finding and replacing a simple string to another in files located in that folder and all sub-folders.
Code: find . -name '*.php' | xargs perl -pi -e 's/OldText/NewText/g'
The problem I have is that I need to replace a more complex string, like this: Old string: /mnt/stor6-wc2-dfw1/627896/982574/ New string: /mnt/stor8-wc2-dfw1/369587/302589/ There I don't know how to do it... since the / is what separates the old from the new strings, and the strings that I want to replace have / in it. Also, I would like to know how to specify under what folder replace the files, for example, I want that it search/replaces all files under /var/www/mysite/htdocs folder.
