Software :: Extra Newline At End Of File?
Apr 11, 2009
I've noticed when I create a generic textfile in vim and have a trailing newline at the end of the file, when I open it with kate it has 2 new lines at the end of the file instead! This is on a fedora machine. The same behavior is observed when I copy the file over to my windows machine and open it in notepad++ (which is able to handle both unix and dos newlines) - 2 newlines instead of 1.
Feeling curious, I tried creating a textfile in vim on my ubuntu machine and used gedit to open it, but surprisingly gedit displayed it correctly - only 1 newline.

I have several (vhdl) files containing a pattern with newline characters that I need to replace by another pattern that also contains newline characters.
I start with something like:
Code:
I want to replace it by something like:
Code:
(I need to paste some lines)
As I need to do this (very) often I want to use a shell script.
I tried:

File remains unchanged

How I can automate the pattern replacement?

I'm having a hard time figuring out why the program posted below prints an extra newline every time I type the enter key.This program is using the master pseudo-terminal to send the password and receive the output from the slave(connected to the passwd program).I suspect this has to do with the terminal line discipline(s)(2 considering the master and slave), but I can't really understand why.I have tried turning on/off several terminal special characters but to no avail.
Source code follows(compiled in x86, Slackware-13.0 - linux-2.6.31.5 - gcc 4.3.3):

there are 2 related to 11.3: openSUSE_11.3/ and openSUSE_11.3_KDE_Distro_Factory/ Index of /repositories/KDE:/Extra they are not listed as official kde4 repos here KDE repositories - openSUSE, but they are in the same directory structure on the build service so it would assume they are official (what ever official means) They have rpm's I didn't see in community and playground (at least for 11.3) such as audex and clementine I would guess that they are for the stable and factory versions of KDE4 but then shouldn't there be a 3rd for unstable if this was the case? Or do they refer to the distro, 11.3 stable and 11.3 factory

I have two files containing list of packages using
Code:
dpkg --get-selections > file-name
command.
package-a.txt
[code]......
Now I would like to create a third file which contains only those packages which are present in package-a.txt but NOT in package-b.txt. The file should look like this:
Code:
package2
package4
Note: The world "install" is also to be removed for all packages. Using diff command I could get something like this:
Code:
temp# diff -yb package-a.txt package-b.txt | grep "<"
package2 install <
package4 install <
<
temp#
But not sure how to remove instances of "install" and "<".

I am working with bash scripting and running into a weird issue where the trailing newline characters are being truncated.The file contents are something like:
Code:
# Catting the file shows the trailing
characters
cat /tmp/junk
first line
second line
[Code]...
Since I am working with config files, some of the applications/daemons fail to start if they fail to find trailing newline characters

I'm writing a script to replace some text that exists in about 50 .lex, .y, and .cc source code files, sometimes more than once in a file. Sometimes the text is in a multiline C comment, and other times it's within a multiline C string.
I use sed to grab the start and end of each line and wrap the new text in the old whitespace and/or quotes and Problem is, sed is changing the characters into a newline.
Is there a way to tell sed to not process escape sequences? I tried using several variations of
Code:
To no avail. Or could it be bash?
I would give up on the script and do it by hand, but this is something that I must do from time to time.
Here's the function which replaces the first occurrence found:
Code:
When $post is printed by echo, it shows the - but by the time the file is on disk, it becomes a newline. What should I do to ensure that it stays as the characters ?

I have a tab delimited file. I need to replace the 7th tab with a new line.
I tried the following command (but it does not work):
The above simply spits out the original file.
If I write the next command, it replaces the first tab in each line with a newline. How can I make it replace the 7th tab in each line?

I want to create an alias or function that when used prints something like this on the command line so I can further modify it before pressing enter myself.
Code:

I've been playing around with sed but can't find a way to remove the <br> html tag and replace it with a newline. Sed isn't truly needed awk or other suggestions could be good.

I need to replace part of a line in a file with multiple lines, however need to separate each line with a newline is this possible?
Example, need to remove line 2
And insert line similar to below:
If the multiple lines were part of a text file, would inserting a text file automatically include newline characters?

I can't get x to work with a mouse so I have to use a windows computer to do that from for now. The problem is I remember there being something about windows using a newline AND carriage return and linux just using a newline. I was about to cut and paste code but the lines go on and on instead of breaking off where they did in linux. I was going to write a perl script but don't know how to add a carriage return to the end of each line.

Using xsel I pass a selection into a variable. I then check that the variable includes an embedded newline to be sure that the selection returned by xsel is complete. If the selection content preceding the newline is just a single word, the check fails to detect the newline, thus
Code:
g fnm=`xsel`
g cat <<< "$fnm"

When I am adding removing packages to get more hard drive space, this is not the first time I left too many pages open and it crashes on me. My son would fix it by typing in the terminal sudo something, but I want to know how to do this. The only thing not working is the add/remove packages at the moment. Here is what it said, E:dpkg was interrupted you must manually run 'dpkg--configure -a' to correct the problem E: _cache-open()failed please report. Please, could someone tell me how to get the default back or whatever. When I type in the terminal, it refused my password until I tried several times, plus, it finally says in the terminal No such command. Bash. No such command. I am hoping this question is one you do recognize the answer for.
I tried using Yum to remove the package. Like this:
To remove or uninstall a package:
Code:
yum -y remove ,package name>
Terminal goes: Bash syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

Does anyone know how to set openSUSE up to use additional XDG icons? I downloaded a pack of icons from here that I'd quite like to use, but they're not showing up at the moment. I'm assuming that they're already named with the correct convention and I've put them in the right folder (.icons/TangoExtra/scalable/places - and the theme is being used) but I don't know if they're getting ignored because openSUSE isn't set to check those conventions.

I installed F12 KDE from the live cd and now when I Shutdown or Reboot, it takes 2 minutes and 8 seconds for the machine to power off. Yes, I timed it. Happens everytime like that. Even when booting from both "mainstream" live cd and the KDE spin live cd. When I hit the Shutdown or Reboot, it goes through the daemons/services shutdown the flashes up the Halting System or Please wait while the system reboots messages (respectivley), turns off the LCD and then just... sits with the power light on and hard drive activity light on. I should mention this is on a Toshiba Laptop about a year old. Intel Chipsets. (Satellite Pro S300M-S2142 if anyone is really curious).
The hard drive light stays on for about 1:03 minutes and then it turns off, at 2:08 minutes - the Power light finally turns off and the thing finally shuts down. I've tried adding acpi=off, but that just gets me a kernel panic on startup and acpi=debug all I seem to notice is "Malformed early option 'acpi'" in messages and dmesg. How consistant the power off time is makes me think there's a timeout of sorts going on, but I have no idea on how to track that down.
