Software :: Finding The Right File With Only A Line And Column Number?
Aug 1, 2011
I tried to come up with a thread title that was specific without being too long or cryptic. Don't think I succeeded. In my PHP error log I keep getting this error over and over again:
Code:
EntityRef: expecting ';' at line 565, column 81
It's very odd to me that it doesn't contain any sort of stack trace or file info. I know which of my virtual hosts and therefore which directory it's coming from, and it's happened now on half a dozen different servers that this site has lived on. So obviously I'm trying to track it down and add the missing ';' to the right file. This directory has dozens of sub-directories and hundreds of files though.
This is the best I've managed to come up with so far:
Code:
find . -type f -iname "*.php" -print -exec awk 'NR==565' {} ;
(I've run it both with and without the -iname filter.)
I get a very large list of files, and some of them display the contents of line 565 after them. I've checked through a number of them there, but haven't found the culprit. Is it possible to limit my "find" command to only files that have at least 565 lines? Is it possible to have it only print matches from line 565 that has at least 81 columns? How would I modify that to print perhaps 5 lines on either side (in case the error reporting is pulling a slightly different line.)
I have a project due for my Intro to C++ class and we are suppose to generate a file listing that will take an input of a C++ source code with .cpp extension and make a copy of it with a .lst extention that will have a line number preceding each and every line.
I have a very large data file, with 3 numbers in each line, ex. 3 4 5 ; 6 7 8.I want to add two numbers (0 and 1) at the end of every line, and a string at the beginning of the line. Does anyone know a efficient way to do so?
At the moment I have a flat file which is being used by a few people. I want a script to remotely change the file, so I can start logging who is doing what.At this point here is one requirement I am trying to develop. We have text blocks who pretty much look like.I hope this is somewhat clear. I try to find $param for the right $workflow and change that. Can you help me to find $$var3 and change that?
a sed command to add a text before line number in text file? I have text file with 500 lines, and i want to add 3 more lines with text after line 300, OR before line 302, isn't no problem.
I want to print the line number with the pattern of the line on a same line using multi-patterns in sed. But i don't know how to do it. For example, I have a file
I have found many information about how to delete/grab a line in a text file including delete line with match a pattern but I did not find info about how to delete a line which match a pattern of a particular column only.
for example mydata.txt: id type x y z 1 6 0.474611 0.227223 0.583947
On windows I really only used Notepad++ as my text editor, it had two features that I loved.What I need to accomplish is what I would do with Notepad++ column editor.I could have like 100 lines, and place the cursor at a column, and goto edit>column editor, and I could insert an incrementing number. (I could also pad the incrementing number with 0s, this was GREAT for making batch files among other things.)So each line at that column had a number higher than the previous line.The other feature that I used sometimes was a search/replace with regex patterns.Does anyone know of an editor that has those features for linux? I am mostly after the column editor insert feature but if you know of one with both features that would rock.
I am using Xephyr to create a windowed session for logging in as another user. It needs its own X display, though. Obviously I can just give it :1.0 and hope for the best, that it would be better to identify the first free display and use that.
anyone know that the ntfs's file sytem struct? is there's a API or something other could let me get this number? Or there is actually no such number in windows like the number of inode in linux?
I would like to make a file with all these data in one column, like
a1 a2 . .
[code]....
Can it be done with awk or some other command? Also, is it possible then do add another column in front of this one with numbers of the lines (for every previous column), like
I want to access a file, and check the length of every line.After, i want to check and replace all lines with length over 10 characters, with a message.Does anyone have a clue on that?
Question: what command can I use swap item1 and item2 around and keep the attributes in place. A space seperates the first and second column. The file has many hundreds of lines in which these need to be swapped
#!/bin/bash ls -lhGg | while read line; do echo "$line"; done | awk ' { print $3" "$6 } '
what i want to do is be able to print column 3 and every column greater then 5. Has to be to the end of the line, since different filenames can have different amounts of words in them and the blank space is the separator. my current code works just fine if the file has no blank space.
I have a text field that is just list of servers and I need to add the word hostname in front of them... It must be brain fart but I can't think of how to do this. Basically I need this:
And I'm trying to count the number of slashes in each line. I figured (with my limited knowledge of bash) that the best thing to use would be sed. So I ran this to print "not /": sed '!s////g' file # and eventually adding " | wc -m" to it. and I got the same result as if I ran cat, no modification at all:
I was trying to redirect the output of two variables to different columns of a .csv file in MS excel like this,
Code: echo "$a $b" > abc.csv But I am getting both $a and $b in the same column, is there anything I can use instead of to move the value of $b to the next column? Or is there a good different approach to do it?
