View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some text based reports in which I would like to strip the "Current Date" from and replace with equivalent number of empty spaces, for every occurrence.For example, here is what I need to strip:
Date: 11/09/09
If I manually run the following SED command, it works great, however I cannot seem to find a way to use the actual "date" command within SED, to get the desired results.
WORKING: sed -i -e 's/Date: 11/09/09/ /' myfile
I've been messing around with various attempts to do this using the "date" command within SED, but I just can seem to get it right. I've also attempted defining variables which call separate "date" commands for day, month, year and inject them via standard variable calling, echoing variable, expanding variable with brackets, etc... Here are a few of the SED command attempts I've tried:
Quote:
sed -i -e 'sate: `date +%D`: :' myfile
sed -i -e "s/Date: `date +%d`/`date +%m`/`date +%y`/ /" myfile
sed -i -e 's/Date: `date +%d`/`date +%m`/`date +%y`/ /' myfile
sed -i -e 's/Date: $(date +%D) / /' myfile
I need to replace it with the equivalent number of spaces, as I'm going to be overlaying a PCL Logo here and need to keep the structure of the rest of the file. Cannot have the remaining portion of the line shifting left.
Why is the output of the following commands different?
root@vmi2115:/var# hwclock

root@vmi2495:/var# date

Code:

This looks good, the files expected to be seen are output: find /usr ( -newer /tmp/empty_file -a ! -newer /tmp/empty_file1 ) -print
But this shows me files that should not be output and likewise when I replace ls with tar it is tarring a whole bunch of stuff I do not want: find /usr ( -newer /tmp/empty_file -a ! -newer /tmp/empty_file1 ) -exec ls -l {} ;
In the end I would like to replace the "ls" with "tar cvvfp some.tar {} ;", but can't figure out what is going wrong here.

I often record music from the webradio with Streamtuner.How can I rename the mp3 files recorded in a way that numbers are added to the beginning of the filename representing the order in which the titles were played on the webradio station?I am looking for an automated solution like a renaming tool since there are usually hundreds of files in a directory. I used autorename / ARen for windows back in the day when I was still on XP. What I could do with the tool was:a) Sort the files by date of creationb) add an increasing number at the beginning of the filename based on the position in the sorted list.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know find can do what I am looking for, but I am wondering if there is an alternative way to find files on the filesystem either created before/after a certain point, or at a certain time.
Typically I rely on updatedb & locate for most of my file searching needs. Issues with those tools, though, are that it only has directory and file names, and it only creates a database of local directories, not anything mounted via CIFS|NFS or via -o loop (eg, .iso images).
So if I need to find files created after yesterday across the entire system (local and remote filesystems), I am currently needing to use find.
What other tools, if any, would accomplish this in a similar fashion?
I have tried ls and grep, but that requires (in my attempts so far) multiple searches:
ls -lR | grep Aug | grep 10
ls -lR | grep Aug | grep 11
I clone my entire notebook hdd once a month to a USB drive with an identical disk once a month using dd. I would like to find a way to automatically or manually do incremental backups at shorter intervals.
The first problem is that my incremental backup drive is not the same as my full backup drive (which is my clone). Is there some way to backup or copy all files on a document partition modified after a certain date?
The second problem is that my document partition is NTFS-3G. I guess this could be done pretty easily using "dump" if I stored my docs on ext. [I don't because I want to make sure that my docs are accessible from any machine (say in an Internet cafe) should my MacBook die and I need to rip out the hard drive and run to do my homework on another system; that is why I keep my docs on my Vista partition].
the moment the file name goes as backup-"$(date +%d-%b-%y)" so something like backup-13-Feb-11.I have already setup in my script to make sure the backup was successful and is not corrupt what I need to do next if for exampleif I backup for 21st feburarybackup-21-Feb-11if it finds anything older than five days for examplebackup-13-Feb-11 it will delete this. I want the old delete part to work on the filename not a system time stamp
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have some basic experiencing creating simple scripts/making directories/changing permissions/etc. but I'm stumped on this one.
I have two linux boxes. I have a script set up on box 'A' to SCP into box 'B', grab a copy of a database backup and store it on box 'A'. It looks like this:
scp root@X.X.X.X:/blah/blah/blah/dump.23.gz /home/blah/DB_Backups/
I have generated a public key on box 'A' and placed it into the authorized_keys file on box 'B', so a password is not required and the file copies over successfully when the script is run. On to my problem...
I need to know what date the 'dump.23.gz' file was originally created when I'm viewing it after it's been copied to box 'A'. If I ls -l on box 'A' it only shows me the date it was created on box 'A' when it was copied.
What would I need to add to my script to append the backup's original creation date on box 'B' to the filename so that when it gets copied to box 'A' I know when the backup was created on box 'B'. I'm sure this is probably confusing. I've done lots of searching and can only find information on how to append the current date and time to a file name. I need to append it's original creation timestamp to the filename when it copies over.
I am trying to find a command which will copy all the files in the folder with extension ".log" which is created one day before the current date. By going through other threads in this forum I found the half solution to this problem
find /mnt/hd -mtime -1 -exec scp {} /mnt/usb ;
This command copying the all the files created one day before(not only *.log) to the /mnt/usb folder. what is the modification required to above command.
I currently have a command to backup a directory it will zip the directoryand place it where i have told it too, Now what i am after is a command i can run before my code, that will delete and tar.gz files before todays dateso i my ideal world it would be something like this, delete <'date +%m_%d_%y'.tar so this will delete all the files in this folder before todays date,
