I need to create a single line of output from multiple and variable lines of input in a Linux bash shell script.
My input file looks like this:
Where there may be any number of umsecondaryphonenumber lines; if there is not a umsecondaryphonenumber line for a telephonenumber, I don't want to write any output.
So, the output file should look like:
The script I have so far is:
My question is - how do print each of the elements of an array in one record - i.e. what do I put in place of howdoiprintarray?

How would I go about reading the values for each Person, then being able to perform mathematical equations for each Person (finding the sum for example)?

As I'm starting to learn bash scripting I'm trying to automatize some tasks I usually perform. I have a notification mail I need to send several times a day. It has this structure:
Quote:
Dear user,
blah blah blah blah
You need to contact the following people:
[code]...
To replace "user", I found this:
Code:
read -p "Please enter username: " username
echo "Dear $username,"
Which probe to be very useful with other simple notifications like this. But I don't know how to manage the email addresses as they are usually more than one and could vary from 1 to 10. They should appear one above the other. I found this: "Here is a little work around. The only thing the user needs to do is hit enter without anything else on a line and it will close out"
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
word=a
until [[ $word = "" ]];do
[code]....
I tried to use it and modify for my needs but I failed, I don't realize yet how can I use it. If possible, I would like to use the until loop like the above example just for learning purposes but any other form will be accepted as well.

Here's a challenge I've been struggling for months with:
I have a bash script that reads URL addresses of our internal server and then executes some test commands on them. Something like this:
Code:
read -p "Enter URL: " url
sh execute-what-ever-to $url
After copy-pasting the URL the user taps the enter key and the script proceeds, but here comes the tricky part: I want this to work without the need to press the enter key after copy-pasting the URL.
"read -n" does not work in this case, as the URLs vary greatly in length. However, the URLs always end to the same string. They could be like "http://url1/END", "http://url2/END" and so on. So this ending string "END" could be theoretically used to recognize that the whole URL has been pasted.

I am currently trying to write a shell script which will read the directory path as input from user and will traverse the Dir tree to find all available audio and video files.

I have been experiencing a problem where the screen loads and after initial first few lines breaks up into multiple repetitions of lines. Reloading helps but has to be repeated when pageing down. 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:

How to see the first/last lines in a zip file (like head/tail commands)? The zip file only contains one file of big size.
Also, is it possible to read the lines from the zipped file one by one in C++ programming?
It's not a good idea to unzip it first due to its big size.

In GUI style editors, you can generally select multiple lines, press tab a few times to move all the lines across (or shift-tab to go back). I have no idea how to do this in VIM.I googled around and couldn't find any straight answer to I came here.

I'm familiar with load balancing.. but Is it possible to actually bond multiple DSL lines together? I hear of ways to bond using MLPPP but that requires support from an ISP. Is there a way to actually bond without support from my ISP, or use say a cable modem and a DSL line together for faster speed / diversity?

I have a txt file with couple of comment lines:
Number of title = !num!
#line1
#line2
#line3
I wrote a script with "sed" to replace !num! in this file, which is very straightforward. However, based on the !num!, I want to remove the number of "#" based on the !num! value. Is there an easy way to do that with "sed"; otherwise, i will have to write a script to loop through the file.

I've seen a few tutorials that have commands and parameters on multiple line, like the one below:
Code:
chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
I can copy and paste this in Putty, but what if I want to manually type it? If I press return, the first line gets processed, so how do I insert a new line?

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 have a character app running on a Linux server with a telnet thin client. This app requires 3 input values that I would like to be filled in from a scale indicator that is connected via serial to the PC running this app. I feel like this is doable but not sure how. The app is running in Progress 10.1B. Currently I can see the 3 values coming from the serial port with hyperterminal but I do not want to have to rekey into the app.

I'm writing a program which now accepts user input:
Code:
echo "Enter a date in the format YYYY MM DD hh mm ss."
read gregyr gregmo gregdy greghr gregmn gregsc This lets the user input a date and time, such as 2011 06 21 15 12 45, and have each number assigned to their corresponding variable. Later in the program, these variables are put into an equation, and then the terminal spits out the answer. Now I have to have the program read all of the lines from a text file, which is in this format, assign the variables.

eed to make a script to append a line to the bottom of multiple files (only certain files, but 100's spread over directories).Doing a find replace inside multiple files is easy, I use the followingfind /base/dir -name "*.txt" -exec perl -pi -w -e 's/FIND/REPLACE/g;' {} ;So I tried doing the followingfind /base/dir -name "*.txt" -exec echo "Append this" >> {} ;However this just appends all the text into a file called "{}". Whereas {} should be replaced with each file that's found.

I've been trying to sort this out for several hours and I?m totally lost? I?ve been searching around, but haven?t found the solution to my problem. I have a directory with 100 files. I need to copy 10 lines of each files (let?s say from line 45 to 55) into one unique file. So I guess I could use sed ?w, but I didn?t manage to write the right script. I also tried using a loop to create 100 different files, each one with the 10 lines) to concatenate them later on. But I only got 1 file, not 100.

I have a very, very large log file (360MB) that I'm trying to thin out. As it turns out the majority of this file has entries that aren't necessary so I'm attempting to build a command that will strip these out. The following command works to display only the data that I do not want:
Code:
cat xml_results.log | grep -B 6 -A 5 "YYY ZZZ"
This displays exactly the data I want to delete from the file by displaying the expression and six lines above it and five lines below it. However I'm at a loss as to how to remove this data from the output and display everything else. I looked into the -v option with grep redirecting the output to a new file:
Code:
cat xml_results.log | grep -B 6 -A 5 -v "YYY ZZZ" > xml_filtered_results.log
However it doesn't work, the new file is the same size as the old one. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better method of doing this? I'm a bit out of my element since the method I'd normally use can't handle files of this size.

I have a file looks like the following:
digraph topology
{
"192.168.3.254" -> "10.1.1.11"[label="1.000", style=solid];
"192.168.3.254" -> "10.1.1.12"[label="1.000", style=solid];
[code]...
Order of these lines are random... So I cannot delete line #19, for example... And you can see that top four lines I want to delete are pairs. So there might be some clever way to detect the lines, if a line has both "1.9" and "1.11", then delete the line... I am new to perl language. The following is the code I have now... I think I just need to write some code inside the while loop checking if I want to delete the line $dotline before I write to a NEW file.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$TOPPATH = "/tmp";
$NAME = "topology";
$FILENAME = "$TOPPATH/$NAME.dot";
[code]....

I'm trying to split a text file into various parts. Everything in between "123" and "break" (including linebreaks) goes into the splitted file.
e.g. using this text file:
This should split into 4 files. However I'm only getting 2 files: one for the line "123break" and one for "123 blah break". The two occurrences that contain linebreaks are being ignored. The .* part of my match should capture linebreaks seeing that I'm using the /s modifier shouldn't it? Even when I use the match /(123 break)/gs it still doesn't capture the first occurrence. I'm using Perl v5.12.3 (from ActiveState) on Windows XP. The text file is also in Windows format.
Code listed below.
The above code generates two files Output_1.txt and Output_2.txt which contain "123break" and "123 blah break" respectively. I want it to generate four files.

1.) Whenever i am starting a new instance of terminal, it is giving messages 'unable to read input images' five times. Actually i had run a shell script that gave this message, but why is it appearing every time, i am opening a new terminal, (that script is already over and it generated the required outputs)? Because of this, when i run 'ls' command, it is showing all the files and directories with the same color, otherwise it used to show them in different colors.
2.) Once my panel had crashed, then i have made a new panel, but after that my instant messenger icon is no more keeps sitting on the system tray as it used to do before, it closes as i close its window otherwise even after closing the window, it used to keep me logged in and the icon use to be there at system tray.
3.) automount for usbdrive not working? Note: all these problems are there only in my own user account. Other user account like root and guest has everything correct.
