General :: Include Special Characters When Sorting Files By Name (Fedora 12 I386)?
Feb 15, 2010I am dragging my files over to a new Fedora 12 installation and I just noticed that special characters are not taken into account when sorting files by name (I want '_js' to come before 'images').Is there a way to make the sorting process behave like Windows, where files starting with a special character are listed first?

Jun 3, 2010I have a bunch of text logfiles in the following format:
ID (17 characters)
Timestamp (14 characters YYYYmmddHHMMSS e.g. "20060210100040" -> 2006/02/10 10:00:40)
Random data (? characters)
end of line
The files are already sorted by timestamp.I need to get 1 log file with all the logs from multiple logs files, sorted by timestamp. Note that the log files are really huge, around 3-4G each (and there are dozens of them) I tried the following command:
sort -s -m -t '|' -k1n,1n +17 -o data_sort.txt *.TXT
Here is how I ended up with this command:
-s : don't bother with tie results
-m : merge all logs files
-t '|' : there is no | in my logs, so the whole line should be field 1

Actually... it fails miserably. The output file data_sort.txt is just the concatenation of all files, not sorted at all.
General :: Sort By Line Size (number Of Characters In A Line)?
Jan 8, 2010I want to sort a number of lines based on their size:
data:
-------
12345678
87654321
1234
[code]....
Should output as:
-----------------
1
2
12
21
[code]....
But i'm gettings this with sort
----------------
1
12
123
1234
[code]....
Can we sort the above "data" text, based on "number of characters" instead of "character order"?
Ubuntu :: Delete All ASCII Characters In File - Leave Chinese Characters Only
Jul 8, 2011What command could I use in terminal to delete all ASCII characters? That is, delete a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and all punctuation? I have a file containing Chinese characters, and I want to remove everything else and leave just the Chinese.
I can use grep to leave only the lines that have Chinese in them, but this still leaves a lot of non-Chinese stuff on those lines. Does anyone know how I could actually remove everything that isn't Chinese?
General :: Does Non-printing Characters Escape Characters Still Needed For PS1 Definition?
Aug 28, 2011While modifying the definition of my PS1, I saw that "[" and "]" markers should be added to help bash to compute the right display lenght. Many exemples on the web do not use them or even mention them.I searched for a solution to add them automatically, like with sed, but I didn't find any example.Are they still needed and is there a recommandation not to use sed to define PS1?

Ubuntu :: Sorting Files Based On Filename?
Nov 2, 2010I'm currently trying to organize a media server so that things will be in some kind of logical order rather than the current setup of dumping everything of a certain content type into a single folder. However, the size and diversity of content within these disorganized folders precludes me doing things manually. Does anyone know of a program or script that could sort the files into folders based on part of a filename

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Tweaking Nautilus' File Sorting Order?
Dec 31, 2010I've recently switched from Windows to Ubuntu and have a question regarding tweaking the character order Nautilus uses for alphabetical sorting. In my music/graphics/etc folder hierarchies, I have used a hyphen at the start as a 'hack' to 'sticky' some folders above the rest for quicker access. This worked fine in Windows, but Nautilus ignores a hyphen in it's sorting calculations. Is there anyway, simple or complex to replicate this behaviour in Nautilus?
View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Logical Volume Sorting Individual Files?
Jun 5, 2011So I just had a quick question on logical volumes and such with ubuntu. I've been looking into setting up a storage array of 4 2tb hard drives for media storage in my house but have ran into a wall with with sort of array i should use, whether it be setting up a full raid system (raid 5 or 10 most likely) or using LVM for stripping. The one thing with LVM however, is that there is no parity or redundancy built into it in case 1 hard drive fails. I was wondering if it was possible to create something similar to that of LVM stripping, but instead the logical volume is sorted into whole individual files, not stripping them across the array. That way, if one drive fails, sure, i lose the contents of the one drive, but the rest of the content isn't lost and I have no loss of space because there is no inherent parity.
View 1 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: SORT Command Versus Unix SORT
May 4, 2010We switched from unix to linux and we have an old report that extracted data from a database, output to an ascii file and then sorted the results in the file based on different arguments. The report now blows up when it runs,and I can only guess it is because the options for sort on linux differ slightly from unix.For example, here is one of the commands issued from within the report app that ran on the old unix box:
if sort-sequence = "descending" then
'sort -t~" -f +3.0f -4.0 +5.0r -6.0 -f '
else
'sort -t~" +3.0f -4.0 +1.0f -2.0 -f'
I will eventually rewrite the report to store the data in a local table, but I can simply adjust the options to suit the requirments of linux. Basically, I need to know if this can be a quick fix for the short term.

Programming :: List Sorting In Python?
May 10, 2011I have a list of list and I'd like to sort the list according to the last value of each row.
Let's say we have the list

Programming :: Sorting A Dictionary File?
Nov 1, 2010I have this dictionary file that has this format:
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE, Real Value
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_2, Real Big Value
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_HECL, Hardware Abstract
SUBSTITUTE_V, Valley Mem
I want to sort this file so the LONGEST Substitute Values are listed at the top ( so SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_HECL would be first in the list). Obviously I want to keep the related values tagging along with them, so the whole first line would be
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_HECL, Hardware Abstract

Ubuntu :: Applications Ignoring Mime Types?
May 24, 2011Files downloaded with Firefox, Chromium, Miro etc. will not open correctly. Clicking to open the file (e.g. jpg or ogg) should result in the file opening with eog or audacious. Results - from Nautilus this works correctly, however from other applications the result is a Nautilus window. Placing a file 'test.torrent' on the desktop and using terminal to do
Code:
gnome-open test.torrent
or
Code:
xdg-open test.torrent
results in the same behaviour. However, simply clicking the file in Nautilus opens it in Deluge (correct behaviour).
Ubuntu :: GTK Apps Ignoring Chosen GTK Theme?
Nov 28, 2009Since this morning, in a normal Gnome session, all of my GTK apps, menus and icons (except, oddly for the Gnome panel) are using the same drab and boring style that they use when they're running as root. Which they're not.No one else uses this computer, and I've made no changes to any GTK-based or affecting settings, except to try to change the GTK controls, with no effect at all. So I cannot understand why this is happening.

General :: Sorting In Aggregate Rather Than Tree Fashion With 'ls -Rt'?

View 3 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: (PHP / XML) Sorting Through Multi Dimensional Array
Sep 17, 2010I am parsing through XML documents with a PHP script and creating an array because, as far as I know, I can manipulate arrays better than the features DOM gives me. That part is not as important, though. The array it produces though is multi-dimensional, but somewhat inconsistent. If I have the following XML:
PHP Code:
<domains> <domain>
<title>google.com</title> <bookmarks>
<bookmark>maps.google.com</bookmark>
<bookmark>news.google.com</bookmark>
<bookmark>mail.google.com</bookmark>
</bookmarks> </domain> <domain>
<title>bankaccount.com</title>
<bookmarks> <bookmark>login.bankaccount.com</bookmark>
</bookmarks> </domain> </domains>
To call the first bookmark from the first domain, it would be:
PHP Code:
$array['domains']['domain'][0]['bookmarks']['bookmark'][0]
To call the first bookmark from the second domain, it would be:
PHP Code:
$array['domains']['domain'][1]['bookmarks']['bookmark']
The problem is, I want to simply call bookmarks through a simply 'foreach()' or 'for()' function and the lack of consistency might be a problem, but the fact that some levels have a '0' array key and others do not is causing a problem.
