Ubuntu :: Cannot Delete File With Backslash In Filename

Feb 6, 2011

Ubuntu 10.04 Guest in VirtualBox

I'm trying to delete a file called

Code:
springlobby_config.h

I've tried:

Code:
rm -i *

which gives me:

Code:
rm: cannot remove `springlobby_config\.h': No such file or directory

Tried to rename it:

Code:
mv * abc

which gives me:

Code:
mv: cannot stat `springlobby_config\.h': No such file or directory

I don't think it's a permissions issue because usually the terminal would say permission denied, but perhaps I'm wrong.

Mar 23, 2011

Oct 26, 2010

I just installed Picasa from google and it has corrupted my picture database. The good thing is that it has done it in an organized manner. It appended -1 -2 -3 and so on to the copies file name. They look like (filename.jpg filename-1.jpg filename-2.jpg) the original having no numerical suffix just (filename.jpg)How do i write a command line to remove all of the undesirables without deleting the origionals?

How can I set a pattern that will output a filename equal to the original filename? E.g.

something.mp3 → something.ogg

And why isn't this implemented in SoundConverter?

PS: {Filename} doesn't work.

Programming :: Sed - Save Output To File With Filename From Content Of Another File?

Feb 28, 2011

My employer issues pdf files with everyones work schedules. I copy the content and save it as plain text in a file called unformatted (hope to be able to automate this step someday). Im working on a SED script that reduces unformatted to only display what I want to see and saves the result in a file Iïve named formatted. After that I have to manually copy formatted and save it with that days date as a filename e.g. 2011-02-25 or whatever day is scheduled in the pdf, for use on a mobile device (Nokia N900). I noticed that the date occurs on certain lines in the file so I added a line like:

sed -n 's/^Date: (201[1-9])/([0-1][0-9])/([0-3][0-9]).*/1-2-3/p' < unformatted >theDate
That creates a file theDate with the date in it that I wish to use as the filename for this particular instance. So I would like to skip the file formatted all together and have the sed- script write to a new file using the content of the Date as a filename, but how do I make that happen? And of course it would be more elegant if I could skip the intermediate theDate file as well.

Ubuntu :: Nautilus Doesn't Focus On The File When Keystroke Of Filename

Dec 1, 2010

When you open up a file browser, if there are tons of files in some directory, it will be tedious to locate the desired one mannually. For most of the file browsers, the desired file will be located automatically by obtaining the focus when you type the filename. I don't believe that Nautilus doesn't have this feature.So, there must be something I can configure with. Note that I'm just using the default Nautilus with fresh Ubuntu installation.

General :: Processing Log File Within Certain Dates Based On Filename

Apr 8, 2010

I am working on the script parsing specific message "TEST" from multiple file. The log file name looks like:

Programming :: Check That The Same File Exists Within Two Different Directories Using A Filename As A Variable?

Apr 30, 2010

I am in need of a way to check that the same file exists within two different directories using a filename as a variable. Here is the process which requires it: The script is reaches out (via ftp) and pulls down a file(s) and delete it afterwards. This is halfhazard because in the instance it doesnt pull down the file, yet still deletes it, we are up a creek. I am looking to pull it down to a temp location and then verify that file exists in the location in which it needs to be present to process before deleting it, adding a little extra layer for security. The script itself is finished.If I put a file name in manually it works perfect. I just need a way to pump the filename into the variable.

General :: Filename Beginning With Left Bracket: File Cannot Be Erased

Nov 28, 2010

Kernel 2.6.21.5, Slackware 12.0

I saved a page from Linuxquestions. It was saved under a filename beginning with '[' (left square bracket). And I now can't delete the file. Unfortunately I cannot send you a screenshot because opening a terminal in the GUI makes ls behave differently. I shall try to describe, assuming the file is in dir '.'. Also let '[SOLVED]foo.html' be the file in question:

Code:
$ ls
<the file is listed>
$ ls [*
/bin/ls: cannot access [*: No such file or directory
$

If I want the hdd to get rid of this file, what should I do? Any hint will be welcome.

General :: Backslash Preceding A Shell Command

Mar 21, 2011

Reading a BASH script, I saw a find command preceded with a backslash. It was similar to this:

Code:
`find . -type f -name '*.xml' -print > xmlfilelist`

It's impossible to find documentation about this in man pages or on the internet, since 'backslash' are always evoked along with special characters. I also noticed that even though the command was surrounded with backquotes, the result was not affected to any variable. Maybe the backslash's presence is related with this?

Programming :: Sed Strange Behaviour With Line Including Backslash?

Jul 1, 2010

I have a small script that takes input from one file, and uses this input to do a find/replace (with sed) to make an executable snmp trap.The input file could look something like this :JOHBURG SOUTH AFRICAOSLO NORWAY..etcThe script takes the input from this file, and preserves all words in one line as a variable (so that the variables are "JOHBURG SOUTH AFRICA" and "OSLO NORWAY", instead of JOHBURG, SOUTH, AFRICA, OSLO, NORWAY.This is working ok (in the given example, I get two variables).sed is supposed to take this variable, and use it to substitute "HITME" with the new variable.

#!/bin/bash

Programming :: Sed Bash Command - Not Print Backslash In Perl

Jul 11, 2010

This pretend to be a script for rename a lot of files automatically. So I put the list of files in an array named @lista. But, as you can see, at the end of the command I use a sed filter to print out a backslash for those files that have spaces in their names, so the path for those files could be rightly interpreted.

But there's no way I could print a backslash. It works well when I use the Perl's sed substitution s///, but I need every path in the array to be fixed.

I'd like to add that the bash command works perfectly well alone. I mean outside the Perl script.

This is de command line with the sed filter:

Code:

And this is what it brings:

Ubuntu :: Keyboard Number Keys On The Right Side - Including Backslash - Plus - Minus Stopped Working And Mouse

Mar 23, 2011

1) Keyboard number keys on the right side, including backslash, plus, minus, etc. stopped working. The rest of the keyboard seems okay. It's not just this keyboard, either, because I plugged in my other keyboard and it has the same problem.

2) My mouse seems to have an intermittent problem in which it stops working for a few seconds or a minute. I can move it around the screen but I'm not able to click on anything. Sometimes if I wait long enough, it returns to normal. If I logout using the keyboard commands and log in again, it seems okay, at least until the next occurrence.

I'm running 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx. I installed a kernel update a couple of weeks ago (2.6.32-29) but I've gone back to -28 in the hope that it would solve the problem. It has not. Is there a software package I need to reinstall or some other way to revert keyboard and mouse settings to defaults?
