Ubuntu :: MP3 Metadata With Regular Expressions?
Mar 29, 2010how a way that I can edit the metadata tags on some MP3s using regex?
I've got almost 100 MP3, all named "01 - <song title>," "02 - <song title>," etc., and I, understandably, don't want to edit them all by hand.
Running "s/d{2} - //g" would be so much easier.
General :: Using Wc And Grep With Regular Expressions?
Apr 16, 2010I'm writing a program that works with text files, and I'm trying to create some filters with grep. I have various questions here, so I'll number them for clarity.
1) First of all, I'd like to know what wc -w is actually returning. The word count is less than what gedit is counting in Document Statistics, so obviously gedit is counting something (like newlines) that wc -w is not
2) Secondly, I was wondering if there was a way to grep x number of words. I'm looking for something like the -m option, but returning a certain number of words instead of lines. For example, to find the first 2000 words, do something like grep -someoption 2000 ".*" or using {1,2000}.
3) Finally, I'm trying to filter out headers and footers of a text file but having no luck. The text files are Project Gutenberg files, so they have standardized headers and footers. Here's an example: [URL]...
The header starts with "The Project Gutenberg EBook of" and ends with the line containing "START OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK" The footers begin with: "End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of" My problem is, grep can find:

May 31, 2011i am trying to create an exclude regular expression for my build.xml. The problem is, that i am trying to find some info on which REs are acceptable/valid for ant... Is ant using standard regular expressions? POSIX ones? Since it is a java-based tool, the "Java REs" are probably valid. I am a little bit confused. If somebody can help me out with the different RE standards, i would be most obliged.

Mar 17, 2010Gidday, I'm puzzled as to why this works:
Code:
find /Data/ -type f -iname "*7pm*"
But this doesn't:
Code:
find /Data/ -type f -regex *7[Pp][Mm]*
I've tried MANY variations, but I'm getting no error messages, just no returns, and yet the first find, will find the sorts of files I'm looking for. I realise a win is a win, but I'm of the understanding that the -regex switch allows for some really complex use of regular expressions - but I can't even get a very simple one to work,

The first thing I am working on is to modify the command date to be shown as DD/MM/YY only using regular expression but I dont know how to combine what there is in the regexp tutorials online and the syntax for batch scripting. Any help?

#!/bin/bash

Also if you can point me to good regexp tutorials (directed towards batch scripting), that will be great.

General :: Delete Files On The Command Line With Regular Expressions?
May 6, 2010Lets say I have 20 files named FOOXX, where XX is the number of the file, eg 01, 02 etc. At the moment, if I want to delete all files lower than the number 10, this is easy and I just use a wildcard, eg rm FOO0* However, if I want to delete specific files ina range, eg 13-15, this becomes more difficult. rm FPP[13-15] does not work, and asks me if I wish to delete all files. Likewse rm FOO1[3-5] wishes to delete all files that begin with FOO1 So, what is the best way to delete ranges of files like this? I have tried with both bash and zsh, and I don't think they differ so much for such a basic task?

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Using Grep With Changing Expressions?
Mar 20, 2011how to use grep with an expression that is constantly changing... basically this is what I am trying to do:
Code: watch "mpstat -P ALL | grep -e '`date +%r`'" which, should show me my CPU usage updated every couple seconds. The grep is being used to omit lines that aren't needed (all the useful lines start with the current time.) Problem is, it seems to execute the 'date +%r' command once.
I would like grep to execute the date command every time the watch command updates.
EDIT: I've found a workaround by putting the
Code: mpstat -P ALL | grep -e "`date +%r`" All in a shell file (that I called cpustat.sh), and then executing watch ./cpustat.sh
Would still like to know if there is an actual solution without having to create a seperate file (and preferably in one line). I have tried using a function to do the mpstat and grep part, but apparently watch doesn't play nice with functions
