I have some text files (Just plain text files, not OpenOffice files or anything) and when I try to open them in Windows they are all one line. I think I read somewhere that Linux uses for new lines whereas Windows uses or something... I am using Kate to edit them, and I have a LOT of files to fix so...
View 9 RepliesI do not know what happened. But when I move the text files back and forth between Windows and Linux, the enters/paragraphs gets messed up and square characters appears. And I think it got worse when I deleted those squares. So now it is one very long line. How do I get the long line to break every 50 characters but not having the last word get cut off mid-word? I am thinking "cat textfile > something" but I do not know what that something is.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 2 text files : file1.txt and file2.txt
cat file1.txt
15 this is a sentence containing various words and spaces
34 this is a another sentence containing various words and spaces
cat file2.txt
2 this is sentence1file2
6 this is sentence2file2
54 this is sentence3file2
I would like to join these 2 files. The result should look as follows :
cat joinedfile.txt
2 this is sentence1file2
6 this is sentence2file2
15 this is a sentence containing various words and spaces
34 this is a another sentence containing various words and spaces

==> so the joined file must be sorted on the first number. Any ideas how this can be achieved ?

I really hate this warning when I try to open certain types of files in gedit: (using ubuntu lucid)
Quote:
Do you want to run File.c or display its contents?
"File.c" is an executable text file.
Open in Terminal; Display; Cancel; Run
Is there any way to remove the warning? I have never once clicked anything other than display, and when I'm opening lots of files, having to hold down ALT-D to get rid of these warnings.
I have two txt files containing x and y coordinates: xcoord.txt & ycoord.txt. I need to open them; read them line by line to get each coordinate; then each time I need to update Xs and Ys parameters inside another file called "dc.in" with the grabbed values.
Finally each time I need to run two exe files ( dc_2002 and st_vac) and produce corresponding output for each Xs and Ys ( dc.in is an input file for this exe files)
I have written the following code but it does not work:
This solution works but is slow with large files. I am looking for a faster solution.
The 2 files contain filenames, one of them has associated data I want to append to the other file's matching filenames

I'm a bit new to Python programming and hoped that someone might be able to help with a problem I'm having. What I essentially want to do is to combine two text files line for line. I know how to do this in a bash script so to give you a better idea here's the code for that:
Code:
This is basically for adding on values to the end of a CSV file that uses ';' as the delimiter. So say file1 said:
And file2 said:
Then running this command would create merged_file1_and_file2 which would be:
The code I'm using at the moment is:
Code:
As I'm sure any experienced python programmer will see, this prints out the first line of the file "csvraw" and then all of the lines of "stamps" and then the remainder of "csvraw".
What I'd like to do is something like: (pseudo code, I know it's not python ;-))

Is this possible? I've tried googling and my Python Pocket Reference hasn't been much help. I've looked at pickling but that doesn't seem appropriate.

How can I replace one instance of a word in a text file with a piece of text that spreads several lines ? I know sed or awk is the way to go but don't know that how I can introduce new paragraphs using these tools
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm pretty sure this is doable from the command line, but my CLI skills have degraded a lot since my pre-Y2K admin days. The goal is to search all the files in the directory for a very long string of text and replace it with another string of text. The text being searched for is my Google Adsense code (which will be stripped from my website) and it will be replaced with a placeholder so I can easily tack something else in there in the future.
Seeing how I have that long snip of code on about 100 pages, automating the process would make life easier.
If I was searching for a single word, I can see ways to do this.
If I paste the code I'm searching for into a text file, is there a way to:
find (contents of oldstring.txt) and replace with (contents of newstring.txt)?
I want to (from the command line) be able to counte lines in a bunch of files of a specific type in a folder and all its sub-folders. How would I do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI work a lot with Unix bash shell environment. Whenever I go down the directory tree to several subdirectories, i.e., /home/a/b/c/d/ and so on and type in a long command, what happens is that command text wraps around onto the new line but when trying to edit command I can only go back to the beginning of the new line. So, for, instance, say I go to directory and type something like:
/home/a/b/c/d/find . -type f -exec sed -i <- end of line
's/blah/blah/g' {} ; <- new line
Here, the problem is I can't go back to the real beginning of my command that starts with "find", I can only scroll to the beginning of the new line with the part "'s/blah/blah/g' {} ;"
So I effectively loose control over what I typed and can't edit it when the command wraps to a new line. Does anyone else experience this problem?
I also have this problem on our Debian servers so I always have to make sure I type the right command the first time because I can't move back and forth to edit it when it wraps to a new line.

A real os should at least e able to read and write plain text, you think? But no, when I try to open my text files (mainly made with gedit) some characters are ass, swedish letters rarely work and ', ", / and so on are not represented as the characters I want to see. Is there a easy, fast way to read (and print!) my text files at school, where they have only windows, without spending half an hour fixing the file by hand?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have to delete a certain line of text from the a textfile via ubuntu's shell scripting.I have done research, and it seems that most people advocate the usage of sed /d option. sed makes does not edit the text file. Hence, most options I discovered involved the use of a temporary variable/textfile and then overwriting the old file with the temporary new file. Is there anyway whereby I can bypass the use of temporary storage containers? I hope there is any magical combination of commands to edit the file directly.

View 16 Replies View RelatedWas wondering if any perl guru's could help me with a quick log file adjustment. I have a text file that looks like so (tabs and newlines are revealed so you can see what separates the data):
There are maybe 100 lines of text in this file at any given time. I need to delete all duplicate lines only looking at the first bit of text prior to the first tab. It doesn't matter which one gets deleted as long as there are no two lines that begin with that same text at the beginning before the first tab. So in this example, either the fist line "1234" or the last line "1234" would need to be deleted. I already have code in my script that opens the files - I just need the code to read the text into an array and the part that would find matches based on the above criteria, and make the deletions.
If it would be easier, I can even do a system call and use SED (v4.1.5) and/or AWK (3.1.5) instead.
