I'm try the use wildcards for file searches in Nautilus (ctrl+s) but using sets and character classes doesn't return any results. For example
[[:upper:]]*
[![:digit]]*
*[[:alpha:]]
[crm]*
Is this kind of notation supported in Ubuntu or do I have something wrong in my syntax.
I'm struggling with the Vim find/replace command using wildcards.
I have several, big html files with lots of instances of: <p stuffiwanttoremove>
I've been trying the Vim command: %s/<p *>/<p>/ge
but it doesn't seem to work.
Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
I realise there may be alternatives to this (eg a bash script)
I want to make a keyboard shortcut that runs the following command:
Code:
smplayer /tmp/Flash*
This is to play things as ..... videos etc. in smplayer using vdpau instead of the laggy flashplayer
The wildcard * works in terminals, but not in the command of the shortcut or in the Alt-F2 launcher... Could anyone point me to what I could write instead?
I searched and I found a few threads on this but none answered my question really.I'm using:
Code:
curl www.foo.com | grep '<h2>.*.</h2>'
Basically I want to extract all instances of
Code:
<h2>Blah blah blah</h2>
from the page source, but it's not giving me that, it gives me <h2>.. followed by a loads of other stuff that I don't want. I haven't used wildcards with grep before so I don't really know whether I'm doing it right or not.
I am cleaning up some text files to put on a website and am using the find/replace feature of Gedit extensively. The only problem I am having is that I can't find a way to use wildcards. For instance, I want to use the "?" and "*" in the same or similar way you do in bash. I already know that:
Represents a carriage return, and that is great, but I want to do something like: "?." to replace "A.", "B.", "1.", "2." with just plain spaces. The document in question is written in narrative, but has a bunch of outline markers in it, and I want to remove the outline markers.
I tried "escaping" the characters in a similar way as by using "?.", but that didn't work. Google was not very fruitful, and the Gedit help seems to be Gnome help and includes all kinds of useless info (for my problem) about wildcards in other programs.
I'm trying to make a shell script, and for part of it I need to search through a file, find the ip in the file, and save ONLY the ip to another file. ( not the entire line that its on ) I understand grep has wildcards, where I could do something like, "grep (...........) traceroute-output for an ip address.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got an interesting problem when it comes to wildcard entries in bind. If I put the following in:
qa.express IN A 172.16.0.10
* IN A 172.17.1.156
If I then look up "express.example.com" it doesn't return an answer - it *should* return 172.17.1.156, but it won't unless I put that hostname in specifically. qa.express.example.com resolves as expected.
Is there a way to do a batch renames of files that will keep each individual filename, but change it in the way I want?
The specific issue is this. I have a harddrive with something like 1300 movies on it. They're all organized alphabetically, but there are like 200 movies that begin with 'The'. I want to rename all of these movies that begin with The so that the The at the beginning is dropped and added at the end (for example, turn "The Shawshank Redemption" into "Shawshank Redemption, The"). I'd like to do this with a simple command if its possible.
I am trying to clean up a collection of music files, often in windows i receive errors on the collection because some of the files have a "?" question mark in the file name, in windows this is not a valid character for file names. How can i search/find files with a question mark in the name? Each time i try to search for "?" i receive a list of items that match a wildcard search where ? is a wildcard. I want to find file names that actually contain the character "?".
View 2 Replies View Relatedhaving bit of a trouble with path expansion of strings that contain some whitespace and wildcards First my script sources a configuration file that contains array assignments
Code:
...
BACKUP_TARGET_FILES[2]=/boot/config-* # no problems
BACKUP_TARGET_FILES[3]="/root/random dir with space/file*" # this is the problem
...
then later in the script I want to expand BACKUP_TARGET_FILES elements as below
Code:
IFS_DEFAULT="$IFS"
shopt -s nullglob
shopt -s dotglob
IFS=
[code]....
this code seems to work but I'm not quite satisfied with it. I'd like to get rid those IFS changes, but haven't found out a solution as of yet. Problem with default IFS seems to be that with it neither $pattern or "$pattern" work; it either interprets pattern as multiple words (because of spaces) and so expands to wrong paths or it ignores * because it's within quotes.
Is it possible to change my current nautilus window to have sudo capabilities,? e.g. to delete locked files. It may be lazy but if it takes a lot of navigation then it would be handy to somehow activate sudo from the open window without the terminal command (gksudo nautilus) which always begins at root.

Does anyone know how I can move the location bar in nautilus up by the toolbar, as shown by this pic:
http://i39.tinypic.com/2qdsyll.jpg
I'd rather not have to download the source of nautilus and edit the code / compile it myself.
By the way, a guy on Ubuntu Forums thought this was a mockup. It's not. It's the regular version of Nautilus, only I removed some toolbar buttons through the /usr/share/nautilus/ui xml files.
I just want the location bar next to the toolbar to conserve screen space, and be a bit more like Finder.
I was transferring data from one computer to my laptop and crash error came up on my laptop...

Error 2:

What could be the problem? Is it serious issue? I have been having security issues with Windows and are those issues begun once again? I have been under targeted attack since 2005.
what's the difference between Nautilus and Nautilus-Elementary?

Since a couple of days back mostly all the folders and files I had on my download directory are not visible in Nautilus. Some of them are still there, but the majority it's like vanished. The folder is where everything I download with Transmission goes into. The tricky thing is that all those files are visible through the terminal, pcman file manager or konqueror, but not Nautilus, which is very annoying. I've tried reinstalling Nautilus from Synaptic, checking the 'show hidden files' option, checking and changing files and folder permissions and I also checked that there's no hidden instance of Nautilus running. I have Ubuntu 10.04 (upgraded from a 9.10) and the files are on a ext4 drive. Nautilus version is 2.30.1

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu 10.04 has nautilus 2.31, which has a couple of features i don't like:space bar doesn't open multiple folders, like ENTER does. Sometimes it's more comfortable to hit the space bar instead of the enter key. I could do this in fomer versions (ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04).when i copy folders or files which are called the same as the ones in the destination folder, the prompt to replace/merge has the options accept and skip, and if i want to do the same every time the soincidence of names takes place, y have to first tick "always do the same" and then click "replace", for example. In former versions of nautilus/ubuntu (8.10, 9.04 at least) the prompt had buttons replace-replace all-skip-skip all, so a single click could do the job.How can i go back to those versions of nautilus, while still using ubuntu 10.04?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI had been playing around with various Python scripts in order to add certain columns to Nautilus, in particular bitrate, length, artist and genre for information on mp3 files. Well, I got greedy and installed something I shouldn't have and now I have massive duplicate columns available, and checking them to be visible has no effect at all. I have lost all the information that would populate the aforementioned columns.
I went to the Configuration Editor, went to apps>nautilus>list view>default visible columns and deleted the extraneous columns. I also disabled all the pythons scripts I put in ~/.nautilus/python-extensions. The extra columns never go away, and, if checked, never make visible the named information. Here is a screencap.

What I find particularly strange is there has been no update recently related to the U1 client. I am guessing this may be a server issue, but it seems that only a few of us are affected currently Until this is resolved, I can no longer use ubuntu one. Pretty much a show-stopper as I rely on it regularly.
How can I make Nautilus act like Mac OS X Finder?
