Ubuntu :: Find And Replace With Sed At Beginning Of A Word
Nov 15, 2010I want to write a small script to rename a bunch of files. Their name is of the form 'long number'|'name'|'extension', for example:
52354Football_part2.flv
2353452Nice_weather_4_ducks.flv
I would like to rename these to:
Football_part2.flv
Nice_weather_4_ducks.flv
If in my script I use something like
Code:
sed s/[0-9]//g
on each file, I will get
Football_part.flv, instead of Football_part2.flv,
and
Nice_weather__ducks.flv, instead of Nice_weather_4_ducks.flv.
how to instruct sed to only remove numbers that are in the beginning of the name in a simple way?

General :: Find Pattern And Comment Out 2 Lines After It?
Oct 14, 2010How do yo find a pattern with sed or awk and then:
- add a # at the beginning of the line containing it
- and add a # at the beginning of the following 2 lines, too?
Say, I want to comment out the line containing "which 0launch" and the two lines following it:
if [ -x "`which 0launch`" ]; then
exec 0launch http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/ROX-Filer -S
fi
Expected result:
#if [ -x "`which 0launch`" ]; then
# exec 0launch http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/ROX-Filer -S
#fi
I need this because I do not want to comment out every line containing "fi", just the "fi" of this specific if statement.

General :: Filtering Out Duplicate Lines From A Find/grep Output
Mar 22, 2010I have some big files of logs that contain errors printed by an app. They are most of the time relevant, however most of them are similar. So i figured i could check what happened between a time interval with a find.
Im using this one

And I get an output similar to this one.
Code:
Is there a way to condensate the output lines to get only one or two, indicating the start and last occurrence of a block? Or I need to create a program to do so?
Because right now I get thousands of similar lines, but when I'm scrolling through them i sometimes miss relevant information that i would've otherwise noted if it wasn't all that spammy.
