Ubuntu :: Grep - Regex And Searchstring With Singlequotes ?
Feb 4, 2011
At my work i have a legacy web system that tells the id of documents based on some given variables. this information can be used in another system to retrieve the needed file.
I am trying to automate this, and have managed to feed the variables and download the correct page using wget. The result is a result.php page with a lot of embedded info.
The information i am looking for is enclosed in single quotes on a line like this:
The information i want is the 1234 part.
I thought i could do like this from bash:
But I always get an empty string back... any idea what i am doing wrong?

thenecho "$i/.tcshrc exists!"elseecho "$i/.tcshrc does not exist"

I'm trying to craft a tricky regex using Sed. I'm trying to clean up some code which has bazillions of lines over 80 characters in length, mainly because of these end-of-line comments. I want to change them to a nicer format. I've put the code on Pastebin because the formatting is better: [URL]. Bear in mind those are tabs, not spaces.

This makes me feel like a total n00b but I'm trying to figure out how to replace an XML close tag (such as </pagenum> ) with the same XML close tag followed by yet another close tag. (I want every occurrence of '</pagenum>' to be replaced with '</pagenum></p>').
I've tried using something like this:
Code:
sed 's/</pagenum>/</pagenum></p>/' old.xml new.xml
What am I missing? Please forgive me. I'm diving head first into RegEx.

My friend lost her dissertation and she had only a pdf copy of it. I am trying to convert the pdf into an odt format. After copy-pasting the content into an odt, i need to replace all paragraph breaks which are not following a dot with a space. For which i thought of using the regular expression feature of Libre Office. I've not succeeded so far.
I tried: to replace [:alpha:]$ or [a-z]$ or [a-z]>$ with space, but none of them worked. Finding [a-z] seems to work, finding [a-z]> too. So did finding $ (end of paragraph) but if i combine any regex with $ then it doesn't find anything.

So I just recently downloaded Regex-PreSuf. I believe it downloaded correctly, and also install correctly (did the following):
> downloaded it
> gzipped
> tar'ed
> perl Makefile.PL
> make
> make test
> make install
This is the file listing after the make install completed:
[Code]....
The output from the make, and make install gave the All OK, but there is no documentation with it that shows how to use it? Does anyone know what you have to do to use it? From what I read, it is used to enter a string and it gives you the regex that matches that string exactly? This is what I tried, from within the directory and its the output:

I am not a big skype user, but I was chatting with my sister, made a typo and habitually typed
tpyo
s/tpyo/typo/
to my surprise it actually changed the history. I am using the linux skype client 2.1.0.47-r1 and my sister is using 4.something on windows.
When she tried to do the same thing, it didn't work. Does anyone know if this is specific to the linux version?

In a bash-script, only the case if a regular expression does not match is relevant.herefore I used the exclamation mark !. But where to place it?
These two work fine, but are they equivalent?
Code: if ! [[ $abc =~ $pattern ]]; then or
Code: if [[ ! $abc =~ $pattern ]]; then Where is the ! placed more correct?

sometimes there are one, sometime there are two exchanges in this log file. the 100= is the stock exchange- if there are two, they are seperated by a comma. i understand how to escape a comma in a regex, but I am having trouble with combining it.
35=8 39=1 38=1000 32=13 14=754 31=1.11 44=1.1 100=AMEX,ISE
35=8 39=1 38=1000 32=151 14=205 31=1.1 44=1.1 100=AMEX
35=U 39=2 38=1000 32=45 14=184 31=1.1 44=1.1 100=AMEX,ISE

I'm using bash scripting to find any file that matches a path governed by the following regular expression:
"(monthly|nightly).[0-9]+/home/(user1|user2)/.mailbox/"
to match files like:
monthly.9/home/user1/.mailbox/l23131564
nightly.15/home/user2/.mailbox/cur/6546213
I've tried:
Code:
myRegex="(monthly|nightly).[0-9]+/home/(user1|user2)/.mailbox/"
find ./ -regextype posix-egrep -regex $myRegex
and it just spins and never gives me an answer, even though the file structure isn't that big.

Today I moved my Slackware64-current installations to multilib. I blacklisted the gcc and glib packages in the blacklist-file for slackpkg. In the blacklistfile they say:
Code:
# Now we can blacklist using regular expressions.
# This one will blacklist all SBo packages:
#[0-9]+_SBo
I have blacklisted
Code:
...
# The gcc compiler suite:
gcc
gcc-g++
gcc-gfortran
gcc-gnat
gcc-java
gcc-objc
# The GNU libc libraries:
glibc
glibc-i18n
glibc-profile
glibc-solibs
glibc-zoneinfo
glibc-debug
...
How I can use the mentioned regular expressions in order to make blacklisting more efficient?

I have some lines of text and I want to detect words that meet some criteria with sed.
E.g. The line "tetris cat dog test cactus stereotype"
I want to detect the word that contains two (2) ore more t letters. That mean the words tetris, test and stereotype.
The following regex doesn't do the job because it can;t distinguish words very well.
I thinks I have ti incorporate something like [^ ] in the regex but I wasn't successful...

I'm attempting to use REGEX to isolate media (video and audio) essence that relate to alias/reference Quicktime movies. The Quicktime movie filename (excluding ".mov" can always be found in the media-essence filename.Stages of my process are:I cache the contents of a text file into an array ($file). This text file/array contains a list of Quicktime movies and media essence. Essence for each Quicktime movie is contained in this text file. An example text file is below:
Code:

So those of you that know me will agree that when it comes to awk I don't usually ask a lot of questions ... however this one has me stumped. I am guessing I have missed something obvious but for the life of me (and I have tested at great length) I cannot find it So the scenario is this: The following awk code should identify all versions of libgpg-error within the attached file (see below) and only show one for each version:

I'm fairly new to Perl and regular expressions. I have a large collection of files with their file names in the following general format: string - another string with spaces (2004) [year].ext I would like to know how I could create a regex to separate out:
the first string
another string with spaces
year
extension
If you know of a better way of doing it without regular expressions, I would be happy to hear that way too.
