I need sed to be able to search a string that includes both single quotes (') and double quotes ("). can anyone help me out, there has to be a way to do this.
So far I have tried:
But none of these work and I cannot think of how else to escape the sed quote inside of brackets.
I want to convert double quote to single quote in a text file. I tried escape characters however no success. Please find details as follows:
-sh-3.00$ sed 's/"/'/g test.txt
sed: -e expression #1, char 7: unterminated `s' command
-sh-3.00$ cat test.txt
"unix"
I want "unix" to be converted to 'unix'
I want to watch a number of processes in "D" status repeatedly with following command:Code:# watch -n 1 'top -b -n 1 | awk '{if ($8 == "D") {print; count++} } END {print count}''but it didn't work. I also tried with double quote. Can I use 'watch' command is this case?PS: I know 'while' and 'sleep' can do the same but it is dirty workaround.

My job is to find all occurances of the function call to "sequentialInsert" and to also list the files from where the code came from. Also, I have to be in the commandsAsst directory when I do this. I have tried grep and find combined together, and I am at a lost.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to find each line in a file which does NOT begin with a double quote (") and append that line to the previous line. I have been successful doing this using the following command:
cat filname.csv | sed -e :a -e '$!Ns/
[^"]//;ta -e 'P;D' > newfilename.csv
My issue is the substitution. As you would expect after the line is appended to the previous line the first character is removed. I need it to not be removed. I tried:
cat filname.csv | sed -e :a -e '$!Ns/
[^"]/&/;ta -e 'P;D' > newfilename.csv
but it just hangs.
Goal:
Input:
"line 1"
line 2
Output with existing sed command is:
line 1ine2
I need it to be line1line2.
Please look at the comments

There is probably a very simple fix, but its wrecking my buzzI call the following on the command lineR CMD BATCH '--args Y_filename="one.txt" out="two.txt"' brew.RI want to call this from a bash script but replace one.txt with $1, and two.txt with $2 (ie the first two arguments from the command line)I have tried in vane"R CMD BATCH '--args Y_filename="$1" out="$2"' brew.R"
View 8 Replies View Relatedthe project I'm working on requires parsing a text file with fields separated by the | char and using perl to insert/update a mysql database. Some of the fields are simple numeric and others are text fields. In some of the text fields I run into a problem creating a proper insert statement for the perl api to mysql if I don't escape the single quote (') char with a backslash (). I can take each text file and do a manual subsitutiton, but I would prefer to use the script that prepares the text file to do it for me. I've tried sed (ex: sed s/'/\'/g ) and it runs cleanly, but does nothing to accomplish my goal. I suppose I could write a function to read the file character by character and write it out that way, but it seems a waste.

I have a file which provide the output of all the applications which started and running successfully. But it doesn't give the Error message of the applications which are failed.

Application ABC is Running
Application DEF is Running
Application NMO is Running
Application XYZ is Running
I want to generate the text message based on the information on out.txt that STO application is Failed.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am arthritic and I have considerable difficulty with a double click. I also have difficulty when using a mouse of moving the mouse as I select something (click the button) from whatever window I am working with and thereby selecting the wrong thing. To compensate for this difficulty, I use a Logitech trackball and program the center button to perform a double click with one stroke. I am currently struggling with Linux Mint 9 in my search for a Windows alternative. Is there any way to program my center button (scroll wheel) to perform a double click in this or any other Linux version? Alternatively, is there any way to program a keyboard key to perform a double mouse click with a single stroke? I do not want any multiple key combinations for this operation, I want something that works with a single click of one button.

I am looking for a way to search for large numbers in text files and print the nearby lines.
For example if I had a text file like:
Event: 11
blah: 3
blah: 41 bleh: 19
Event: 2
blah: 31
[Code].....
Code:
#!/bin/bash
VARR=`cat /proc/asound/cards | grep HDMI | cut -c 1-2`
VARX="defaults.ctl.card $VARR"
VARY="defaults.pcm.card $VARR"
FILE1="alsa"
FILE2="alsa.new"
echo $VARX
echo $VARY
sed "s/defaults.ctl.card*/'$VARX'/g" $FILE1 > $FILE2
This is what I have right now. Well, I thought I knew sed, and apparently I don't... I tried writing this for someone else, and this has given me trouble, so since the user pretty much figured it out on his own, here it goes.
Say VARR=1, so VARX and VARY contain the above text, appended by 1.
What I am trying to do is replace the text "defaults.ctl.card 0" by VARX and "defaults.pcm.card 0" by VARY. The contents of FILE1 is the file being used to search for both text fields, and FILE2 is the output file. I tried using single quotes, double quotes, and a mixture of both, and no go whatsoever. So my question... What is the proper way of searching for text within a file and replacing with a variable?
I am on Ubuntu 11.04 and using Libre Office 3.3.2 to compose new documents and am saving them using .doc, .ppt and .xls files. (due to having to share them with others who are on Windows systems)
I have a lot of doc files and I need to search for text INSIDE these files. I am perplexed with the fact that no search tool is able to search for text INSIDE these file types. "cat" can display them of course, but grep is not able to locate text INSIDE these file types. I even tried to save a .doc file as an .odt file, but no luck. The Applications>Accessories>Search for Files does not search INSIDE doc, xls or ppt with the option "Contains the text".
