I am trying to find a way to search a text file for a certain keyword and then select each line containing the word , copy and paste these lines into another text file. I can do this easily with UltraEdit but I cannot figure out how to do it in Jedit or Scite.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI need to chop of the top 30ish lines of several log files until a line starting with "Initialization completed."The trouble is that it's not always the same amount of lines that need to be deleted, and they don't always contain the same information, which is why I would need to delete everything priorhe line starting with "Initialization completed."Right now I have a little script I wrote based on looping each file through several "grep -v" commands with each known pattern of lines I want to ignore, but it is tedious and I have to inspect each file afterwards to make sure nothing is left from above "Initialization completed

I've been trying to sort this out for several hours and I?m totally lost? I?ve been searching around, but haven?t found the solution to my problem. I have a directory with 100 files. I need to copy 10 lines of each files (let?s say from line 45 to 55) into one unique file. So I guess I could use sed ?w, but I didn?t manage to write the right script. I also tried using a loop to create 100 different files, each one with the 10 lines) to concatenate them later on. But I only got 1 file, not 100.
View 12 Replies View RelatedA function by name abc is called in many files. I want to copy all the lines with the function call to an output file.A simple grep on function name doesn't help me as the function call is spanning across multiple lines as follows:
abc(parameter1,
parameter2,
parameter3);
So I want to copy all the three lines (till semicolon) to the output file.The problem is because there are more than 200 calls for the same function and I cannot do it manually
this is driving me crazy. How can i in the terminal, display only the first 5 lines of say dmesg

I want to select lines from FileA based on a key field in FileB.
egrep does this nicely:
"egrep -w '0132874|0132880|0100765' < " FileA
Suppose FileB consists of three lines:
0132874
0132880
0100765
Is there a way to code egrep to do the selection? I really like code which does not use explicit loops so my interest is to find a grep or egrep or sed (or some other) command to perform this function.
Neither file is sorted on the key field but they could be. There is no requirement to keep the files in their present order.We may assume that each key value in each file is unique.

View 14 Replies View RelatedHow to copy a Read-Only file in Linux and make the copy writable with a single cp command in Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)? The --no-preserve and --preserve seemed to be good candidates, except that they should "and" the mode flags, while what I am looking for is something that will "or" them (add +w mode).
More details: I have to import a repository from GIT to Perforce. I want that all Perforce depot files are Read-Only (that is how Perforce was designed), while all other files that were derived/copied from depot files are writable. Currently if a Makefile tries to copy a Read-Only file then the derived file will also be Read-only. This leads to build-errors when cp tries to overwrite Read-Only file second time. Of course the --force is a workaround here but then the derived file is also Read-Only. Also I do not want to mess with "chmod" after each "cp" command - I will do that only as the last resort.

I have 2 Ubuntu machines up & running on a small network. Both are running SAMBA servers. One several years old & has a rather old version of Ubuntu. The other, quite new & has a version about 9 months old.The newest has a problem. When working with large & complex Word documents, it will periodically generate an an error on the work station.
"Word failed reading from this fille (xxx specifies file we are working on). Please restore the network connection or replace the floppy disk drive". The it crashes Word & unsaved work is lost.The error never occurs when using the old server, only the new.
Using the latest version of Ubuntu desktop on an emachine t5062 if it matters. I have a text file of keywords that is one-three words line after line for like 5000 lines. How would I go about adding a word to each line.Aside from typing it in or copying and pasting.If it can`t be done with Gedit I am all for using another program.
