Was wondering if any perl guru's could help me with a quick log file adjustment. I have a text file that looks like so (tabs and newlines are revealed so you can see what separates the data):
There are maybe 100 lines of text in this file at any given time. I need to delete all duplicate lines only looking at the first bit of text prior to the first tab. It doesn't matter which one gets deleted as long as there are no two lines that begin with that same text at the beginning before the first tab. So in this example, either the fist line "1234" or the last line "1234" would need to be deleted. I already have code in my script that opens the files - I just need the code to read the text into an array and the part that would find matches based on the above criteria, and make the deletions.
If it would be easier, I can even do a system call and use SED (v4.1.5) and/or AWK (3.1.5) instead.
I have two txt files containing x and y coordinates: xcoord.txt & ycoord.txt. I need to open them; read them line by line to get each coordinate; then each time I need to update Xs and Ys parameters inside another file called "dc.in" with the grabbed values.
Finally each time I need to run two exe files ( dc_2002 and st_vac) and produce corresponding output for each Xs and Ys ( dc.in is an input file for this exe files)
I have written the following code but it does not work:
I'm a bit new to Python programming and hoped that someone might be able to help with a problem I'm having. What I essentially want to do is to combine two text files line for line. I know how to do this in a bash script so to give you a better idea here's the code for that:
Code:
This is basically for adding on values to the end of a CSV file that uses ';' as the delimiter. So say file1 said:
And file2 said:
Then running this command would create merged_file1_and_file2 which would be:
The code I'm using at the moment is:
Code:
As I'm sure any experienced python programmer will see, this prints out the first line of the file "csvraw" and then all of the lines of "stamps" and then the remainder of "csvraw".
What I'd like to do is something like: (pseudo code, I know it's not python ;-))
Code:
Is this possible? I've tried googling and my Python Pocket Reference hasn't been much help. I've looked at pickling but that doesn't seem appropriate.
Is there any way to add a character to the end of a line when a certain match text is matched. I have a text file where any line that contacts text XYZ a z is placed at the end.
15 this is a sentence containing various words and spaces 34 this is a another sentence containing various words and spaces
cat file2.txt
2 this is sentence1file2 6 this is sentence2file2 54 this is sentence3file2
I would like to join these 2 files. The result should look as follows :
cat joinedfile.txt
2 this is sentence1file2 6 this is sentence2file2 15 this is a sentence containing various words and spaces 34 this is a another sentence containing various words and spaces 54 this is sentence3file2
==> so the joined file must be sorted on the first number. Any ideas how this can be achieved ?
I have huge text files with two fields, the first is a string the second is an integer. The files are sorted by the first field. What I'd like to get in the output is one line per unique string and the sum of the numbers for the identical strings. Some strings appear only once while other appear multiple times. Given the sample data below, for the string glehnia I'd like to get 10+22=32 in the result. how to do this either with gnuwin32 command line tools or in linux shell?
How can I replace one instance of a word in a text file with a piece of text that spreads several lines ? I know sed or awk is the way to go but don't know that how I can introduce new paragraphs using these tools
I am trying to write a program in C which compares two files and prints the line that is equal.
Here file1.txt has
and file2.txt has
Note: file2.txt consist of only a single string where as file2.txt has multiple lines. Actually im comparing two files with md5sum values.
Here is the code but it compares only first line of files..but it should compare the whole file1..and sorry iam a beginner in C can any1 sujest some modification to this code so that..it can compare file2 with entire file1
How can I list the following with grep. I want to extract 2 lines fron a text file The fixed known part if it exists will static text and the text line after it will change.
A sample file . . textline1
[code]....
If the fixed part does Not exist how can I return error code 1
bash 3.1.17(2) I'm trying do write a shell script which must operate on each line of an ASCII text file. So, all the code must be inside a loop, and inside the loop, the first thing should be to read the next line from the file. I have the bash read command. But it reads from stdin. Any way to make read from a file?
I have two files (not sorted) and need to compare line by line (i.e. first line of file1 to be compared to all the lines of file2 and so as for the rest of file1). Output will be an array of length of file2. Any suggestion in BASH other than a grep inside two read line loops ( which is time consuming for files ~1000s of lines).
I'm trying to add text to a file for a specific group of users, I'll need to do examples as I can't think of an easy way of explaining, my file is like this:
Code:
users{ user1 user2
[code]....
At the present my code lists all the available groups, how would I add a user to a specified group? (e.g add "members user3") to the end of group 1 for example. So the code ends up like this
My site was recently hacked and a line of <JAVASCRIPT> was inserted into all my php files. Is there a way to pull just that one line out of all the php files on the server? I was thinking of using a grep -iR <CODE> *.php then piping thru sed
Is there a way to specify to find that I only want text files (and not binary files)? Grep has an option to exclude binary files, so I thought find probably has a similar feature, but I've been unable to find it.
I have some text files (Just plain text files, not OpenOffice files or anything) and when I try to open them in Windows they are all one line. I think I read somewhere that Linux uses for new lines whereas Windows uses or something... I am using Kate to edit them, and I have a LOT of files to fix so...
I want to (from the command line) be able to counte lines in a bunch of files of a specific type in a folder and all its sub-folders. How would I do this?
I'm pretty sure this is doable from the command line, but my CLI skills have degraded a lot since my pre-Y2K admin days. The goal is to search all the files in the directory for a very long string of text and replace it with another string of text. The text being searched for is my Google Adsense code (which will be stripped from my website) and it will be replaced with a placeholder so I can easily tack something else in there in the future.
Seeing how I have that long snip of code on about 100 pages, automating the process would make life easier. If I was searching for a single word, I can see ways to do this. If I paste the code I'm searching for into a text file, is there a way to: find (contents of oldstring.txt) and replace with (contents of newstring.txt)?
I'm extracting data from a xml file writing it to separate files then combining the results as a csv file.The problem is keeping the separate files in sync line by line.When a grep does not action I would like to put in a blank line or something to keep the lines in order.When the "<title>" is missing as in as in the first"<programme </programme>" that's where I need somethingto write to the file as dummy data to increment the line
I need to edit the sudo file on lots of machines. I figure the easiest way is to run a for loop to ssh to each box, sed the sudoers file to a new file & copy/move back over the top of the original (and of course, change permissions accordingly)
The problem is, I'm not sure how to add a line after a match with sed.
So if my file looks like:
Code:
I'd like it to add the new sudoer after "other" so the file looks like:
I have two files, file1.traj and file2.traj. Both these files contain identical data and the data are arranged in same format in them. The first line of both files is a comment.
At line 7843 of both files there is a cartesian coordinate X, Y and Z ( three digits ). And at line 15685 there is another three digits. The number of lines in between two cartesian coordinates are 7841. And there are few hundreds of thousands of lines in a file.
What I need to do is copy the X Y Z coordinate (three digits) from file1.traj at line 7843 and paste into file2.traj at the same line number as in file1.traj. The next line will be 15685 from file1.traj and replace at line 15685 at file2.traj. And I dont want other lines (data) in file2.traj get altered. This sequence shall be going on until the end of the file. Means copy and substitude the selected lines from file1.traj into file2.traj.
I tried to use paste command but I cant do for specified line alone.
Here i showed the data format in the file. I used the line number for clarity purpose.
To get it into CSV, I just need to perform 3 find and replace operations:
First, replace the first " " (space) with a "," (comma). Next, replace the first " [" (space and right-facing square bracket) with a "," (comma). Finally, replace the first "] " (left-facing square bracket and a space) with a "," (comma).
The reason it must only be the first such occurance, is the definition area contains lots of spaces and square brackets which I'd like to leave left untouched.
I want to access a file, and check the length of every line.After, i want to check and replace all lines with length over 10 characters, with a message.Does anyone have a clue on that?
I'm working with a rather large file of data taking from a tracking program on my phone, and trying to pull only the longitude and latitude from it. Any given line in the data looks more or less like this:
Which is a lot nicer, but I would prefer not to have to hand remove the non-number characters by hand since there are thousands of data points. what I could do to get it to just be longitude and latitude in 'number number' format?
