Programming :: BASH Read Text List Zip Files Into A Single Archive?

Jul 22, 2010

AKA "zipping on the fly .. the slow-as-molasses way." The list includes full pathnames to each file, and they're all in subfolders of the same parent folder (which, unfortunately, is not the root folder of the drive or system on which the files reside). A cleaned-up and radio-ready portion of the list looks like

Quote:

.../taiga/ahqr-va-choyvp/bv0884-073.jpg
.../taiga/ahqr-va-choyvp/bv2635-073.jpg
.../taiga/ahqr-va-choyvp/bv3067-175.jpg

[code]....

What I'd like to be able to do is zip all the files in the list into a single archive, to avoid the step of having to copy them to the same location (presumably another folder on the HD) and then zip that folder. I'm more inclined to make provisions about extracting to a single folder at some other time. Is this possible in BASH, or would I have to consider a faster, more robust scripting language such as python or perl?

Programming :: Parsing Text Files In Bash / Cant Seem To Read The Array Back?

May 29, 2011

PI'm trying to write a script to list all open ports in the MINIUNPND chain in iptables and use the procotol, port and destination ip to open ports on another router using upnpc.Here is the output of iptables -L MINIUPNPD

Code:
>iptables -L MINIUPNPD
Chain MINIUPNPD (1 references)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere 192.168.3.124 tcp dpt:19955
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere 192.168.3.124 tcp dpt:20054
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere 192.168.3.130 udp dpt:10654
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere 192.168.3.121 tcp dpt:29955
code....

No matter what i do i cant seem to remove the first 4 characters from the MYPROT array to leave only the digits. Also i cant seem to read the array back???

I thought it would simply be a loop reading each line and passing the fields in variables, executing upnpc commands i need then moving to the next line of the file until it reached the EOF.

Programming :: (BASH) How To Read Multiple Lines From Text File

Mar 11, 2011

For example, I have a text file with data which lists numerical values from two separate individuals

Code:
Person A
100
200
300
400
500
600
700
800
900
1000
1100
1200

Person B
1200
1100
1000
900
800
700
600
500
400
300
200
100

How would I go about reading the values for each Person, then being able to perform mathematical equations for each Person (finding the sum for example)?

General :: Read A Text File And Ftp Files Using Bash W/out Leaving The Ftp Prompt

Oct 9, 2009

I have a script almost working except for 1 thing. What I'm trying to do is read a file that has the files that need to be FTP'd using a bash script. I have everything working except the reading of the file. It works outside of the ftp script I've wrote but once I put it in the FTP script it doesn't.

Here's the Script:

#Here's where the problem is that I know of

I've been playing w/ the exclamation points to see if that could be the problem, but so far no luck.

I am an uploader to a various hosts, so this tiny script me a lot. I make a rar archive and split files with 100mb. I could get 3-4 or even 76 parts of rar files and it would take me some time to paste all these urls to remote upload function of filehosting sites. For example:

Code:

total 358784

Programming :: Read Entire Text Files Into C++?

Sep 15, 2010

im making a program (for the heck of it) that rewrites it code everytime it is run.(my ambition is to turn it into my c++ teacher and watch her be confuzled as to why she cant read my code and why it does weird things) Ive just started c++ programming, and managed to rewrite a program so that when it is run a second time, it says hello world. My problem is that I can only input the file as a single string. What I need to do is to be able to input the entire file into the c++ program, as a single object and then ifstream it out with the destination as the source code.

Also, it would help alot if there was someway to write additional lines to an existing text file instead of overwriting what is already there. That way, every time my c++ runs and rebuilds itself, it adds another couple of lines of code to a txt file and when the final iteration is complete, it loads a text file that was created by the program and uses it to program itself. I heard there is some sort of spawn command, can it be used to open up notepad and write to it? it would be awsome if my various programs could open different notepads with various messages

Programming :: Bash: Populate A List Of Arbitrarily Named Files?

Mar 14, 2010

How to build a list of files under a directory that may have any permissible characters in the name, that is anything except NUL? The only possible (?) bash data structure to contain a list of such names is an array because NUL cannot be used as a list item separator so no X-separated list can safely be used; there is no "X" that might not be part of a file name. OK -- but how to populate such an array? Here's what I've tried.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# Set up test files
dir=$(mktemp -d "/tmp/${0##*/}.XXXXXX")
touch $dir/foo $dir/bar

Programming :: Bash Text To Variable Accessing Individual Text Lines?

May 2, 2010

i am on processing text tasks And i found that if you assign a text to a variable is chomp'ed automatically the newline

Code:

variable=$(cat file.txt)

The problem is i can only access the items/lines using:

Code:

for line in $variable
do
echo $line
# Other commands
done

how do i convert this to an indexed array. More importantly, how do i get access to individual $line[0], ..., $line[n] Another thing, if the file.txt, has lines with spaces it is a mess using the for...in..., but echoing prints line by line...o_0

Programming :: Bash Ctrl+c Tarp And Bash Read With Timeout?

Jan 24, 2010

simple bash code:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
trap "echo 'you got me'" SIGINT SIGTERM # to trap ctrl+c
echo "Press ctrl+c during 5 sec loop"
for ((i=0;i<5;i++)); do

[Code]...

How come code behaves normally and stops when ctrl+c signal is caught and resumes, but after I use at least one timeout read in the code it looks like, if signal is caught again it doesn't pause the execution but skips the loop. If you remove -t (timeout) option from the read, both loops look the same!

General :: Write A Bash Script That Will Read The Word From The Text File?

Jun 10, 2011

I have a text file that contains a single word and I want to write a bash script that will read the word from the text file... The following is my incorrect attempt, as it assigns the name of the textfile to the variable as opposed to the word stored within the textfile:(assume I have a text file value.txt that has its contents a single word, say wordone)

Code:
#!/bin/sh
for f in value.txt
do
echo $f
done

so the output of the above script is value.txt, however I want it to be wordone.to summarise: how do I assign the value of the word contained within a textfile to a variable?

Software :: Making A Bash Script To Read In Different Files And Rename Output Files?

May 7, 2009

Until now i haven't had to dabble with bash scripts.

I have a program that reads in data files. These are named datafile01_R, datafile01_G, datafile01_B, they then increment, so datafile02_R etc i have about 600 of these. the program reads in 3 data sets at a time from each run, so files_01 r, g, and b.

The program then does its magic, and outputs about 40 different files, depending on the file, they gone to folders named R, G, B, psa, or tracking.

The program itself has configuration files to say where the files should gone when analyzed, there is also the config files that reads in the data sets.

At the moment i have to run one set of data, then go in and manually change the input file location, and run again. But, doing this, even though a different data set, the new set overwrites the old set in one of the output folders. So i need a way to increment the output filenames after they are written and before the program is run again with the new data set.

Programming :: Create Cvs From List Text File

Dec 21, 2010

I have a file with 5000 lines. it is a list of books authors, series and titles. all lines start with the author names, than there is a dash (-) than the series name, a dash again and the title of the book.

The problem I encounter is that sometime there is a series, sometime not, and as I try to enter this list in a database, I wanted to create a cvs file to import into mysql.

ex:

The best would be to be able to add in the second line, a "space dash space" just after the author name, but how to make sure it does not do it to the first line as well.

If I could separate all line with 2 dash, (grep ?) then I would be able to do a simple replace, and change the single dash into two.

Programming :: Parse Text For Host List?

compute-2-1.local 2 all.q@compute-1-1.local UNDEFINED

The important bits are hostname(ex compute-1-1) and number of cpus to use(ex 2). And for this program, it wants them in this form, a shell variable: HOSTLIST=hostname:cpus=X hostname:cpus=X .... I've tried this script, but it doesn't work
