Programming :: Delete Line In File Matching String?
Jan 26, 2010
Quote:Originally Posted by topcatI would like to know how i can write a shell script to delete a line if a particular pattern exists?E.g. I have a text file with multiple lines. Say 1000s. in the following pattern.
If the patternusername@email.com exists then the line "username@email.com:149.0.3.4:1 should be deleted from the file.I have a very similar question but I need to delete one line in a file which matches one very precise instance of a string only. Let's assume I have a file composed of thousands of lines and let's call the file chap-secrets. Let's take the following sample entries:
Code:
#USERNAME SERVER PASSWORD IP
pp pptpd blahblah *
I have a question about sed programming, actually a one-liner for which I cannot find a solution, right now. I need to delete a line matching a specific pattern only if it is the last line. In practice, I would put together the following:
I need to find a string in a file ... then delete the line it is on, as well as the next 6 lines. Or, delete the line the string is on and all subsequent lines until the search finds the character "["
example:
filename = test.txt
contents: [foo] test>test test>test test>test
[Code]....
so, in this example. I'd like to search the file for string 'foo' and delete all lines from that line until [bar] (not deleting the line with [bar])
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 a very large data file, with 3 numbers in each line, ex. 3 4 5 ; 6 7 8.I want to add two numbers (0 and 1) at the end of every line, and a string at the beginning of the line. Does anyone know a efficient way to do so?
I've written a script to parse a file and print each line that ends with matching pattern, if the next line is blank. The pattern lines are the result of md5sum $i|sed 's/path///g' so that only md5 and filename appear. Here's what I'm using.
Quote: for fline in `sed -n '/.*.ext$/p' file1` do if [ "`sed -n -e '/'"$fline"'/ {n; p;}' file1`" == "" ] then echo ""$fline" has no info" >>file2 fi done [Code]....
I would like to delete a single line from a file that contains many lines passing through the same values as the two parameters. Again, I would like to delete a single line and not all those that contain parameters. How can I make bash?
now i want to delete the line which first column content is 1. so, if i pass the parametere 1 to function delete_row. is should remove the first row as
I've been trying to understand pthread in C a little better. So I made a simple program that takes in a string from the command line and creates a thread to print the string. I've looked online and copied the basic concepts but there are something things I'm confused about. The programs works just fine, but I have questions. Here's what I have so far.
[Code]....
One thing I'd like to know is why the 3rd argument in the pthread_create function which is my SendMessage function needs to be typecasted to a void pointer and then send the address of the function. Also as for the 4th argument, I would see typecasting to void pointer in some of the pthread examples I saw online, but in my case I'm passing a char pointer, would this be correct? In which case would I ever want to pass a void pointer?
Do I need a pthread_exit(NULL) in my main and in the SendMessage function? If so, why? I added the sleep() function so that I could let the pthread_exit function in my SendMessage function execute first. I simply saw that the online examples on pthread had pthread_exit() in both locations.
I want to list all the files that don't have a copy with the same filename with -1 somewhere in it. So, in the example above, the results would be 3.png.
NB: the file and its copy with "-1" in it will be the same filesize, if that helps.
I have the following string 1524)), I want to get rid of the parentheses. I have tried SED and AWK without success. The last I tried was: echo "1526))" | sed 's/)).*$//'
These must a be a question you received a lot, but I couldn't find a similar thread! It's a simple question. I need to delete a specific string from a file. For example the specific numbers "3456" from a file. I've tried with the tr comand, using Code: tr -d '3456' file, but it also deleted whichever ocurrence of 3,4,5,6 from my file. Should I use a regular expression?
I have to delete a certain line of text from the a textfile via ubuntu's shell scripting.I have done research, and it seems that most people advocate the usage of sed /d option. sed makes does not edit the text file. Hence, most options I discovered involved the use of a temporary variable/textfile and then overwriting the old file with the temporary new file. Is there anyway whereby I can bypass the use of temporary storage containers? I hope there is any magical combination of commands to edit the file directly.
I'm trying sed and was able to put a tag on the end of the line

I'm thinking of I redirect my first sed command to a file and then use sed again to put <group> at the beginning of the line. My problem is how to put <group> to all beginning of the string.
I have two table files with x (1st column) ,y (2nd column) coordinates and intensity (3rd column). I need to match these two tables and divide the intensities at the consecutive coordinates on the 3rd column. The problem is the size of the tables are not same and I want to ignore the lines if they are not in one of the other file.
I want to append a variable string to the end of a specific line. not like append the same string to each line. like in my file i have 4 columns, i want to add a string in 5th column in some fixed row.
I am running Linux and I have some basic console knowledge but my current problem is quite difficult and I dont know how to achieve this. I want/need to rename everything within a folder that matches a given string.
By everything I mean: folders/files content within a file content in hidden files
Basically I want to refactor a Java-project. Sure, I could use Eclipse to handle the replacing, but this leaves out the folders or resources outside of my workspace. I was thinking of a script that could do the job for me but this seems rather tricky. For instance when it comes to folder-/file-rename I want to replace only the part of the name that matches my string, the rest should remain untouched.
Inside a loop i'm populating a string variable. Because csh doesn't have very good support for arrays I thought of doing this. I want to add a new line character to the end of the concatenation each time the loop iterates. Then at the end print this variable out.
I tried " and some resources said it was just a "". Neither work. What am I doing wrong?
