I am interested in the following problem: given a string (pattern) find a regexp which match this pattern.
I will need this for a developing of an idea 'pattern based filtration'.
I have a requirement to list files using find command My folder contains below list of files with out extention.I have a requirement to exclude only ABC.123.* type files and list others. Even though files having MNO contains this pattern i should not exclude. Even if file ends with .txt or .doc it should not be excluded. That is ABC.123.1234.txt should not be excluded.But I am not getting what is required. Can any one please let me know if I am doing wrong any where. As per my requirement I cannot use grep, -regex, or -regex attributes to find command.

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two table files with x (1st column) ,y (2nd column) coordinates and intensity (3rd column).

I have to enhance the behaviour of a backup script written in perl. I don't need to change it, what I need to do is to create a bash script that does some checks like file name and file size, execute the backup script then check if the backup files match the original files.Here's how I try to do it:
- read the files from the original files folder
- store them in an array
- search in the array the files that have a specific file extension
- store the file names that match the search pattern (I know the backup script skips some files so I can hardcode the search pattern)
- run the backup script
- read the files from the backup folder
- store them in an array
- compare the original files name and size stored in an array with those from the backup folder
- send a report email
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

Here is what I would like to pursue: I would aim to create a USB drive which a system can boot from if needed. However, this system would not be the generic Lucid 10.04 iso, it would have specific packages that my current system has. Also, it would start up and run with my current system settings if possible.
I did look into Reconstructor, but it doesn't appear that that would have the capibility of changing the default settings to match my current system's settings. Also, it looked like there wasn't a way to upload a list of current packages of my system (I would have to manually select each package, taking quite a while). So is there any way to make a bootable USB matching my current system? Or is reconstructor the closest thing to that kind of customiz-ability?

To search a string pattern in all files in a directory and subdirectories, I am using;

In a bash-script, only the case if a regular expression does not match is relevant.herefore I used the exclamation mark !. But where to place it?
These two work fine, but are they equivalent?
Code: if ! [[ $abc =~ $pattern ]]; then or
Code: if [[ ! $abc =~ $pattern ]]; then Where is the ! placed more correct?
I am trying to check if the 9th character in a file on each line is a v and if so, then print the first word. I've tried a number of variations and am stuck !If it's possible to also check if character position 1 begins with a s in the same awk, that would make it cleaner instead of using egrep.
egrep '^s' file | nawk '{virtual=substr($0,9,1); if ($virtual=="v") {printf "%s", $1}}'
nawk: illegal field $(e)
input record number 1
source line number 1
I am struggling to understand why nawk matches values that are either 1 or 2 digits in length, but not 100 (3 digits).
Am I missing something obvious ? Should I use substr to remove the % ?
I am sure it's something to do with character and string matching behaviour with nawk.

Is there a way, preferably in python or BASH, to rename files from a list? for instance, track1.mp3, track2.mp3 should be renamed to the names stored in a file listing song names. I have tried to loop a variable through directory listing and renamed them, only to find that filenames with spaces can't be assigned to a variable as a whole. To solve the problem above, I have tried the read command in BASH, which enables the program reading line by line from a list. However, It was failed to pipe the results from directory listing to the read command.
