Programming :: Remove Specific Lines From File

Jan 21, 2011

I'm trying to come up with ideas for a simple way to strip a specific "entry" from a text file.I know tools like sed and perl can remove specific lines from a file but I haven't been able to come up with an elegant way to do my group of lines.In my file, the first "Location" line and the "SVNPath" line should be unique every time... but are they enough to strip out the whole set of the group plus the trailing one line of white space separating each group? Add to this, my file will grow as new entries are added (always appended to the end) but new entries will have the same formatting.

Programming :: Script To Remove Lines In A File With More Than "x" Instances Of Any Character ?

Oct 4, 2010

I'm looking for a script (bash, python, perl etc) or even a one liner (sed, awk etc) that can take a set of files and remove any line that has more than "x" instances of any character (case sensitive). I have been doing a lot of searching and can only come up with examples of how to remove blank lines, lines that start with a certain character or lines that contain a certain string. This will be used on a system running a Kubuntu derivative.

As a very poor and basic example, I would like to take files that contain lines like:

Code:

And end up with the files only containing the lines:

Code:

If I tell the script that 2 is the maximun number of times any character can appear in any line.

I know this must be possible, but for the life of me I cannot find even an example that will lead me in the right direction or better yet a piece of code I can use.

Ubuntu :: Remove Duplicate Lines From A Text File?

Dec 16, 2010

Contained within each of these 67 text files is about 1 million urls. Yes. I have 67 text files that contain 1 million lines of urls each. I am sure I am swimming in duplicates. I tried opening one text file and clicking sort ----->remove duplicates. Now Gedit is not responding my processor is maxed out to 100% and I think I am finally ready to delve into some command line code. Can anyone give me idiot proof instructions on how to sort the duplicates out of each one of these 67 text files? How about no duplicates across all 67?

Programming :: Sed - Save Output To File With Filename From Content Of Another File?

Feb 28, 2011

My employer issues pdf files with everyones work schedules. I copy the content and save it as plain text in a file called unformatted (hope to be able to automate this step someday). Im working on a SED script that reduces unformatted to only display what I want to see and saves the result in a file Iïve named formatted. After that I have to manually copy formatted and save it with that days date as a filename e.g. 2011-02-25 or whatever day is scheduled in the pdf, for use on a mobile device (Nokia N900). I noticed that the date occurs on certain lines in the file so I added a line like:

sed -n 's/^Date: (201[1-9])/([0-1][0-9])/([0-3][0-9]).*/1-2-3/p' < unformatted >theDate
That creates a file theDate with the date in it that I wish to use as the filename for this particular instance. So I would like to skip the file formatted all together and have the sed- script write to a new file using the content of the Date as a filename, but how do I make that happen? And of course it would be more elegant if I could skip the intermediate theDate file as well.

Apr 14, 2010

i have a big file of random numbers i generated at some point in time, after working with it with different things(how fun that was)... i want to remove duplicate lines and i'm not sure i'm doing this right

heres the command

Code:
sort random.txt | uniq -u > rand-shorter.txt

Programming :: Splitting A File Based On The Values Read From An Input File?

Jul 27, 2010

I am splitting a file based on the values read from an input file. The below one is the script.

1)How do I add the header which is present in the original file to the new split files created?(For eg. pharmacyf conatins header as table column names. The new files created (ODS.POS.$pharmacyid.$tablename.$CURRENT_DATE.dat) are without the header).

2) Also the script is creating 0 byte files for the pharmacyids which are not available in the intial file? Can this be avoided?

for pharmacyf in *
do
tablename=`echo $pharmacyf |cut -f4 -d'.' `
while read pharmacyid
do
grep -w $pharmacyid $pharmacyf >> $OUT/ODS.POS.$pharmacyid.$tablename.$CURRENT_DATE.dat
done< inputfile
done

Programming :: How To Add Characters And Lines To File

Jan 29, 2011

For example, I have a file called "file" like this one:
type=strongsubj len=1 word=absolve pos=verb stemmed=y priorpolarity=positive
type=strongsubj len=1 word=unique pos=adj stemmed=n priorpolarity=neutral
type=strongsubj len=1 word=absolutely pos=adj stemmed=n priorpolarity=neutral
type=weaksubj len=1 word=taking pos=verb stemmed=y priorpolarity=positive
type=weaksubj len=1 word=friend pos=noun stemmed=n priorpolarity=positive
type=weaksubj len=1 word=usually pos=adverb stemmed=n priorpolarity=positive
type=strongsubj len=1 word=purecolor pos=anypos stemmed=n priorpolarity=negative
type=strongsubj len=1 word=accusingly pos=anypos stemmed=n priorpolarity=negative

I want to add the plural for the noun, for example if find this line:
type=weaksubj len=1 word=friend pos=noun stemmed=n priorpolarity=positive
will add one more line :
type=weaksubj len=1 word=friends pos=noun stemmed=n priorpolarity=positive
where we add "s" for the word friend
I did try to do like that:
<code>
cat file | while read LINE ; do

set -- ${line}
if [[ "${4#pos1=}" == "noun" ]];then
#I tried this line but it doesn't work properly:
v3==$(echo $line |sed 's/$3/$s') #I want to find the third word "word=friend" in that line and add "s" after that word
# I don't know what command to add this new line "$v3" to the file ???
done
</code>
