Programming :: Sort Command Output Differs When Encounters?

Mar 18, 2010

Here is what I am doing I have a file, a.txt for example, with following contents:

Code:
coreutils install
cpio install
cpp install
cpp-4.3 install
dbus install

[Code]...

So it seems like the sorting algo. for dpkg --get-selections is different than sorting algo. of 'sort' command when it encounters "-" (hyphen). How can I sort the original file (a.txt) in such a way that it produces the output file ,b.txt, exactly the same.

Programming :: SORT Command Versus Unix SORT

May 4, 2010

We switched from unix to linux and we have an old report that extracted data from a database, output to an ascii file and then sorted the results in the file based on different arguments. The report now blows up when it runs,and I can only guess it is because the options for sort on linux differ slightly from unix.For example, here is one of the commands issued from within the report app that ran on the old unix box:

if sort-sequence = "descending" then
'sort -t~" -f +3.0f -4.0 +5.0r -6.0 -f '
else
'sort -t~" +3.0f -4.0 +1.0f -2.0 -f'

I will eventually rewrite the report to store the data in a local table, but I can simply adjust the options to suit the requirments of linux. Basically, I need to know if this can be a quick fix for the short term.

Programming :: Perl Script Output Can't Be Redirected To A File / Sort It?

Feb 18, 2010

The perl script I wrote works fine if I print the result to screen
x0_amber.pl 1 1000 0 5

But whenever I want to output to a file with
x0_amber.pl 1 1000 0 5 > x0_out

it never really prints out to the file.

It worked earlier, but I was playing with my PATH lately, I don't know if it's related to that

Programming :: Diverting IDL Output To The Command Line?

Jul 14, 2010

I'm troubleshooting a batch of scripts I'm modifying, including an IDL script called by a .csh script. the IDL scripts were provided to me by a coworker and my .csh script is intended to automate a lengthy set of extremely tedious and time consuming processing tasks.

I am currently in the process of debugging, and can't get the IDL to print any messages other than critical failures to the screen. Is there any easy way to redirect the stdout to either a logfile or the screen?

Programming :: Using Bash Command To Execute Output Of Awk?

Mar 24, 2011

I am trying to process a column separated data file, with a few bash command. For example, I have

Code:

file1 aaaa yes
file2 aaaa no
file3 bbbb yes

Let say I want to create new file with the output of first column and do something else with the output of 3rd column. Of course there are many ways to process this data file, but I wish to know by using awk, how could I do it. I'm trying:

Code:

awk '{system("touch $1")}' datafile

but the shell command will not able to get the awk '$1' output. How do I get this done ? And for another question, if the data file contains the variable name of a shell variable, how could I make use of it during a awk output ? For example I have a datafile1:

Code:

server1 yes
server2 no

And in another server declaration data file, I got this datafile2:

Code:

server1=xxx1
server2=yyy1

And in my awk script, I want to achieve something like (the syntax is definitely wrong, just to demonstrate what I assume it will like):

Programming :: Receive Command Output And Store It To A Variable?

Apr 3, 2010

Suppose I want to account number of files beginning with abc , I can use "ls 'abc* | grep abc | wc -l", this will return me a number.
I want to store this number in a variable, say var1, so I tried
1. "ls 'abc* | grep abc | wc -l |read var1", but this didn't work as var1 has no value somehow.
2. var1='ls 'abc* | grep abc | wc -l', this just assign the entire string "ls 'abc* | grep abc | wc -l" to var1, which is not I wanted.

I don't want to store the value to a temporary file and then read the value from that file. I think there should be a direct way to get the value, but don't know how. I know in tcsh, one can just use set var1='ls 'abc* | grep abc | wc -l', but it also doesn't work in bash. Can anyone give any clue about this?

Programming :: Find Command With Standard Error Output And Mail Error File

Nov 11, 2010

We make everyday a DB Mysql backup on Linux redhat Enterprise. We are using a bash shell script (and putting it in the crontab) to execute it automatically everyday. We added a line to this script telling, once the backup has completed, to find old backup files (stored on hard disk after each backup) older than x days to remove them. We use the find command (search for file type) with the mtime option and in combination with rm command. Everything runs ok but we also want to add some new code to the same line: If find command cannot find anything or fails, for example if it cannot delete file or fails, send the error message (standard error output) to an error file (like error000001 and increasing) and mail the errorxxxx file to an email address for example to admin@companyname.com. What would be the code for this issue to add it to our find command in the same bash shell script??

Programming :: Storing Output Of "time" Command To A Variable

Jan 21, 2011

In my script, I need to get execution time of a command (say 'ls') in mili seconds level. For this i tried using "time" command to retrieve the total execution time in milli seconds. But, the problem is that, how to save the output of time command in a variable. The format of the command is like "time ls -R /opt" Going further, the o/p of 'time' command is:

real 0m0.003s
user 0m0.004s
sys 0m0.000s

Here, in my script, I would like to use only middle line "user 0m0.004s" saved to the variable but unable to find out the way.
