• Replacing every 10th pipe with new line in unix

  - by user327958

  Lets say I have fields: name, number, id I have a data file: name1|number1|id1|name2|number2|id2...etc I want to replace every 3rd pipe with a new line or '\n' so I get: name1|number1|id1 name2|number2|id2 I'm having no luck with awk or sed. I've tried the following, and variations of: awk '/"\|"/{c++;if(c==10){sub("\|","\n");c=0}}1' inputfile.txt sed 's/"|"/"\n"/2' inputfile.txt It tells me awk: syntax error near line 1 awk: illegal statement near line 1 awk: syntax error near line 1 awk: bailing out near line 1 Any help is greatly appreciated! EDIT: Thank you!

• How to check there are no html files in current directory?

  - by kev

  I have a script which will download html files into current directory. Then it'll generate a report based on these html files. At last, it'll delete all these html files. So, when I run this script, I want to make sure there is no html files in current dir. This is what I got: if ls *.html >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo 'clear HTML files first' exit fi Is there any easy way to check?

• What is a good way to get back to the command prompt discarding STDOUT and STDERR

  - by elementz

  I often launch applications from the cli via e.g. command & to immediately get back to the prompt back. The downside of this is, that I still get STDOUT and STDERR. So I use command &> /dev/null to discard those outputs. This can get quite a chore, when having to write this often during a day. So my question is, is there a better (read shorter) way to discard of STDOUT and STDERR when not needed? What could be done? write a wrapper script to launch applications? What would be an elegant way to do this?

• Is \d equal to [0-9] in sed?

  - by user3872279

  7 00:00:30,008 --> 00:00:30,066 by line 8 00:00:31,038 --> 00:00:34,050 or later in the nineteen seventies it was usually a 9 00:00:34,005 --> 00:00:38,634^M video consul but the council was not capable of displaying arbitrate graphics 10 The above lines is in a file named 2.txt. I wanna the lines which doesn't start with number. In practice, sed -i '/^[0-9]+/d' 2.txt works good. However, sed -i '/^\d+/d' 2.txt doesnot. The \d shouldn't be equal to [0-9] in regex?

• How to run script from root as another user (with user PATH)

  - by Sandra

  I would like to have these commands run as the ss user from root mkdir bin cp -r /opt/gitolite . gitolite/install -ln gitolite setup -pk ss.pub mkdir -p .gitolite/hooks/common ln -s /opt/pre-receive .gitolite/hooks/common/ so everything is executed in /home/ss. The 4th line requires $HOME/bin as you can see from the 3rd line. The only way I can get it to work is by adding su -c "command" ss to each line, which is not a nice hack. This is an extension to my previous question, where I wasn't precise enough. Question How do I run all these commands as a script in a practical way?

• what TERM to use to get rid of color escape codes?

  - by slivu

  Is there a way to get rid of escape codes in terminal output? Say even if the script are sending that codes they are ignored by terminal and text displayed as is, without colors, bolds etc. I need to display terminal output on a HTML page. For now i'm using javascript to remove escape codes, but it becomes clunky cause i receive output by chars, and have to wait until all content received then update it, leading in weird effects.

• how to start growl via the command line

  - by adam n

  I have a bash script that uses growlnotify to send notifications. However, growlnotify doesn't work if Growl isn't already running, and it won't auto start Growl if it needs it, either. So I want to be able to check if Growl is running, and then start it if it isn't. I'm thinking of doing something like: g=$(ps -e | grep Growl | grep -v grep) if [ -z "$g" ] # Growl isn't running then # (start Growl) fi How would I start Growl via the command line?

• Temporary operation in a temporary directory in shell script

  - by jhs

  I need a fresh temporary directory to do some work in a shell script. When the work is done (or if I kill the job midway), I want the script to change back to the old working directory and wipe out the temporary one. In Ruby, it might look like this: require 'tmpdir' Dir.mktmpdir 'my_build' do |temp_dir| puts "Temporary workspace is #{temp_dir}" do_some_stuff(temp_dir) end puts "Temporary directory already deleted" What would be the best bang for the buck to do that in a Bash script? I want to trap

  - by jzuniga

  I need to recursively remove unnecessary files from a svn repository and i have the following batch file to do this: @echo on del /s ~*.* del /s *.~* del /s Thumbs.db However, this is also deleting the entries under the .svn/ subfolders. Is there any way to prevent this commands from being executed under the .svn/ folders so that it doesn't mess things up? Thanks in advance! EDIT: A solution using Bash (cygwin) would also work for me since i just need to do this once.
