Thanks - I see the colon commands now. I've been handed a .csv which contains information on each line that would be extremely useful for grepping. Unfortunately, some cells contain carriage...

How can I find a list of shortcut commands I can execute within vi using the % indicator?

For example, I can vi a file, press colon, and then type "%s/\r//g" to remove all instances of a carriage...

Yep, did look in there but didn't see anything that matched "getent" or "id"...I'm assuming I'll eventually have to look at the source code for getent and see where it calls nsswitch.conf.

Edit: I...

I'm typing "id <user's id>" and its returning a different UID that what is defined in our administration system. Where does id / getent query and where is it configured to query? I'm guessing it...

It works.Yeah of course - it had to be something ridiculous like that. Just like when I had an sftp script starting with:
/usr/bin/sftp $SERVER << EOL

And godforbid I didn't put the...

Thanks - as previously stated I'm familiar w/ elif but I'm still receiving syntax errors. I believe I have followed as you have stated by placing the condition in single parenthesis and the code in...

I'm having a problem pulling UID's from data. The data outputs a user's UID in one of three ways:
1. Error User user_name already assigned with <UID>
2. Success <UID> reserved for user_name
3. <a...

ALOM appears to be outside of my scope - not sure that I have console access. But thank you anyway.

As for the invoice - it's a little more complicated than that but I think this will be helpful....

I recently had a vendor hot-swap a faulty hard drive on my system. The fault was determined before there were any noticeable errors with regular operation on the user end. The vendor claims to have...

I figured it out before I was able to consider some of your suggestions :) I grep the destination file to see if the GID already exists in the file that I store that in a variable. If that variable...

I have thousands of users assigned various roles. The role header defines the GID that they should have. If I can get all the GID information into /etc/group format I can upload the output file and...

The sed command you listed does produce some slashes between the text of the input used for my script but for some reason I am now receiving the desired output. I didn't make a backup of my script...

I'm not sure yet - I took a break from racking my brain over that and then I was paged for work. I'm catching up on Law & Order right now - i'll let you know in the morning. In the meantime thank...

This is really weird...I modified my sed expression:[code]for i in $(cat txt)
do
echo $i | sed 's/|/ /g;s/ SEARCHTERM$//g;s/ /\r\n/g;/^[[:space:]]*$/ d;/^$/d'
done[/code
I tried adding the -E but...

I'm still getting blank lines :( I tried adding it at the end of my sed statement as well as piping it into another sed expression. Removed the "s" - still blank lines.

In my bash script I want to echo lines in a file and ensure no blank lines are echoed:for i in $(cat txt)
do
echo $i | sed 's/|/ /g;s/ SEARCHTERM$//g;s/ /\r\n/g;s/^$/d'
done

Keep in mind this...

Thanks - this appears to be what I need however I'm not receiving the desired output. I've read the man page and googled a bit but all examples I see are with two files that either have 2 fileds or...

One file is standard /etc/passwd entries: user1:1:1:user1's comment field:/home/user1:/bin/ksh
user2:2:2:user2's comment field:/home/user2:/bin/ksh
user3:3:3:user3's comment...

If the lines are all the same length and can be sorted into columns then you could use cut to print only the three columns.

Is there a way to use the "paste" command to combine files and have each line key off of a column? All this time I've been pasting files together and foolishly not checking the line count of each...

We use various distros - Linux, AIX, Solaris, and HP-UX. Uname -a does not list the distro (for Linux). It just identifies it as Linux.

I was wondering if there was a way to set resource usage per user. For example, if I use "grep -f <file1> <file2>" and the two files are very big it consumes a lot of resources. Onetime someone...

Well, I just wasn't sure what the purpose of the "getline" function was compared to the use of redirection. I'm still googling and re-reading the man page at the moment.

Just a quick note - it is a central management system called KeON but it's split into security domains: development, testing, production, and I dunno how to describe the fourth one. All the...

So far this works for me - still testing. I'm not familiar w/ using arrays or built-in awk variables but I've been googling and will eventually practise to become more knowledgeable. I've made a...
