grep "ALPHANUMERIC.*16"should work as long as there is no other 16 to the right of "ALPHANUMERIC". It will give incorrect output if there is the possibility of a line like:

ALPHANUMERIC 10 BLAH...

Thanks. After I posted and was "finalizing" the script I noticed the missing last letter, which I solved by adding 1 to the length:
LEN=$((${#1} + 1))I also added the quotes out of habit. I didn't...

Thanks! Actually, the expansion didn't work correctly when trying offsets but I found a way around with expr substr. All 3 would probably work with a little changing for my particular need, but this...

A file contains: abcdef
I need : a b c d e f

It's easy with sed
sed 's/./& /g'but this is embedded linux that doesn't have sed/awk. The shell is unknown but it's bashlike. Parameter expansion...

Neither sort will work if you get more than 9 files unless the single digit numbers have a 0 before their number (01... 09, etc)

(examples)
# touch file{1,2,5,10,15,20}.log
# ls *.log| sort -u |...

Thanks guys. Just getting around to checking up on this. They both work.

I swear, every time I think I know a little awk, I look at something like this and it looks like Greek. I think I get it,...

The file contains one line of text followed by a number. I want to take the number X at the end, take it out and display the last X words. X is the key telling me how many words from the end that I...

If all account numbers consist of only numbers (no letters) and are 11 digits long and there are no other numbers that are 11 digits long...
grep -E -o -w [0-9]{11} file

For what it's worth, I think the error in this attempt was simply that tr -d'\n' needs a space after the d.
(my ls -ltr only gives 8 columns so im using awk '{print $8}' )

# ls -ltr *.xls | awk...

Scrutinizer's is better, but tr -d '\n' is often handy to know.
# ping -c 1 google.com | grep 'PING' | cut -d'(' -f2 | cut -d')' -f1 | tr -d '\n'

grep: 0652-033 is a "file not found" error. Have you checked that /sharedapps/etlusr/etl/logs/logftp_mov_03082010061856.log exists? I don't know sql, is it creating the file with it's output? Maybe...

Are you getting an error?

Can you just check the time the files were last modified and sound the alarm if they haven't changed in 4 minutes? That should be simpler.

I wanted to see if I could do this with wc -l and basic...

tr '_' ' ' | egrep -w -o [A-Z]{4}[0-9]{4}Almost one command but I had to use tr first to get rid of the underscore because it's seen as part of the word in the first line. Darn. What it does is grep...

"$I" is just the filenames so this is actually being piped to bc:UL_LAT+/60+/3600which is why reading down the right side of the errors gives you the filenames, minus the A, which it can apparently...

sed 's/^M$//'Sed is almost the same and you also need to type ctrl+v and ctrl+m or it won't work.

Why not just use "killall runflow"?

edit: or pgrep
pgrep runflow | xargs kill

for i in $(ls); do mv $i "3nm${i:10:7}"; done

You're definitely better off learning the long way, but here's a shorty...tee file.a.b.{A,B,C,D}.r < file.a.b.c-d.rOr, same thing but slightly longer and easier to understand:
cat file.a.b.c-d.r |...

That gives me both files, probably because they both have at least 9 digits. egrep (or grep -E, same thing) is made for this.
# echo 'temp.0000000001.data
temp.000000001.data
temp.000001.data' |...

I cant test it now but I used this recently and I don't think >> redirection will work with tee if you want screen output. To append to the file instead of overwriting it, use tee -a.

Overwrite...

#! /bin/sh
unpipe=$(tr '|' ' ' < file2)
function foo {
while read line; do echo "${line}${1}"; shift; done < file1
}

Cant test it right now but this should work:
while read line; do line2=${line// /}; echo ${#line2}; done < file

Edit: heres a test
$ echo "123 45 678 90" | while read line ; do line=${line// /};...

You can use the grep (or egrep) -B argument to to look one line above the search string and only search for <termType>Second". The downside is that you get the "<termType>Second</termType>" line and...

Whenever I post a script on my blog and include my email address, I obfuscate it with the tr command to thwart spambots. It could be used here too. If the pass was LinuxRules you could use...
