Hey Alister!
I don't really know sed very well, but let me see if I can figure this out. I think it's worth pointing out that I have no background with this stuff. I'm just learning on my own, in my...

Grep words with X doubles only
Hi!
I'm trying to figure out how to find words with X number of doubles, only. I'm searching a dictionary, (one word per line). For instance, if you want to find words containing only one pair of...

Yes, you have mentioned this to me. ; ) Now, obviously you know more about it than I do, but in my defense let me just say that the little find/replace thing I learned, (or thought I had), appears...

I'm already working with duplicate files, so backups are not an issue.

You're absolutely right - I don't understand perl. And many other things, as well. But I learned to do a simple find/replace...

Perl find & replace - what am I doing wrong?
Hi!
I have a directory full of .plist type files from which I need to delete a line. Not every file contains the line, but of course I'd like to do it recursively. The line which I want to delete...

Oh, believe me, I've tried that. ; ) And I have come up with some dictionary type wordlists, but nothing as comprehensive and verifiable as a Webster's, or an Oxford. And I've had to slog through...

Question About Posting
A couple of questions, actually. I wanted to ask the community where I might find a large, up-to-date dictionary wordlist. I figure that this is a likely place to find someone with this answer. I'm...

Aha! Yes, it works if you "cap off" the ends with a $

grep -E ".*f.{1,2}$|.*f.{3}d$"

I forgot you could do that. I was trying to figure out a way to do it with a lookaround somehow. Thanks!

Scrabble Regex Help
Hi!
I use an and grep to play Scrabble and other word games because it helps me practice regexes, or, as my friends would say, because I'm a cheater.
Anyway, I'm trying to work out how to write a...

It works, of course, but I would've thought the asterisk modifier, like some other things I tried, would return almost every line. Because if it goes through a line, and comes across a vowel, isn't...

Ok, I see. So in the second case, any line which contains a non-vowel returns 'true'. I guess we could use the -v flag there, and get vowels only.
Thanks!

Grepping Words with No Vowels
Hi!
I was trying to grep all the words in a wordlist, (twl), with no vowels. I had a hard time figuring out how to do it, but I finally lit on the -v flag. Here's my question:
Why does this work:...

What? Unix is great fun! I just can't get anyone else to agree.

I am told it's mostly like FreeBSD.

Well, we want ruby1.9 as the target file, right? Shouldn't it be the opposite?
Here's a...

What Makes an App the System Default?
Hi!
I'm not sure how, (or if), Apple updates stuff in the standard unix installation of OS X, but whenever I have occasion to check a version number of something in my standard install, it is...

That's an excellent point, but I was already working on a duplicate, (a concatenation, really), so it wouldn't have much mattered. But, point well taken!

Huh, you're right, I must of overlooked something. Of course it should work, and it does. But didn't you expect your original code to work in place? In other words, to over-write the original file?...

"Work in Place"
Sorry, had a bit on my plate over the last week, so I had to come back to this.

So, I tried bipinajith's one-liner:
awk '!arr[$0]++' ~/path/to/file.txt
While it did remove doubles, the output...

That was helpful. If I've understood correctly, bipinajith's pattern is telling awk to treat the data as a single column array, assign keys to each value, (hash table?), then if the same key comes up...

Whew! I kinda think I get it. At least, until I try to type out my own explanation. You know, I think I'm going to read something about awk and come back tomorrow.

Hey bipinajith, thanks for your reply! Would you mind explaining how that pattern works? I thought I knew a little about regexes, but I've never seen anything like that.

Remove Doubles Without Sort?
Hi!
I have concatenated two files which are wordlists, i.e., one word per line. The new file contains some doubles, but I cannot use sort and uniq as I need to keep the sort order that it is already...

Ok, I had to do
$ man man
to figure out how to access other sections. What an idea!
But now I know which sections to look in, which is very helpful. Thanks!

OK, yes, that was very helpful. Everything that everyone was telling me is beginning to come together in my head.

My situation is a little different. I'm just learning about unix and shell scripting at home on my Mac. Since the scripts I'm writing are useless except to learn how they work, I will never add them...
