I need a sed line that will take STDM111 and change it to STDM161
the STDM will always be constant but the 3 numbers after will be random, I just need it to always replace the middle number with 6 regardless of what the numbers are. (8 Replies)
Good day,
First off, I would just like to say that I've been helped by a lot of the posts here in my own scripting work in the past few months. I've been a long time roamer, but first time poster. That being said, I'm stuck trying to figure out this issue (For computational research, not a... (4 Replies)
Hi,
I've been trying to replace the numbers in the first column of my text file with all ones, unless the number is equal to 8. I have this:

1 1 15 143 274

Hi all,
I need to run a number of scripts which have a certain phrase on them so I have identified these by;
grep -l 100 *script | sort -u
Normally I could just run something along the lines of;
for i in `grep -l 100 *script | sort -u`; do ./${i}; done
However before I run each of... (0 Replies)

Hi all,
I want to count total no. of characters in a column. and if no. of charaters are more than 3 then it must replace it by splitted string. ie, it must place a space after 3 characters.
Ex:

column number 3 has 4 alphanumeric character, so it must be splitted... (3 Replies)

RANDOM(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual RANDOM(4)NAME
random , urandom -- random data source devices.
SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device random
DESCRIPTION
The random device produces uniformly distributed random byte values of potentially high quality.
To obtain random bytes, open /dev/random for reading and read from it.
The same random data is also available from getentropy(2). Using the getentropy(2) system call interface will provide resiliency to file
descriptor exhaustion, chroot, or sandboxing which can make /dev/random unavailable. Additionally, the arc4random(3) API provides a fast
userspace random number generator built on the random data source and is preferred over directly accessing the system's random device.
/dev/urandom is a compatibility nod to Linux. On Linux, /dev/urandom will produce lower quality output if the entropy pool drains, while
/dev/random will prefer to block and wait for additional entropy to be collected. With Yarrow, this choice and distinction is not necessary,
and the two devices behave identically. You may use either.
The random device implements the Yarrow pseudo random number generator algorithm and maintains its entropy pool. The kernel automatically
seeds the algorithm with additional entropy during normal execution.
