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 is:
and looks like this in its native habitat:
Here is what I tried, as well as the error which followed:
The interesting thing (to me) is that it seems to be complaining about syntax in the actual directory - /Users/Rick - but I used the abbreviated form - ~/
I didn't really understand what it was complaining about, so I combined all the flags and got a different error.
I searched for the string "bplist00" in the file, but cannot find it. I also don't understand why it's talking about columns. I can't make heads or tails of this error. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'll attach one of the files, if that helps.
I get a text file with 70+ columns (seperated by Tab) and about 10000 rows. The 58th Column is all numbers. But sometimes 58th columns has "/xxx=##" after the numeric data. I want to truncate this string using the script. Any Ideas...:confused: (3 Replies)

bnftp
BNFTP(1) BNETD User's Manual BNFTP(1)NAME
bnftp - Battle.net file transfer client
SYNOPSIS
bnftp [options] [servername [serverport]]
DESCRIPTION
bnftp is a simple program for downloading data files from a bnetd server. These files include tos.txt, upgrade MPQ archives, and ad ban-
ners.
If no servername is specified, localhost is assumed. If no serverport is specified, 6112 is assumed.
After the program is started it will connect to the server and then prompt for the filename to download. No directory components may be
used in the filename. The file is copied to a file with the same name in the current directory.
OPTIONS -b Causes bnftp to emulate a Brood Wars client.
--client
Causes bnftp to emulate a specific client. The following client tags are recognized: DRTL DSHR STAR SSHR SEXP W2BN. There are
short options which may be used instead for the common clients.
-d Causes bnftp to emulate a Diablo client.
-h --help --usage
Print usage information and exit.
-s Causes bnftp to emulate a Starcraft client.
-v --version
Print its version number and exit.
-w Causes bnftp to emulate a Warcraft II BNE client.
NOTES
The current version is available with the bnetd distribution at:
http://www.bnetd.org/
BUGS
This program assumes that the terminal will move to the beginning of the current line when the carriage return character (^M) is printed.
It also assumes the backspace character (^H) will move one column to the left that character printed after that will replace those already
on the screen.
The terminal settings are not consulted for keybindings. The following are assumed:
^H delete the character to the left of the cursor
^J accept current line
^M (return)
accept current line
^T transpose the last two characters
^W delete word to the left of the cursor
^U delete the whole input line
^[ (escape)
cancel the current input line
^? (delete)
delete the character to the left of the cursor
