Full Discussion: Need to add code to hundreds of .html files
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Need to add code to hundreds of .html files Post 302914097 by Don Cragun on Friday 22nd of August 2014 12:02:18 AM

Hi Makarand,
Why use:
Code:
for file in $(ls -ltr *.html | awk '{ print $9 }')

instead of:
Code:
for file in *.html

The second form will not fail due to ARG_MAX limits nor filenames containing whitespace characters; doesn't need to start up a subshell, doesn't need to invoke ls or awk; and will run faster.

All expansions of $file and $filedata also need to be quoted.

It also seems strange that this code replaces everything in every input file with one copy of the text that was supposed to be added after every occurrence of the word <html> in the corresponding input file instead of adding that text to the existing file in the specified spot(s).

Hi Ferocci,
Is the text to be added contained in a file, or is it just a string in your script?

I don't have time to give a complete proposal tonight, but if I was doing this I'd probably use ed -s "$file" in a loop instead of reading the files line by line in the shell (and I certainly wouldn't use echo to copy the results back to the files being processed.

Do you need more help with this?

locale::codes::langfam

Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			       Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)

NAME

       Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Codes::LangFam;

	  $lext = code2langfam('apa');		       # $lext gets 'Apache languages'
	  $code = langfam2code('Apache languages');    # $code gets 'apa'

	  @codes   = all_langfam_codes();
	  @names   = all_langfam_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in
       ISO 639-5.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5
       language family codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a
       constant that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha');
	  $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha
	   This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages.

	   This is the default code set.

ROUTINES

       code2langfam ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       langfam2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       langfam_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_langfam_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_langfam_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
