How to merge variable data from another file into specific place?
Hello,
I'm trying to create multiple commands using a variable input from another file but am not getting any successful results.
Basically, file1.txt contains multiple lines with single words:
Code:
<file1.txt>
yellow
blue
black
white
I want to create multiple echo commands with these words in the middle of the echo:
Code:
echo "This color is $file1.txt and will be ready ASAP"
Expected result:
Code:
echo "This color is yellow and will be ready ASAP"
echo "This color is blue and will be ready ASAP"
echo "This color is black and will be ready ASAP"
echo "This color is white and will be ready ASAP"
This is the best I got so far:
Code:
for i in $(cat file1.txt);do echo "$i";echo "This color is $i and will be ready ASAP"
output is:
yellow
This color is yellow and will be ready ASAP
blue
This color is blue and will be ready ASAP
black
This color is black and will be ready ASAP
white
This color is white and will be ready ASAP
Is there any other way that is more effective in doing this task without adding an extra word before the echo? This command seems to take a lot of CPU.
Hello,
I need to search in file2 for
class A : public B

and insert right after that the content of file1.
I am a bit lost as to which tools (which bash functions, awk...). I should use. Thanks for some directions here.

I have a file that I want to split in 2 (with Bourne shell sh) preferably. The file consists of groups of lines separated by newline. The file can vary in length, so I need to check number of groups of text. Here's an example

If I cat a file
And want to go to the first instance of a particular value - what command would I use?
And then from that point where I jumped to search for another value - but only search from that point forward not before the file?
Thanks~ (2 Replies)
Dear Gurus,
I need you to advice or suggestion about the best solution to copy data around 200-300G from serverA(location A) to serverB(location B). Normally, I will share folder and then copy but it takes too long time(about 2 days).
Do you have any suggestion or which way should be... (9 Replies)

I use zentyal for my server admin, which is great but zentyal auto-generates config file on boot and hence overwrites any changes made directly to config files.

I am trying to use awk to place the contens of a filename in $1 and $2 followed by the data in the text file. Basically, put the filename within the text file. There are over 1000 files in the directory and as of now each file is saved with a unique name but it is not within the file. Thank you... (10 Replies)

merge
merge(1)merge(1)NAME
merge - three-way file merge
SYNOPSIS
merge [-Llabel1 [-Llabel3]] [-p] [-q] file1 file2 file3
DESCRIPTION
merge incorporates all changes that lead from file2 to file3 into file1. The result goes to standard output if -p is present, into file1
otherwise. merge is useful for combining separate changes to an original. Suppose file2 is the original, and both file1 and file3 are
modifications of file2. Then merge combines both changes.
An overlap occurs if both file1 and file3 have changes in a common segment of lines. On a few older hosts where diff3 does not support the
-E option, merge does not detect overlaps, and merely supplies the changed lines from file3. On most hosts, if overlaps occur, merge out-
puts a message (unless the -q option is given), and includes both alternatives in the result. The alternatives are delimited as follows:
<<<<<<< file1 lines in file1 ======= lines in file3 >>>>>>> file3
If there are overlaps, the user should edit the result and delete one of the alternatives. If the -L label1 and -L label3 options are
given, the labels are output in place of the names file1 and file3 in overlap reports.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is 0 for no overlaps, 1 for some overlaps, 2 for trouble.
