Bash: copying lines with specific character to files with same name as copied line.
I am trying to make my script as simple as a possible but, I am not sure if the way I am approaching is necessarily the most efficient or effective it can be. What I am mainly trying to fix is a for loop to remove a string from the specified files and within this loop I am trying to copy the lines with a specific character from the files to another set of files with a particular extension. I have found somethings similar using copy but only piping to one file.
This is what I have so far but because the files I want to copy from and the files I want to copy to have different extension names I am not sure how to use their basenames...
Here 'i' is all lines where ".pattern" is removed and I want to copy these lines to '*_relabeled'. I want '*_relabeled' (the *) to expand to the same name that is used for "/home/path/to/*.file" with a different extension
Would it be better to do the two separately or is there a better way to modify what I currently have? Is there some way to link or extract string that is associated with the '>' to be used as the file identifier to paste this string?
Thank you!

I would like to copy all files that contain a numeric sequence in the file name i.e., "922371". Files are compressed - *.gz. Would... (3 Replies)

Hi!
If I want to extract a character from a specific position of a string, I can use ${string:1:1} (if I want character at the position 1). How can I do the same thing, when the number of position is contained in the variable? ${string:$var:1}doesn't work, unfortunately.
Thanks in advance. (2 Replies)

gendiff
GENDIFF(1) General Commands Manual GENDIFF(1)NAME
gendiff - utility to aid in error-free diff file generation
SYNOPSIS
gendiff <directory> <diff-extension>
DESCRIPTION
gendiff is a rather simple script which aids in generating a diff file from a single directory. It takes a directory name and a "diff-
extension" as its only arguments. The diff extension should be a unique sequence of characters added to the end of all original, unmodi-
fied files. The output of the program is a diff file which may be applied with the patch program to recreate the changes.
The usual sequence of events for creating a diff is to create two identical directories, make changes in one directory, and then use the
diff utility to create a list of differences between the two. Using gendiff eliminates the need for the extra, original and unmodified
directory copy. Instead, only the individual files that are modified need to be saved.
Before editing a file, copy the file, appending the extension you have chosen to the filename. I.e. if you were going to edit somefile.cpp
and have chosen the extension "fix", copy it to somefile.cpp.fix before editing it. Then edit the first copy (somefile.cpp).
After editing all the files you need to edit in this fashion, enter the directory one level above where your source code resides, and then
type
$ gendiff somedirectory .fix > mydiff-fix.patch
You should redirect the output to a file (as illustrated) unless you want to see the results on stdout.
