Why not i=120; while ((i--)); do sleep 1; date; done

The condition ? trueaction : falseaction exists in awk like in C.
str gets the concatentation of str "\n" $0 if str is not null (undefined, empty, or 0), otherwise it gets $0.
$0 is the entire...

You're welcome. Yes, the for loop does not redirect stdin, whereas the while read loop does. stdin is needed by the ssh command, so ssh was complaining that stdin could not be used..
The adaptation...

If you have a lot of old files to remove, this may be noticeably faster:
find $backupDir -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm {} +
When you terminate the -exec primary with a semicolon, you invoke rm once...

Unless it's doing something weird like trying to parse unicode characters, there should be no such thing as an 'illegal byte sequence' in tr. Try LOCALE="C" tr ...

How about using strings: -n 1 will detect a sequence of 1 or more printable characters:

$ printf "%s" $(strings -n 1 20150118_1920.txt ) | fold...

What is the output from the command:
ls | od -bcwhen you are in this directory?

x is reassigned every time a line starting with "2" is read, and is set to 1 (="on") if that line's $1 is found in the m array, to 0 (="off") if not.
ALL lines are printed as long as x is 1.

Mind the details:
sed 's/^10\.0\.108\..*/10.0.108.11/' file
There needs to be an ^ anchor at the start , otherwise it may match 110.0.108. for example. The anchor at the back can be provided by the...

ShriniShoo and protocol,
The last two digits in the timestamps you're incrementing in your scripts represent minutes. There are 60 minutes per hour; not 100. Most implementations of the touch...

If the records are grouped, you could try:
awk '{i=$1 FS $2 FS $3} i!=p {if(p) print p,"TOTAL",t ORS; t=0} {p=i; t+=$6}1 END{print p,"TOTAL",t}' FS=, OFS=, file

Or try using column (https://www.unix.com/man-page/linux/1/column/) command:
$ column -t input.txt

A basic bourne shell doesn't understand regexes, only globs. There are no modifiers like * or +. only ranges [A-Z], and any single-character-match ?. Also, the glob must always match the entire...

Yes, that's grep and sed and awk, but not shell.

Doesn't look like there's a . in the filenames. Don't confuse regex (with . wildcard) and shell patterns (which do not accept . for a wildcard)

I guess, you are assuming shell to interpret . and * as regular expression metacharacters, however shell supports glob at the point where you use it. * in glob has a different meaning then a * in...

This can all be done with standard variable expansions without needing to invoke utilities that aren't built into the shell:
if [ "${runbatch#*FCST}" != "$runbatch" ]

With implicit if and default print:

Hi protocomm,

1. Variable s saves every line $0 where NF is greater than 0 NF{.., with ORS,so blank line are skipped here.

2. I used *, inorder to replace it with coming date and time where...

I should have said BREs rather than back references, but the times I most often see a sed substitute command fail is when I'm using back references. On the Linux sed man page...

then try like this

The point is that in message #13 in this thread, you implied that
cp filename file.backup && \
awk 'awk_commands' file.backup > file && \
rm filename.backup
and
var=$(awk 'awk_commands'...

This is extremely dangerous.

First, I assume you mean awk command in the generic sense, rather than command awk literally (which does something entirely different).

If the awk script fails for...
