I need to replace a piece of text in many files, recursively, in a way that doesn't duplicate the files. How would I do that?

The closest I've come is

If you mean "try connecting to Windows Exchange Server through GAIM", yes, we've tried, before I even posted, many many many times, surfed pages of web documents, forums, you name it.

Please try and post what here? My question? My question was: is it possible for Gaim to connect to a Microsoft Exchange Server IM, such as Windows Messenger. That's a yes or no question.

Hi, not sure if anybody else has run into this problem, but when I try to download a 3.61 GB ISO file from opensuse.org, Internet Explorer will save it as a 0 kilobyte file. Occasionally when I click...

!@#$, I finally figured it out. A while loop prints it all funny like that, but a for loop lets me print it unpaced, on one line:

awk '{ for(i=1;i<NF+1;i++) printf $i }' answer

I see. The problem is, I need all the values strung together, unspaced. So if the file has 1 2 3 4, I need it to be 1234 in the bash variable. So far I haven't found a way to get awk to print them...

I'm trying to redirect awk's output to a BASH variable. Currently the statement looks like this

dialog --checklist "Choose topics:" 10 40 3 \
1 "first"...

is there a way to make dialog output chosen values to standard stream? or append to a file?

Wow, that's awesome Ygor! I was using regular expression slashes / / instead of quotes in my match() statement, and it printed out every single line of the file, but stripped out the commas... ?!...

I can't believe that works.

Yah, the string is coming from a CSV file. I'm actually using awk to grab the field, but it doesn't appear to be able to filter it.

ah, thanks

Unfortunately the first one gives a syntax error in the bash script, but it works somewhat at command prompt (though it leaves the postcode).

python unfortunately isn't a command in...

What is the best way to filter a 5 digit number from a string like this:
