I am in the process of updating a folder of hundreds of recipe html files. I've already managed to modify a number of things in each file but I have run into something that's beyond my ability.

I...

The "normal way" works properly for me ahamed. I appreciate your help here. I'll finish out my script and do a test run on a duplicate of the folder of html files. I shall post my results. Thank you...

Okay, I get "awk: cmd. line:1: warning: escape sequence `\/' treated as plain `/'" when I run the command but I do get the text insertion.

You are correct though. I do not get "\n" in the...

I have 800+ html files that need to have a javascript added to them in the head. I can do the looping, setting filenames as variables, etc. but I cannot figure out how to insert my javascript file...

yinyuemi,

Okay, your second script performs correctly and places the lines below the current last line in the target file. Now I will research your script and figure out what everything does so...

yinyuemi ,

I have tested your script and it works as desired except that it places the lines before the first line of the target file. I need the lines inserted after the last line of the file.

I have absolutely no idea how to do this and everything I have done doesn't even come close.

Here's the scenario:

There are a number of files in a folder named in this manner:

agd.txt...

It seems that the suggestions above work if I run them from a terminal but in my script I get something different.

As an example:

tr -d '"' < list.txt

gets me what I am looking for.
...

The script:
for i in $(awk '/\".*\"/' list.txt)
do
echo $i
done

iist.txt:
"Willie"
"Willie Willie"
"Willie Willie Wee"
"Willie Willie Wee Wee"

The results:
"Willie"
"Willie...

Yeah, I caught that when comparing my attempts to the suggestions that were submitted. I retain well when learning by trial and error and this was definitely an error. :)

Well, both of these work just fine. My own attempts with sed were not even close to:
sed 's/.*"\(.*\)"[^"]*$/\1/'


Obviously, I am going to have to study this a little bit, now that I have a...

I won't pretend. I am no bash, grep, awk or sed specialist but I have tried for a couple of days to extract something from a line in a file but have badly failed. There are just too may parenthesis,...

Gads ... A twin pair of nice, custom, Fedora 8 desktop boxes for me and my lady, an scsi ultra 160 based postfix box, a klunker 700 Mhz IPCop/Copfilter box, a good test box with dual 1000 Mhz P3's...

I happened upon this code while googling. It has resolved my text format problem. It maintains ms-dos format when appending the files.
for i in *.log; do (echo '0r...

Well, I have made a bit of headway in converting this MS-DOS batch over to bash. This seems to work from a terminal. Have yet to try it in a script. I have no doubt there's a much easier, much...

Here's the dos batch code. I note that in my original post that I failed to mention that the original files I am working with also get moved off to an archive, unmodified. There's never a filename...

Using a bash script, I need to find all files in a folder "except" the newest file. Then I need to insert the contents of one text file into all the files found. This text needs to be placed at the...
