thanks pandeesh and chapeupreto. Can I also ask, what is the best way of then using that newly created file list in a command?

I have a file which contains a list of paths separated by a new line character.

e.g

I've been reading documentation for 2 days but cannot make head or tails of it. What I'm essentially trying to do is provide a persistent vnc session separate to the one shown at the physical screen....

I have tried 8, 16, 24, and 32. Unfortunatly none of them fix the problem. I suspect that it is due to compositing that the VNC server (vnc4server) cannot handle.

I have since read that x11vnc...

Well, I took your advice and tried something different (and messy), an awk script. so, for example to remove blanks between 2 and 105 i would type ./script.awk Inputfile.csv 2 105
It works but at...

Hi yazu. thanks I'll give that a try. The capital letter was a mistake, sorry.
Is there a way of doing it for an arbitrary number of fields, I actually need it in the range 2 to 102 but because I do...

Is there some easy way to trim empty fields but only in a given range?
for example say I have csv data that looks like this:

After using the script above, to move to a new directory with same paths:

thanks thegeek, for duplicate filenames I have a perl script which I have been using for a long time. It's pretty fast and I can add my own criteria for the search.

Thanks for the great help DGPickett. Could you please explain what some of the switches do and their importance; for example -n99 in xargs and -u +0 -1 in sort. The reason I ask is that I rewrote...

I keep all my files on a NAS device and copy files from it to usb or local storage when needed. The bad part about this is that I often have the same file on numerous places. I'd like to write a...

seems so. Thanks.

but I guess the shell knows when to expand it as separate words since this throws no errors at input="$@"

I must confess that I'm rather sloppy with quotes in my shell scripts but can somebody explain the difference between these two? one behaves well if you input the space separated "hello world", the...

good point, that sounds even better.

There is one problem I have now though, I'm not asking for yes or no but a list of numbers that correspond to filenames in the shown set of duplicates. So I...

I'm sorry. Perhaps I don't understand the question. so you have a log file for a given date, today. You want your output to be all files that have the extension (dat,errdat,ctl)? Can't you just use a...

No tips, anyone? I guess I'll just use trap.

If I've understood your question correctly then "basename" might help you.

sorry about the ambiguous title and question. Perhaps giving my specific use of this case might help, basically what I have is a script which finds all duplicates in a directory and asks "delete...

thanks ktrimu and amitranjansahu
this is what I thought. it should mean that the hardlink and original file are exactly the same just named differently or in another directory, which means I can...

From what I understand a symbolic link is alot like a shortcut where it points to another file. if the original file is deleted the symbolic link is rendered useless but a symbolic link can be...
