UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

fedora core 2 version 2.6.8-1.521 gnu/linux
the last version of redhat that I was working with linux 8.0 a special version that came with a book.. on this version and on spider tools linux 0.9 the second version I worked with.. when i envoked egrep -e from file1 to file2 I would get the needed results..
forinstance (its been a while so I forgot how i did this on the linux 0.8 and 0.9 but I am sure that it doesn't work at all on this version )
file one has a list of inodes;;;

ex,.
file 1

4636438
3938489
3737473
3883498
3409099

i could just load up the command line with something like this and i would get all the info I need and had...

ls -ali -R /home/$user/Filesystem1 | egrep -e file 1
and this would give me all the feed back in
ls -ali form......

I have tried all the different possibilities and I am getting no result.. is this because I am making a mistake, or is it the posix that i am working with... or is it a different command on this version..
would appreciate the feedback..
thanx moxxx68
ps .. all the inodes are in directories beneath the Filesystem1 slocate//

sorry my mistake I just tried it again in a different format and it worked..
the format is
egrep -e file 1 | ls -ali -R /etc/etc/etc

no need for answer..
unless some one can point out another way to use this...
which I am not sure of..
how and what would i use ;;;; egrep -e file1 file2
sorry!
thanx moxxx68

egrep -e file1 | ls -ali -R works but still not that good..
the real problem is making egrep -e file1 file2 work I can't seem to make it work :

according to what I understand egrep -e file2 file1 or file1 file2 should give the same results of file1.. this does not work.\
any one have any suggestions... what I am trying to do is lock away a certain file and keep inodes on a different apparetus (this one) using a usbdevice i should be able to retrieve the data without a trace of the information on this computer..
if anyone can explain any of what i may be trying to do with the egrep -e command in a more easily understood manner.. i would appreciate it..
thanx moxxx68..
ps.. to NEO i hope you don't have hackers on your site I feel a little uneasy showing some of my data but i have no other way of showing an example of what I am talking about..
thanx thanx moxxx68
:
i have a feeling that I have the wrong inode numbers due to the way I created log1

find . -type f -mtime -30 -exec ls -ali -R | awk '$10 !~/foo|bak|gz|temp|swp/ && $10 ~ /-[1-4]/'
would this give me a different set of inodes than on the filesystem..

Moxxx68, I was wondering why you mentioned fedora on this forum. Doesn't the fedora project fall under the category of linux? One way or the other, I'm happy to help.Just explain the terms a little clearer and maybe I can give you an answer.

on this version of linux I am having a harder time with the command than I was having with linux 0.8 or 0.9 (redhat).. according to what I know I should be able to extract all the information from file1 to file2 which has only a portion of the file using egrep -e command.. like sed -f
or awk -f ;
sed -f file2 file1 ( will giive a script to file)
awk -f file2 file1 (will give relative commands to a file)
egrep -e file2 file1 ( will extract data from file 1 to file 2 as long as file 2 has data that is relevant to file1)
this is not worklng..
I am wondering if this is because of the version of the linux I am using, something I am doing wrong, or is this a different command option on this linnux flavor... and if it is what is it?
thanx moxxx68
ps .. i mentioned the flavor and version to calrify the actual software that I am using.. just in case that has something to do with it.. and also because usually in a situation where matters are a little unclear the first question is what type of software are you working with etc etc,,,
