Deleting Extra Text Within A Line... (tearing Out Remaining Hair..!)

What I did in windows was create images of my drive and restore them.

in linux I am running

Code:

rsync -aAXv --exclude={"/home/*","/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} /* /path/to/backup/folder

and this creates a folder for me with all my files, and apparently saves meta data like permissions and paths...

Since I'm using arch and things break sometimes,I'm booted into a CLI with errors and cannot figure my way out since I'm a noob... would I be able to just delete my entire root and replace it with the rsync backup without a problem?

I installed ns2 using (sudo apt-get install ns2)
I hav code for black hole attack in aodv manet and while trying to run it on ns2 Im getting the fallowing error message
please tell me how to fix this..??

Hello

I have a text file which has blocks like
Code:

dir1/dir2/dir3/name_run_number1:
line1_run_number1_part1
line2_run_number1_part2
line3_run_number1_part3...

Each block is separated with a blank line and there is the ":" in the "header" of each one while each block carries the same "number1" after "run_" suffix
What I want to do is for each block, extract the "number1" as shown in the first line and then for the lines below count from 1-20 and give a message if a "partX" line is missing. Any bash or python would be fine

Thanks

I use following shell script to send email. But the subject of email always shows "This" instead of "This is L_1.R is finished". You may refer http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-define-variable-in-%60ssh%60-4175540566/
Code:

host_list=("c15-0330-01.ad.mtu.edu" "c15-0330-02.ad.mtu.edu" "c15-0330-03.ad.mtu.edu" "c15-0330-04.ad.mtu.edu")
program=("L_1" "L_2" "L_3" "L_4")
subject="The job is finished"
ssh -f c15-0330-01.ad.mtu.edu 'echo' "the job ${program[0]} is finished" '|' 'mutt "zwang10@mtu.edu" -s' "This is "${program[0]}".R is finished";

Hi all ,
I have a requirement where I have a file. Contents of the file are :
#comments
VAR="abg"
RES=123
#comments
IC6790ABG="https://www.abc.com"
IC5678-vg="https://www.bhy.com"
IC-gy_567:78="https://www.gyt.com"
#comments
The variable names can not have characters like - , : so
in this file I have to find words starting with IC and replace characters like - ,:
I want to change only the variable name , not the whole line.
I have used SED command

sed -i '/^IC/s/[^0-9 a-z A-Z _]*//g' file

when I am using this command , it is replacing the whole line
output becomes :

#comments
VAR="abg"
RES=123
#comments
IC6790ABGhttpswwwabccom
IC5678vghttpswwwbhycom
ICgy56778httpswwwgytcom
#comments


But I want the output like this :

#comments
VAR="abg"
RES=123
#comments
IC6790ABG="https://www.abc.com"
IC5678vg="https://www.bhy.com"
ICgy_56778="https://www.gyt.com"
#comments

How can I get the desired output , thanks for your help in advance .

hello all,

please help me with python ftplib. i was trying to copy files from my linux machine to a windows server using ftplib. everything was working good. but i'm only able to copy files from the same directory the script is. how do i copy files from a different directory? i always get "file not found error message". here's my code :

Code:

tester_name = str (socket.gethostname())
def upload(ftp, file):
    ext = os.path.splitext(file)[1]
    if ext in (".txt", ".htm", ".html"):
        ftp.storlines("STOR " + file, open(file))
    else:
        ftp.storbinary("STOR " + file, open(file, "rb"), 1024)



parse_source_path = ('/path/to/where/i/go/')
parse_source_file_list = os.listdir(parse_source_path)

ftp = ftplib.FTP("server_IP")
ftp.login("username", "pass")

folder_list = []

ftp.dir(folder_list.append)

if str(tester_name) not in str(folder_list) :
    ftp.mkd("%s"%tester_name)
    ftp.cwd("%s"%tester_name)
    for files in parse_source_file_list :
        print files
        upload(ftp, files)


else :
    print "later"

I am trying to process some .csv files with Linux as follows:

Some fields have data with newline characters embedded, like so:

"Bob Smith
531 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC"

(I verified the existence of the " via Wordpad. The file is too large to easily edit in Wordpad to get all the data for each row on a single line).

what linux command would I use on the files to get the data in each cell on one line?

I have tried:

1. awk -v RS="" '{gsub (/\n/,"")}1' file > newfile

but the cell data was still being read in as if "531 Pennsylvania Avenue" was a brand new row in the CSV file.

2. Command 1 followed by awk -v RS="" '{gsub (/\r/,"")}1' newfile > finalFile

but that resulted in all of the data in the file being put onto a single line.

3. awk -v RS="" '{gsub (/\r\n/,"")}1' file > newFile

But that result was the same as attempt number 2.

How can I preprocess the file so that:

"Bob Smith
531 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC"

is read as a single field on a single line as part of the row it should be associated with, like

"Bob Smith 531 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC"

I have two files which has exact same number of lines.
I want first line of first file should be filename of new file and content of this new file should be first line of second file.
Then second line of first file should be filename of again new file and content of this new file should be second line of second file.
then third line of first file should be filename of again new file and content of this new file should be third line of second file.
and so on...
I am trying to do it using for loop but I am not able to create two for loops.
This is what I have done
Code:

IFS=$'\n'
var=$(sed 's/\"http\(.*\)\/\(.*\).wav\"\,\".*/\2/g' 1797.csv) # filenames of all files
var2=$(sed 's/\"http\(.*\)\/\(.*\).wav\"\,\"\(.*\)\"$/\3/g' 1797.csv) # contents of all files
for j in $var;
do
#Here I do not know how to use $var2
done

Please help.
