http://www.unix.com – Hi friends, This is sed & awk type question. It is slightly different from my previous question. I have a text file which has numbers spread all over the file. I want to sum the series of numbers (but no more than 10 numbers in series) whenever i find it and produce an output file with the sum. For example ###start of input text file #### Code: abc def ghi 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 kjld random text occupies some 1000 3000 400 again some random text 900 100 whatever is here 900 11 what #####end of input file ######### The output should be ##start of output file #### Code: (HowTos)

Hi !

Let's say I have a tab-delimited file, input.tab, looking like that (it is just an example):

Code: Field1    Field2    Field3    Field4 5-10    A2    AGE 6-8 text 1.; AGE 7-15 text 2.    SIZE 1-20 text 3.; SIZE 9-18 text 4. 12-22    B2    AGE 3-8 text 5.    SIZE 10-19 text 6.; SIZE 10

Hi,

I am trying to extract lines from a text file given a text file containing line numbers to be extracted from the first file. How do I go about doing this? Thanks!

Uniq is a Linux Operating System command, that removes successive repeated lines in its output. So if the input is a file that has repetitive lines, all of them will be removed but one, only if they are successive. To assure that all repetitive lines are removed, the file needs to be sorted first. <!--break--> The format of the file is:

I am trying to use tasker to read at random any 1 of 3 lines of text from a text file on my /SD when I ask it "how are you?"

I have the lines set out like this in the text file:

great, how are you ;;;

Hi,

I have a tab delimited text file with multiple columns. The second and third columns include numbers that have not been sorted. I want to extract rows where the second column includes a value between -0.01 and 0.01 (including both numbers) and the first third column includes a value between 1 and 5 (including). How do I go about doing that?

Hi experts,

I am trying to compare two text files and output the difference to another file. I'm not strictly looking for differences in text but additional text at the end of one file that isn't in another, so basically comparing the file 2 against file 1 and printing any additional text to file 3.

Code

Code: # Tool number toolnr=`uname -n | cut -c2-`

# Log Directory Path LOG_path="/

Hi,

I am using the grep function to grep some lines from a text file. However, a line is grepped only once even if it matches the strings in the first file more than once. How can i change the code so that the line gets printed more than once?
