In my code :
$status = `ls -l error*`;
It shows output : ls *error No such file or directory.
How can I suppress this message. I am interested in determining that the error files are generated or not. If yes, I need the list of files else ignore (without printing the message)
By running it like
$status = `ls -l error* 2> /dev/null`;
and suppressing the external command's output to standard error.
If you just need the file names (and not all the other info that ls's -l switch gives you), this can be accomplished in pure Perl with a statement like
#files = glob("error*");
if (#files == 0) {
... there were no files ...
} else {
... do something with files ...
}
and if you do need all the other info you get from ls -l ..., applying the builtin stat function to each file name can give you the same information.

I write code to fetch the fragmented packet by using a unique Identification field from pcap file. So I run scripting command in my C++ program.
First tshark command will fetch all the identification field from the packet with the callID mentioned in the filter and the second one will fetch all the fragmented packet identification field in that pcap.
And awk command compare then and find the unique identification field present in both the tshark command output.
Command will be like---
cmd = (awk 'FNR==NR{a[$0]=1;next}($0 in a)' <((/usr/sbin/tshark -r
/data/traces/TRACES.pcap 'sip.Call-ID=="1-4740#10.133.0.1" or
sip.Call-ID=="57b116c-5b20924e-93dcd"' -T fields -e ip.id)
2>/dev/null) <((/usr/sbin/tshark -r /data/traces/TRACES.pcap
'ip.flags.mf==1' -T fields -e ip.id) 2>/dev/null)) 2>/dev/null
Reading data by
FILE * stream = popen(cmd.c_str(), "r");
if (!stream)
{
LOG_DEBUG("popen failed");
}
fflush(stream);
NOTE:: I tried with fflush and without fflush still giving me strange
character.
while(fgets(buffer, 40, stream) != NULL)
{
data = buffer;
result += data + '\n';
}
if(data.empty()) {
data = buffer;
result = data + '\0';
}
NOTE:: Tried with the system() command also but this also returns me a strange Character
OUTPUT will be like --> 0^_iÏO^?
I notice a strange thing that when I execute tshark command individually and save the output in a different file and then using awk command on that files then it will give the correct output.
And Command is correctly running in the terminal also.

I have a file that is just outside of this directory that I need to copy to all of the files that end with "_1.src" inside the directory.
I'm working with unix in the Terminal app, so I tried writing this for loop, but it rejected my regular expression:
for .*1.src in ./
> do
> cp ../1.src
> done
I've only written regular expressions in Python before and have minimal experience, but I was under the impression that .* would match any combination of characters. However, I got the following error message:
-bash: `.*1.src': not a valid identifier
I then tried the same for loop with the following regular expression:
^[a-zA-Z0-9_]*1.src$
But I got the same error message:
-bash: `^[a-zA-Z0-9_]*1.src$': not a valid identifier
I tried the same regular expression with and without quotation marks, but it always gives the same 'not a valid identifier' error message.
Tested on Bash 4.4.12, the following is possible:
$ for i in ./*_1.src; do echo "$i" ; done
This will echo every file ending with _1.src to the screen, thus moving it will be possible as well.
$ mkdir tmp
$ for i in ./*_1.src; do mv "$i" tmp/.; done
I've tested with the following data:
$ touch P{1,2}{0,1,2}_{0..6}.{src,tgt,atag}
$ ls

Apparently, my previous answer didn't work. But this seems to:
$ for x in `echo ./P[01][012]_1.src`; do echo "$x"; done
./P01_1.src
./P02_1.src
So, when you run this echo alone, this pattern gets expanded into many names:
$ echo ./P[01][012]_1.src # note that the 'regex' is not enclosed in quotes
./P01_1.src ./P02_1.src
And then you can iterate over these names in a loop.
BTW, as noted in the comments, you don't even need that echo, so you can plug the pattern right into the loop:
for x in ./P[01][012]_1.src; do echo "$x"; done
Please correct me if your goal is something other than
"overwrite many existing files sharing a common suffix with the contents of a single file"
find /path/to/dest_dir -type f -name "*_1.src" |xargs -n1 cp /path/to/source_file
Note that without the -maxdepth 1 option, find will recurse through your destination directory.
Thanks to everyone; this is what ended up working:
for x in `echo ./P[0-9]*_1.src`
> do
> cp ../1.src "$x"
> done
This loop allowed me to copy the contents of the one file to all of the files in the subdirectory that ended with "_1.src"
Background Info
I have a JS library which consists of many constructor functions. I am using grunt-concat & -uglify to compile these into a single file.
Each constructor has a readme.md file.
The library is used to create advertising banners. It is used by around 10 developers who create their own advertising templates within a folder Templates which use the library. The files are .xml files which also provide a CDATA tag where they can insert their JavaScript code.
Question
I would like to populate the readme files with a counter, so that the developers can see how popular a particular constructor is directly in its documentation.
Number of occurrences (<% occurrences %>)
What I've already done
I can get the number of occurrences by executing
find . -name "*.xml" -exec grep -e "new\Foo\.Bar" {} \; | wc -l
It would be great if I could grab this value and insert it to the readme file.
grunt.registerTask('count_occurrences', '', function () {
var exec = require('child_process').execSync;
var result = exec("find . -name "*.xml" -exec grep -e "new\Foo\.Bar" {} \; | wc -l", { encoding: 'utf8' });
grunt.log.writeln(result);
// Now write result to your README file
grunt.file.write("README.md", result);
});
or
You can use the grunt plugin called exec (https://github.com/jharding/grunt-exec) to execute cmd line functions, e.g. find.
You probably would want something like this in your GruntFile.js:
exec: {
count_occurrences: {
cmd: function() {
return 'find . -name "*.xml" -exec grep -e "new\Foo\.Bar" {} \; | wc -l';
}
}
}
Then call grunt exec:echo_name
I have a directory with folder structure as follows:
-- DATA -- ABD 1231345 -- 01-08-12 // date in mm-dd-yy format
-- 03-09-12
-- 06-11-12
-- DEF 4859480 -- 02-10-12
-- 05-10-12
-- 07-10-12
I would like to batch rename this DATA folder as follows
-- DATA -- ABD 1231345 -- 2012_01_08 // date in yyyy_mm_dd format with underscore
-- 2012_03_09
-- 2012_06_11
-- DEF 4859480 -- 2012_02_10
-- 2012_05_10
-- 2012_07_10
Do you have a suggestion on how to accomplish using command line on Mac OSX / unix?
You could use a for loop and awk, parsing each file-name into your specified format and then mv to rename the original to the new name:
for dir in DATA/*; do \
pushd "$dir"; # change directory \
for file in *; do \
path=`echo $file | awk -F- '{print "20"$3"_"$1"_"$2}'`; \
mv $file $path; # "rename" the file \
done; \
popd; # restore original directory \
done;
This can be executed in folder above DATA. If you want to execute it directly in DATA, update the first loop to read for dir in *; do instead of DATA/*. It tells awk to use the - as the delimiter (instead of whitespace), and then reconstructs a string from "mm-dd-yy" to "20yy_mm_dd".
Using pushd and popd will enable the script to change the current directory to each subdirectory inside DATA (pushd) and then, after moving all necessary files will change back to the original (popd). Doing this will save you a lot of parsing-effort trying to save directory paths / etc.
You could use string manipulations and arrays to do that with bash only.
Something like:
for f in * ; do
parts=(${f//-/ })
mv "$f" "20${parts[2]}_${parts[1]}_${parts[0]}"
done
Search this site for various options to recurse into directories e.g.:
Shell script to traverse directories
Use the date command to convert the file name:
$ date -j -f %m-%d-%y 01-08-12 +%Y_%m_%d
2012_01_08
Getting to the files is a little tricker. We'll just switch directories to avoid dealing with long file paths.
for d in DATA; do
pushd "$d"
for f in *; do
new_f=$(date -j -f %m-%d-%y $f +%Y_%m_%d)
mv "$f" "$new_f"
done
popd
done
This site gives a good snippet
for i in *.avi; do j=`echo $i | sed 's/(\d{2})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})/20\3_\1_\2/g'`; mv "$i" "$j"; done
To compile a C++ project, I want to write a perl script to compile my program and see if the compilation went wrong or not. If the compiler gives any compilation error, I'll need to perform some other task.
The perl script will be something like this:
#l1 = `find . -name '*.c'`;
#l2 = `find . -name '*.cpp'`;
#l3 = `find . -name '*.cc'`;
my $err;
my $FLAGS = "-DNDEBUG"
push(#l , #l1, #l2, #l3);
chomp(#l);
foreach (#l) {
print "processing file $_ ...";
$err = `g++ $_ $FLAGS`;
if($err == something) {
#do the needful
}
}
so what should be something?
You should check $? instead, after g++....
perlvar
$?
The status returned by the last pipe close, backtick (`` ) command,
successful call to wait() or waitpid(), or from the system() operator.
The exit value of the subprocess is really ($?>> 8)
So you should check if g++ returned 0 (success) or non-zero.
if ($? >> 8) {
/* Error? */
}
