koala_man	sami: no, use -name '*TID*'
hyper_ch	m4n: :)
sami	koala_man: ohh that easy
sami	koala_man: That doesn't work as intended.
pgas	m4n: well yes, I was just showing an example of empty argument, a better example in the context would have been -o '', though I have no idea where the problem is and if there is one
pgas	argh too late
t3rm1n4l	is there a bash commonly used recipe available ?
Fatal	for cake?
sami	koala_man: nvm my bad
KiiK	how to answer it auto in bash.sh ?
KiiK	Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed anyway?
KiiK	To continue, enter "Yes"; to abort, enter "No":
koala_man	echo Yes | theCommandThatAsks
Action: Superflaw|ay would use a here string
mum-n-dad	At http://pastie.org/927513 - how do I incorporate the "retries" part with the now infinitely retrying "while ! git pull; do :; done" part?
Superflaw|ay	it's #bash
pgas	probably something like && ((retries--)); do
mum-n-dad	pgas: wow.. dude thank you so much
sami	Why wouldn't this work from within a script? TEST=`find * -maxdepth 1 -mtime +10 -name '*TID*' -exec ls {} \; | sed 's/"+TID+"//'`
pgas	use $( ) instead of ` `
sami	pgas: It still ignores the sed
hyper_ch	could it be that a process is finished yet for some reasons the data is not written entirely to disk yet?
pgas	sami: probably not, set -x is your friend
Riviera	sounds like you really should use wait
hyper_ch	wait doesn't work either
hyper_ch	tried it, same result
Riviera	okay, sorry for the wild guess :)
hyper_ch	Riviera: it's ok... I think the problem is between the finishing of the process and the actual writing of data to the harddisk
hyper_ch	since I then hash data on the harddisk it's of no use if the process is finished but data is still getting dumped onto the disk
mum-n-dad	pgas: yuu sure that works with zsh too?
mum-n-dad	im sorry for asking a zsh question in here though - but the guys in #zsh are assholes
pgas	no I'm not
pgas	seems to work here though:
pgas	% tries=2;while ! false && ((tries--));do echo tries;done
pgas	tries
Last message repeated 1 time(s).
mum-n-dad	sweet
mum-n-dad	you are a lifesaver dude
hyper_ch	hmmm, is there a way that I can specify a directory and list all open files within that directory?
Bushmills	hyper_ch: lsof should be helpful
Superflaw|ay	maybe lsof ?
hyper_ch	Bushmills: :)
Superflaw|ay	I'm interested in the flags, if you find them all :p
zarck	or fuser
hyper_ch	Superflaw|ay: just read through lsof :)
Bushmills	hyper_ch: it wasn't me
hyper_ch	damn :( it just doesn't want to work :(
sami	As i understand it find -mtime +10 would be 10 days.
twkm	modulo granularity, yes.
mum-n-dad	pgas: It keeps retrying infinitely it seems
mum-n-dad	pgas: http://pastie.org/927642
trash	zsh
pgas	mum-n-dad: ah, well the retries test should come first
mum-n-dad	yeah sorry about that trash
hyper_ch	I finally got it :)
Bushmills	+d /path/dir works for me
Mohan	what does '(:h)' this one do in the above pastie?
Mohan	for folder in $PWD/**/.git(:h); do
pgas	ask in #zsh
Mohan	oh its not bash, I didn't notice it.
Bushmills	sami, not quite.  it'd be 11 days, where 1 day ago means "at least 24h ago"
Bushmills	actually, +0 does not find files < 24 h
kbrandt	What is the proper way to kill jobs all on a singal (and any children of those jobs?)
kbrandt	Oh nevermind, I have it I think, had an eval in there
sami	Bushmills: Ok
sami	Thanks
zxd_	what does  set -e   do
zxd_	I forgot
zxd_	ok
zxd_	got it
hever	Hi. I'm checking the occourence of a string in stdin using a loop in a loop. It works but I think there are better solutions, do you have any suggestions? http://pastebin.com/qPibyK11
realubot	I got some help here beofre, but I didn't manage to get the code working using the tip so I'll ask you once again.
twkm	hever: [[
Action: SuperFlo was thinking of something that ugly : egrep -q "(t1|t2)" && exit
pgas	hever: if would use awk...or maybe grep is enough?
hever	its a variable amount of strings I'm checking...
hever	twkm, I use [[
Bushmills	you could test for t[1,2]
twkm	then why do you need two loops?
realubot	I have a text file conatining only one signel line that's very long. The line has got special characters that seperate some different parts of the line, like <seperator>. Then I want to "save" different parts of the line into different variables, like the text between first and second tag into var1 and the text between second and third tag into var2 and so on. After having like 6 variables I'll store the text between
pgas	hever: you can still use grep, with one pattern per line in a variable
hever	Bushmills, the Exeption will be some strings t1,2 are just examples.
Bushmills	so was my reply :D
realubot	This is what that the text file looks like: <tag>this is some text<tag>this is also some text<tag>this too<tag>
hever	twkm, because I've a variable amount of exeptions I'm going to check...
hever	Perhaps this code is good enough....
pgas	IFS=$'\n'; if grep -q "${array[*]}";then echo match;fi
realubot	Then I want to create a variable contining the text between 1st and 2nd tag into var1 and the text between 2nd tag and 3rd tag into var2 and so on...
realubot	After like tag 6 or 7 I will start over agian and create var1 out of the 7 to 8 tag, var2 out of the 8-9 tag etc.
lhunath	if (IFS=$'\n'; grep -q ..)
hever	whats IFS?
SuperFlo	internal field separator
realubot	I'm looking for a way to grep the text between like the n:th and (n+1):th <tag>.
pgas	realubot: use an xml/html parser
realubot	pgas: The tags are all the same, like <tag>, there is no special tags, just <tag> between the text parts of the line.
realubot	pgas: Not <title>, <content> or something, just <tag>.
pgas	realubot: paste an example of your input
realubot	Isn't it possible to like remove all but the text between tag n and n+1 using like sed, wehere I add n++ at the end of the loop, going through the loop over and over agian?
sn18	realubot: read it into array?
hever	lhunath, that does not work ;)
realubot	pgas: Well, it looks like this: <tag>Some kind of text<tag>more text<tag>hey ho let's go<tag>one more text string<tag>
realubot	pgas: It's one single line and I get it from zenity --list --editable --column1="Title"...
pgas	# arr=( foo bar baz); echo foo | if ( IFS=$'\n';grep -q "${arr[*]}");then echo hever: works here ;fi
evalbot	pgas: hever: works here
realubot	Zenity outputs all in a editable list by having the --separator="<tag>" to put <tag> between the content of each column. I can't set speciela seperators for each tag.
pgas	realubot: you can perhaps use something like awk -F '<[^>]*>' '{print $2}'
lhunath	hever: that "works" just fine, and I was merely improving upon pgas' suggestion; not sure what it is *you* are after exactly.
hever	aah you have to pipe it to if ...
pgas	hever: well not really, grep reads from stdin
pgas	echo foo | was just a way to write something on stdin
lhunath	!io > hever
greybot	hever: Data and File Processing: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide/InputAndOutput
realubot	pgas: Yeah, I'm not that familiar in using awk. Maybe I can use something like sed 's/<tag>/ \n /g' > input.txt then loop every line using while read line; do echo "$line" done < input.txt
twkm	i suggest not using bash, and write the entire thing in awk or perl or ruby or ...
hever	lhunath,  http://pastebin.com/gnB2GFmd
realubot	twkm: It will take me too much time cause I'm not used to Perl or Ruby.
pgas	hever: what is your script supposed to do? print all the lines up to the one matching one of the pattern?
realubot	Why do you not suggest using bash to parse text between tags? I mean, bah is very powerfull and will somehow manage to do this kind of job, am I wrong?
hever	this example yes, the realone is an email log reporter
pgas	realubot: yes, but it's not made for this kind of job, the result will be slow and it will involve more works
pgas	hever: well, I would write an awk script
realubot	pgas: Ok.
pgas	or perl or ...
hever	just use the two loops ;)
pgas	what I've just said to realubot applies to you too
JoshDreamland	Hi, is there a way to move the contents of all the directories in a directory to a new directory, without moving the directory names themselves?
JoshDreamland	For example, a/ contains folder b/ and c/. A separate folder, d/, is elsewhere. Can I move a/b/* and a/c/* to d/ without moving b/ and c/ and without knowing their names?
JoshDreamland	Copying is fine, rather.  Not necessarily move.
JoshDreamland	I just need a copy of the contents of all subfolders to be moved to a new folder.
spixx|work	cp -r ?
spixx|work	cp -r /folder/with/subfolders/
sn18	JoshDreamland: using find or globstar in bash 4
JoshDreamland	sn18: then piping their output to cp?
Titan8990	JoshDreamland: possibly: find /path -type f -exec bash -c 'cp "$1" newdir/' -- '{}' \;
JoshDreamland	Titan8990: Thanks, I'll give that one a try
JoshDreamland	Titan8990: Worked great. Thanks much!
Titan8990	JoshDreamland: np
pgas	if you use \; you can do -exec cp -- {} newdir \;
Stalafin	hey! i have a question about the printf command: if i want to print the vars FOO and BAR, would printf "%s\t%s" ${FOO} ${BAR} work? or is there something wrong with my syntax?
twkm	i would quote the parameter expansions, otherwise it seems fine.
tjg	Hi, hopefully you can help me... I have a bash script where I launch a daemon in the background, then get its PID using $!. But when I launch it with a different user (su --command "<cmd> &" <user>), I don't know how to get the PID. How should I approach this?
Stalafin	twkm: quote the parameter expansion?
Stalafin	twkm: as in "${FOO}" ?
zimmermanc	# cat "${FOO}"
evalbot	zimmermanc: cat: : No such file or directory
zimmermanc	doh
Fatal	Stalafin: "$FOO" works fine (${FOO} == $FOO, "${FOO}" == "$FOO", the {} adds nothing)
tjg	Hmm, I'm thinking I can put the command in its own bash script, which I call with a different user... And within that script, write $! to a file, so my outer script can find it.
pgas	that or sh -c 'cmd & echo $!'
SuperFlo	tjg: that's usually what daemons do, they have a pid file
tjg	pgas: Ah cool, I'll try that out!
mum-n-dad	pgas: is this: while ! git pull && sleep 5 && ((retries--)); do :; done
mum-n-dad	the same as: git pull && break || sleep 5?
mum-n-dad	i mean which would be preferred..
tjg	SuperFlo: Yeah... This shell script (I didn't write it) is in /etc/init.d, and then writes the pid file after launching the command in the background... I'm not a sophisticated bash programmer, so I have no idea whether this is good form.
DrMax_	is there a way, within a script, to determine if the script was launched from the prompt or "source"d ?
mum-n-dad	At http://pastie.org/927926 - will "while ! git pull; do break; done" stop the script if "git pull" fails, or will the loop keep on running?
Kniht	DrMax_: I think you want http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Is-this-Shell-Interactive_003f
mum-n-dad	I.e. I get "fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly"
Kniht	DrMax_: if you figure out what you asked, though, I could use that too :)
DrMax_	Kniht : I have a... let's call that a legacy script... that expects to be sourced rather than invoked directly
DrMax_	except that I do not have the invoker
Kniht	mum-n-dad: 'break' exits from the while loop, 'break 2' would exit the for loop, 'exit' will exit the script
sn18	DrMax_:BASH_LINENO?
noesc	I would need some help in parsing a file. I've got a shitload of files ~6,5k where ALOT of them are duplicates (with different filenames), and I want to remove all duplicates. I've calculated md5sums for all files and saved to a normal textfile. How would I continue from here?
pgas	use an already existing script?
DrMax_	sn18 : it's undefined unless from a script ?
DrMax_	hmm ok let's try this
pgas	DrMax_: is it supposed to be sourced from a login shell? or from another script?
pgas	noesc: shelldorado has such a script, there is an "fdupes" out there
mum-n-dad	pgas: is while ! git pull && ((5)); do the same as doing retries=5 and then while ! git pull && ((retries--)); do?
noesc	pgas, I'll check it
noesc	thanks
DrMax_	pgas : the intended use is probably to be sourced from another script, which doesn't exist anymore. You have to invoke source script.sh for it to work properly
DrMax_	which is cumbersome
sn18	mum-n-dad: no
pgas	DrMax_: so you source it from another script?
DrMax_	or fix the source-dependent parts
mum-n-dad	sn18: How do I do it then?
DrMax_	hmm ok
pgas	? oh well..
mum-n-dad	pgas: Could you give me a hand?
ebi	Does anyone know how to get bash completion for the history search commands like !:tab tab
mum-n-dad	pgas: At http://pastie.org/927926 - this script should: if "git pull" fails, retry it 5 times (but sleep 5 seconds prior to each attempt) - and if that too fails, stop the whole script. Am I doing it right?
andy_t_roo	does command || exit 1; terminate the script if command fails?
sn18	mum-n-dad: while loop will continue till git pull succeeds
mum-n-dad	andy_t_roo: I don't know, I'm using command || break;
sn18	mum-n-dad: you dont need || break
mum-n-dad	sn18: I only want it to run 5 times
mum-n-dad	sn18: Is that possible?
sn18	mum-n-dad: retries=5 ;  while ! git pull && ((retries--)); do
mum-n-dad	sn18: I must have retries=5?
mum-n-dad	there's no way around that?
Bushmills	no. you can also have 10
Bushmills	then you'd do  ((retries-=2))
mum-n-dad	What I mean is, do I really need that variable thing
mum-n-dad	can't i just incorporate the 5 retries in the while loop itself?
Bushmills	for i in {1..5}; do ... ; done
mum-n-dad	ok ill keep the variable thing :)
sn18	sleep 5 && :
