I am trying to create a .bashrc file with the android dev kit in Ubuntu. Only problem is, when i edit/ add to the bashrc file, I get a "syntax error near unexpected token newline". I posted the code where the error is, specifially between android SDK home token and android NDK token. Thanks for the help
#Android SDK Home
export ANDROID_SDK=</Documents/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702>
#ANDROID NDK Home
export NDK=~/android-ndk-r10b
export PATH=$PATH: $ANDROID_SDK/tools:$ANDROID_SDK/platform-tools
I guess that you have read something like this in a guide somewhere:
Add the following lines to your .bashrc file:
export ANDROID_SDK=<path/to/your/SDK>
# etc.
The < > are meant as placeholders, i.e. <replace this bit>. You don't need to put the path inside them, in fact you should remove them, as they are invalid syntax (which is causing the error you mention). Also, you should remove the space between $PATH: $ANDROID_SDK later on:
#Android SDK Home
export ANDROID_SDK="/Documents/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702"
#ANDROID NDK Home
export NDK="$HOME/android-ndk-r10b"
export PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK/tools:$ANDROID_SDK/platform-tools"
To be more specific, the error was caused by the > at the end of the export line, as this means "redirect the output of the command to the following file descriptor". Bash is then expecting the name of a file descriptor but all it found was a newline. The < at the beginning is also problematic, as it means "redirect the contents of this file descriptor to the command", which won't do anything useful in your case. See this wiki page for more details.
By the way, there's no harm in using double quotes, in fact, they're encouraged. Using them means that word splitting will not occur in case the name of a directory contains a space. I've added some around your assignments and changed ~ to $HOME, so that it will still do what you want (the ~ will be interpreted literally within double quotes, whereas $HOME will expand to the path of your home directory).
Angle brackets are not valid to use this way.

I need to add google-cloud-sdk in PATH in ubuntu-16.
I try
gedit ~/.profile
inside .profile
export PATH = "$PATH:/$HOME/google-cloud-sdk"
but it give me error that
bash: export '=' : not a valid identifier
I am new to this. Please help.
As #mwweb correctly pointed out, assignments in BASH (and most other shells) cannot have spaces around the = operator. Just remove them:
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/google-cloud-sdk"
Note that you likely want to remove the leading / from the path as well.
I use a program which create me postscript file before using ps2pdf to make it a readable pdf, i've made a program which add some string to overwrite the company new logo. (The first program can't import image file itself).
I add the string before the before-last line of the file (" showpage").
While running my program to add the logo there is no error.
With the option -dNOSAFER everything is fine, but by default it's set to -dSAFER, and an invalidfileaccess error pop, the files are 6 jpg images alone in their directory.
I don't want to make it run with the -dNOSAFER option on. As it will fully open the file system.
In the documentation I've seen that there is a "permitted path" setting, but i can't find nowhere to set this up. Is it just a command line option to set in the command launching the program ? Or is there a config file for GhostScript / ps2pdf where i can put the path to this directory as permitted path.
in this documentation :
http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/current/Use.htm
I only find
-dTTYPAUSE
Causes Ghostscript to read a character from /dev/tty, rather than
standard input, at the end of each page. This may be useful if input
is coming from a pipe. Note that -dTTYPAUSE overrides -dNOPAUSE. Also
note that -dTTYPAUSE requires opening the terminal device directly,
and may cause problems in combination with -dSAFER. Permission errors
can be avoided by adding the device to the permitted reading list
before invoking safer mode
gs -dTTYPAUSE -dDELAYSAFER -c '<< /PermitFileReading [ (/dev/tty)] >> setuserparams .locksafe' -dSAFER
The quote is just for the context but is this a way to put the permitted path ?
As gs automatically launch with the full system as readOnly there will be no difference ? There is no other find result for PermitFile in this page.
Try adding the required path to the search path with -I (Include) See Use.htm, section 8 How Ghostscript finds files. This should only be a problem if you are using 'run' or similar to read files from another location.
The section on TTYPAUSE is not relevant.
How do I fix this? I don't want to change my server name I just want to customize the text here (no server name, still shows path/user). Also what's this section of the terminal window called?
The Terminal Entry line prefix is called the shell prompt.
You can generally find the current config by typing
echo $PS1
That returned this for me: [\e]0;\u#^C\w\a]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u#\h:\w\$
So I was able to remove the "#\h" in both locations and get the desired tag.
export PS1="\[\e]0;\u: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u:\w\$ "
leaving me with "root:/kliq$'
I am trying to zip a file using shell script command. I am using following command:
zip ./test/step1.zip $FILES
where $FILES contain all the input files. But I am getting a warning as follows
zip warning: name not matched: myfile.dat
and one more thing I observed that the file which is at last in the list of files in a folder has the above warning and that file is not getting zipped.
Can anyone explain me why this is happening? I am new to shell script world.
zip warning: name not matched: myfile.dat
This means the file myfile.dat does not exist.
You will get the same error if the file is a symlink pointing to a non-existent file.
As you say, whatever is the last file at the of $FILES, it will not be added to the zip along with the warning. So I think something's wrong with the way you create $FILES. Chances are there is a newline, carriage return, space, tab, or other invisible character at the end of the last filename, resulting in something that doesn't exist. Try this for example:
for f in $FILES; do echo :$f:; done
I bet the last line will be incorrect, for example:
:myfile.dat :
...or something like that instead of :myfile.dat: with no characters before the last :
UPDATE
If you say the script started working after running dos2unix on it, that confirms what everybody suspected already, that somehow there was a carriage-return at the end of your $FILES list.
od -c shows the \r carriage-return. Try echo $FILES | od -c
Another possible cause that can generate a zip warning: name not matched: error is having any of zip's environment variables set incorrectly.
From the man page:
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variables are read and used by zip as described.
ZIPOPT
contains default options that will be used when running zip. The contents of this environment variable will get added to the command line just after the zip command.
ZIP
[Not on RISC OS and VMS] see ZIPOPT
Zip$Options
[RISC OS] see ZIPOPT
Zip$Exts
[RISC OS] contains extensions separated by a : that will cause native filenames with one of the specified extensions to be added to the zip file with basename and extension swapped.
ZIP_OPTS
[VMS] see ZIPOPT
In my case, I was using zip in a script and had the binary location in an environment variable ZIP so that we could change to a different zip binary easily without making tonnes of changes in the script.
Example:
ZIP=/usr/bin/zip
...
${ZIP} -r folder.zip folder
This is then processed as:
/usr/bin/zip /usr/bin/zip -r folder.zip folder
And generates the errors:
zip warning: name not matched: folder.zip
zip I/O error: Operation not permitted
zip error: Could not create output file (/usr/bin/zip.zip)
The first because it's now trying to add folder.zip to the archive instead of using it as the archive. The second and third because it's trying to use the file /usr/bin/zip.zip as the archive which is (fortunately) not writable by a normal user.
Note: This is a really old question, but I didn't find this answer anywhere, so I'm posting it to help future searchers (my future self included).
eebbesen hit the nail in his comment for my case (but i cannot vote for comment).
Another possible reason missed in the other comments is file exceeding the file size limit (4GB).
I converted my script for unix environment using dos2unix command and executed my script as ./myscript.sh instead bash myscript.sh.
I just discovered another potential cause for this. If the permissions of the directory/subdirectory don't allow the zip to find the file, it will report this error. Actually, if you run a chmod -R 444 on the directory, and then try to zip it, you will reproduce this error, and also have a "stored 0%" report, like this:
zip warning: name not matched: borrar/enviar
adding: borrar/ (stored 0%)
Hence, try changing the permissions of the file. If you are trying to send them through email, and those email filters (like Gmail's) invent silly filters of not sending executables, don't forget that making permissions very strict when making zip compression can be the cause of the error you are reporting, of "name not matched".
spaces are not allowed:
it would fail if there are more than one files(s) in $FILES unless you put them in loop
I also encountered this issue. In my case, the line separate is CRLF in my zip shell script which causes the problem. Using LF fixed it.
I am using Vim and I have set the path (set path+= c:/work/etc/etc) to my project directory (for C#), but still using command 'gf' give me error:
E:447 Can't find file.
Is there anything I am doing wrong over here?
G'day,
To get a bit more detail on your current path settings you can see what's being included and the files vim can't find by entering the command:
:checkpath
and you'll get a dump of the files not found, e.g.
--- Included files not found in path ---
<io.h>
vim.h -->
<functions.h>
<clib/exec_protos.h>
Or you can get a listing of all included files, both found and not found, by entering
:checkpath!
Enter
:help path
to get more info on the path syntax.
Edit: Don't forget that using the syntax
set path=/work
will completely reset your path variable to what you've just declared. I'd suggest using
set path+=/work
instead. This won't clobber the current path and will just add your /work directory instead.
HTH
I also found out that
:set path+=./foo/bar
adds a search location relative to the directory of the current file, just like '.' does.
My vim didn't want to search for such include
#include <common/util/string.h>
So what I needed to do was
:set path+=foo/bar
instead of
:set path+=./foo/bar
The former adds a search path relative to current working directory. Hopefully it helps someone.
First can you open the file using :find file.name ? (:help find for more info). If this does not work then your path is wrong. If :find does locate your file then do the following:
Insure that you are not in Visual/Insert mode
Place cursor on the first letter of the filename and press gf
I know this is an old question, but I also had some troubles with this for another reason and it took me some time to find out why. I hope this might be helpful to someone.
When a directory is matched with wildignore, gf does not work for files in it, nor does :find.
This is obvious if you read wildignore's documentation, but I forgot I ever changed this variable, and what it was for exactly. Also I used a glob, and it was not immediately apparent to me that the directory I was using gf in, was also matched with this glob.
Make sure there is no leading character to the file name if you press gf, i.e. using gf when the cursor is on help.txt will not work here:
file=help.txt
If you are talking about the gf tool wri††en by tomnomnom then here's how to set-up:
Setting PATH for GO (if you have not setup yet).
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
Step 1: Download tool from github
Step 2: cp -r path/to/tomnomnom/gf/examples ~/.gf
Step 3: source ~/tools/gf/gf-completion.bash
Now gf should work along with auto-completion from anywhere.
