I have 1 file where data gets added every 10 min, I want to get updated data which can be stored in new file(inc1.txt) through script.
My path for file as /home/asda/Desktop/inc.txt
How this can be achive?
Use tac to cat the file backwards, and quit when you get to your marker:
tac /home/asda/Desktop/inc.txt | sed /Marker/q | tac
then add a new Marker at the end to remember where you last finished
echo "Marker" >> /home/asda/Desktop/inc.txt
This has the disadvantage that it alters your file, but you can grep out the markers when you use the file like this:
grep -v Marker /home/asda/Desktop/inc.txt
Of course, you should make the marker something that doesn't naturally occur in your file.

I have a file containing many lines like
"resourcename" : "myfile.pdf",
I want to replace everywhere myfile.pdf with an URL like http://somedomain.com/myfile.pdf. But the file name keeps changing. So if myfile.pdf becomes yourfile.pdf, I want to replace it with http://somedomain.com/yourfile.pdf.
What is an efficient way to do global replacement(/g) without affecting the file's encoding like UTF-8?
Thanks

I have an ip-address stored in a file. I want to use a single-line command to output the ip-address from this file and then ssh log in this remote machine.
How can I get it with pipe.
If you have a file that says
# cat test
192.168.32.205
then just do:
ssh root#$(cat test)
