Insert same character in nth lines with vim - vim

I want to insert a sequence of numbers but I need to repeat every number in n lines, I mean:
Original file New file
1 1,1
2 1,2
3 1,3
4 2,4
5 2,5
6 2,6
7 3,7
8 3,8
9 3,9

You can use a :help sub-replace-expr. A simple .* will match the number, and you can then concatenate the result, using submatch(0) to work with the match:
:%s#.*#\=(submatch(0)+2)/3 . ',' . submatch(0)#

How to remove some words in specific field using awk?

I have several lines of text. I want to extract the number after specific word using awk.
I tried the following code but it does not work.
At first, create the test file by: vi test.text. There are 3 columns (the 3 fields are generated by some other pipeline commands using awk).
Index AllocTres CPUTotal
1 cpu=1,mem=256G 18
2 cpu=2,mem=1024M 16
3 4
4 cpu=12,gres/gpu=3 12
5 8
6 9
7 cpu=13,gres/gpu=4,gres/gpu:ret6000=2 20
8 mem=12G,gres/gpu=3,gres/gpu:1080ti=1 21
Please note there are several empty fields in this file.
what I want to achieve only keep the number folloing the first gres/gpu part and remove all cpu= and mem= parts using a pipeline like: cat test.text | awk '{some_commands}' to output 3 columns:

1st solution: With your shown samples, please try following GNU awk code. This takes care of spaces in between fields.
awk '
FNR==1{ print; next }
match($0,/[[:space:]]+/){
space=substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH-1)
}
{
match($2,/gres\/gpu=([0-9]+)/,arr)
match($0,/^[^[:space:]]+[[:space:]]+[^[:space:]]+([[:space:]]+)/,arr1)
space1=sprintf("%"length($2)-length(arr[1])"s",OFS)
if(NF>2){ sub(OFS,"",arr1[1]);$2=space arr[1] space1 arr1[1] }
}

' Input_file
Output will be as follows for above code with shown samples:

2 16
3 4
4 3 12

2nd solution: If you don't care of spaces then try following awk code.
awk 'FNR==1{print;next} match($2,/gres\/gpu=([0-9]+)/,arr){$2=arr[1]} 1' Input_file
Explanation: Adding detailed explanation for above code.
awk ' ##Starting awk program from here.
FNR==1{ ##Checking condition if this is first line then do following.
print ##Printing current line.
next ##next will skip all further statements from here.
}
match($2,/gres\/gpu=([0-9]+)/,arr){ ##using match function to match regex gres/gpu= digits and keeping digits in capturing group.
$2=arr[1] ##Assigning 1st value of array arr to 2nd field itself.
}
1 ##printing current edited/non-edited line here.
' Input_file ##Mentioning Input_file name here.
Using sed
$ sed 's~\( \+\)[^,]*,\(gres/gpu=\([0-9]\)\|[^ ]*\)[^ ]* \+~\1\3 \t\t\t\t ~' input_file

awk '
FNR>1 && NF==3 {
n = split($2, a, ",")
for (i=1; a[i] !~ /gres\/gpu=[0-9]+,?/ && i<=n; ++i);
sub(/.*=/, "", a[i])
$2 = a[i]
}
NF==2 {$3=$2; $2=""}
{printf "%-7s%-11s%s\n",$1,$2,$3}' test.txt
Output:

You can adjust column widths as desired.
This assumes the first and last columns always have a value, so that NF (number of fields) can be used to identify field 2. Then if field 2 is not empty, split that field on commas, scan the resulting array for the first match of gres/gpu, remove this suffix, and print the three fields. If field 2 is empty, the second last line inserts an empty awk field so printf always works.
If assumption above is wrong, it's also possible to identify field 2 by its character index.
A awk-based solution without needing
- array splitting,
- regex back-referencing,
- prior state tracking, or
- input multi-passing
—- since m.p. for /dev/stdin would require state tracking

If you don't care for nawk, then it's even simpler single-pass approach with only 1 all-encompassing call to sub() per line :
awk ' sub("[^ ]*$", sprintf("%*s&", length($_) - length($(\
gsub(" [^ /]*gres[/]gpu=|[,: ][^= ]+=[^,: ]+", _)*_)),_))'
or even more condensed but worse syntax styling :
awk 'sub("[^ ]*$",sprintf("%*s&",length^gsub(" [^ /]*gres\/gpu=|"\
"[,: ][^= ]+=[^,: ]+",_)^_ - length,_) )'
This might work for you (GNU sed):
sed -E '/=/!b
s/\S+/\n&\n/2;h
s/.*\n(.*)\n.*/\1/
/gpu=/!{s/./ /g;G;s/(^.*)\n(.*)\n.*\n/\2\1/p;d}
s/gpu=([^,]*)/\n\1 \n/;s/(.*)\n(.*\n)/\2\1/;H
s/.*\n//;s/./ /g;H;g
s/\n.*\n(.*)\n(.*)\n.*\n(.*)/\2\3\1/' file
In essence the solution above involves using the hold space (see here and eventually here) as a scratchpad to hold intermediate results. Those results are gathered by isolating the second field and then again the gpu info. The step by step story follows:
If the line does not contain a second field, leave alone.
Surround the second field by newlines and make a copy.
Isolate the second field
If the second field contains no gpu info, replace the entire field by spaces and using the copy, format the line accordingly.
Otherwise, isolate the gpu info, move it to the front of the line and append that to the copy of the line in the hold space.
Meanwhile, remove the gpu info from the pattern space and replace each character in the pattern space by a space.
Apend these spaces to the copy and then overwrite the pattern space by the copy.
Lastly, knowing each part of the line has been split by newlines, reassemble the parts into the desired format.
N.B. The solution depends on the spacing of columns being real spaces. If there are tabs in the file, then prepend the sed command s/\t/ /g (where in the example tabs are replaced by 8 spaces).
Alternative:
sed -E '/=/!b
s/\S+/\n&\n/2;h
s/.*(\n.*)\n.*/\1/;s/(.)(.*gpu=)([^,]+)/\3\1\2/;H
s/.*\n//;s/./ /g;G
s/(.*)\n(.*)\n.*\n(.*)\n(.*)\n.*$/\2\4\1\3/' file
In this solution, rather than treat lines with a second field but no gpu info, as a separate case, I introduce a place holder for this missing info and follow the same solution as if gpu info was present.

How can I replace a specific character in a file where it's position changes in bash command line or script?

I have the following file:
2020-01-27 19:43:57.00 C M -8.5 0.2 0 4 81 -2.9 000 0 0 00020 043857.82219 3 1 1 1 1 1
The character "3" that I need to change is bolded and italicized. The value of this character is dynamic, but always a single digit. I have tried a few things using sed but I can't come up with a way to account for the character changing position due to additional characters being added before that position.
This character is always at the same position from the END of the line, but not from the beginning. Meaning, the content to the left of this character may change and it may be longer, but this is always the 11th character and 6th digit from the end. It is easy to devise a way to cut it, or find it using tail, but I can't devise a way to replace it.
To be clear, the single digit character in question will always be replaced with another single digit character.
With GNU awk
$ cat file
2020-01-27 19:43:57.00 C M -8.5 0.2 0 4 81 -2.9 000 0 0 00020 043857.82219 3 1 1 1 1 1
$ gawk -i inplace -v new=9 'NF {$(NF-5) = new} 1' file
$ cat file
2020-01-27 19:43:57.00 C M -8.5 0.2 0 4 81 -2.9 000 0 0 00020 043857.82219 9 1 1 1 1 1
Where:
NF {$(NF-5) = new} means, when the line is not empty, replace the 6th-last field with the new value (9).
1 means print every record.
awk '{ $(NF-5) = ($(NF - 5) + 8) % 10; print }'
Given your input data, it produces;
2020-01-27 19:43:57.00 C M -8.5 0.2 0 4 81 -2.9 000 0 0 00020 043857.82219 1 1 1 1 1 1
The 3 has been mapped via 11 to 1 — pick your poison on how you assign the new value, but the magic is $(NF - 5) to pick up the fifth column before the last one (or sixth from end).
Would you try the following:
replace="x" # or whatever you want to replace
sed 's/\(.\)\(.\{10\}\)$/'"$replace"'\2/' file
The left portion of the sed command \(.\)\(.\{10\}\)$ matches a character, followed by ten characters, then anchored by the end of line.
Then the 1st character is replaced with the specified character and the following ten characters are reused.
I'm gonna assume that the number that you're looking for is the same distance from the end, regardless of what comes before it:
rev ~/test.txt | awk '$6=<value to replace>' | rev
Using the bash shell which should be the last option.
rep=10
read -ra var <<< '2020-01-27 19:43:57.00 C M -8.5 0.2 0 4 81 -2.9 000 0 0 00020 043857.82219 3 1 1 1 1 1'
for i in "${!var[#]}"; do printf '%s ' "${var[$i]/${var[-6]}/$rep}"; done
If it is in a file.
rep=10
read -ra var < file.txt
for i in "${!var[#]}"; do printf '%s ' "${var[$i]/${var[-6]}/$rep}"; done
Not the shortest and fastest way but it can be done...

Sort range Linux

everyone. I have some questions about sorting in bash. I am working with Ubuntu 14.04 .
The first question is: why if I have file some.txt with this content:
b 8
b 9
a 8
a 9
And when I type this :
sort -n -k 2 some.txt
the result will be:
a 8
b 8
a 9
b 9
which means that the file is sorted first to the second field and after that to the first field, but I thought that is will stay stable i.e.
b 8
a 8
...
...
Maybe if two rows are equal it is applied lexicographical sort or what ?
The second question is: why the following doesn`t working:
sort -n -k 1,2 try.txt
The file try.txt is like this:
8 2
8 11
8 0
8 5
9 2
9 0
The third question is not actally for sorting, but it appears when I try to do this:
sort blank.txt > blank.txt
After this the blank.txt file is empty. Why is that ?
Apparently GNU sort is not stable by default: add the -s option
Finally, as a last resort when all keys compare equal, sort compares entire lines as if no ordering options other than --reverse (-r) were specified. The --stable (-s) option disables this last-resort comparison so that lines in which all fields compare equal are left in their original relative order.
(https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/sort-invocation.html)
There's no way to answer your question if you don't show the text file
Redirections are handled by the shell before handing off control to the program. The > redirection will truncate the file if it exists. After that, you are giving an empty file to sort
for #2, you don't actually explain what's not working. Expanding your sample data, this happens
$ cat try.txt
8 2
8 11
9 2
9 0
11 11
11 2
$ cat try.txt
8 2
8 11
9 2
9 0
11 11
11 2
I assume you want to know why the 2nd column is not sorted numerically. Let's go back to the sed manual:
‘-n’
‘--numeric-sort’
‘--sort=numeric’
Sort numerically. The number begins each line and consists of ...
Looks like using -n only sorts the first column numerically. After some trial and error, I found this combination that sorts each column numerically:
$ sort -k1,1n -k2,2n try.txt
8 2
8 11
9 0
9 2
11 2
11 11

How to grep a file and output the matching part of a line plus a few surrounding words?

I am searching a file for a pattern and would like to limit the output so that it does not display the whole line, but a match surrounded by a few words, so I can see the context. The lines are too long to comfortably view the whole line in the output. I'm looking for a solution with grep, awk, and/or sed. grep has -o option, and it might be possible to use that if I have the right regular expression for that.
As an extra feature, it would be nice if the solution would optionally support grep's line number feature, so that line numbers could be printed along with the output when desired.
UPDATE:
Here is a test file:
1 2 3 4 5 abc 1 2 3 4
abc
1 2 abc
abc 1
1 abc 1
1 2 3 abc 1 2 3
1 2 3 4 abc 1
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3
1
SOLUTION:
Changing the number of minimum words to zero, so that we do not miss matches of keyword not surrounded by any words:
egrep -no '(\w+ ){0,3}keyword( \w+){0,2}' file
Example:
egrep -no '(\w+ ){0,3}abc( \w+){0,2}' test.txt
Output:
1:3 4 5 abc 1 2
2:abc
3:1 2 abc
4:abc 1
5:1 abc 1
6:1 2 3 abc 1 2
7:2 3 4 abc 1
I believe you're looking for something like:
egrep -no '(\w+ ){1,3}keyword( \w+){1,2}' file
This will print lines containing the word 'keyword' with a line number prefix. It will print up to three words before the match and up to two words after the match.
\w will match any single character classified as a "word" character (alphanumeric or _).
This answer also assumes words a separated by a single space character.

Preserve original order if numeric value is equal in coreutils sort?

Consider this snippet:
echo '7 a
3 c
3 b
2 first
2 second
2 third
2 fourth
2 fifth
9 d
2 sixth
' | sort -n -k 1
It gives an output of:
2 fifth
2 first
2 fourth
2 second
2 sixth
2 third
3 b
3 c
7 a
9 d
While the list is correctly ordered numerically keyed by first character, also for those values which are contiguous and equal, the original order has been shuffled. I would like to obtain:
2 first
2 second
2 third
2 fourth
2 fifth
2 sixth
3 c
3 b
7 a
9 d
Is this possible to do with sort? If not, what would be the easiest way to achieve this kind of sorting using shell tools?
Just add the -s (stable sort) flag, this disables last-resort comparison
echo '7 a
3 c
3 b
2 first
2 second
2 third
2 fourth
2 fifth
9 d
2 sixth
' | sort -k 1,1n -s
2 first
2 second
2 third
2 fourth
2 fifth
2 sixth
3 c
3 b
7 a
9 d
Add line numbers with nl, pipe to sort -k2,1 to use the line numbers as the secondary key, then cut the numbers off with cut. Or use sort -s. :p
You're looking for a "stable" sort. Try the sort -s option (or better yet, check the man page on your system).
