% acts on every line in the file.

\s matches spaces.

\+ matches one or more occurrences of what's right behind it.

Character '$' matches end-of-line.

% selects every line in the file. 'd' deletes what's selected. It's a pretty simple combination.

Will highlight search term i.e. "foo" across entire man page (scroll up or down to see)

/term_to_search_for+Enter

That is how to find things ;)

/Enter

(slash+empty string+Enter) will jump to the next occurence of previous searched item.

I wrote a script to make it a bit easier and more flexable:

#!/bin/bash

#By GrouchyGaijin

# Hard part (lines 15 and 21) by Vaphell

#Last Updated: 04-Oct-2013 (Friday - yes see what I do on Firday nights) @ 23:37

#Put this in path and call it by typing batchrename in the terminal

#Version 0.3

echo "This script is for batch renaming files."

read -p "Enter the path to the folder containing the files. " path

cd $path

read -p "Enter the file extension. " extension

echo "Press N if you want to use a new name or D if you want to use the date"

read x

if [ "$x" = "D" ]

then

i=1; for f in *; do mv -- "$f" "$( printf "$( date +%d-%b-%Y )-%04d.$extension" $i )"; ((i++)); done

fi

if [ "$x" = "N" ]

then

read -p "Enter the new base name: " new_name

i=1; for f in *; do mv -- "$f" "$( printf "$new_name-%04d.$extension" $i )"; ((i++)); done

fi

#OK S11 - change this to Thunar

The subject in a gpg mail isn't encrypted. For people without imagination this often becomes a drama.

Requirement:

1. Install polygen

2. Download "Bastard Operator From Hell Excuses" dictionary:

Install all build dependencies for a given package

you don't have to spell out numbers, you can just use nu

My first command :) I made this command to log public addresses of a virtual interface who connects random VPN servers around the world.

The original command is great, but I often want to prepend to every line.

Prints line numbers making it easier to see long lines that wrap in your terminal and extra line breaks at the end of a file.

:set nu

works too.

If /home/sonic/archive/ was a symlink to /backup/sonic/archive it would follow the links and give you the file listing. By default find will NOT follow symbolic links. The default behavior for the find command is to treat the symlinks as literal files.

I discovered this when trying to write a script run via cron to delete files with a modification time older than X days. The easiest solution was to use:

/usr/bin/find -L /home/sonic/archive -name '*gz' -type f -mtime +14 -exec rm '{}' \;

A very simple command to toggle Chrome?s default style sheet. It uses the test command to see if the "Custom.css.off" file exists, if so, it will become "Custom.css", and if not, "Custom.css" is moved to "Custom.css.off" Thus, swapping.

This is accomplished with "&&" and "||"
