... plus do a sort according frequency

A shorter version

Works on current directory, with built-in sorting.

squeezed the monster (and nifty ☺) command from 7776 from 531 characters to 284 characters, but I don't see a way to get it down to 255. This is definitely a kludge!

Changed wget to curl and it doesn't create a file anymore.

Substitute that 724349691704 with an UPC of a CD you have at hand, and (hopefully) this oneliner should return the $Artist - $Title, querying discogs.com.

Yes, I know, all that head/tail/grep crap can be improved with a single sed command, feel free to send "patches" :D

Enjoy!

Remove all arquives except the list.

Can't have space between the commas.

Bash method to remove all files but "abc".

It would be 'rm *~abc' in Zsh.

Unless you have files that include 'svn' in them, this should provide enough information to be useful. If you need to be certain, add the leading dot in the search pattern

Using NMAP to check to see if port 22(SSH) is open on servers and network devices.

same as

Uses xargs to call the second grep with the first grep's results as arguments

Inverse grep, to find files without the string

A quick find command to identify all TAR files in a given path, extract a list of files contained within the tar, then search for a given string in the filelist. Returns to the user as a list of TAR files found (enclosed in []) followed by any matching files that exist in that archive. TAR can easily be swapped for JAR if required.

recursively search dir for a a particular file type, search each file for a particular text.

If the first two letters are "ii", then the package is installed. You can also use wildcards. For example,

.

.

Note that dpkg will usually not report packages which are available but uninstalled. If you want to see both which versions are installed and which versions are available, use this command instead:

.

faster ;) but your idea is really cool

No need for further filedes or substitution for splitting. Simply use read a b

list top committers (and number of their commits) of svn repository.

in this example it counts revisions of current directory.

[Update! Thanks to a tip from ioggstream, I've fixed both of the bugs mentioned below.]

You, yes, 𝙔𝙊𝙐, can be the terror of the Internet! Why use normal, boring bullet points in your text, when you could use a ROTATED HEAVY BLACK HEART BULLET (❥)!? (Which would also be an awesome band name, by the way).



This script makes it easy to find unusual characters from the command line. You can then cut and paste them or, if you're using a GTK application, type Control+Shift+U followed by the code point number (e.g., 2765) and then a SPACE.



USAGE: Put this script in a file (I called mine "ugrep") and make it executable. Run it from the command line like so,





The output will look like this,



☙ U+2619 REVERSED ROTATED FLORAL HEART BULLET

♡ U+2661 WHITE HEART SUIT

♥ U+2665 BLACK HEART SUIT

❣ U+2763 HEAVY HEART EXCLAMATION MARK ORNAMENT

❤ U+2764 HEAVY BLACK HEART

❥ U+2765 ROTATED HEAVY BLACK HEART BULLET

❦ U+2766 FLORAL HEART

❧ U+2767 ROTATED FLORAL HEART BULLET

⺖ U+2E96 CJK RADICAL HEART ONE

⺗ U+2E97 CJK RADICAL HEART TWO

⼼ U+2F3C KANGXI RADICAL HEART



You can, of course, use regular expressions. For example, if you are looking for the "pi" symbol, you could do this:





REQUIREMENTS: Although this is written in Bash, it assumes you have Perl installed because it greps through the Perl Unicode character name module (/usr/lib/perl5/Unicode/CharName.pm). Note that it would not have made more sense to write this in Perl, since the CharName.pm module doesn't actually include a subroutine for looking up a character based on the description. (Weird.)



BUGS: In order to fit this script in the commandlinefu limits, a couple bugs were added. ① Astral characters beyond the BMP (basic multilingual plane) are not displayed correctly, but see below. ② Perl code from the perl module being grepped is sometimes extraneously matched.



MISFEATURES: Bash's printf cannot, given a Unicode codepoint, print the resulting character to the terminal. GNU's coreutils printf (usually "/usr/bin/printf") can do so, but it is brokenly pedantic about how many hexadecimal digits follow the escape sequence and will actually die with an error if you give the wrong number. This is especially annoying since Unicode code points are usually variable length with implied leading zeros. The CharNames.pm file represents BMP characters as 4 hexits, but astral characters as 5. In the actual version of this script that I use, I've kludged around this misfeature by zero-padding to 8 hexits like so,





TIP 1: The author recommends "xsel" for command line cut-and-paste. For example,





TIP 2: In Emacs, instead of running this command in a subshell, you can type Unicode code points directly by pressing Control-Q first, but you'll likely want to change the default input from octal to hexadecimal. (setq read-quoted-char-radix 16).



TIP 3: Of course, if you're using X, and you want to type one of the more common unusual characters, it's easiest of all to do it with your Compose (aka Multi) key. For example, hitting [Compose] <3 types ♥.

* Replace USERNAME with the desired svn username

* Replace the first YYYY-MM-DD with the date you want to get the log (this starts at the midnight event that starts this date)

* Replace the second YYYY-MM-DD with the date after you want to get the log (this will end the log scan on midnight of the previous day)

Example, if I want the log for December 10, 2010, I would put {2010-12-10}:{2010-12-11}
