Commands using cut (586)
-
Search in decimal rather than hex. od dumps the character list, cut to remove offsets, sort -u gives the used characters. seq gives the comparison list, but we need this sorted alphabetically for comm, which does the filtering. I drop to perl to convert back to characters (is there a better way?) and then use od to dump them in a print-safe format. Show Sample Output
0comm -13 <(od -vw1 -tu1 dummy.txt|cut -c9-|sort -u) <(seq 0 127|sort)|perl -pe '$_=chr($_)'|od -c -
This is a handy command to put into ~/.bash_logout to automatically un-mount windows shares whenever the user logs out. If you use this on as a non-root account then you'll need to append sudo before umount and the user will need to have the appropriate sudoer rights to run the /bin/umount command.
0mount|grep -e '//'|cut -d ' ' -f3| xargs -I {} umount {} -
Sample input:
kde-open -vQt: 4.7.4 KDE Development Platform: 4.7.3 (4.7.3) KIO Client: 2.0 Show Sample Output0kde-open -v | grep Platform | cut -d' ' -f4- -
Overwrite all sectors with zeros in one pass with ETA and speed status. If you wish to do more passes, encapsulate the line in a for loop (7 pass example): for f in `seq 1 7`; do pv -s `fdisk -l /dev/sdX|grep "Disk /"|cut -d' ' -f5` /dev/zero >/dev/sdX ; done Note: Substitute /dev/sdX with the correct drive you wish to erase. Also, you may have to be root to execute the command. Show Sample Output
0pv -s `fdisk -l /dev/sdX|grep "Disk /"|cut -d' ' -f5` /dev/zero >/dev/sdX -
Use the excellent sensiblepasswords.com to a generate random (yet easy-to-remember) password every second, and copy it to the clipboard. Useful for generating a list of passwords and pasting them into a spreadsheet. This script uses "madebynathan"'s "cb" function (http://madebynathan.com/2011/10/04/a-nicer-way-to-use-xclip/); you could also replace "cb" with
xclip -selection cRemove "while true; do" and "; done" to generate and copy only 1 password. Show Sample Output0while true; do curl -s http://sensiblepassword.com/?harder=1 | tail -n 15 | head -n 1 | sed 's;<br/>;;' | cut -c 5- | cb; sleep 1; done -

I can't find the lid command on my system, there is also another complied program: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/lsgrp/
0lsgrp() { read GID USERS <<< "$(grep "^$1:" /etc/group | cut -d: -f3,4 | tr ':,' ' ')" ; echo -e "${USERS// /\n}" | egrep -v "^($1)?$" ; egrep :[0-9]+:$GID: /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1 ; } -
When I do a major change in my entities, I want to find a way to find all my Entities names and create the commande for me. So instead of doing ls src/Your/OwnBundle... and then do it manually, this helps a lot. Show Sample Output
0find ./src -type d -name "Entity" | xargs ls -A | cut -d . -f1 | sed 's_^_app/console doctrine:generate:entities YourOwnBundleName:_' -
printf reapeats the format as longer as it has arguments. Then the idea is to make cut retain as much fields as we have elements in the array. As usual with such join/split string manipulation, you have to make sure you don't have conflicts between your separator and your array content.
0printf "%s," "${LIST[@]}" | cut -d "," -f 1-${#LIST[@]} -
"nl -ba" numbers all lines in the file (including empty lines), "sort -nr" sorts the lines in descending order, and the "cut" command finally removes the line numbers again.

This is the closest you can get to "reset printing system" from the command line. Giving credit back to J D McIninch from an apple forum back in 2009.
