VARNAMES='ID FORENAME LASTNAME ADDRESS CITY PHONE MOBILE MAIL ...' cat customer.csv | while read LINE ; do COUNT=1 for VAR in $VARNAMES ; do eval "${VAR}=`echo $LINE | /usr/bin/awk {'print $'$COUNT''}`" let COUNT=COUNT+1 done done Maybe you have a CSV-File with addresses, where you have to process each contact (one per line, write each value to own variable). Of course you can define every variable, but this way is more simple and faster (to write). VARNAMES includes the variable names. Pay attention: the number of names in VARNAMES have to be the same than in the CSV-file the fields. If the CSV is not seperated with ";", you can set the seperator after the awk-binary with -F"_" for example.

You'll run into trouble if you have files w/ missing newlines at the end. I tried to use PAGER='sed \$q' git blame and even PAGER='sed \$q' git -p blame to force a newline at the end, but as soon as the output is redirected, git seems to ignore the pager.

Yep, is hard, but is a way more flexible using pipe.

Hi glaudiston, you can save a few chars by leaving out cat and pipe and still enjoy the added flexibility.

Take a folder full of files and split it into smaller folders containing a maximum number of files. In this case, 100 files per directory. find creates the list of files xargs breaks up the list into groups of 100 for each group, create a directory and copy in the files Note: This command won't work if there is whitespace in the filenames (but then again, neither do the alternative commands :-)

Warn: use convmv or detox if you can: they are the right tools. But if you want to do it manually, you can use this command to find the problematic files and transliterate their accented characters to their ascii equivalent. (Useful when doing cd backup: growisofs may fail on files which come from the old iso8859-* days.)

tired of opening tabs and fill in search forms by hand? just pipe the search terms you need into this surfraw loop. you can use any browser you have installed, but a graphical browser with a tabbed interface will come in handy. surfraw can be found here: http://surfraw.alioth.debian.org

Schematics: command [options] [paste your variable here] parameter command [options] [paste entire column of variables here] parameter ... (hard-code command "c" and parameter "e" according to your wishes: in example shown command = "cp -a" and parameter = "~") Features: - Quick exchange only variable part of a long command line - Make variable part to be an entire column of data (i.e. file list) - Full control while processing every single item Hints: Paste column of data from anywhere. I.e. utilize the Block Select Mode to drag, select and copy columns (In KDE Konsole with Ctrl+Alt pressed, or only Ctrl pressed in GNOME Terminal respectively). Disadvantages: You can paste only one single variable in a row. If there are more space separated variables in a row only first one will be processed, but you can arrange your variables in a column instead. To transpose rows to columns or vice versa look at Linux manual pages for 'cut' and 'paste'. TODO: - add edit mode to vary command "c" and parameter "e" on the fly - add one edit mode more to handle every list item different - add y/n/a (=All) instead of only y(=default)/n to allowed answers Disclaimer: The code is not optimized, only the basic idea is presented here. It's up to you to shorten code or extend the functionality. Show Sample Output

Group membership in OS X is a mish-mash of standards that end up meaning there's almost a half-dozen of ways to belong to a group, what with group inheritance and automatic assignment. This means there's no easy command to find out all groups a user belongs to. The only sensible way then is to list all users and then query each user for membership. NOTE: This is a function. Once input you can execute it by calling with a groupname. Show Sample Output

Assumes you've cd'd to the folder in which all your git repos reside; you could run it from ~ without -maxdepth, although that might make find take quite a while longer. If you have several processor cores, but not that much ram, you might want to run git config --global pack.threads 1 first, since gc-ing can eat lots of ram. Show Sample Output

An alias i made for myself to play music in a faster way. Works great when you have Guake / Tilda installed (Console that drops down like in the game QUAKE) --- I put this in my bash_alias file (I'm on ubuntu, the bash_alias file does autostart with the right config) but it works putting it in bashrc too. Or anything that autostarts when the console is opened. --- Needs Mplayer and music files to work. With out music theres nothing to play! Oh, and also, without modification, this alias will try to play stuff from your ~/Music folder! (case sensitive). Make sure that folder exists and has music OR edit this alias to fit your needs.
