Commands using sed

This download a complete audio podcast

recursively traverse the directory structure from . down, look for string "oldstring" in all files, and replace it with "newstring", wherever found

also:

This is a quick line to stream in the latest offerings of your favorite netcasts/podcasts. You will need to have a file named netcast.txt in the directory you run this from. This file should have one and only one of your netcast's/podcst's url per line.

When run the line grabs the offering on the top of the netcast/podcast stack and end it over , quietly, to vlc.

Since I move around computers during the day I wanted an easy way to listen to my daily dose of news and such without having to worry about downloading to whatever machine I am on. This is just a quick grab and stream of whats current.

Future plans... have the list of netcasts be read from the web. possibly an rss or such. I use greader so there might be a way to use it as the source so as not to have to muck with multiple lists

These part of the command:

svn status | grep '^\?' => find new file or directory on working copy

sed -e 's/^\?//g' => remove "^" character on the first character of file name

xargs svn add => add file to subversion repository

You can modify above command to other circumtances, like revert addition files or commit files that have been modified. ^_^

This command will list a CSV list of infected files detected by clamav through squidclamav redirector.

Scans the file once to build a list of line numbers that contain non-printable characters

Scans the file again, passing those line numbers to sed as two commands to print the line number and the line itself. Also passes the output through a tr to replace the characters with a ?

queries local memcached for stats, calculates hit/get ratio and prints it out.

Note that the file at the given path will have the contents of the (still) deleted file, but it is a new file with a new node number; in other words, this restores the data, but it does not actually "undelete" the old file.

I posted a function declaration encapsulating this functionality to http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/7yx6f/how_to_undelete_any_open_deleted_file_in_linux/c07sqwe (please excuse the crap formatting).

This assumes your mail log is /var/log/mail.log

Use carefully have rm -rf ;-)

If your CVS server has moved, here's a way to update your CVS Root files throughout your code tree without checking out a new copy of your files.

The "vorbiscomment" utility lets you update information such as artist names and song and album tags in an Ogg Vorbis file. You can use this command to fix any mistakes that were made when ripping an album.

I sometimes have large files of MAC addresses stored in a file, some databases need the information stored with the semicolon (makes for easier programming a device) others don't. I have a barcode to text file scanner which usually butchers MAC addresses so this was the fix> I initially did this in awk ;)

awk '{for(i=10;i>=2;i-=2)$0=substr($0,1,i)":"substr($0,i+1);print}' mac_address_list

The ctrl+v,ctrl+m portion represents key presses that you should do. If you do it successfully you should see a ^M character appear.
