1 BIF713 Additional Utilities

2 Linux Utilities  You have learned many Linux commands. Here are some more that you can use:  Data Manipulation (Reg Exps)  Miscellaneous  Printer Commands 

3 Data Manipulation  grep - print lines matching a pattern  head - output the first part of files  tail - output the last part of files  sort - sort lines of text files  diff - find differences between two  files  file - determine file type

4 4 Regular Expressions  Definition: A Regular Expression refers to a set of one or more strings of characters. Regular expressions can be used with Linux / UNIX commands such as grep, egrep, man, more, less, vi.

5 5 Regular Expressions  Simple Regular Expressions A Simple Regular Expression is a considered to be a “simple” match using patterns involving all or portions of characters Here are some examples: grep –i “435” course_codes (Matches strings of text containing 435 such as “OPS435”) grep –i “there” file.txt (Matches strings of text containing pattern “there” such as “there”, “therefore”, “there they go again…”

6 6 Regular Expressions  Complex Regular Expressions A Complex Regular Expression uses special characters with letters and numbers in order to provide an ambiguous regular expression match. This is similar to File Name Expansion, except we are matching strings (not filename), and the rules for searching symbols differ…

7 7 Regular Expressions  Complex Regular Expression Symbols:. Matches any character *Matches one or more occurrences of that preceeding character ^Anchors search to beginning of character string (line) $Anchors search to end of character string (line) [.. ] Matches any single character that belongs in square brackets. For opposite, use the notation [^.. ]

8 8 Regular Expressions  Complex Regular Expressions - Examples Explain what the following Linux commands using complex regular expressions will do:  grep “^the” file.txt grep “the$” file.txt grep “^the$” file.txt grep “^[0-9]*” file.txt  grep “^[0-9]*$” file.txt grep “^[0-9].*$” file.txt

9 9 Regular Expressions  Complex Regular Expressions – Examples / Continued… Explain what the following Linux commands using complex regular expressions will do:  var=“I am hungry”; echo $var | grep “^[A-Z].*[a-z]” file.txt var=“I am hungry”; echo $var | grep “^[a-z].*[a-z]” file.txt var=“I like OPS435”; echo $var | grep “^[^0-9].*[0-9]” file.txt var=“OPS435”; echo $var | grep “..” file.txt  var=“OPS435”; echo $var | grep “^..$” file.txt var=“OPS435”; echo $var | grep “^……$” file.txt  var=“OPS435A”; echo $var | grep “^……$” file.txt

10 10 Regular Expressions  Extended Regular Expressions Symbols to include advanced (extended) features such as repetition, and grouping. Use egrep or grep –E when using grep with extended regular expressions. You can use complex and regular expressions together as long as you use grep command as egrep or grep –E…

11 11 Regular Expressions  Extended Regular Expression Symbols: {1,} One or more occurrences of preceding character {0,1} Zero or one occurrence of preceding character {2,5} Between 2 and 5 occurrences of preceding character (pattern){1,} One or more occurrences of “pattern” NOTE: There are some short-cut symbols: + = {1,} ? = {0,1}

12 12 Regular Expressions  Extended Regular Expressions - Examples Explain what the following Linux commands using extended regular expressions will do:  grep “^[+-]{0,1}[0-9]{1,}$” file.txt  egrep “^[+-]?[0-9]+$” file.txt  egrep “^[+-]?[0-9]?$” file.txt  grep -Ei “^(the){2,}” file.txt

13 13 Regular Expressions  Other Utilities (vi): Regular expressions can be used with the vi editor to make it easier to search for complex patterns that are contained in files. The commands to search and replace regular expressions are typed in “last-line mode”

14 14 Regular Expressions Examples (using vi within “last-line” mode): :s/pattern1/pattern2/ - substitutes pattern2 for the first occurrence of pattern1 :1,$ s/pattern1/pattern2/ - substitutes pattern2 for the first occurrence of pattern1 in each line of the file ($ means last line,. means current line) :.,.+10 s/pattern1/pattern2/ - substitutes 11 lines starting with current line :s/pattern1/ *** & ***/ - & is the value of the string matched by pattern1, and is the only character with special meaning in the second pattern

15 15 Regular Expressions  Other Utilities (man, more, less): Regular expressions can be used with the man, more and less utilities to navigate to a location that matches a pattern Examples:  /^The/  /ward$/  /^[0-9].*[0-9]$/  /therefore.*done/

16 Miscellaneous  who – show who is logged in  date – print or set the system date  and time  which – show the full path of (shell)  commands  finger – user information lookup program  mail – send and receive mail

17 Print commands  lpr – print files  lpq – show print queue status  lprm – cancel print jobs

18 grep  grep takes a pattern, read standard input or a list of files, and outputs the lines containing matches for the pattern. Example: grep foo * Print lines in any of the files in the current directory that contain the pattern “foo”.

19 grep options Major options for grep: -l display name of the file that has matching line -r search all the files in the current directory and all its subdirectory for the given pattern -n prefix each output with line number -w search for matching word -v output lines that do not contain the given pattern

20 grep examples  grep -r foo. Print all the lines in all the files in the current directory and all its subdirectories that contains the pattern “foo”.  grep -lr foo. Similar as above but only print the names of the files that contains the pattern “foo”

21 grep examples Print all the lines in the file “bar” that contains the pattern “foo” [uli@seneca misc]$ grep foo bar This line contains the word foo and bar. Do you like to play football or basket ball? Same as above but prefix each line of output with the line number within the file “bar” [uli@seneca misc]$ grep -n foo bar 3:This line contains the word foo and bar. 4:Do you like to play football or basket ball?

22 grep examples Print all the lines in the file “bar” that contains the word “foo” [uli@seneca misc]$ grep -w foo bar This line contains the word foo and bar. Print all the lines in the file “bar” that does not contain the pattern “foo” [uli@seneca misc]$ grep -v foo bar The name of this file is called bar. This file has only five line. This is the end of the file.

23 head & tail head bar Display the first 10 line of the file “bar” head -5 bar Display the first 5 lines of the file “bar” tail bar Display the last 10 lines of the file “bar” tail -5 bar Display the last 5 lines of the file “bar”

24 sort Sort line of text file cat numbers 2314 5678 345 2231 101 984 4842 6543 98 11001 [root] sort numbers 101 984 2314 5678 345 2231 4842 6543 98 11001 [root] sort -n numbers 98 11001 101 984 345 2231 2314 5678 4842 6543 Numeric order String order

25 sort examples cat numbers 2314 5678 345 2231 101 984 4842 6543 98 11001 sort numbers 101 984 2314 5678 345 2231 4842 6543 98 11001 sort -k2 numbers 98 11001 345 2231 2314 5678 4842 6543 101 984 Sort by the 1st field Sort by the 2 nd field

26 sort examples cat numbers 2314 5678 345 2231 101 984 4842 6543 98 11001 sort numbers 101 984 2314 5678 345 2231 4842 6543 98 11001 sort -r numbers 98 11001 4842 6543 345 2231 2314 5678 101 984 Sort in reverse order

27 diff Display the differences between two files Syntax:  diff [options] file1 file2  When using “diff” without any options, it produces a series of lines containing: Add (a) Delete (d), and Change (c) instructions Each of these lines is followed by the lines from the file that you need to add, delete, or change to make the files the same.

28 diff examples cat file1 blue red white yellow orange cat file2 blue yellow black red orange $diff file1 file2 2,3d1 < red < white 4a3,4 > black > red 1. Delete line 2 through 3 from file1 2. Append lines 3 through 4 from file2 after line 4 in file1 Steps to convert file1 to file2:

29 file Displays the classification (type) of a file. Considered useful if a file extension is missing, or if user is unsure of file extension.  Syntax: file [option] file-list Examples: file assign01.html assign01.html: HTML document text file a.out a.out: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped file mydoc.doc mydoc.doc: Microsoft Office Document file 1 1: empty
