Hi there, I'm trying to write a bash script that looks at a directory full of files and categorises them as either plaintext or binary. A file is plaintext if it ONLY contains plaintext characters, otherwise it is binary. So far I have tried the following permutations of grep: #!/bin/bash FILES=`ls` for i in $FILES do ########GREP...

I know I can "probably" fix them by using "flip -u" (cygwin flip) which basically removes one of the 0xd's leaving the file with DOS style line endings (0x0d 0x0a) (of course, technically speaking this might be considered a bug!). But the other side of it is that i'd like to do this selectively, ensuring that what I'm fixing really is a...
I have a simple log file which is very messy and I need it to be neat. The file contains log headers, but they are all jumbled up together. Therefore I need to sort the log files according to the log headers. There are no static number of lines - that means that there is no fixed number of lines for the each header of the text file. And ...

I'm using cucumber to run some tests. It colorizes its output using ANSI escapes. This is great, but currently its producing more output than I care about, and shoving things I do care about off the screen. There doesn't seem to be a way to eliminate the other lines from within cucumber, but I can pipe the output through grep to pare ...

Hi there! I have a log file which needs to be properly formatted into a readable format. However the text file has no static number of lines or fixed primary values and has random number of spaces but has only a log file header which can be used to pin point the start and end of each time the application logs. An Example of the log file...
