I have a few hundred text files from an old research project and want to release them to a public domain site. Before I do so, however, I want to replace people’s names for privacy. So “Rick Deckard” or “Rick” or “Deckard” would become “Richard”, and so on. Help!
I want to extract just the audio from an MP4 movie file I have. The wrinkle: I’m on a Linux system. Is there some way on Linux, maybe on the command line, to extract the audio from a movie file?
I’m learning how to write shell scripts on my Mac OS X Mavericks system and would like to identify and extract specific information from the EXIF information in photos. Is that possible from the Bash shell command line?
I was using Sun Microsystems Solaris operating system at school for the last month. I was also told by my professor that it was also Unix operating system. Are Unix and Solaris the same thing? I looked online for screenshots of both and the results are practically identical to each other, as well as the screen I would look at while on-campus. I would like to add Unix and Solaris operating systems to my resume, but I don’t know if it would make sense if they are one in the same. Please help.
I’ve been running the Python-based “mailman” mailing list management program for quite a while with good results, but all of a sudden when I try to start it up I get the error “Site list is missing: mailman” and it won’t start. What the heck? How do I fix this?
I need help with a shell script! I want to prompt someone to enter an IP address the automatically increment it and output the sequence of that address and its following addresses, but I don’t know how to do that: when I try to increment a value like “10.10.10.27” it fails because it’s not a number.
I’m a bit baffled. I’m trying to compare string variables in a shell script to figure out if one value is lexically less (that is, would appear earlier in the dictionary) than another, but it doesn’t seem to work at all? Help!
I need to run a Unix application if a different application is running, from within a shell script. How do I do this?
