Changing required field in file

Prashant Zanwar_4 — Mon, 14 Mar 2005 08:48:42 GMT

Hi,
I have some file which has all volumes of a particular field listed.
Fields are:
vg1
vg2
..
..
..
vg10

I want to change all these by
vg1.SNAP
vg2.SNAP
..
..
vg10.SNAP

Is it possible to do it one shot. I can do it using vi or sed 1 field at a time.
Thanks and regards
Prashant

awk '/^vg/{print $0".SNAP"}' < inputfile > outputfile

This assume that NO other lines start with lowercase vg.

OK sorry..I put it wrongly.
I have

/dev/vg1/rv... /dev/vg1/rv...
/dev/vg2/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
..
..
..
/dev/vg10/rv.../dev/vg2/rv...

Like this above. I didnt put rv completly, they are raw vols. I want to change ENVNAME[1-10] to
ENVNAME[1-10].SNAP (please note (ENV and env are different.)

Thanks
Prashant

Prashant,

Lets say your filename is /tmp/test. You can use one command to replace this.

sed 's/ENVNAME\>[1-9]/&.SNAP/' /tmp/test

Prashant,

One correction you may have issue with vg10. You can use

sed 's/ENVNAME\>[1-9][0]/&.SNAP/' /tmp/test | sed 's/ENVNAME\>[1-9]/&.SNAP/' | sed 's/\.SNAP0/0/'

Hope this helps.

Prashant,

I used your format in /tmp/test file

/dev/vg1/rv... /dev/vg1/rv...
/dev/vg2/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg3/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg4/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg5/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg6/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg7/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg8/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg9/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg10/rv.../dev/vg2/rv...

And I get following output with

#sed 's/ENVNAME\>[1-9][0]/&.SNAP/' /tmp/test | sed 's/ENVNAME\>[1-9]/&.SNAP/' | sed 's/\.SNAP0/0/'

/dev/vg1.SNAP/rv... /dev/vg1/rv...
/dev/vg2.SNAP/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg3.SNAP/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg4.SNAP/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg5.SNAP/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg6.SNAP/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg7.SNAP/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg8.SNAP/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg9.SNAP/rv... /dev/vg2/rv...
/dev/vg10.SNAP/rv.../dev/vg2/rv...

Please let me know if this is not your expected output, or if you are having syntax error with above command?

I am attaching file here. I have done 10,11,12,13 manually. Still it will be helpful for me if there is a direct way. I dont have errors, it is generating same output as input.
Thanks and regards

A one line perl call-

perl -pie 's{(/vg......\d+)/}{$1.SNAP/}' yourfile

This will apply the change directly to "yourfile" so you may want a backup of it before trying this routine. Since your ENVNAME may have digits, I'm assuming that they are 6 characters long.

The perl command throws error
( not expected and also if I remove that 1 not set..

Thx

Looks like I need to seperate the options-

perl -p -i -e 's{(/vg......\d+)/}{$1.SNAP/}' yourfile

perl -p -i -e s{(/vgCTSPR\D+)/}{$1.SNAP/} EC3TCD_final.map_file.orig
sh: Syntax error: `(' is not expected.

You may want to copy the script from here, rather then typing. There are curly braces which kind of look like parenthesis.

perl -p -i -e 's{(/vg......\d+)/}{$1.SNAP/}' yourfile

Thanks

Re: Changing required field in file

Rodney Hills — Mon, 14 Mar 2005 13:46:19 GMT

That's odd, I ran it against your file and got-

/dev/vgCTSPRD-log/rv500-logb2-10 /dev/vgEC3TCD3.SNAP/rv500-logb2-10 510976
/dev/vgCTSPRD1.SNAP/rv20-cntrlb-1 /dev/vgEC3TCD1/rv20-cntrlb-1
/dev/vgCTSPRD2.SNAP/rv20-cntrlb-2 /dev/vgEC3TCD2/rv20-cntrlb-2
/dev/vgCTSPRD3.SNAP/rv1000-17 /dev/vgEC3TCD3/rv1000-17 1024000
/dev/vgCTSPRD4.SNAP/rv1000-25 /dev/vgEC3TCD4/rv1000-25 1024000
/dev/vgCTSPRD5.SNAP/rv2000-0362 /dev/vgEC3TCD5/rv2000-0362 2048000

Which is what I thought what you were looking for.

Re: Changing required field in file

If you don't want lines with "log" changed, then do the following-

perl -p -i -e 's{(^/dev/vg......\d+)/}{$1.SNAP/}' yourfile

Re: Changing required field in file

Prashant Zanwar_4 — Mon, 14 Mar 2005 14:01:06 GMT

Yeah I wanted the output like above. Thanks a lot for your help. Is it then difference in perl version or so? Not sure, but only changes lines with "log", i want o/p exactly like above.
Thanks
Prashant

Prashant Zanwar_4 — Mon, 14 Mar 2005 14:06:04 GMT

Sorry for that, perl statement did the trick this time. I was surely doing something wrong here I guess. I will change lines with -log using vi, not a issue.
Also I got it working using awk..so one more thing..
grep -i ^/ EC3TCD_final.map_file.orig | awk -F/ '{ print "/dev/" $3 ".SNAP/" $4 " " "/dev/" $6 "/" $7 }'

Thanks all for excellant help.
Best regards
Prashant
