/ssg/ - Shell Scripting General: Sed & Awk edition

Stop trying to force another general. If you want to make a fucking thread about this, just make a thread about this. Or even just post in /dpt/.
It's pretty pathetic that you spent time preparing this bloated OP that nobody is going to read.

There are two separate generals for in ear monitors and headphones and scripting is forced?

Yes. Jow Forums has too many fucking generals, and many of them are way too specific.
Unless a general is about a wide topic that will always have potential new discussion (e.g. /dpt/) or is otherwise containing a lot of otherwise annoying/useless threads in one place (e.g. /sqt/), it's a fucking useless general. Anything ultra-specific or otherwise devolves into a circlejerking chatroom is a bad general.

Jow Forums is broken already user. Just lets have fun.

i like this general, way better than another apple thread

ill post in here, its the best general on this board

I like this thread.

me too

Good thread.

GTFO

PowerShell makes it unnecessary. You can just pass complex objects from 1 script to another.

>powershell
no

Anyone using mksh? I have it installed but I need a resource to compare features. Stupid simple stuff like the prompt and history.

#! /bin/bash

sleep 2 &&
scrot -s -q 100 "$HOME/.scrots/temp.png";
if [ ! -z $1 ]; then
convert -liquid-rescale 200% "$HOME/.scrots/temp.png" "$HOME/.scrots/temp.png";
fi
xclip -i -selection clipboard -t image/png < "$HOME/.scrots/temp.png";

script I wrote that copies a region from scrot into the clip board. its basically equivalent to snip tool, or sceen print & paint. could be more inspired

Generals are a fucking stupid idea brought by redditards and other scum. Jow Forums is not a forum.

doesnt work faggot

whats a cd ../..

Mandatory.
Screenshots with imagemagick
import -window root png:$HOME/x_$(date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S").png

Record desktop and stop recording if you bind it to the same key
killall -INT avconv 2>/dev/null || avconv -f x11grab -r 10 -s $(xrandr | grep '*' | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2) -i :0.0 $HOME/x_$(date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S").mp4 &

I bind both to the print screen and shit using xbindkeys.

Sorry, forgot to say the desktop recording is using avconv. Just change it to ffmpeg, is the same shit.

without generals Jow Forums would be way worse than it already it is
please dont swear

Trying to make a simple script to get the resolution and pass it to mplayer and watch videos on the framebuffer.
exiftool -ImageSize "$1" | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f4 | tr x '\n' | sort -n | tail -n1
Not sure if it works as good as I think, I need the highest resolution that exiftool can give.

Yes.

Be thankful the other guy asked politely not to swear or I would be all over mocking you.

Microshitters btfo

i like shell script and anime

works great. you probably need to make the ~/.scrots folder, or rename it to whatever you want. dont be a retard on the internet

why
[ ! -z $1 ]
instead of
[ -n $1 ]
?

you are shit resource, TLDP is leet af

Is there a way to copy a .jpg image using xclip? I want to use ranger as my file manager exclusively, but the script I wrote only works with png
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
filename = ARGV[0] || abort('[!] Please specify an image.')
format = File.extname(filename).tr('.', '').to_sym[/png/] || 'jpeg'

system "xclip -selection clipboard -t image/#{format} -i #{filename}"

No.

#!/bin/sh
./python3 myscript.py

Pythonisas everyone

no reason, its just what I know

Redpill me on sed. I have literally never once found an excuse to learn it, I almost always use awk instead. Is it just a matter of preference, or "the right tool for the job" where being familiar with one but not the other makes it right for almost all jobs, or are there really tasks where awk is strictly inferior to sed?

Sed is simpler for 1 off text manipulation tasks. It’s very readable and easy to test outputs before writing inline (if that’s what you’re trying to achieve). You should be able to do everything that sed does in awk, but with MUCH more control

It's full of bad practices senpai.

Friendly reminder to write portable shebangs.
#!/bin/sh for POSIX shell
#!/usr/bin/env bash for Bash, and similarly for other non-standard interpreters.

...

What are the best resources for pure shell scripting, just sh?

Friendly reminder that writing portable scripts is for cuckolds. Be proud of your system and don't bother about shit systems. If people want to run your script, they have to switch to a superior system.

True, all scripts should be written for rc shell on plan9.

It only works with png.

MacOS has dropped bash anyway due to GPL panic, zsh is the new standard shell.

`bash: Based: command not found`

Who makes these pics of waifus with tech books?

I just want to say thanks.

Thanks user. Appreciate ya.

Tagged gallery selector I made using dmenu. The info files are generated automatically by my download scripts.
#!/bin/sh
HDIR="$HOME/bin/data"

get_info () {
while read line ; do
if [ "$HDIR" = "$line" ]; then
continue
fi
FOLDER="$(echo "$line" | rev | cut -d '/' -f1 | rev)"
INFOFILE="$line/info.tsv"
if [ -f "$INFOFILE" ]; then
ARTIST="$(cat "$INFOFILE" | grep "^Artist" | cut -f2)"
NAME="$(cat "$INFOFILE" | grep "^Name" | cut -f2)"
TAGS="$(cat "$INFOFILE" | grep "^Tag" | cut -f2 | paste -sd ',' -)"
echo "$FOLDER - $NAME [$ARTIST] [$TAGS]"
continue
fi
echo "$FOLDER"
done
}

find "$HDIR" -type d | get_info | dmenu -i -l 20 | cut -d ' ' -f1 | xargs -I {} sxiv "$HDIR/{}"

Totally useless yes. The only thing I can think of to make a regular thread about a specific topic is to make a weekly or monthly or something like that. I can imagine there would be an okay amount of discussion for slightly more niche topics if there only was a thread at a certain time interval. I can imagine an Emacs weekly being nice for example.

dl imagemagick and add a line to convert from png to jpg or vice versa.
