Write a short program that prints each number from 1 to 100 on a new line.
• For each multiple of 3, print "Fizz" instead of the number.
• For each multiple of 5, print "Buzz" instead of the number.
• For numbers which are multiples of both 3 and 5, print "FizzBuzz" instead of the
number.
This what i have so far:
#!/bin/bash
*for i in {0..20..5}
do
echo "Number: $i"
done*
but i get this:
Number: {0..20..5}
Need help
If it's on a mac, use $(seq 0 5 20) to get the same result.
Using GNU sed
$ for ((i=1;i<=100;i++)); do echo "$i"; done | sed -E '0~3s/[0-9]+/Fizz/;0~5s/[0-9]+|$/Buzz/'

I am trying to read values from a file and print specific items into a variable which I will use later.
cat /dir1/file1 | while read blmbline2
do
BLMBFILE2=`print $blmbline2 | awk '{$1=""; print $0}'`
echo $BLMBFILE2
done
When I run that same code at the command line, it runs as expected, but, when I run it in a bash script called testme.sh, I get this error:
./testme.sh: line 3: print: command not found
If I run print by itself at the command prompt, I don't get an error (just a blank line).
If I run "bash" and then print at the command prompt, I get command not found.
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can someone suggest?
updated: I see some other posts that say to use echo or printf? Is there a difference I need to be concerned with in using one of those in bash?
Since awk can read files, you may be able to do away with the cat | while read and just use awk. Using a sample file containing:
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6
Declare your bash array variable and populate with the output from awk:
arr=() ; arr=($(awk '{$1=""; print $0}' /dir1/file1))
Use the following to display array size and contents:
printf "array length: %d\narray contents: %s\n" "${#arr[#]}" "${arr[*]}"
Output:
array length: 30
array contents: 2 3 4 5 6 2 3 4 5 6 2 3 4 5 6 2 3 4 5 6 2 3 4 5 6 2 3 4 5 6
Change print to echo in your shell script. With printf you can format the data and with echo it will print the entire line of the file. Also, create an array so you can store multiple items:
BLMBFILE2=()
while IFS= read -r -d $'\0'
do
BLMBFILE2+=(`echo $REPLY | awk '{$1=""; print $0}'`)
echo $BLMBFILE2
done < <(cat /dir1/file1)
echo "Items found:"
for value in "${BLMBFILE2[#]}"
do
echo $value
done

I have for example a user with a set of numbers. How can I make bash add them together?
Example in one go the user enters
(The amount of numbers they enter is up to them and it is unknown)
bash file 3 1 5 2 2 4
How can I make bash return 17 directly from that example?
I tried
#!/usr/bin/env sh
sum=0
while read number && [ -n "$number" ]; do
sum=$((sum + ${number/#-}))
echo "$sum"
done
But this is not clean and it is returning
$ bash file
3
3
1
4
5
9
2
11
2
13
4
17
I instead want the user to only place their numbers in 1 go and not be there to put more and more numbers
Instead of having them excute the command like I have it like
bash file
1
3
4
etc
instead I want to do it in 1 go
bash file 1 3 5 6
How?
You can loop through all script arguments and calculate sum:
#!/usr/bin/env sh
sum=0
for i in "$#"; do
sum=$(( $sum + $i ))
done
echo $sum
Running with your example:
$ bash sum 3 1 5 2 2 4
17
I have a text file containing a line of various numbers (i.e. 2 4 1 7 12 1 4 4 3 1 1 2)
I'm trying to get the index for each occurrence of 1. This is my code for what I'm currently doing (subtracting each index value by 1 since my indexing starts at 0).
eq='0'
gradvec=()
count=0
length=0
for item in `cat file`
do
((count++))
if (("$item"=="$eq"))
then
((length++))
if (("$length"=='1'))
then
gradvec=$((count -1))
else
gradvec=$gradvec' '$((count - 1))
fi
fi
done
Although the code works, I was wondering if there was a shorter way of doing this? The result is the gradvec variable being
2 5 9 10
Consider this as the input file:
$ cat file
2 4 1 7 12 1
4 4 3 1 1 2
To get the indices of every occurrence of 1 in the input file:
$ awk '$1==1 {print NR-1}' RS='[[:space:]]+' file
2
5
9
10
How it works:
$1==1 {print NR-1}
If the value in any record is 1, print the record number minus 1.
RS='[[:space:]]+'
Define the record separator as one or more of any kind of space.
For a file that contains entries similar to as follows:
foo 1 6 0
fam 5 11 3
wam 7 23 8
woo 2 8 4
kaz 6 4 9
faz 5 8 8
How would you replace the nth field of every mth line with the same element using bash or awk?
For example, if n = 1 and m = 3 and the element = wot, the output would be:
foo 1 6 0
fam 5 11 3
wot 7 23 8
woo 2 8 4
kaz 6 4 9
wot 5 8 8
I understand you can call / print every mth line using e.g.
awk 'NR%7==0' file
So far I have tried to keep this in memory but to no avail... I need to keep the rest of the file as well.
I would prefer answers using bash or awk, but sed solutions would also be helpful. I'm a beginner in all three. Please explain your solution.
awk -v m=3 -v n=1 -v el='wot' 'NR % m == 0 { $n = el } 1' file
Note, however, that the inter-field whitespace is not guaranteed to be preserved as-is, because awk splits a line into fields by any run of whitespace; as written, the output fields of modified lines will be separated by a single space.
If your input fields are consistently separated by 2 spaces, however, you can effectively preserve the input whitespace by adding -F' ' -v OFS=' ' to the awk invocation.
-v m=3 -v n=1 -v el='wot' defines Awk variables m, n, and el
NR % m == 0 is a pattern (condition) that evaluates to true for every m-th line.
{ $n = el } is the associated action that replaces the nth field of the input line with variable el, causing the line to be rebuilt, implicitly using OFS, the output-field separator, which defaults to a space.
1 is a common Awk shorthand for printing the (possibly modified) input line at hand.
Great little exercise. While I would probably lean toward an awk solution, in bash you can also rely on parameter expansion with substring replacement to replace the nth field of every mth line. Essentially, you can read every line, preserving whitespace, then check your line count, e.g. if c is your line counter and m your variable for mth line, you could use:
if (( $((c % m )) == 0)) ## test for mth line
If the line is a replacement line, you can read each word into an array after restoring default word-splitting and then use your array element index n-1 to provide the replacement (e.g. ${line/find/replace} with ${line/"${array[$((n-1))]}"/replace}).
If it isn't a replacement line, simply output the line unchanged. A short example could be similar to the following (to which you can add additional validations as required)
#!/bin/bash
[ -n "$1" -a -r "$1" ] || { ## filename given an readable
printf "error: insufficient or unreadable input.\n"
exit 1
}
n=${2:-1} ## variables with default n=1, m=3, e=wot
m=${3:-3}
e=${4:-wot}
c=1 ## line count
while IFS= read -r line; do
if (( $((c % m )) == 0)) ## test for mth line
then
IFS=$' \t\n'
a=( $line ) ## split into array
IFS=
echo "${line/"${a[$((n-1))]}"/$e}" ## nth replaced with e
else
echo "$line" ## otherwise just output line
fi
((c++)) ## advance counter
done <"$1"
Example Use/Output
n=1, m=3, e=wot
$ bash replmn.sh dat/repl.txt
foo 1 6 0
fam 5 11 3
wot 7 23 8
woo 2 8 4
kaz 6 4 9
wot 5 8 8
n=1, m=2, e=baz
$ bash replmn.sh dat/repl.txt 1 2 baz
foo 1 6 0
baz 5 11 3
wam 7 23 8
baz 2 8 4
kaz 6 4 9
baz 5 8 8
n=3, m=2, e=99
$ bash replmn.sh dat/repl.txt 3 2 99
foo 1 6 0
fam 5 99 3
wam 7 23 8
woo 2 99 4
kaz 6 4 9
faz 5 99 8
An awk solution is shorter (and avoids problems with duplicate occurrences of the replacement string in $line), but both would need similar validation of field existence, etc.. Learn from both and let me know if you have any questions.
Is it possible to do something like this in bash with cut:
strLf="JJT9879YGTT"
strZ=(2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 11)
numZ=${#strZ[#]}
for ((ctZ=0; ctZ<${numZ}; ctZ++))
do
lenThis=${strZ[${ctZ}]}
fetch=$(echo "${strLf}" | cut -c 1-${lenThis})
done
Through successive loops, I want ${fetch} to contain "JJ" "JJT" "JJT98" "JJT987" "JJT9879YG" "JJT9879YGTT", etc, according to the indexes given by strZ.
Or is there some other way I need to be doing this?
You can use ${string:position:length} to get the length characters of $string starting in position.
$ s="JJT9879YGTT"
$ echo ${s:0:2}
JJ
$ echo ${s:0:3}
JJT
And also using variables:
$ t=5
$ echo ${s:0:$t}
JJT98
So if you put all these values in an array, you can loop through them and use its value as a length argument saying ${string:0:length}:
strLf="JJT9879YGTT"
strZ=(2 3 5 6 9 11)
for i in ${strZ[#]}; do
echo "${strLf:0:$i}"
done
For your given string it returns this to me:
$ for i in ${strZ[#]}; do echo "${strLf:0:$i}"; done
JJ
JJT
JJT98
JJT987
JJT9879YG
JJT9879YGTT
words="JJT9879YGTT"
strZ=(2 3 5 6 9 11)
for i in "${strZ[#]}"
do
echo ${words:0:$i}
done
Output:
JJ
JJT
JJT98
JJT987
JJT9879YG
JJT9879YGTT
DEMO
Realised my mistake - I was using commas in the array to identify elements.
So instead of what I was using:
strZ=(2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 11)
I have to use:
strZ=(2 3 5 6 9 11)
It works for cut as well.
