Windows 10 Command Prompt - How to unzip, sed & cat in windows cmd? - cmd

What's the best way and how to run the below commands in windows cmd? I'm running them in Ubuntu ... but how to do so in Windows?
Ubuntu terminal:
sudo unzip '/var/www/html/*20180301.zip' -d '/var/www/html/';
sudo sed -i '1,2d;$d' /var/www/html/*20180301.TXT;
sudo cat /var/www/html/*20180301.TXT > /var/www/html/records_all20180301.txt;
Windows cmd:
?

Sorry for my bad answer :(
You can use the following commands to read text files
type text.txt
more text.txt
To write to a text file, use
"text" > text.txt
I don't know about the second command.
Windows doesn't come with a command-line file zipping tool so you have to use other methods.

"bash -c" on Windows 10 and command not working due to quotes

I need to split a *.zst file into multiple smaller *.gz files using a Bash command that works in Windows cmd (using cmder):
bash
Then when Linux mode runs:
unzstd --long=31 -c /mnt/c/file.zst | split -C 200000000 -d -a4 - file-chunk --filter='gzip > /mnt/c/$FILE.gz'
However I need to run it as part of a cmd script, so my solution is to use bash -c to run it from within Windows cmd :
(some cmd Windows based)
& (bash -c "unzstd --long=31 -c /mnt/c/file.zst | split -C 200000000 -d -a4 - file-chunk --filter='gzip > /mnt/c/$FILE.gz'")
& (some cmd Windows based)
But this does not work : even if I don't get any error, an empty ".gz" file with no name is created in the folder and that's it.
I think something unexpected happens with the single / double quotes, but not sure what to do. I tried to escape them with 'backslashes \ ' but nothing worked.

bash: C:/Program: No such file or directory

I am new to Docker, Debezium, Bash, and Kafka. I am attempting to run the Debezium tutorial/example for MSSQL Server on Windows 10 here:
https://github.com/debezium/debezium-examples/blob/master/tutorial/README.md#using-sql-server
I am able to start the topology, per step one. However, when I go to step two and execute the following command:
cat debezium-sqlserver-init/inventory.sql | docker exec -i tutorial_sqlserver_1 bash -c '/opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -U sa -P $SA_PASSWORD'
I get the following error:
bash: C:/Program: No such file or directory
I do not have the foggiest idea why it would even drag C:/Program in to this. I do not see it in the command nor do I see it in the *.sql file. Does anyone know why this is happening and what the fix is?
Note 1: I am already in the current directory where this command should be runnable and there are no spaces in the folder/file path
Note 2: I am running the commands in Git Bash
When using set -x to log how the command is run, there's still no C:/Program anywhere in it, as can be seen by the following log:
$ cat debezium-sqlserver-init/inventory.sql | docker exec -i tutorial_sqlserver_1 bash -c '/opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -U sa -P $SA_PASSWORD'
+ cat debezium-sqlserver-init/inventory.sql
+ docker exec -i tutorial_sqlserver_1 bash -c '/opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -U sa -P $SA_PASSWORD'
bash: C:/Program: No such file or directory
I had a similar problem yesterday, the solution was adding a backslash before the absolute path, like :
cat debezium-sqlserver-init/inventory.sql | docker exec -i tutorial_sqlserver_1 bash -c '\/opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -U sa -P $SA_PASSWORD'
\/opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd prevents conversion to Windows path.

Edit an privileged file via bash

I need to edit an privileged file using bash on Ubuntu 14.04
This simple command is not working:
sudo echo $someText >> $privilegedFile
I get this error:
Permission denied
I have no idea what is wrong with it.
Thanks.
The shell processes the redirection before it runs sudo, so $privilegedFile is still opened using the current user's permissions.
One workaround is to open the file with a program run by sudo rather than using redirections.
echo "$someText" | sudo tee -a "$privilegedFile"
Another is to start an entirely new shell with sudo and execute the full command in that shell.
sudo sh -c "echo '$someText' >> '$privilegedFile'"
You should try this:
sudo sh -c "echo $text >> $file"
do
sudo chmod u+xrw FILE
and
sudo nano FILE
Don't use echo for editing, try nano, gedit or vi.

Bash script gets printed instead of being executed

This question is similar to this one: https://serverfault.com/questions/342697/prevent-sudo-apt-get-etc-from-swallowing-pasted-input-to-stdin but the answer is not satisfying (appending && to each line of bash script is not elegant) and does not explain why some users can paste/execute multiple subsequent apt-get install -y commands and others can't because stdout is swollen by the next command.
I have a script my_script.sh:
sudo apt-get install -y graphicsmagick
sudo apt-get install -y libgraphicsmagick++1-dev
...
It can have only two lines or more of sudo apt-get install stuff. The libraries (graphicsmagick, etc.) doesn't matter, it can be any library.
When I copy this script and paste it's contents to bash or just execute it like this:
cat my_script.sh | sudo -i bash
then for some reason only the first line (graphicsmagick) gets executed and the rest is just printed to the console. It happens only with sudo apt-get install -y, other scripts, which doesn't contain this command behave normally.
If I change bash to sh (which is dash) I get expected behaviour:
cat my_script.sh | sudo -i sh
Can you explain why this happens?
When answering, can you please avoid this questions/comments:
Why are you doing it this way?
Piping to your bash is not safe
Some other aspects are not safe or hackish
I just want to know why bash doesn't work as I would expect and sh does.
PS. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04, sh is dash as you can see here:
vagrant#vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:/tmp$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Feb 19 2014 /bin/sh -> dash
Bash and dash simply behave different when using -i flag.
Bash always goes to interactive mode even when stdin is not a terminal.
Dash on the other hand will not go into interactive mode, even with -i flag.
Probably need the -s option
If the -s option is present, or if no arguments remain after option
processing, then commands are read from the standard input. This option allows
the positional parameters to be set when invoking an interactive shell.

curl -s http://foo.com/bar.sh | sudo -i bash -s

Bash copy verbose update in Solaris

I'm writing some small bash scripts for copiyng certain files/directories in GNU/Linux and Solaris. Everything is OK in Linux, but cp command hasn't the same options in Linux and Solaris.
Copy command is something like this:
cp -ruv $source $dest
Unfortunately I don't know how to achieve copy verbose and copy update in Solaris. Any idea?
Thanks
Unfortunately, cp under Solaris doesn't have that option. man solaris should reveal that.
Are you comfortable making your script depend on rsync?
Or, if possible, you can install the coreutils package and use GNU's cp.
I ran into a similar issue myself and found that gcp takes care of it too. I've made installing coreutils part of my standard system setup.
I run these on a new Solaris install:
pkgadd -d http://get.opencsw.org/now
pkgutil -U
pkgutil -i -y coreutils
pkgutil -a vim
pkgutil -i -y vim
pkgutil -i -y findutils
Remember to add the path - and the documentation path - to your profile, and possibly to the system profile at /etc/profile:
# Set the program path
PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/sfw/sbin:/usr/openwin/bin:/opt/csw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local
export PATH
# Set the documentation path
MANPATH="$MANPATH:/usr/share/man:/opt/sfw/man:/opt/csw/man"
export MANPATH
It sounds like you might be new to Solaris - as I am relatively new. I also do these, which shouldn't affect anything.
I set VIM as the default editor instead of VI - it's compatible, but has more features, including ANSI color, and some terminal emulators will pass your mouse clicks and scrolling through for even more flexibility:
# Set the default editor
EDITOR=vim
export EDITOR
Then if you are still using the default prompt that doesn't say anything, you might want to add some information - this version requires a Bash shell:
# Set the command prompt, which includes the username, host name, and the current path.
PS1='\u#\h:\w>'
export PS1
To recreate verbose mode, you can tee the output to the controlling terminal (/dev/tty) while the stdoout output of tee itself is passed to cp via xargs.
find /some/source/directory -type f | \
tee /dev/tty | xargs -I {} cp {} /copy/to/this-directory/
Replace the find with whatever you like, so long as it passes the paths to the files to be copied through the pipe to tee.
Tested on a standard Solaris 10 system without extra GNU utils.
