Grep search for binary data - grep

Why does this command work
echo -ne "\x74\x79\xf4"|grep -aPo "\x74\x79"
and this doesn't?
echo -ne "\x74\x79\xf4"|grep -aPo "\x74\x79\xf4"

The following will work:
echo -ne "\x74\x79\xC3\xB4" | grep -aPo "\x74\x79\xf4"
# ^^^^^^^
echo -ne "\x74\x79\u00F4" | grep -aPo "\x74\x79\xf4"
# ^^^^^^
The \xF4 is not a single byte, it consists of two bytes, C3 and B4. Thus, to encode it properly in the echo command, you need to use \xC3\xB4 sequence.
With \u00F4, you specify the code unit.

Print file name if grep finds multiple occurrences of a string in file, else exit on failure

File1 contains
hello
hello
I need to write a grep command to print the filename if this file contains more than one "hello". Otherwise, I need grep to exit on failure.
So far I have
grep -c "hello" File1 | grep -v :0
but it outputs
2. How do I get the desired output, which should either be filename File1 or no output at all (from what I understand, no match is a non zero exit code for grep)
with GNU grep for -z:
grep -lz 'hello.*hello' file
e.g.:
$ seq 15 | grep -lz '3.*3'
(standard input)
$ echo $?
0
$ seq 5 | grep -lz '3.*3'
$ echo $?
1
Like this:
#!/bin/bash
count=$(grep -c "hello" "$1")
if ((count > 1)); then
echo "$1"
else
exit 1
fi
Usage:
chmod +x script.sh
./script.sh File1
Explanations:
((...)) is an arithmetic command, which returns an exit status of 0 if the expression is nonzero, or 1 if the expression is zero. Also used as a synonym for "let", if side effects (assignments) are needed. See http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ArithmeticExpression
Using perl in a shell:
perl -0 -le '
my $filename = $ARGV[0];
print $filename if grep { /hello\nhello/ } <>
' file

How to grep lines non-repeatedly for same command?

I have a space-separated file that looks like this:
$ cat in_file
GCF_000046845.1_ASM4684v1_protein.faa WP_004920342.1 Chal_sti_synt_C
GCF_000046845.1_ASM4684v1_protein.faa WP_004927566.1 Chal_sti_synt_C
GCF_000046845.1_ASM4684v1_protein.faa WP_004919950.1 FAD_binding_3
GCF_000046845.1_ASM4684v1_protein.faa WP_004920342.1 FAD_binding_3
I am using the following shell script utilizing grep to search for strings:
$ cat search_script.sh
grep "GCF_000046845.1_ASM4684v1_protein.faa WP_004920342.1" Pfam_anntn_temp.txt
grep "GCF_000046845.1_ASM4684v1_protein.faa WP_004920342.1" Pfam_anntn_temp.txt
The problem is that I want each grep command to return only the first instance of the string it finds exclusive of the previous identical grep command's output.
I need an output which would look like this:
$ cat out_file
GCF_000046845.1_ASM4684v1_protein.faa WP_004920342.1 Chal_sti_synt_C
GCF_000046845.1_ASM4684v1_protein.faa WP_004920342.1 FAD_binding_3
in which line 1 is exclusively the output of the first grep command and line 2 is exclusively the output of the second grep command. How do I do it?
P.S. I am running this on a big file (>125,000 lines). So, search_script.sh is mostly composed of unique grep commands. It is the identical commands' execution that is messing up my downstream analysis.
I'm assuming you are generating search_script.sh automatically from the contents of in_file. If you can count how many times you'll repeat the same grep command you can just use grep once and use head, for example if you know you'll be using it 2 times:
grep "foo" bar.txt | head -2
Will output the first 2 occurrences of "foo" in bar.txt.
If you have to do the grep commands separately, for example if you have other code in between the grep commands, you can mix head and tail:
grep "foo" bar.txt | head -1 | tail -1
Some other commands...
grep "foo" bar.txt | head -2 | tail -1
head -n displays the first n lines of the input
tail -n displays the last n lines of the input
If you really MUST always use the same command, but ensure that the outputs always differ, the only way I can think of to achieve this is using temporary files and a complex sequence of commands:
cat foo.bar.txt.tmp 2>&1 | xargs -I xx echo "| grep -v \\'xx\\' " | tr '\n' ' ' | xargs -I xx sh -c "grep 'foo' bar.txt xx | head -1 | tee -a foo.bar.txt.tmp"
So to explain this command, given foo as a search string and bar.txt as the filename, then foo.bar.txt.tmp is a unique name for a temporary file. The temporary file will hold the strings that have already been output:
cat foo.bar.txt.tmp 2>&1 : outputs the contents of the temporary file. If none is present, will output an error message to stdout, (important because if the output was empty the rest of the command wouldn't work.)
xargs -I xx echo "| grep -v \\'xx\\' " adds | grep -v to the start of each line in the temporary file, grep -v something excludes lines that include something.
tr '\n' ' ' replaces newlines with spaces, to have on a single string a sequence of grep -vs.
xargs -I xx sh -c "grep 'foo' bar.txt xx | head -1 | tee -a foo.bar.txt.tmp" runs a new command, grep 'foo' bar.txt xx | head -1 | tee -a foo.bar.txt.tmp, replacing xx with the previous output. xx should be the sequence of grep -vs that exclude previous outputs.
head -1 makes sure only one line is output at a time
tee -a foo.bar.txt.tmp appends the new output to the temporary file.
Just be sure to clear the temporary files, rm *.tmp, at the end of your script.
If I am getting question right and you want to remove duplicates based on last field of each line then try following(this should be easy task for awk).
awk '!a[$NF]++' Input_file

RedHat Memory Used High

Looking for some help if you will..
I have a virtual machine on RedHat 6.5 with 32gb memory.
A free is showing 24.6gb used, 8.2gb free. Only 418mb is cached, 1.8gb buffers.
Executed a top and sorted by virtual used, and I can only account for about 6gb of that 24.6gb used.
A "ps aux" doesn't show any processes that could be taking the memory.
I am flummoxed and looking for some advice on where I can look to see whats taking the memory?
Any help would be appreciated.

I am going to take a wild stab at this. Without having access to the machine or additional information troubleshooting this will be difficult.
The /tmp file system is special in that it exists entirely in memory. There are a couple others that are like this but /tmp is a special flower. Check the disk usage on this directory and you may see where your memory is getting consumed. ( du -sh /tmp )

Determining word count using grep (in cases where there are multiple words in a line)

Is it possible to determine the number of times a particular word appears using grep
I tried the "-c" option but this returns the number of matching lines the particular word appears in
For example if I have a file with
some words and matchingWord and matchingWord
and then another matchingWord
running grep on this file for "matchingWord" with the "-c" option will only return 2 ...
note: this is the grep command line utility on a standard unix os
grep -o string file will return all matching occurrences of string. You can then do grep -o string file | wc -l to get the count you're looking for.
I think that using grep -i -o string file | wc -l should give you the correct output, what happens when you do grep -i -o string file on the file?
You can simply count words (-w) with wc program:
> echo "foo foo" | grep -o "foo" | wc -w
> 2

Parse URL in shell script

I have url like:
sftp://user#host.net/some/random/path
I want to extract user, host and path from this string. Any part can be random length.
[EDIT 2019]
This answer is not meant to be a catch-all, works for everything solution it was intended to provide a simple alternative to the python based version and it ended up having more features than the original.
It answered the basic question in a bash-only way and then was modified multiple times by myself to include a hand full of demands by commenters. I think at this point however adding even more complexity would make it unmaintainable. I know not all things are straight forward (checking for a valid port for example requires comparing hostport and host) but I would rather not add even more complexity.
[Original answer]
Assuming your URL is passed as first parameter to the script:
#!/bin/bash
# extract the protocol
proto="$(echo $1 | grep :// | sed -e's,^\(.*://\).*,\1,g')"
# remove the protocol
url="$(echo ${1/$proto/})"
# extract the user (if any)
user="$(echo $url | grep # | cut -d# -f1)"
# extract the host and port
hostport="$(echo ${url/$user#/} | cut -d/ -f1)"
# by request host without port
host="$(echo $hostport | sed -e 's,:.*,,g')"
# by request - try to extract the port
port="$(echo $hostport | sed -e 's,^.*:,:,g' -e 's,.*:\([0-9]*\).*,\1,g' -e 's,[^0-9],,g')"
# extract the path (if any)
path="$(echo $url | grep / | cut -d/ -f2-)"
echo "url: $url"
echo " proto: $proto"
echo " user: $user"
echo " host: $host"
echo " port: $port"
echo " path: $path"
I must admit this is not the cleanest solution but it doesn't rely on another scripting
language like perl or python.
(Providing a solution using one of them would produce cleaner results ;) )
Using your example the results are:
url: user#host.net/some/random/path
proto: sftp://
user: user
host: host.net
port:
path: some/random/path
This will also work for URLs without a protocol/username or path.
In this case the respective variable will contain an empty string.
[EDIT]
If your bash version won't cope with the substitutions (${1/$proto/}) try this:
#!/bin/bash
# extract the protocol
proto="$(echo $1 | grep :// | sed -e's,^\(.*://\).*,\1,g')"
# remove the protocol -- updated
url=$(echo $1 | sed -e s,$proto,,g)
# extract the user (if any)
user="$(echo $url | grep # | cut -d# -f1)"
# extract the host and port -- updated
hostport=$(echo $url | sed -e s,$user#,,g | cut -d/ -f1)
# by request host without port
host="$(echo $hostport | sed -e 's,:.*,,g')"
# by request - try to extract the port
port="$(echo $hostport | sed -e 's,^.*:,:,g' -e 's,.*:\([0-9]*\).*,\1,g' -e 's,[^0-9],,g')"
# extract the path (if any)
path="$(echo $url | grep / | cut -d/ -f2-)"
The above, refined (added password and port parsing), and working in /bin/sh:
# extract the protocol
proto="`echo $DATABASE_URL | grep '://' | sed -e's,^\(.*://\).*,\1,g'`"
# remove the protocol
url=`echo $DATABASE_URL | sed -e s,$proto,,g`
# extract the user and password (if any)
userpass="`echo $url | grep # | cut -d# -f1`"
pass=`echo $userpass | grep : | cut -d: -f2`
if [ -n "$pass" ]; then
user=`echo $userpass | grep : | cut -d: -f1`
else
user=$userpass
fi
# extract the host -- updated
hostport=`echo $url | sed -e s,$userpass#,,g | cut -d/ -f1`
port=`echo $hostport | grep : | cut -d: -f2`
if [ -n "$port" ]; then
host=`echo $hostport | grep : | cut -d: -f1`
else
host=$hostport
fi
# extract the path (if any)
path="`echo $url | grep / | cut -d/ -f2-`"
Posted b/c I needed it, so I wrote it (based on #Shirkin's answer, obviously), and I figured someone else might appreciate it.
This solution in principle works the same as Adam Ryczkowski's, in this thread - but has improved regular expression based on RFC3986, (with some changes) and fixes some errors (e.g. userinfo can contain '_' character). This can also understand relative URIs (e.g. to extract query or fragment).
# !/bin/bash
# Following regex is based on https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#appendix-B with
# additional sub-expressions to split authority into userinfo, host and port
#

parse_authority () {

}
parse_user () {

}
parse_host () {

}
parse_port () {

[[ "$#" =~ $URI_REGEX ]] && echo "${BASH_REMATCH[13]}"
}
parse_fragment () {
[[ "$#" =~ $URI_REGEX ]] && echo "${BASH_REMATCH[15]}"
}
Using Python (best tool for this job, IMHO):
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
from urlparse import urlparse
uri = os.environ['NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI']
result = urlparse(uri)
user, host = result.netloc.split('#')
path = result.path
print('user=', user)
print('host=', host)
print('path=', path)
Further reading:
os.environ
urlparse.urlparse()
If you really want to do it in shell, you can do something as simple as the following by using awk. This requires knowing how many fields you will actually be passed (e.g. no password sometimes and not others).
#!/bin/bash
FIELDS=($(echo "sftp://user#host.net/some/random/path" \
| awk '{split($0, arr, /[\/\#:]*/); for (x in arr) { print arr[x] }}'))
proto=${FIELDS[1]}
user=${FIELDS[2]}
host=${FIELDS[3]}
path=$(echo ${FIELDS[#]:3} | sed 's/ /\//g')
If you don't have awk and you do have grep, and you can require that each field have at least two characters and be reasonably predictable in format, then you can do:
#!/bin/bash
FIELDS=($(echo "sftp://user#host.net/some/random/path" \
| grep -o "[a-z0-9.-][a-z0-9.-]*" | tr '\n' ' '))
proto=${FIELDS[1]}
user=${FIELDS[2]}
host=${FIELDS[3]}
path=$(echo ${FIELDS[#]:3} | sed 's/ /\//g')
Just needed to do the same, so was curious if it's possible to do it in single line, and this is what i've got:
#!/bin/bash
parse_url() {
eval $(echo "$1" | sed -e "s#^\(\(.*\)://\)\?\(\([^:#]*\)\(:\(.*\)\)\?#\)\?\([^/?]*\)\(/\(.*\)\)\?#${PREFIX:-URL_}SCHEME='\2' ${PREFIX:-URL_}USER='\4' ${PREFIX:-URL_}PASSWORD='\6' ${PREFIX:-URL_}HOST='\7' ${PREFIX:-URL_}PATH='\9'#")
}
URL=${1:-"http://user:pass#example.com/path/somewhere"}
PREFIX="URL_" parse_url "$URL"
echo "$URL_SCHEME://$URL_USER:$URL_PASSWORD#$URL_HOST/$URL_PATH"
How it works:
There is that crazy sed regex that captures all the parts of url, when all of them are optional (except for the host name)
Using those capture groups sed outputs env variables names with their values for relevant parts (like URL_SCHEME or URL_USER)
eval executes that output, causing those variables to be exported and available in the script
Optionally PREFIX could be passed to control output env variables names
PS: be careful when using this for arbitrary input since this code is vulnerable to script injections.
Here's my take, loosely based on some of the existing answers, but it can also cope with GitHub SSH clone URLs:
#!/bin/bash
PROJECT_URL="git#github.com:heremaps/here-aaa-java-sdk.git"
# Extract the protocol (includes trailing "://").
PARSED_PROTO="$(echo $PROJECT_URL | sed -nr 's,^(.*://).*,\1,p')"
# Remove the protocol from the URL.
PARSED_URL="$(echo ${PROJECT_URL/$PARSED_PROTO/})"
# Extract the user (includes trailing "#").
PARSED_USER="$(echo $PARSED_URL | sed -nr 's,^(.*#).*,\1,p')"
# Remove the user from the URL.
PARSED_URL="$(echo ${PARSED_URL/$PARSED_USER/})"
# Extract the port (includes leading ":").
PARSED_PORT="$(echo $PARSED_URL | sed -nr 's,.*(:[0-9]+).*,\1,p')"
# Remove the port from the URL.
PARSED_URL="$(echo ${PARSED_URL/$PARSED_PORT/})"
# Extract the path (includes leading "/" or ":").
PARSED_PATH="$(echo $PARSED_URL | sed -nr 's,[^/:]*([/:].*),\1,p')"
# Remove the path from the URL.
PARSED_HOST="$(echo ${PARSED_URL/$PARSED_PATH/})"
echo "proto: $PARSED_PROTO"
echo "user: $PARSED_USER"
echo "host: $PARSED_HOST"
echo "port: $PARSED_PORT"
echo "path: $PARSED_PATH"
which gives
proto:
user: git#
host: github.com
port:
path: :heremaps/here-aaa-java-sdk.git
And for PROJECT_URL="ssh://sschuberth#git.eclipse.org:29418/jgit/jgit" you get
proto: ssh://
user: sschuberth#
host: git.eclipse.org
port: :29418
path: /jgit/jgit
You can use bash string manipulation. It is easy to learn. In case you feel difficulties with regex, try it. As it is from NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI, i guess there may have port in that URI. So I also kept that optional.
#!/bin/bash
#You can also use environment variable $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI
X="sftp://user#host.net/some/random/path"
tmp=${X#*//};usr=${tmp%#*}
tmp=${X#*#};host=${tmp%%/*};[[ ${X#*://} == *":"* ]] && host=${host%:*}
tmp=${X#*//};path=${tmp#*/}
proto=${X%:*}
[[ ${X#*://} == *":"* ]] && tmp=${X##*:} && port=${tmp%%/*}
echo "Potocol:"$proto" User:"$usr" Host:"$host" Port:"$port" Path:"$path
I don't have enough reputation to comment, but I made a small modification to #patryk-obara's answer.
RFC3986 § 6.2.3. Scheme-Based Normalization
treats
http://example.com
http://example.com/
as equivalent. But I found that his regex did not match a URL like http://example.com. http://example.com/ (with the trailing slash) does match.
I inserted 11, which changed / to (/|$). This matches either / or the end of the string. Now http://example.com does match.
readonly URI_REGEX='^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//((([^:/?#]+)#)?([^:/?#]+)(:([0-9]+))?))?((/|$)([^?#]*))(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?$'

If you have access to Bash >= 3.0 you can do this in pure bash as well, thanks to the re-match operator =~:
pattern='^(([[:alnum:]]+)://)?(([[:alnum:]]+)#)?([^:^#]+)(:([[:digit:]]+))?$'
if [[ "http://us#cos.com:3142" =~ $pattern ]]; then

It should be faster and less resource-hungry then all the previous examples, because no external process is be spawned.
A simplistic approach to get just the domain from the full URL:
echo https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6174220/parse-url-in-shell-script | cut -d/ -f1-3
# OUTPUT>>> https://stackoverflow.com
Get only the path:
echo https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6174220/parse-url-in-shell-script | cut -d/ -f4-
# OUTPUT>>> questions/6174220/parse-url-in-shell-script
Not perfect, as the second command strips the preceding slash so you'll need to prepend it by hand.
An awk-based approach for getting just the path without the domain:
echo https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6174220/parse-url-in-shell-script/59971653 | awk -F"/" '{ for (i=4; i<=NF; i++) printf"/%s", $i }'
# OUTPUT>>> /questions/6174220/parse-url-in-shell-script/59971653
I did further parsing, expanding the solution given by #Shirkrin:
#!/bin/bash
parse_url() {
local query1 query2 path1 path2
# extract the protocol
proto="$(echo $1 | grep :// | sed -e's,^\(.*://\).*,\1,g')"
if [[ ! -z $proto ]] ; then
# remove the protocol

# extract the user (if any)
login="$(echo $url | grep # | cut -d# -f1)"
# extract the host

I did not like above methods and wrote my own. It is for ftp link, just replace ftp with http if your need it.
First line is a small validation of link, link should look like ftp://user:pass#host.com/path/to/something.
if ! echo "$url" | grep -q '^[[:blank:]]*ftp://[[:alnum:]]\+:[[:alnum:]]\+#[[:alnum:]\.]\+/.*[[:blank:]]*$'; then return 1; fi
login=$( echo "$url" | sed 's|[[:blank:]]*ftp://\([^:]\+\):\([^#]\+\)#\([^/]\+\)\(/.*\)[[:blank:]]*|\1|' )
pass=$( echo "$url" | sed 's|[[:blank:]]*ftp://\([^:]\+\):\([^#]\+\)#\([^/]\+\)\(/.*\)[[:blank:]]*|\2|' )
host=$( echo "$url" | sed 's|[[:blank:]]*ftp://\([^:]\+\):\([^#]\+\)#\([^/]\+\)\(/.*\)[[:blank:]]*|\3|' )
dir=$( echo "$url" | sed 's|[[:blank:]]*ftp://\([^:]\+\):\([^#]\+\)#\([^/]\+\)\(/.*\)[[:blank:]]*|\4|' )
My actual goal was to check ftp access by url. Here is the full result:
#!/bin/bash
test_ftp_url() # lftp may hang on some ftp problems, like no connection
{
local url="$1"
if ! echo "$url" | grep -q '^[[:blank:]]*ftp://[[:alnum:]]\+:[[:alnum:]]\+#[[:alnum:]\.]\+/.*[[:blank:]]*$'; then return 1; fi
local login=$( echo "$url" | sed 's|[[:blank:]]*ftp://\([^:]\+\):\([^#]\+\)#\([^/]\+\)\(/.*\)[[:blank:]]*|\1|' )
local pass=$( echo "$url" | sed 's|[[:blank:]]*ftp://\([^:]\+\):\([^#]\+\)#\([^/]\+\)\(/.*\)[[:blank:]]*|\2|' )
local host=$( echo "$url" | sed 's|[[:blank:]]*ftp://\([^:]\+\):\([^#]\+\)#\([^/]\+\)\(/.*\)[[:blank:]]*|\3|' )

I found Adam Ryczkowski's answers helpful. The original solution did not handle /path in URL, so I enhanced it a little bit.
pattern='^(([[:alnum:]]+):\/\/)?(([[:alnum:]]+)#)?([^:^#\/]+)(:([[:digit:]]+))?(\/?[^:^#]?)$'
url="http://us#cos.com:3142/path"
if [[ "$url" =~ $pattern ]]; then
proto=${BASH_REMATCH[2]}
user=${BASH_REMATCH[4]}
host=${BASH_REMATCH[5]}
port=${BASH_REMATCH[7]}
path=${BASH_REMATCH[8]}
echo "proto: $proto"
echo "user: $user"
echo "host: $host"
echo "port: $port"
echo "path= $path"
else
echo "URL did not match pattern: $url"
fi
The pattern is complex, so please use this site to understand it better: https://regex101.com/
I tested it with a bunch of URLs. However, if there are any issues, please let me know.
If you have access to Node.js:
export MY_URI=sftp://user#host.net/some/random/path
node -e "console.log(url.parse(process.env.MY_URI).user)"
node -e "console.log(url.parse(process.env.MY_URI).host)"
node -e "console.log(url.parse(process.env.MY_URI).path)"
This will output:
user
host.net
/some/random/path
Here's a pure bash url parser. It supports git ssh clone style URLs as well as standard proto:// ones. The example ignores protocol, auths, and port but you can modify to collect as needed... I used regex101 for handy testing: https://regex101.com/r/5QyNI5/1
TEST_URLS=(
https://github.com/briceburg/tools.git
https://foo:12333#github.com:8080/briceburg/tools.git
git#github.com:briceburg/tools.git
https://me#gmail.com:12345#my.site.com:443/p/a/t/h
)
for url in "${TEST_URLS[#]}"; do
without_proto="${url#*:\/\/}"
without_auth="${without_proto##*#}"
[[ $without_auth =~ ^([^:\/]+)(:[[:digit:]]+\/|:|\/)?(.*) ]]
PROJECT_HOST="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
PROJECT_PATH="${BASH_REMATCH[3]}"
echo "given: $url"
echo " -> host: $PROJECT_HOST path: $PROJECT_PATH"
done
results in:
given: https://github.com/briceburg/tools.git
-> host: github.com path: briceburg/tools.git
given: https://foo:12333#github.com:8080/briceburg/tools.git
-> host: github.com path: briceburg/tools.git
given: git#github.com:briceburg/tools.git
-> host: github.com path: briceburg/tools.git
given: https://me#gmail.com:12345#my.site.com:443/p/a/t/h
