Deleting lines from the text file

2010-06-01 1 min read Linux

Really useful for pretty big <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/computer_file" title="Computer file" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_file">files.

<a class="zem_slink freebase/en/sed" title="Sed" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sed">sed –silent ’1,100 d’ <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/filename" title="Filename" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename">filename

here the command will delete the first 100 lines. You can specify whatever range you want. This will not delete the lines from the file but only display the contents on the console after deleting the 100 lines from begining.

If you want to store it in different file then you can use ”>” or ”»”<h6 class="zemanta-related-title">Related articles by Zemanta <ul class="zemanta-article-ul"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.centernetworks.com/guhmshoo-quit-facebook-day-cartoon">Guhmshoo Looks at Quit Facebook Day (cartoon) (centernetworks.com) <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/1374">Sometimes it’s just Windows … (blogs.securiteam.com) <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/2-ingenious-apps-to-help-organize-files-and-folders-on-your-mac/">2 Ingenious Apps To Help Organize Files and Folders On Your Mac (makeuseof.com) <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.labnol.org/software/windows-problems-and-solutions/13766/">Simple Solutions to Common Windows Problems (labnol.org) <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://techblissonline.com/bluray-dvd-cd-data-file-recovery-software-free-download/">Blu Ray/DVD/CD Data file recovery software (free) to recover damaged files (techblissonline.com) <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2010/05/23/get-rid-of-gnome-keyring-password-reminder/">Get rid of GNOME keyring password reminder (ghacks.net) <div class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/a2e0d6ba-15f8-4a53-9f52-a28012b689cb/"><img class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/reblog_b93.png" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" /><span class="zem-script more-related more-info pretty-attribution paragraph-reblog">

cairo-dock themes on server – download to local machine.

2010-05-30 1 min read Linux

I was trying to get all the cairo-themes locally. One because sometimes the internet connection is slow and second for the fun of it. So I did the first thing that can be done, to search the internet and find out how to do it. Could not find anything in the results and thus started to search how to to it. And here it is finally:

Get the list of themes <a href="http://themes.cairo-dock.org/liste.txt" target="_blank">here. Once this is done, simply go to http://themes.cairo-dock.org/ and download the file. Once this is done you can untar it to /usr/share/cairo-dock/themes and you are done.
