Paid on delivery
We need a find script and a replace script written as .sh linux scripts or perl scripts. Payment is made after the scripts are proven. Both scripts must follow the conditions below: -Must search subdirectories but ignore a handful of subdirectories that are listed in the script. -All the files found (find script) or changed (replace script) need to be listed in a results file specified in the script ([login to view URL] etc). -The strings need to be assigned to variables at the top of the script so they can be easily changed when reuse the script to find/replace other strings. -The script should search through all types of files by default but we should have the option to exclude certain types of files like .jpg, .gif etc. Here are the specifics for the two scripts: 1. Find Script. Finds all files with the string 'abc/defg' but excludes files that have the string 'tuvabc/defgxyz' without the string 'abc/defg' on its own. Example File 1: xxxxabc/defgxxxx --> Should be found. Example File 2: xxxxabc/defgxxxxtuvabc/defgxyzxxx --> Should be found. Example File 3: xxxxtuvabc/defgxyzxxx --> Should NOT be found. Usage: ./[login to view URL] 2. Replace Script Finds all files with the string '123/456/789' and replaces the string with '123/789'. Usage: ./[login to view URL] #Our Linux Information is Below: cat /etc/issue CentOS release 4.6 (Final) Kernel r on an m

Dear Sirs, I have been developing this kind of scripts since 2001, under Debian, Slackware, Redhat and CentOS. Nowadays, I'm managing different linux servers for USA, Canada, Spain, Mexico, and Uruguay. This bid is low, because I want you to know how I work, in order to establish a long term relationship. I can send you more details, my resume and recommendation letters if needed. Kind regards, Juan Manuel

I can get this done pretty quickly for you. I've got about 8 years of Perl and bash programming experienced and have done a lot of work in string processing and searching, particularly with regular expressions. Depending on the timing of when you accept my bid, I can probably have your project completed within a few hours. I can even add additional enhancements (if you are willing) such as the ability to provide the search/replace strings on the command line. I can give you the option to search all files (by default) or exclude files based either on file extension (.jpg, .gif, etc.) or file type of the contents (a JPEG is still a JPEG if you rename it .gif or .txt, for example). The method can be choosable when you run the command or via changing variables at the top of the script or via a configuration file. I'll ask you to approve these enhancements and I'll only add them if you approve.
