ObsdarkHello there17:00
ObsdarkLet's say i'm trying to get written all the names of certain types of files from a specific folder and dropping that down to a txt file, let's say than for this i'm using find17:01
ObsdarkWhich i am using btw for that purpose17:01
ObsdarkBut how can i take that output (from the find command) and make it so it reformat the content of that file in some way?17:01
Obsdarkfor instance, modify each row using certain specific pattern17:02
ObsdarkWhat would be the best approach for this?17:02
Obsdarkthe change must happend automatically17:02
penguin42Obsdark: Should we say is that your homework?17:03
penguin42seems an odd way of asking :-17:04
ObsdarkNo it was not, but rest easy, i found a way a while ago19:00
Obsdarki wasn't sure what approach to take, but finally i just find a way after some experimenting19:01
ObsdarkThe question tho was with that in mind, read what approaches other people has taken in the past, what could be better for, or worst for19:02
Obsdarkthat kind of thing19:02
* penguin42 would just use sed or awk (flipping into python if it gets hard)19:32
