Rename/VI/Awstats Reports Usage

nistelrooy · 07-12-2005, 12:23 PM

Hi

I was generating awstats report just a moment ago. To my surprise, after the static htmls were out, some of them came out with a "?" or "^M" behind the filenames.

How can i use VI/Rename to remove the "?" or "^M" at one instant?

Below is a excerpt of what is happening,

Code:

root@xserve:/var/www/logs$ ls
awstats052005.domainz.txt           awstats.domainz.lasthosts.html?
awstats062005.domainz.txt           awstats.domainz.lastlogins.html?
awstats072005.domainz.txt           awstats.domainz.lastrobots.html?
awstats.domainz.alldomains.html     awstats.domainz.osdetail.html
awstats.domainz.allhosts.html       awstats.domainz.refererpages.html
awstats.domainz.alllogins.html?     awstats.domainz.refererse.html
awstats.domainz.allrobots.html?     awstats.domainz.unknownbrowser.html
awstats.domainz.browserdetail.html  awstats.domainz.unknownip.html?
awstats.domainz.errors404.html      awstats.domainz.unknownos.html
awstats.domainz.html                awstats.domainz.urldetail.html?
awstats.domainz.keyphrases.html     awstats.domainz.urlentry.html?
awstats.domainz.keywords.html       awstats.domainz.urlexit.html?
root@xserve:/var/www/logs$

Thanks!

try
fromdos < file > newfile
or
dos2unix < file > newfile
or
sed -i "s/^M/\n/g" file

Cheers,
Tink

i cant seem to get the "sed" command working.
the ^M is still around, looks like 'a' (one) special character rather than a "^" and "M".

Was the wrong snippet, anyway. Sorry for that.
Try this one
sed -i -e 's/\r//g' file

Hi Tinker

it doesnt seem like the command is working..
could you help me look at it?

Code:

xserve:/usr/lib/cgi-bin/test# sed -i -e 's/\r//g' awstats.domainz.alldomains.html^M
xserve:/usr/lib/cgi-bin/test# ls
awstats.domainz.alldomains.html?     awstats.domainz.keyphrases.html?    awstats.domainz.refererse.html?
awstats.domainz.allhosts.html?       awstats.domainz.keywords.html?      awstats.domainz.unknownbrowser.html?
awstats.domainz.alllogins.html?      awstats.domainz.lasthosts.html?     awstats.domainz.unknownip.html?
awstats.domainz.allrobots.html?      awstats.domainz.lastlogins.html?    awstats.domainz.unknownos.html?
awstats.domainz.browserdetail.html?  awstats.domainz.lastrobots.html?    awstats.domainz.urldetail.html?
awstats.domainz.errors404.html       awstats.domainz.osdetail.html?      awstats.domainz.urlentry.html?
awstats.domainz.html?                awstats.domainz.refererpages.html?  awstats.domainz.urlexit.html?
xserve:/usr/lib/cgi-bin/test#

and, its wierd the results here, ^M here and "?" in the above,

Code:

xserve:/usr/lib/cgi-bin/test# ls awstats.domainz.
awstats.domainz.alldomains.html^M     awstats.domainz.keyphrases.html^M     awstats.domainz.refererse.html^M
awstats.domainz.allhosts.html^M       awstats.domainz.keywords.html^M       awstats.domainz.unknownbrowser.html^M
awstats.domainz.alllogins.html^M      awstats.domainz.lasthosts.html^M      awstats.domainz.unknownip.html^M
awstats.domainz.allrobots.html^M      awstats.domainz.lastlogins.html^M     awstats.domainz.unknownos.html^M
awstats.domainz.browserdetail.html^M  awstats.domainz.lastrobots.html^M     awstats.domainz.urldetail.html^M
awstats.domainz.errors404.html        awstats.domainz.osdetail.html^M       awstats.domainz.urlentry.html^M
awstats.domainz.html^M                awstats.domainz.refererpages.html^M   awstats.domainz.urlexit.html^M

Oh man, my bad ... must have been very tired, sorry. Didn't
get the fact that those were filenames, not the content of a file.

rename .html^M .html *.htm*

Cheers,
Tink

Hey Tinker, no worries, thanks for your help!

weird..
even the simple renaming had problems.

Code:

xserve:/usr/lib/cgi-bin# rename awstats.byon.alldomains.html^M awstats.byon.alldomains.html awstats.byon.alldomains.html^M
Bareword "awstats" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1.
Bareword "byon" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1.
Bareword "alldomains" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1.
Bareword "html" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1.
xserve:/usr/lib/cgi-bin#

Thanks again!

Invoke it just like I typed it mate ... otherwise you could
have just as well done them all 1 by 1 ;}
