shell — one liner to selectively change case

Today I had a hard time, I had a herculian task of converting the case of file to upper case. Well that’s not difficult :), I know. What made it difficult was the fact that not the whole file had to be converted but only selective lines containing the work important. Okay now that too is not so difficult, I thought. But again the file size was huge, it had some 9 million lines. So, I just thought of trying my skills of shell programming (dont have much of it anyway). So here’s what I did:

Get list of git repositories from command line.

Earlier I had posted a small blog on teamgit. The problem still is that you have to manually go to the git.kernel.org page and get the list of the repo’s that you can download. How about a command line to get the same. Here’s one:

wget -O – http://git.kernel.org |grep &#8221;class=.list.&#8221; |grep -v title|awk -F&#8217;>&#8217; '{print $3}&#8217;|sed &#8217;s/<\/a//&#8217;

Output will be like this:<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">linux/kernel/git/ghaskins/linux-2.6-hacks.git
