Just drop the option `v`.

`-v` is for verbose. If you don&#39;t use it then it won&#39;t display:

    tar -zxf tmp.tar.gz -C ~/tmp1

How do I fetch upstream repo and make it replace master? I only have one branch on my repo, which is master, and I completely messed it up, so I basically need to start over from the upstream. I think init will do the job, but is there an easier way?

git discard all changes and pull from upstream

I am trying to output a string that contains everything between two words of a string:

input:

    &quot;Here is a String&quot;

output:

    &quot;is a&quot;

Using: 

    sed -n &#39;/Here/,/String/p&#39;

includes the endpoints, but I don&#39;t want to include them.



How to use sed/grep to extract text between two words?

I had a look at the options, but nothing seemed obvious as a manner in which to turn off the output when uncompressing a file. The below is the code I am currently using... I just need the option to switch off the output.

    tar -zxvf tmp.tar.gz -C ~/tmp1

How can 2 unsorted text files of different lengths be display side by side *(in columns)* in a `shell` 

Given `one.txt` and `two.txt`:

    $ cat one.txt
    apple
    pear
    longer line than the last two
    last line
                                      
    $ cat two.txt
    The quick brown fox..
    foo
    bar 
    linux
    
    skipped a line

Display:

    apple				      	        The quick brown fox..
    pear				                foo
    longer line than the last two	    bar 
    last line			      	        linux
    				     
                                        skipped a line

`paste one.txt two.txt` almost does the trick but doesn&#39;t align the columns nicely as it just prints one tab between column 1 and 2. *I know how to this with emacs and vim but want the output displayed to stdout for piping ect.*

The solution I came up with uses `sdiff` and then pipes to sed to remove the output `sdiff` adds.  
 
`sdiff one.txt two.txt | sed -r &#39;s/[&lt;&gt;|]//;s/(\t){3}//&#39;`

I could create a function and stick it in my `.bashrc` but surely a command for this exists already (or a *cleaner* solution potentially)?

Display two files side by side

I am a newbie at shell scripting, and am confused about how to use `sed` or any other tools to replace the first line in my text file by a string. Here are the text file contents:

&lt;pre&gt;
/home/snehil/Desktop/j1/movie.MOV
&quot;spome other text lines&#39;
&lt;/pre&gt;

I want to replace the first line (movie file path) with just `movie.MOV` (could be a variable in the shell script) 

Please guide me how to do this. I came across `sed` in some posts, do I need to use `sed` here?

If my Unix machine is set to IST timezone, how can I get the current GMT time?

How do I get GMT time in Unix?

I have directory structure like this

    data
    |___
       |
       abc
        |____incoming
       def
        |____incoming
        |____processed
       123
        |___incoming
       456
        |___incoming
        |___processed

There is an incoming sub-folder in all of the folders inside Data directory. I want to get all files from all the folders and sub-folders except the def/incoming and 456/incoming dirs.
I tried out with following command
 
     find /home/feeds/data -type d $ -name &#39;def/incoming&#39; -o -name &#39;456/incoming&#39; -o -name arkona $ -prune -o -name &#39;*.*&#39; -print

but it is not working as expected.

Exclude a sub-directory using find

I&#39;m new to shell scripts, can anyone help? I want to delete scripts in a folder from the current date back to 10 days.
The scripts looks like:

    2012.11.21.09_33_52.script
    2012.11.21.09_33_56.script
    2012.11.21.09_33_59.script

The script will run in every 10 day with Crontab, that&#39;s why I need the current date.
