So here's my problem. I have an issue with a .csv file (Current.csv) in that there are commas randomly place throughout the data, so awk-ing the file doesn't give me constant column numbers for a particular type of information I'm looking for. Luckily, I realized this info is always the third instance of a date format (m,mm)/(d,dd)/yy. So I'm trying the regular expression below to display just the dates within the ith line:

awk -F',' '{if (NR==$i)print}' Current.csv | grep -o "[0-9]{1,2}/[0-9]{1-2}/[0-9]{1,2}" | echo

It doesn't display anything so far and I'm totally stuck as to why. My guess for displaying the third is to just pipe this all into:

awk {print $3}

Any ideas on the awk'd regular expression search problem?

Sample line
"lettershere",numbershere,"retardedbrokenquoteshere,mm/dd/yy,morestuff,mm/dd/yy,numbers,mm/dd/yy

I have quite complex directory tree. There are many subdirectories, in those subdirectories beside other files and directories are ".svn" directories.

Now, under linux I want to delete all files and directories except the .svn directories.

I found many solutions about opposite behaviour - deleting all .svn directories in the tree. Can somebody quote me the correct answer for deleting everything except .svn?

I have found an interesting "feature" of make

DIR_INPUT=/test
test:
        # testing date (it should be yesterday)
        test ! -z "${DATE}"
        ls -lad ${DIR_INPUT}/{a,c}

but it seems to work in a strange way:

PROMPT# make test
# testing date (it should be yesterday)
test ! -z "20100120"
ls -lad /test/{a,c}
/test/{a,c}: No such file or directory
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test'
PROMPT#

of course if I issue ls -lad /test/{a,c} from my shell works.

Question: how can I get make to evaluate this pattern as the shell would do?

For instance, I want to remove all the files in a directory except for the .tar file from whence they came. I could do something like:

find . -maxdepth 0 | grep -v '.tar$' | xargs rm -f

but is there a way to do is just using rm and shell pattern matching? Feel free to specify it using bash or other commonly available shells, or with extended options, if it can't be done with vanilla sh.

I found a similar question about avoiding directories and subdirectories with find, but not with shell patterns.
