General :: Extract To Multiple Directories Based On File Names?

Jan 30, 2009

I'm not sure if this is possible or even where to start. I assume that this can be done with an sh script using tar or similar.I have several very large zip files that contain images for all of the products in my online store. Each image is named after its 13 digit SKU (for example, 9987788000012.jpg). In order to import products into my store, all images are placed into a media directory. Unfortunately, there are over 100,000 images.

So I would like to break the images into sub-folders based on file name. For example, when I extract store_images.zip (or tar or whatever), my extract script would create directories (if they don't already exist) based on the first three digits of each image name, placing each image into the appropriate bottom level directory. For example, "9987788000012.jpg" would be placed in the following directory "media/9/9/8", with media as the root and "8" as the directory that holds any images that start with "998". Perhaps two sub-folders would be less cumbersome.Assuming this requires a script, particularly since it involves scanning image names, creating folders, and saving images to specific directories, which language would serve my needs best? PHP? Has anyone had to do something similar?

Ubuntu :: Specify Multiple Cursor Positions?

It says in the geany documentation that i can specify multiple cursor positions. But after i define a snippet like that - lets say for example:

Code:
for=for ($i = 0; $i < %cursor%; $i++){ %cursor% }

it only takes me to the first cursor point. A second tab results in a regular tab being inserted into the code..

But when I suspend the laptop and resume back, the HP monitor is moved to the right side and have to repeat the process os moving it in the preferences menu. What am I doing wrong/how can I fix it?

General :: Sed Search To Match NOT Several Strings?

Nov 15, 2010

I am using sed to process an ascii tcpdump file whereby each packet is processed into a line with the same number of columns and useful information is pulled out like the time, packet type, length, and also IP addresses, payload type and port numbers where appropriate. The time is already changed to seconds, followed by the protocol over ethernet, such as IP, IP6, ARP etc. and I can change anything it detects as IP, IP6 and ARP into some other string, pulling out necessary information depending on the protocol and payload.The beginning part of the search for IP starts with the sed search /([0-9][0-9]*.[0-9][0-9]*)[ ]IP[ ,] ... /, where time is in seconds and ellipses means more stuff, and likewise for IP6 and ARP.But how do I process the lines that are NOT IP, IP6 or ARP? (Specifically NOT /IP[ ,]/, /IP6[ ,]/ or /ARP[ ,]/.) So that I can format them into a string with the same number of columns.

General :: Parsing Strings Containing Bash Scripts?

Jan 15, 2010

fakeFile's contents :

Code:

blah $(date +%F) blah

fakeScript's contents :

Code:

while read line; do
echo $line
done < "fakeFile"

so here's the problem : is there any way to evaluate the fakeFile's contents (in the fakeScript), so that the term "$(date +%F)" (or any other bash script) in a string , translates to it's corresponding value ? (in this example , we want to have "blah current date" instead of " blah $(bash script) blah " )

General :: Find Multiple Strings Into Files?

Mar 22, 2010

I would like to find all the files that contains the strings I'm searching.

For example (it's just an example), I would like to search all the files in "/etc" that contains "eth0" and "us", whatever where are located those 2 strings, the important is that the 2 strings are in the files listed.

It would be something like a "grep -lr 'eth0' *" and "grep -lr 'us' *" but in one time/command, so that I don't have to make a comparison of the 2 list of files resulting from the 2 "grep" commands given higher.

Long story short, I got a folder with nearly 800,000 php files. I would like to search each file for a string and if it exists in that file, the file gets copied to another directory. Is this possible from the terminal? So far I got: grep -i -n -r 'ppr-1792' * | cp $1 move_to_here

But this obviously doesn't work. $1 needs to be the file name that contains matching text.

General :: Bash Scripting - Removing Strings From MP3 Filenames

Oct 5, 2010

I've been surfing and searching the net quit a while now to make my own script, but I haven't been really successful ever since I want to make a script which can remove strings from my mp3 collection (file names).

For example:
Code:
101-bob_sinclar_feat_sean_paul-tik_tok_(radio_edit).mp3 --> bob_sinclar_feat_sean_paul-tik_tok_(radio_edit).mp3
10-Young Jeezy-Lose My Mind (78 Bpm) (Repack).mp3 --> young_jeezy-lose_my_mind.mp3

Now the problem is how can I remove the strings like:
101 & 10 (dynamic)
(%%% Bpm) (dynamic)
(Repack) (static)

General :: Bash - Merging Strings (perhaps With Sort | Uniq)?

Nov 16, 2010

I have multiple strings (eg. say two, firstLIST=(0 1 2) and secondLIST=(2 3)) and want to create a single string composed of their unique sorted elements. For the sample strings above, I'd like to build masterLIST=(0 1 2 3).I suppose I could write the elements of firstLIST and secondLIST to files

Code:

echo ${firstLIST[@]} > firstFILE
echo ${secondLIST[@]} > secondFILE

then use

Code:

sort firstFILE secondFILE | uniq > masterFILE

as this gives me a file populated with the elements I'm after, but I'm not sure how to read the elements back into masterLIST... and it doesn't seem "right" to create files to accomplish this. Is there a way to do this by manipulating the strings ${firstLIST[@]} and ${secondLIST[@]} directly? The closest I've come (not close at all) is

Code:

masterLIST=${firstLIST[@]}" "${secondLIST[@]}

but masterLIST built this way has only one element

Code:

$echo ${masterLIST[@]}
0 1 2 2 3
$echo ${#masterLIST[@]}
1

and I don't have access to the individual digits to then try to figure out how to remove duplicates.

General :: Bash Script To Find Lines Containing Two Different Strings

Mar 13, 2011

I'm trying to write a bash script to find all lines containing two different strings in many files. I don't have access to egrep so I want to use sed for this purpose.

The files will look like this:
FileX
------
Info:18
Data:76
Contact:me@home.com
Start:1500

I want to generate a new file from these files with only the rows containing Data and Start. Something like this:
for y in `ls /file*.db`;
do sed '/Data|Start/p' $y > newfile
done
