General :: How To Use Rsync When Filenames Contain Double Quotes
Jan 29, 2011
I am trying to synchronize the content of the directory my_dir/ from /home to /backup. This directory contains a file which name has a double quote in it, such as to"to. Here is my rsync command:
rsync -Cazh /home/my_dir/ /backup/my_dir/
And I get the following message:
rsync: mkstemp "/backup/my_dir/.to"to.d93PZr" failed: Invalid argument (22)
For info, rsync works well when the synchronized filenames contain single quote, parenthesis and space. Thus, why is it bugging with a double quote?

In bash I need to use some equivalent of double quotes inside double quotes (or the other way around.)I need to run the following statement to get the output of foo and store it in a variable while passing foo the $file which probably contains spaces.
Code:
variable=$(foo "$file")
The problem is that foo might return an empty string and if it does I need to catch it

I am not sure If anybody has faced this issue, my keyboard is less responsive when pressing the double quote/single quote key, I have to press it twice for it to print the quote( and that too it prints some other data and not exactly a double-quotes). Initially I thought it was issue with my keyboard, but later I see that it is working fine in Windows XP. It looks some kind of setting issue. If you check the below two examples, example a) is the double quote printed in Ubuntu, it doesnt exactly looks like a double-quotes and b) is the one printed in Windows.

Can anyone offer a code snippet to recursively go through directories and replace any single or double quotes quotes found in a filename with another character (e.g. "_").If any of the filenames contain a single quote or double quote, then replace it with an underscore.

I tried to move a file from my desktop to another folder; moving it was not allowed, for some reason. Neither was opening it and saving a new copy in the target folder. Would that be because the filename contains double (") quotation marks? Are they not allowed? The filename is Edit of Bob's "Lady Liberty" Article.doc. [Filename not enclosed in quotation marks here, to avoid confusion.]I just changed the double quotation marks to single quotation marks; that solved everything.

Is there a way of making rsync (an offspring of rcp) case insensitive? Perhaps mounting the file system (not linux) in some special way?

trying to edit a huge configuration filer graphviz that containsIP addresses.unfortunately, some of the IP addresses didn't get parsed right and have only 3 octets. I am trying to use sed to find these 3 octet lines and delete the line entirely.example lines in the file look like this.
"22.210.73" -> "192.168.159";
"22.210.232" -> "22.210.248";
i have tried doing various things but to no avail. i had something that looked like this...
sed -i '/"*.*.*"/d' myfile

I'm really new here this is the first try to get some knowledge here.I have a littele question."echo {1,2}" does expands 1 and 2.so does "echo "`echo {1,2}`"".But when I do it with double quotes which is "echo "{1,2}"" it doesn't expand at all.why does this happen? I have read man for bash but could not get any clue.

I got a filename called like this:
beach---------20090808-110000.ogg
beach---------20090808-120000.ogg
It's like this:
name----------YYYYMMDD-hhmmss.ogg
Now Im splitting these hourly files into 1 minute files. I get then this output sofar properly:
beach---------20090808-110000_00.mp3
beach---------20090808-110000_01.mp3
beach---------20090808-110000_02.mp3
and so on....
the 00, 01, 02 and up are the minutes it has splitted it. Now I need a script, after it did this, to rename the file names into this:
beach---------20090808-110000.mp3
beach---------20090808-110100.mp3
beach---------20090808-110200.mp3
beach---------20090808-110300.mp3

I was going to file a bug to findutils on gnu.org when I saw a notice that asked me whether I knew the difference between these two commands:find -name *.c and find -name "*.c".I use find command quite often but I don't think these two have any difference.

I have the following command, which works fine:ll /backup/PROD |grep PROD_ |awk -F" " '{print "catalog backuppiece /backup/PROD/"$9";"}'The output is:catalog backuppiece /backup/PROD/PROD_29mi42vn_1_1;BUT... I want single quotes in the result. One before /back.. and one before the ;Like this:catalog backuppiece '/backup/PROD/PROD_29mi42vn_1_1';How do I do that? I tried using ' but it does not work.The following command works, but I get an error message, which prevents me from using the command in a bash file:ll /backup/PROD |grep PROD_ |awk -F" " '{print "catalog backuppiece '''/backup/PROD/"$9"''';"}'awk: warning: escape sequence `'' treated as plain `''

I want to grep for $_POST['whatever']. I've done enough googling and trying different things (and failing) to where I felt it appropriate to post here. How do I identify the single quotes as literals? slashes don't seem to do it.

When I run for i in $(find -name '*.ogg'); do echo '$i'; done I don't get one line per file as I expected. Instead, when a file name has a space in it, each word comes out in a separate line, so I can't run commands on the files.

The following script will work when I type the path to the file I want to checksum, but not when I drag the file to the terminal because the linux terminal (unlike the Mac) automatically puts quotes around the file path, which causes an error. I did not find anything in gconf-editor or anywhere else to alter this behaviour, and my post in Launchpad is unanswered so far. (the script in itself is not very useful, I just stumbled upon this error when experimenting with bash).
So, is there a workaround for stripping the quotes from the input, or can I configure the terminal to not quote the input when I drag a file into it (which I would prefer?)I am currently logged in from Mac OS, but the question refers to ubuntu karmic with which I dual boot.ADMINISTRATORS: Thanks for the quick reply to my newbie question about posting new threads. Actually I don't see now what the difficulty was; I guess I was tired from trying to debug the above script (not funny).

My laptop's been locking up in Linux (Ubuntu, Backtrack, Puppy) periodically for a while now. When it locked up, it was always immune to the magic of SysRq, which I thought might indicate a hardware problem. It became so bad that I had to stop using the laptop.
Today, when I turned it on and tried to boot into Fedora 12, I got the following error (just once, it just locked up at various points during the splash screen after this once):
double fault: 0000 [#1] SMP
last sysfs file:
CPU 0
odules linked in:
Pid: 1, co m: swapper Not ta nted 2.6.32.11-99.fc 2.x86_64 #VGN-T 250N
RIP: 0010:[<ff
All the seemingly missing letters were really missing, not my typos.
As you can see, kernel version is 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64 and my laptop is a Sony Vaio TZ 250N (Core 2 Duo ULV 1.2GHZ). Note that with the other remaining kernels from the updates, nothing ever happened other than the locking up. The core temperatures hover pretty high, about 55-60C peak but this is still below the critical temp. Memtest came up clean when the problem first started happening.

list filenames one-per-line, in BASH without including directories. I think he was either wrong or making that up. There is a way to list just the names and one per line but there aren't any arguments I can find that can be used to exclude directories.
Code:
IFS=', '; files=`ls -m`; for i in $files; do if [ -f $i ]; then echo $i; fi; done That does only use ls as a command, however he said his GSI thought he could do it without all that...

I have a ton of files that are timestamped directories. These all look like2011-06-24_13.53.36 // a directory name for june 24th, 1:53:36 pmI have thousands of these directories. I want to do operations on some of the older ones. Let's say I give it a string for date time that matches that exact format, like i'll give it2011-06-25_00.00.00 // june 25th, 12amI want to find all the directories BEFORE my time. So if i give the string for 12am on june 25th, i want to find all the directories before then.If not i can find EVERY directory i have like this and then filter after wards. The created/modified dates are not tied to the actual timestamp im looking for (that would make this easier)

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)

I have a file that contains "ls -la" output. I would like to display only the filenames, none of the other information before it such as permissions, ownership, size, and date.Would the cut command be the best way to hit this, or should I use Vim or sed?

Having problems displaying French chars. They are dumped into an nfs share by a Windows/cifs configuration which has been blamed for this unwanted behavior but when I transfer a file continaing � via WinSCP to the RedHat, instead of getting the filename Response.txt I see R?sponse.txt. When I refresh WinSCP to view the file it views it ok.
