View 3 Replies View RelatedI created a directory somewhere with permissions rwxrwxr-x so that other users in my group can create files and directories in it.
I do need to be able to delete the contents in this "public" directory, but it seems that while I am able to remove any files in this directory I cannot remove and subdirectories under it.
Is there a way to remove such subdirectories owned by others under a directory owned by me?

Lets say I have 20 files named FOOXX, where XX is the number of the file, eg 01, 02 etc. At the moment, if I want to delete all files lower than the number 10, this is easy and I just use a wildcard, eg rm FOO0* However, if I want to delete specific files ina range, eg 13-15, this becomes more difficult. rm FPP[13-15] does not work, and asks me if I wish to delete all files. Likewse rm FOO1[3-5] wishes to delete all files that begin with FOO1 So, what is the best way to delete ranges of files like this? I have tried with both bash and zsh, and I don't think they differ so much for such a basic task?

I am facing a problem in Windows due to a virus called Newfolder.exe which creats files with the same name as it's parent directory and an extension .exe and this happens for every directory in the entire hierarchy in the infected pen drive. The antivirus detects them, but is sucking slow. So I thought this is a good opportunity to use the concepts of the all mighty shell script to remove those as they follow the same pattern. Say my complete path is
Code:
/home/pkd/fol1/
The virus would have created an file with complete paths
Quote:
/home/pkd/fol1.exe
If fol1 has two more directories fol11 and fol12 Then there would be two more .exe(virus created) in the following path
Quote:
/home/pkd/fol11/fol11.exe
/home/pkd/fol12/fol12.exe
I have a (hopefully) quick question which is regarding some scripting I used to do under a DOS/Windows env. I used to use the "for" command to iterate through a set of files in a directory using the line:
Code:
for each %1 in ([dir]) do [command]
But that doesn't work under bash. I presume the syntax is slightly different but doing
Code:
for --help
or
Code:
man for
Doesn't give me much any information at to syntax or usage. I'm sure there is something in bash or the standard shell, I just can't seem to find it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI was creating a few scripts, I am trying to create a restore script to restore files that have previously been moved to a folder I selected. When moved I stored the original path for these files all in one text file.
I want to know if anyone can tell me how to delete the line from the file after using it restore the file. I have used the grep command to search through the file "pathName" to find where the file was stored but now want to delete that same line.
I have a log file which is continously being accessed. Now I want to delete the first line without disturbing the file.Is it possible?

I dont have time to work with root cause but just a script to reduce this space.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWas wondering if any perl guru's could help me with a quick log file adjustment. I have a text file that looks like so (tabs and newlines are revealed so you can see what separates the data):
There are maybe 100 lines of text in this file at any given time. I need to delete all duplicate lines only looking at the first bit of text prior to the first tab. It doesn't matter which one gets deleted as long as there are no two lines that begin with that same text at the beginning before the first tab. So in this example, either the fist line "1234" or the last line "1234" would need to be deleted. I already have code in my script that opens the files - I just need the code to read the text into an array and the part that would find matches based on the above criteria, and make the deletions.
If it would be easier, I can even do a system call and use SED (v4.1.5) and/or AWK (3.1.5) instead.
What's a Unix/Linux one-liner that will let me delete all but the most recent N revisions of each file?

I want to keep the last three of each, so in the above list the command would delete bar.r7.js, bar.r8.js and foo.r1.js.

I have a FAT32 SD card with a file on it, that, viewed in Windows the filename consists of a long string of nonsense. Viewed in my Android phone's Linux terminal, ls -a shows nothing in the directory. When I try to delete the parent directory with rm -rf deleteme, it fails with "Directory not empty". When I try to delete/move in Windows 7, it says the filename would be too long and/or Explorer crashes. Windows disk check doesn't find anything wrong. How can I delete this?
