I want to copy all directories, files, and hidden files and hidden directories with one command. I want these items to replace any same items in the target directory.
I have tried several things, such as:
cp -r *
cp -aR *
but I only seem to get visible files and directories. Obviously, I am missing something. (A brain, probably....)
What should do? Or how to delete that I have 2 hidden in my PC?
I know nothing that's why please tell me detail if some one know about it?
I had Windows on my machine but I decided to try Ubuntu 11.04. I kept my partitions where I store music, movies and stuff and it is OK, I can open anything, but I can't open the files that were in a hidden folder. I see then, I can browse my Windows hidden directories, but I can't open the files!

Is there a flag or escape sequence that will allow 'rm' to delete these files?
Is there a way to make the system display hidden files in the home folder when you open it? I know you can select "Show Hidden Files" in the view menu but having to do this every time you want to see or access hidden files and folders is annoying!

It tells me my home dir uses 3GB, but only accounts for 525MB (the results of du -shc *). Can I get it to show me the other files that are using the space?
If I type 'grep alias .bashrc' a whole load of stuff comes up. However, if I type 'grep alias *' nothing comes up. Is there some switch for including 'hidden' files - like the -a switch for ls?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Kingston 8gb Datatraveler that has been giving me troubles lately. For some reason after I delete files from it it still shows up as full and the files are shown in the hidden trash files. How do I get rid of these files? I can't delete them as they just show back up. Also, I tried to format the drive with gparted and it won't unmount. When I right click and select information, at the bottom it says: Unable to find mount point. Unable to read the contents of the file system. Because of this, some operations may be unavailable.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got a collection of MP3 files, but sometimes I stumble across a double file in Rhythmbox. At first, I thought they were the real files, but after trying to fix the tags (artist names were incorrect or missing) in tag editor, I didn't see any change in the files in Rhythmbox.
This made me search for the album in which the files were (in Rhythmbox). I found out that these incorrectly named files were doubles, but they didn't show in the actual folder.
So, I deduced, They had to be fakes. I threw the doubles in the trash bin, and there it was. They were hidden files (with a dot in front).
How can I find all these hidden files, so I can remove them?
How would I rename all files with a leading decimal point recursivley? I some how got all my music files to have a decimal point.I tried the below and got a " sed argument to long".[CODE]find /media/MUSIC -type f -name "*.wma" | xargs -0 sed -i 's/.(.*)/1/'[CODE]
Another question, can i just use -type f with out -name ? I am sure that all the files got the decimal point added as the first character.
This really doesn't make sense to me:
View 9 Replies View RelatedDoing "ls -a" provides a listing of the hidden files.To process all the .bak files you can do *.bak for:
that.bak
this.bak
But how do you process all the hidden files like:
.that.bak
.this.bak
What is the equivalent of *.bak for only the hidden files?
I have run a command which finds a lot of files based on some search criteria. It returns the files like so:
./somepath/somepath/file.something
./asdf/asdf/s.php
./etc/a.php
./a/b/c/d/e/f/g.jpg
So I was wondering, if I capture this output into a file (ie. one file per line), can anyone help me write a command which iterates through the file and moves the files one by one to a specified directory?
How can I make ls (or any other particular command) to list me only files bigger than a specific file size?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using ubuntu (natty), and when I use ls -l, the files are listed, but apparently the sorting algo ignores any special characters. For ages I've used underscores to mark special folders. And it seems to me, that they were always listed first. Now, the underscore is completely ignores. Let's assume that I have the files fileA, _fileB and fileC in a folder. Currently, ls -l orders them like so:
malbert@dredg:/tmp/1$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 malbert domain users 0 2011-08-03 15:27 fileA
-rw-r--r-- 1 malbert domain users 0 2011-08-03 15:27 _fileB

I've dug through the ls man page and could not find anything. Is there somewhere a system-wide collation option? Or something the like?
What I would like to do is to print the contents of all text files in a particular directory, recursively. Problem being that there are directories and possibly binaries scattered around in the filesystem as well.
Trying cat * works as long as there are no directories in there, but when there are it gives an error instead and prints nothing.
I'm sure it's easy using file -f or something but I can't figure it!
When I try to list files in directory. I am getting i/o error
#ls -l /test
I am getting i/o error. Why I am getting this error and what are these i/o errors.
My system is centos 5.5, and I need nobody:nobody's directories and files under data.
There is a directory named "data, and this directory has so many directories and files generated by web program. Most of them is nobody:nobody.

Is it possible to make a list of these directories and files?
just a general weirdness, but some folders that are in my /home folder don't show up. if i check "show hidden folders", they still don't show up. for all terms and purposes, they are simply not there. however, if i search for them through the search tool, or beagle, they show up as being in my /home folder. so, anyone have any idea how this happened, or how i can remedy this?
