General :: Osx - Get Folder With Largest Number At The End Of The Name In OS X?
Apr 22, 2011
I asked this question yesterday with Linux, but I realized I need to get it working in both Linux and OS X. Link to earlier question: Get folder with largest number at the end of the name in Linux. I have some folders r1, r2, r3, etc. and I want to get the name of the folder with the largest number at the end. How do I get the name? The ls -v solution looks promising, but I want to exclude all folders that don't follow the pattern r[0-9]*
I'm trying to find a script that will return me the largest number of repeating characters. Say, I have the following line in a text file: 12345AAAAA6789AAA
I want it to return 5, because "A" is repeated 5 times in this line (more than 3 at the end).
In Linux bash shell, for a given directory, how can I list:The create date for that directory The number of files in that directory The number of subdirectories in that directory.
I created a group, and after adding the users into this group, they have a /home/worksharing that is shared
Code:
addgroup teamnight --gid 2578
So that everyone of the teamnight can read/write data of the /home/worksharing , how can this folder be forced, so that all from it e.g. subdirectories, directories, files,... will take the GID group number 2578 of teamnight?
I would like to ask you if there is any maximum allowed number of files per folder in linux (without risking it to lose everything). I am using openuse 11.4 with latest kde (4.6?).
I am trying something fast and dirty and it might be that one folder will contain like 10^6 files.
Is there is anything I should be warned about that?
My folder have some files and I want to show the number of files on folder at "Total file on folder: " Ex: Monday folder have six files and it will show "Total file on folder : 6" when I run a script. This is my code :
#!/bin/sh if [ -d /home/kenzo/Monday/ ] && { echo "Monday" ls -l /home/kenzo/Monday/
Getting together a script that will add numbers to all the files in a folder.
I've ripped most of my CDs to oggs for my new pmp, but I found that the pmp doesn't like files that are numbered just as 1 and 2, as it thinks that the 2 is more than 10.
So instead of going through all of my music folders and renaming every file by hand from 1 to 01 and from 2 to 02, I'd ask if there's a script that can be executed to add these numbers for me. It'd be even better if it only added the number to the files with only one digit.
Here's an example:
I want to rename:
And I'd like to do it to all single-digit files lower than 10 in the folder, if possible. If not, I can isolate them by hand.
I'm dipping my toes into some bash scripting and was wondering if there was a way to delete a file not based on how old it is, but rather how many other files are currently in the folder... or something to that effect....
What I'm doing is creating a script to back up a folder nightly. I'd like to keep a maximum of 3 backups. However in case the script for some reason fails to run one night (computer turned off possibly) I don't want to set the condition for deletion to be the date.
I know that if I run:
Code: find /path/to/files* -mtime +3 -exec rm {} ; that it will delete everything older than three days. -atime and -ctime don't seem to be what I"m looking for... is there another command I can use to achieve what I"m trying to?
I'm looking for a script that can do two things: (1) determine the shortname of the user with the largest account in /Users and (2) look up their full/long name. I'm going to use this script to help identify who the user on a computer and while I know that's possible that a sometime-user may have a larger account than the normal-user on any given computer, the results of a script should be sufficient in most cases for my needs.I'm not sure the best way to around this. I know that can use "du -m -d1 /Users" as root:
root on torchwood [ ~ ]$ du -m -d1 /Users 157 /Users/admin
I have just tried to install Ubuntu 10.10 and cannot find the facility to'install into the largest free space on the drive'Am I searching in vain? Is it somewhere I have missed or is it in a different form?
After a terrible problem I had with x-server, I decided to opt for a clean install. So, naturally I poped in the 10.10 LiveCD (from Canonical), deleted the Ubuntu Partiton (ext4) and swap, and entered the installer. I have a 40gb Vista partition, 90gb media partition, and 20gb unallocated free space. Once I get to allocate drive space in the installation, I get three options - Install alongside other operating systems, erase and use the entire disk, or specify partitions manually. If I click install alongside other operation systems, it tries to take space away from my media partition to install ubuntu. I'm not too advanced with Ubuntu, so I don't think I'm going to specify my own. I don't know how much to give swap etc, etc, etc.What ever happened to use the largest amount of continuous free space? I have 20gb free I would love ubuntu to use.
I regret to see the lack of facility for Guided install into the 'largest unpartitioned space on the drive'. I cannot find it either in the Desktop CD, or the Alternate CD. It seemed to disappear in Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop CD but did stay in the Alternate CD. But in 10.10 it seems to have gone completely.I found it a really *very* useful facility for myself, and also when helping others - when all I had to say to them was - 'delete the existing partition/s, do nothing more expect then, install using the facility 'Install into the largest unpartitioned space on the drive'.
I need to search a bunch of files in a specific folder for a specific number and add all the numbers together to a total sum. I use Rsync everyday, everytime I run rsync i get a logfile (rsync output) witch contains the textstring "Total bytes sent: xxxxxx".
The "xxxxx" can vary in lenght. I need to extract the "xxxxxx" from each file and add the numbers together to a total size over a week or a month. Is this possible? And I wish to only use bash. One way of doing stuff at a time my friends .
I have a folderA that contains folderB that contains a lot of files. I would like to get rid of folderB, but not its contents. I want those contents to be inside of folderA. How can I accomplish this on the commandline?
I wanted to enable file sharing in for one of my folders under the home directory. I noticed that the 'not shared' and 'shared' always defaulted back to 'not shared'. And now I see what looks like an electrical plug icon symbol over the folder icon symbol like I might see used for some of the root folders. What does the new icon indicate about the folder attributes and why does file sharing default to 'not shared'?
Is there a way to recreate all the folders from one directory to another without copying over the contents of the folder? I've been trying to do something like this,
Code:for i in `ls $X`; do mkdir $PATH/$i; doneUnfortunately $i is deliminated by whitespaces in the filenames and not the actual folders.
$X contains only other folders so I dont have to worry about regular files but any kind of more "advanced" solution would work.
id like to lock a user into his websites folder not his home folder. and i dont want him to be able to veiw anything outside that folder, only be able to play with whats inside that folder. is this possible?
In the linux machine we need to mount a folder names sever under apps folder with the user as steve. Also the steve user should have the permission to create the files in the folder. As of now, its mounted as root user.steve is in list of sudo users.
How would i go about copying all .jpg or .JPG files from a folder and all its subfolders to my /usr/name/pictures folder? I'm guessing I'd have to use some sort of .[jJ][pP][gG] to get all the pictures from other examples i've seen, but really not sure how to use that in a recursive cp.
Is there a Commend to move the content of a folder -only image files no subfolders- to another destination folder?Actully, I had a look on the following post:Post tilte:Using mv to move the content of one directory into anotherFrom it, I tried that:
Code: # rsync -a SOURCE/ DEST/ But, it copy a folder as all to the distination.
I have an FTP account that when they log in they go to /var/ftp/uploads according to etc/passwd.I want to temporarily stop the uploads from coming in, but don't want to change the password on that account. If I rename the uploads folder to something else, what will happen when they go to log in since the /var/ftp/uploads path is no longer valid?
I got a folder that I transfer stuff to all the time. the folder is in chmod 775 but when i upload folders and files, they are given chmod 700, but i want it chmod 775 everytime i upload something. so far i have logged in to my linux computer and did a chmod -R 775 to the folder every time i uploaded something to it. is there a function somewhere to make it 775 everytime i upload or can i have something run a script, so i don't have to go in and write it everytime i upload something?
I was created one folder in linux with current time was 1978(For example). I was moved this folder to usb(FAT32 file format).While seeing this folder in window its not showing the folder time created time stamp, because the USB file system only support the year after 1980 . But again i am putting the same folder in linux ,its showing the correct time stamp.How is it possible? Because FAT32 only supports timestamp after 1980, but still its showing 1978 in linux system
I need to get the max number from the name of a file
Formant of the file name: [a-zA-Z]*_[0-9][0-9]_[A-Z][A-Z].log Delimiter as underscore '_'
[code]....
known part in the above file name will be GA.log A give directory may or may not contain files in the above format or may contain file other then the above format if so then ignore it.
cmd=> ls *[0-9][0-9]_GA.log 2> /dev/null | awk -F_ '{ print $2}' | sort -nr | head -n1 | awk 'BEGIN { if ($1 >0 ) x=0; else x=1 } END {printf "%02.0f ", $1+1}'
output=> 01
if there are no files the output should be 01 and if file(s) found the output should be next highest number+1, In the above example it is 06 My cmd is bit lenghty. reduce my cmd and it should be in one line.
