Enterprise Linux 4 (2.6.9-78 kernel)...rename not working! Need to insert "_T" at the end of every file in a directory, just before the ".extension"
I have tried sed substitution with no success (because I do not know the codes and effects of anchoring well enough).
An example filename:
My failed tests:

I have a directory with files like this:

And what I'd like is to have the files renamed like this:

How could I code it so that it removes the numerical part of the filename (at the beginning), even with different patterns (like the 01 - artist vs the 01-artist)?
I am using Debian Lenny 5.0.3 with a stock 2.6.26-2-amd64 kernel, and have a ~/Documents/HTMLS directory of 273.2MB (21590 files, 1063 sub-folders) which according to konqueror shows 1130 items - 572 files (60.8MB Total) - 558 folders, these were created by 'Save Page As' in Iceweasel 3.5.11. I am trying to copy the contents of this directory to a similar directory on a 2GB USB thumbdrive /dev/sdb1 which was partitioned and formatted as fat32 by Qparted. Problem is that the copying ceases after about 6 files transfer. I found that (as I am sure you know) the named.html files come with a matching named_files folder, and often there are what appear to be invalid characters such as '*','?',and ':' in the filenames in said named_files folders.
After exhaustive googling [I know we all say that] I found an instruction:
Code:
pax -rw -s '/[*?:]/_/gp' stuff /fat32/partition
that changes the name of the files, replacing said characters with '_', but whilst I can get pax from my repos, I really don't want to 'archive' the files - since I understand that pax was created to bridge a war between tar and cpio - because I want to be able to read the html files on an old (not connected to the Internet) WinXP tablet. So, I believe that I need to create a script, that scans all the filenames, greps and seds to replace said 'unacceptable' characters. I am assuming that Firefox on the Tablet PC will be able to open the htmls if I can get them onto the thumb drive. Are there any other known characters in filenames that M$ file systems can't handle?
My problem is to insert one sign like space or ':' into a line or string.The goal is to get a demiliter for `cut`.I tried to do it with `tr A-Z "'A '-'Z '" and such but without success.I guess a while read loop could do it but I don't know howto use it with ` expr length $STR`

The output of the ls command is expected:
Code:
ls *.flac
gives:
Code:
a.flac
Removing the extension with basename works as expected:
Code:
basename a.flac .flac
gives:
Code:
a
Putting the above command in a variable substitution works as expected:
Code:
echo `basename a.flac .flac`
gives:
Code:
a
Using xargs with ls and a variable substitution works as expected:
Code:
ls *.flac | xargs -i echo `echo {}`
gives:
Code:
a.flac
However, when I try to add the basename command to the above command, it stops working.
Code:
ls *.flac | xargs -i echo `basename {} .flac`
gives:
Code:
a.flac
Whereas the result I expect is:
Code:

Why is it not working, and how do I make it work?

How can I set a pattern that will output a filename equal to the original filename? E.g.
something.mp3 → something.ogg
And why isn't this implemented in SoundConverter?
PS: {Filename} doesn't work.
What is the difference between filename and ./filename? Under what circumstances is one preferred to the other?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've installed ethernet adapter, it is made in china from a manufacturer called FOX. The driver for that adapter is supported for sco linux kernel version 2.4.x and 2.5.x .However, I'm using Centos5 but the OS didn't recognize the adapter alone, so I'm trying to follo instructions on the driver on the attached CD.
The CD contains file named "SC92031.c", the instructions tell me to do the following "Compile the driver source files and it will generate sc92031.o"
I have over 50 files names with spaces in them.
I'm trying to use a for loop as such:
However, when I print the $filename in the script, the script prints out parts of the filename because of the spaces in the file name.
For example, say the file name was Star Quest.php
When the script executes one $filename would be Star and another Quest.php.
How could I account for this? Something like $'filename'
Since I'm not building a specific piece of software but a shell script, I hope this is in the right forum. At work, we use RHEL for the basic system but have Windows clients attached as well. On the Win side, there's a program that I'm trying to duplicate on the Linux side. Because of established procedures, I can't change the way files are named so please don't suggest I do that (my boss would not be happy). We have files stored on an NFS share we manipulate on either side.
The program is used to copy files from one directory to another, based on the filenames. The first two characters of the filename are ignored (they're for human-readable sorting purposes only), the next four characters are the time, and then all characters after that are ignored. The time is read and the file gets copied at that time. (This was all done in VC++ many years ago, and nobody knows where the source code is.) For example, a file named 2d0730abcd.txt would be copied from the source directory to the destination directory at 7:30am.
It seems to me that it should be fairly straightforward to build a shell script on the Linux side to do the same thing, but darned if I can figure out which magical combination of commands to use. Would the shell script end up creating a giant pile of AT commands?
I need a command to find the all files which filename contains the text "SomeText" and to delete that files!From /home/movie/wp-content/uploads/this folder I have lots of files and folders .Also I need that for folders and subfolders who contains some text in folder name "someTextInFolderName"

I have a directory of orchestral music .ogg files from a family member. Each track is from a different artist and the CDDB entry adds a ":" character after the artist name in the track title.
Here is an example of what I am referring to:
Code: Select all13_-_Mozart:_Sonata_in_A_major_KV_331.ogg
I would like to parse file names in any given directory and search for the string Code: Select all: and replace it with Code: Select all_ According to this post on stackoverflow, I can use Perl to accomplish this task. I've tried Code: Select allperl -i.bak -pe 's/:/_/' but since I am still learning Perl I'm probably commiting a PEBKAC error.
How would I go about solving this issue with regular expressions using Perl?
I am in need of a way to check that the same file exists within two different directories using a filename as a variable. Here is the process which requires it: The script is reaches out (via ftp) and pulls down a file(s) and delete it afterwards. This is halfhazard because in the instance it doesnt pull down the file, yet still deletes it, we are up a creek. I am looking to pull it down to a temp location and then verify that file exists in the location in which it needs to be present to process before deleting it, adding a little extra layer for security. The script itself is finished.If I put a file name in manually it works perfect. I just need a way to pump the filename into the variable.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a single directory of pairs of files, with the pairs sharing a string as the beginning of the filename:
SF1-27F1492R-clone01_T3_A18_001.ab1
SF1-27F1492R-clone01_T7_A20_002.ab1

SF1-27F1492R-clone02_T7_A21_004.ab1
...etc
I need to create a subdirectory for each pair then move the pair into the subdirectory.
I accomplished the first step using:
$find /foo -name '*T3*' -exec mkdir '{}.wrk' ;
I can use a regex to designate the pair and associate the directory, but how do I use regex in a path as the output of a move command?
i have lots of files with dots insde file name for example:
document.1.is.bigger.doc
resume.version12.doc

i want to rename all files in that directory to be the same (with same extention) but convert dots to underscore "_"
how can i do that on bash script / php.
