Programming :: Updating Timestamp In Files In Directory?

Aug 20, 2010

I got a directory with files in it like: 2006-07-01.foo2007-08-04.foo I need to update the timestamps on these files using "touch -t 200607010000 2006-07-01.foo" on each file in the directory so I came up with the following one liner:

for i in `ls -1`; do touch -t `ls -1 | sed -n 's%([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})(.*)%1230000%p'` $i; done

My goal was to use sed and get the timestamp for touch and then loop through each file and touch with the timestamp.However the script, not giving me the results I intended. Can anyone chime in on what I am doing wrong?I have been banging away at this for a couple of hours now and am clueless on what it could be. I also tried another variant such as:

for z in $(ls -1 *.foo); do echo $z $(for i in `ls -1 *.foo | sed 's%([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})(.*)%1230000%p'`; do echo "$i"; done); done

Programming :: Sort Oldest 5 Files In A Directory Tree Recursively Based On Timestamp?

Jun 3, 2010

I have a directory listing with many subdirectories having many files. I want to recursively search for the oldest 5 files starting from the base directory and not 5 from each subdirectory. I am writing a shell script which sorts them using ls -lRtur|egrep "txt|jpg" > /tmp/file1 Now from this /tmp/file1 file I want to sort the files same as what the ls -ltr command does that is oldest file time to newest file time first. How do I sort based on Linux time stamp? The files itself also have Linux timestamps embedded in them So I can sort based after extracting them as well if it is easier.
My /tmp/file1 has entries like below.

-rw-rw-r--. 1 usr1 usr1 705 2010-01-22 17:25 sample20100603173659.jpg

I want to get the 5 oldest files and then delete them.

I am using makefile to complile all C Programming files. But certain files are not getting compiled and hence its object file is not getting generated.

Programming :: Updating XML Files Using A Shell Script?

Apr 1, 2011

I continue to work on automating the update and deployment of a vendors WAR files, and have bumped into my next challenge... The vendor provides web.xml files have entries that look like this

Code:

<context-param>
<param-name>siteminder.enabled</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>

I need to search the file for a param-name and replace the param-value below it with the correct value. I expect sed or awk is the trick on this, but I am not sure how to have it search for one line, and have it update the line below it.

Programming :: Modifying Timestamp Variable In Python?

Oct 29, 2010

I've implemented a python script in conky that shows my stock portfolio.But, in the output of last updated timestamp, I get a time several hours in the past. The url for fetching stock data is: [URL]This is a norwegian stock, and I also live in norway. So the timestamp is not translated to the stock market of where it came. I can't find any 'localizing' stuff in the url either.Now my question is this: The script puts the time into a variable, the varable now contains ex 11:23 Is there any way I can add 6 hours or so to this variable

Programming :: Bash Output With Timestamp Removing Duplicates

Nov 20, 2010

I'm writing a bash script to auto run on boot in Tinycore.

This is a watered down version.

Code:

I need it to either not add the time stamp if the awk finds a duplicate or write over the time with the new time if awk finds a duplicate.

BTW this is all pretty much cut-and-paste scripting so please feel free to comment if you know a more elegant way.

Programming :: Moving Files Up A Directory Layer?

Jan 3, 2011

find . -type f -name "*" -print0 | xargs -0 --replace=% mv % `pwd`

works fine at moving all files anywhere below the current directory to the current directory.

My question is can it be modified so it only moves all the files up one directory layer? Otherwise I shall have to cd 100 or so times and run it in each directory i want to compress...

I imagine the directory below which the file is stored is in the % somewhere it is just a case of extracting it and applying it to the mv command, yes?

Programming :: Script For Finding The First X-GB Of Files In A Directory?

I once had a script that when run would find the first 800GB of files in a directory (including subdirectories) and write them to a file (ie: ./800gb.sh > manifest.txt).I used this to create manifests of 800GB worth of data from large directories in order to dump to tape (LTO4).I'm sure its gotta be a pretty simple script, but I am not very skilled at writing bash scripts.

Programming :: How To Write Script That Would Use Join Across All Files In Directory?

Aug 19, 2010

I have a bunch of files that contain a date, then data. When I use join, I get exactly the output I need. But manually joining the first with the second, then that output with the third and so on would take days. I have thousands of files. Can any of you folks help me write a script that would do this?To put it another way, for clarity's sake, here is what I am currently doing

If I were to repeat that 3000 times the final output would be what I need. I know a simple script would do this for me, but I can't figure out how to write it.

Programming :: HTML / PHP Access To Files And Hanging Directory?

Oct 1, 2010

Code:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

[Code]....

Alright this works fine to pull the directories/files in the /var/Store/2010/ directory.

But when you click on of the links it tries to http://'serveradress'/$filename

note that $filename in the url is the filename clicked on so the php script is working. but I need it to change to that dir so that you can see the folder/files there and work your way up/down/side wise thru the folder tree to where you need to go. Not try and pop it as a direct url which doesn't work.
