Programming :: Bash - Recursive Find - Create Parent Folder - Moving File

Dec 5, 2010

I'm starting bash shell script and I'm looping without any solution.

I'm trying to find some files under a folder hierarchy and in case of errors moving these files to a destination folder under the same hierarchy recreating this hierarchy if not exists.

Finding all ._* files under /src and moving them to /dest recreating folder1 or the others which contains ._* files but without moving files which does not correspond to the pattern.

Code:

I tried find command and I'am getting all needed files

Code:

But I don't know how to use the output to get the parent folder of files which are found to

1- create folder with mkdir -p /dest/folder1 or /dest/folder1/folder4

2- move found files from /src/... to /dest/... with rm command

I'm working on a find command as this trying to do all in the same line but ... little lost

Code:

Programming :: Multi File Recursive Folder Search And Replace?

Aug 3, 2010

I'm wanting to mod some PHP files across a hierarchy and thought I'd drive it with find + grep + xargs

I built up a command line which I was confident would do the job, but now can't save the results.

First I tried this:

Code:
find . -name *.php | xargs grep serialize | cut -d: -f1| sort -u | xargs sed -i s/serialize/serialise/g
but that didn't work:
Code:
sed: illegal option -- i
so I thought I'd try using

Programming :: Test Permissions On All Files / Folders Into A Folder Recursive?

May 16, 2010

Way to test permissions on all files/folders into a folder recursive, then if those are not user:user then do :

Code:
chown user:user thatconcernedfile

The problem with that

Code:
chown user:user -R /folder

is that it is doing changes on file permissions whihch are already ok. If you wanna maintain a specific permission on a folder this is really not good this :

Code:
while [ 1 ] ; do
chown user:user -R /folder
# /folder contains 6.0 Tb
sleep 2s
done

Programming :: Find And Replace A String In A File Using Perl Command From Bash Script?

Feb 14, 2011

I wanted to find and replace a string from a perl file. I have written a script in bash which runs the following command.

perl -pi -e "s/$findstring/$replacestring/" testfile
where as $findstring = print F_WC_TMP"$line
";
and $replaceString = $line = join ' ', split ' ', $line; print F_WC_TMP"$line
";

But when I am running the above command, i think it is replacing the $findstring with the above mentioned string and hence it contains a $line, it is looking for the variable $line and not finding the exact string. I am confused about how to search for a string that contains $ in it and replace it with another $string.

OpenSUSE :: Zip A Folder But Not Include It's Parent Directories?

May 11, 2011

I use "zip -r" to zip the following folder:

/root/Desktop/administration/backup

....My only grip is that when you open the zip file, the parent directories are there too.

So within the zip file I have to navigate through "/root/Desktop/administration" just to get to the directory called backup.

Is there a way for me to zip the directory backup, and not include the parent directories? I want to be able to open the zip file and see only the backup directory listed.

I want to delete all files within a specific folder without actually deleting the folder, what is a good bash command for this?. I found this one but encountered some errors even though I am executing it within the specific folder:

useratdebian:/home/user/folder# find . -type f -exec rm -rf {} ;
[1] 5052
useratdebian:/home/user/folder# find: missing argument to `-exec'

The command as it appears is:

find . -type f -exec rm -rf {} ;

I have setgid permission on my home directory (/home/XXXX) the permission look like below.

Code:

If I create new directory in this getset folder the permission of getset folder could not inherit.

Programming :: Make A New Folder For Each File In A Particular Folder

Mar 28, 2011

I been using linux for a while, but I havent had the time to really learn it. Something Id like to get more familiar with is bash so here is a simple example of something I would like to do:

I have a directory full of files. For each file in the directory create a new subdirectory with each files name.

I tried this:

#im already in this directory
aaa=./*
for a in $aaa
do mkdir $a
done

One of the problems is that there are spaces () and - in the filenames so I get many subfolders with names like "-" which i don't want.

I tried stuff like:
aaa=./*
for a in $aaa
do mkdir "'"$a"'"
done

This of course also did not work.

Additional I tried just creating a folder with the name of one of the files and I got this:

mkdir: cannot create directory `(audio) - R56339.EXE': File exists
Well yeah a file exsists with that name, but I want to create a folder- why is there a conflict?

Just to be clear here are the contents of this folder:
~/Desktop/LAB/Media/Drivers - (Image Deployment)/Optiplex_GX260/XP> ls
(audio) - R56339.EXE (NIC-Onboard-Intel) - R54402.EXE
(Modem-datafax-V92) - R54403.EXE OEM_Applications

Ubuntu :: Inherit Parent Folder Permissions When Copying Files ?

Mar 28, 2011

I do have an Ubuntu Headless server which is running Samba on it. My mp3 file collection resides on that server on is being share.

So far, no problems connecting to that drive and writing from my Windows box on that share. But if I use my main laptop, which runs Ubuntu Lucid and download an mp3 song from Amazon, the moment I move that to the share, I got permissions problems from the Windows machine. This is clearly a permission issue with group and others; the song is being created on the share without read and write permissions to others or the samba group I created.

My question is. How can I make this process simple or automatic, when moving songs to the share? I don't want to go there everytime and run ...

Code:

Which was basically how I reset or fixed the problem.

I've read about umask, but not sure if that applies here or not, because I'm not creating the file but moving it.
