Programming :: Check If Any Directories Exist, Except A Certain One?
Aug 5, 2010
I need to find if, in a folder any directories exist, except a certain one named "mes croquis".What I am trying to say, is that the re already is a directory named "my croquis", which I have to ignore. IF any other directory appears, I have to archive them.I got everything so far, except the starting condition.In other terms , I am lookign for something like this:
IF anyDir EXIST AND name != "mes croquis"
do something
else
[code]....

I have a macro which I use with ROOT. In this macro I want to check if a part of string exist so I can ignore it inside a loop. So, inside a loop I want to have something like:
Code:
if (string == "pre_ti_data_bdt*" || string == "pre_ti_data_nn*")
continue;
but of course I cannot use * in this piece of code! How to do this trick in C++?

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.

I have one file called test.sh and in that file I have the below code. All this code is, is paths to three directories (as you can you can clearly see!).
Code:
#!/bin/bash
BACKUP="Documents /bin /sbin"
Now I have this other file which reads the directories (by using $BACKUP) and creates a tar file of everything in that folder. But what I am unsure of what to is create a bit of code that will simply look in test.sh, read all the directories and print a line saying either they all exist or some are missing. If possible it would be good to know which directories are missing too!
I have fiddled around with using -d but I can only get it to work for one directory or manually having to write out each directory.

I can do:mkdir messages and then: touch messages/hello.txt Is there a command that will do both - create the directory if it doesn't exist, and then the empty file? Something like: touch -p messages/hello.txt

I've got two files. They both contain package names. Is there any way I can go through the package list on one file, and search to see if each package exists in the other file? What I'd want to do, is if the package name is found in the the main file, then go to the next line. If its not found then print that package name to another file.
I know you can use diff, but it doesn't seem to be that straight forward. As I understand it diff searches line by line, so if line one doesn't match line one in another file, then it prints it out. That's not exactly what I want.
I just really need an easy way to filter out the additional packages that exist on a new server. If I have a list of packages that aren't on the original server, then i can just delete them.
Not sure if I've made any sense but there must be a quicker way to do what i need to. It would take me ages to scan manually through the package names in each list, and highlight the ones i dont need.

I'm porting code from Win32 to Linux, a math science app, the thing is that the app have full dependency of de win32 function _fpclass(). Today I was looking all day that function on Linux but it doesn't exist. I know that there are some functions that can make the job mixing them in a other one like in this link below, more or less. [URL]
Well the app use very high virtual memory, Gigas of it(around 500), use Linux as Calculation Server using a very large swap space. If we can't find some way to fix this trouble, we can change the Linux for some open *nix like Open Solaris, because those have fp_class_l().

I'm having problems figuring out the process to find directories that DO NOT contain a certain file. I have a mp3 collection that all the album art is name "folder.jpg". Not all the albums have images. I need a way to find the albums/directories that do not contain "folder.jpg". I can find the ones that do contain "folder.jpg" with
Code:
find . -iname 'folder.jpg' -print0 | xargs -0 ls >> album_art
but that is as far as my bash-fu can take me. I'm not really sure what my next step is.
My directory structure is like such: a-z/artist/album/folder.jpg

I'm trying to figure out how Make handles directories.
How can I modify this makefile so it will put all of the .o files in a separate build directory?
Code:
But make ignores this and still puts main.o in the base directory. And if I refer to the build directory in the dependencies for bandit, make complains about "no rule ..."
I want to keep main.cpp in the base directory, all other sources in the src directory, and all object files in the build directory.

I have tried this a million ways, got it to work once but it didn't work sitewide for some reason. I have a url: [URL] and I want it to be found by going to: [URL] I am using this
Code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/agents/tp/
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ agents/tp/$1/index.php [L]
and have also tried something as basic as
Code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/agents/tp/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ agents/tp/$1/index.php [L]
I keep getting "The requested URL /JoeAgent/ was not found on this server." why it's not working?

I need some direction on a small scripting question. I've been doing some development and storing the code on a network drive with multiple user access. My development is getting complex enough that it is time to set up a svn repo for it. I would like to set up a little script (if possible) that prints a message/reminder to whomever is accessing the code directory stating that the code is ultimately stored in svn and any changes need to be checked in, etc. Is there a way to have linux print a message to the screen based on a 'cd /specific_dir/' command? So far google is mum on the topic. Using Debian and bash shell.

I have been searching for a solution to the following problem:
When my distro of choice updates Firefox web browser, the directory name is '/usr/lib/firefox-<version>'.
The problem here is that the directory name is dynamic by nature and doesn't allow a simple static solution, e.g.
'cp -rf /usr/local/files/bookmarks.html /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/profile'.
The same quandary applies when adding extensions, changing prefs etc.
I have looked at the following commands:-
find, sed, xargs, grep, awk, fprint.
Unfortunately my grasp of syntax and programming is very simple at best.

I am supposed to create a script that displays the directories alphabetically with the size of each directory on the left hand size. I know you should use du to check for disk usage. So far i got the directories to display but not alphabetically.
Code:
du --max-depth =1
Example :
41921 Directory

I have mounted remote Windows share using CIFS and writing bash script for those files. However being a windows share since there is a space between directory names like "Program Files" and hence I am not able to parse it through bash script and script exits with error.
Does any one have any idea about how to perform the operation in script on such directories?
e.g.
cd /tmp/temp/Program
Error: No such File or Directory
cd Files/
Error: No such File or Directory

I'm in the midst of making a perl script and I was wondering if it was possible, to say, have a folder with 20 files in it, then move 5 files out of there, into a new one. I would like to to do this until the original folder has no more files in it, but I'm very stuck.

This simple task is proving harder then imagined. I have a multi-level directory that I'm trying to clean of duplicates, but I can't get 'find' to print what I need to see. To give an illustrative example, here is a dir:
Code:
stuart@stuart:~/testdir$ ls *
dir1:
level2:
dir1
So the output of find as i'd like it to work would show the two locations of dir1, which would be ./dir1 and ./level2/dir1. But no:
Code:
stuart@stuart:~/testdir$ ls -d */ | head -1 | find . "`cat`" -type d
.
./level2
./level2/dir1
./dir1
dir1/

It achieves a bash script that takes two parameters (command line). These two parameters must be two paths of two directories (existing, and different such as not being of the other sub-folder). Path1 and path2 are for simplicity.The script will recursively visit the two directories and all sub-directories, sub-sub-directories, etc.. Looking for differences between their contents (files or directories). In particular, suppose that we work with both path1 and path2 directory, and scanned the files contained therein. These situations can occur:
* Path1 exists in a file that is not present in path2: in this case, the script displays the path of the file to you (print screen) and asks if he wants the file is copied in path2 or not. Reads the user's response and acts accordingly.
* Path2 exists in a file that is not present in path1: in this case, the script displays the path of the file and asks if the user wants the file is copied in path1 or not. Reads the user's response and acts accordingly.
* Both path1 path2 in a file with the same name but different contents: in this case, the script displays the path of the two files (which of course will start with path1 and path2 but end with an equal) to the user together with the two dates have been changed last time. Then asks if you want the file to be replaced by one in path1 path2, or that the file is replaced by one in path2 path1, or that both are left unchanged. Reads the user's response and acts accordingly.
* Both path1 path2 in a file with the same name and same content, in which case the script does nothing and proceeds with the next file.This is done for all regular files in path1 and path2. The special file (socket, device, symbolic link ...) are ignored. For folders in path1 and path2 is recursively by:
* Path1 if there is a folder that is not present in path2: in this case, the script displays the path to the folder and asks if you want the folder and all its contents are copied to path2. Reads the user's response and acts accordingly.
* Path1 if there is a folder that is not present in path2: similar at first.
* Both path1 path2 that there are two folders with the same name as the script works recursively on the two folders.
