Programming :: Copy Files To Dynamic Directories?

Feb 14, 2011

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.

Programming :: Bash Script To Copy Files?

Jul 13, 2011

I have a lot of filenames (strings) following the same convention

m02_+1+7_London_0000$01.cfg
m02_+1+8_London_0000$01.cfg
m02_+1+8_London_0000$01.cfg

[code].....

What I want to do is to create a script that will interpret the following string and save into variables part of its name

m02_+1+7_London_0000$01.cfg as
------X-Y--City---------
X=1
Y=7
City=London

[code]....

then I want to copy the files that go all the files with the same City and X and Y to the same subfolder City/MX.Y I will need some help start doing that. And I think the first would be to get part of the filenames strings into variables.

Programming :: Copy Lines From Multiple Files To One File Using Sed -w?

Aug 25, 2010

I've been trying to sort this out for several hours and I?m totally lost? I?ve been searching around, but haven?t found the solution to my problem. I have a directory with 100 files. I need to copy 10 lines of each files (let?s say from line 45 to 55) into one unique file. So I guess I could use sed ?w, but I didn?t manage to write the right script. I also tried using a loop to create 100 different files, each one with the 10 lines) to concatenate them later on. But I only got 1 file, not 100.

Programming :: Automate Copy And Paste Of Files From The Internet?

Jul 28, 2010

Here is what I currently do and want to automate:

1) I manually enter a particular web site address in the browser.

2) When the page displays on my machine, it shows a number of links I need to visit, one after the other.

3) Each of these links display another page (file) from which I "cut and paste" information. I do this by highlighting manually the wanted info, click "copy" then select an open file on my computer, select "undo" if necessary to remove any previous content, click "paste" and then "save".

4) I then call a Yabasic program that reads the saved file and trims unwanted info.

5) At the completion of the Yabasic program, I click the web page tag, click the "back" button to return to the first page (since I am in the second) and click the next link in this first page till all links have been visited.

6) visit the next known web site and repeat 1 to 5

In an automated program, what I need to do is:

1) Visit the known page of the web site showing the links
2) save the page showing the links (the first page)
3) make a list of those links
4) visit each link one after the other and save its page from which I will programmatically (Yabasic) select info.
5) repeat 1 to 4

I can do this in "Yabasic" (which can issue Linux commands) or PHP although I do not know PHP much.the purpose of this is to associate towns and cities of the world with their respective political/geographical divisions and their respective time zone. This has to be done often because that data changes regularly.

Programming :: Shell Script To Copy Newly Changed Files With Rsync?

Apr 20, 2010

I've got quite a decent rsync script setup, however I'd like to invoke it whenever there's change to a file. My initial idea was to use find, however this has two major flaws - the first being my particular unix veriant cant understand -print0 which means this doesn't work, the second is that I'm not 100% sure how to put variables into quotation marks so ls can understand the target:

Code:

for i in `find /shares/ -mtime -1 -print`; do ls -ltr $i;done

Ubuntu :: Command Line To Copy Files From One Location To Another / Retain Source Files Group / User?

Feb 20, 2011

Is there a method at the command line to copy files from one location to another and retain the source files group and user?I'm migrating some MySQL files from one machine to another.I want to back-up the original files in the directory presently. They have owner:group of mysql, some have owner:group root:mysql and so on. To copy them under cli or Nautilus everything changes to root for I execute sudo cp or gksudo nautilus and copy via gui.

Since it is MySQL data I could simply do a dump of the database and restore it on the other machine. But there's about 20 db's and I want to do this via a copy for it will be faster - at least that is what I think.

Programming :: Copy An Entire Line And Add That Copy At The End Of The Same Line?

Feb 6, 2011

how do you copy an entire line and add that copy at the end of the same line?

For example, sometimes I rename a collection of files with a command like:

"mv oldfilename newfilename;"

I am able to add "mv" at the beginning, the semicolon at the end and sometimes replace a word in the middle, but... how to change a line "oldfilename" into "oldfilename oldfilename"... that is already long time a mystery to me...

Ubuntu :: Cannot See Some Files Nor Copy Them

May 5, 2010

I am upgrading a QNAP NAS - the unit only had 1 drive to begin with. I have taken this original drive out and hooked it to my ubuntu system and when I boot my machine ubuntu sees the volume that was the volume the qnap shared. and it sees MOST of the files. but when I go to copy stuff it gives errors stating things like 'can't copy data2.cab' - when I go the directory where it claims it can't copy data2.cab there is no data2.cab.

Thing is I am pretty sure there *IS* a data2.cab ... just that the rights or something are such that I cannot see / copy it. is there a simple command I can run on the *entire* drive that will set the ownership of ALL files so that I can see and move them? I just need to copy all these files over to the upgraded nas and then I can reformat this drive.
