May 3, 2011When I run "ls -al somedir*" (I use the "ll" shortcut, actually), Linux not only list files that match, but also the contents of directories whose name also happens to match.Is there a way to limit "ls" so that it will only show names (files and directories) and ignore the contents of the directories?

General :: Copy Contents Of One Directory Into Another
Jul 7, 2011I would like to copy the contents of a directory into another. I don't want to copy the directory and all files and directories under it, but just the contents of the directory just as if it were a regular file. Doing cp -r target dest copies the directory and the entire hierarchy rooted in it. I get error if I do not include the -r option. (I am calling cp from within a C program.)

Nov 5, 2009Is there a way to copy a directory (retaining the permissions and owners) without copying the contents of the directory?
If there is no such thing... then I need a way to determine if a target path is a file or a directory, and if it is a directory I need to make a new directory elsewhere that has the same name, owner and permissions.
Basically, I'm trying write a script to copy 200 GB of files over a network to a new server, and I'd like to do it by generating a list with the find command. That way, I can migrate large chunks of the files over the course of a week, and on the day of the migration generate a new list of files that changed in the last week and then copy just the chagned files over minimizing the down time. However, the list will contain directories that I can't just use the 'cp' command on because it will copy all the contents of the directory.
Software :: Copy A Directory Without Contents
Apr 28, 2009Is there a way to copy a directory without copying the contents, but preserving ownership, timestamp etc of that directory?
I've looked at the cp man page, but I don't think it supports it. I'm thinking one would have to write a script to gather the info, and then mkdir, chown and touch. Does this seam right?

Debian :: Contents Of Directory Gone After Accidentally Copying Symlin / Fix It?
Jan 17, 2011While doing some tidying up, in the process of moving some directories off my temporary mint kde desktop, I lost the contents of an important data directory on my data partition. Just to try to explain a bit of background, I have been using mint kde4 as a stopgap measure until I got squeeze working again ( i have been having graphics problems) and had a symlink on the desktop to a /data directory on my data partition. As I just got squeeze working again, I was moving stuff that had accumulated on the mint desktop to a directory named /2010 in the /data directory on the data partition, but accidently copied/pasted the /data symlink along with the 3 other directories I had highlighted. So effectively, I was accidentally copying the /data symlink to /data/2010. For reasons I don't understand, the whole of the contents of the /data directory disappeared, and it is now totally empty. I thought, that cannot happen can it? So I opened gparted and sure enough, that partition, which previously had about 70 gb of data in the /data directory was empty apart from /lost+found and an odd text file I had stored there. The /data directory is still there, but empty. I shut down Mint and booted into squeeze, thinking it must be a mistake, but gparted shows it has all gone. How on earth can this happen? I have some of the data backed up but a fair bit of the recent stuff isn't, so I need to recover it. I hoped the file system check that happened when I booted back into squeeze would maybe repair anything that got broke, but it showed as clean during boot.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Zip -x For A Directory - Subfolder Contents Not Being Excluded Recursively?
Dec 9, 2010I am attempting to use the zip command with the '-x' option to exclude a folder e.g. 'zip upload.zip public_html -x public_html/jquery/*'. However, parts of this folder are still being added to the archive. I made a shell script (saved as 'compress.sh' and ran as '. compress.sh') to do the archiving so I could test adding nested wildards for multiple subfolder levels.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
rm -f upload.zip
zip -r upload.zip public_html
-x public_html/jquery
[code]....
Each new line I added here that has the nested wildcards made the archive file size a bit smaller. Adding more /*'s than this didn't affect the file size. Even after all this though, there were still a couple megabytes of files and folders from the 'jquery' directory that were added to the archive.
Here's some examples of files and folders that were created after I unzipped the archive:
public_html/jquery/js/tablesorter/addons/pager/icons [folder]
public_html/jquery/js/tablesorter/addons/pager/.svn/entries [file]
public_html/jquery/js/tablesorter/build/.svn/text-base/js.jar.svn-base [file]
Why is it that despite all the -x lines, the files and folders like these were still being added to the archive? How can I simply recursively exclude the entire public_html/jquery folder from the archive?

Oct 8, 2010For the life of me I can not figure out what I am doing wrong with scp to copy a directory and its contents from a remote machine to my local host. I have no issues with getting a single file but would like to just save time and get the whole folder in one command.
Here is what I have tried:
scp user AT remoteMachine:/home/username/folderIwant user AT localMachine:/folderIwant this gives me a permission denied error and try again and received disconnect from localHost to many authentication failures
scp user AT remoteMachine:home/username/folderIwant . says can not find file or folder
I am sure this is something easy that I cant remember, and searches gives me local to remote not remote to local and trying to make the local to remote suggestions I read to work remote to local have not worked.

Programming :: Insert A Comment In Html File Based On Its Contents?

<h2>some text</h2>
in each file. I want to write a shell script/batch file to add this tag in <head> section of each file:
Code:
<!-- TITLE= "same text from h2 tag" -->
Note that <h2>some text</h2> in some files has 1 or more linebreaks and so I couldn't capture tag content using a simple grep or...
for example:
<h2>first part of text
second line of text</h2>
The line break shouldn't be shown in <!-- TITLE= "same text from h2 tag" -->. The script has to capture tag content & skip line breaks.
