Programming :: Rename Files Based On Database Entry?

Jul 8, 2010

I was hoping to get some pointers on how to rename files based on database entry. I got hundreds of thousands of files that has GUID name assigned to it. only way to find out the file name is to look up the database table. Its obvious that this is not efficient. I couldn't find any tutorials on how to do this. Please point me to right direction. A starting point would be very helpful.

Programming :: Bash-code To Rename Files Based On Config File

Apr 12, 2010

I'm writing a bash shell script that among various other things will traverse through a directory with hundreds of files and rename those who match a pattern found in a config file. It's expected that only about one in ten files will actually match, and those who don't, will simply just be ignored for this purpose.

This should for instance cause the file "dBase program file December 1987.prg" to be renamed "Clipper source code December 1987.prg", and conversely "C++ source August 1996.cpp" to be renamed "C source code August 1996.cpp" etc.A sample file such as "Random Data File.dat" should not be renamed here since it's not mentioned in the config file..What is the quickest, most elegant way to do this in bash?I am thinking of using bash's built-in regex matching combined with the /bin/rename utility, but don't quite know how to get started to catch this..I guess there are plenty ways of doing this in perl and elsewhere as well, but since this has to integrate into a pre-existing bash script, that's what I'm looking for.Anyone out there with a spare moment to offer a hint in the right direction?

Programming :: Automating Data Entry Into MySQL Database?

Jul 19, 2010

I have set up a MySQL database which has only three fields for user-name, password and index number. But there is a LOT of data (thousands of columns) which would take too long to enter manually. I'm sure MySQL must have a file format whereby a single large file containing different data types can be successfully automatically imported and the various data elements distributed to their intended fields. Does anyone know which characters MySQL uses as field seperators for this formatting of data, or is there a program already written which can take raw data and organize it into a SQL compatible file?

Ubuntu :: Sequentially Number Files Based On Date Modified - Rename Cli

Nov 8, 2010

Sequentially number files based on date modified (rename cli)

I'm almost done a larger script which takes all the pictures in a folder, converts it to video, and emails it to me. Everything worked fine until I realized the picture filenames weren't always starting at 1, then ffmpeg chokes.

I have a bunch of files in a folder which I need to rename to:

I don't want to install any additional packages and I'd like this to run in a single command if possible.

If not possible, then a bash script would work too.

Programming :: Rename Files Matching A List?

Jul 12, 2009

Is there a way, preferably in python or BASH, to rename files from a list? for instance, track1.mp3, track2.mp3 should be renamed to the names stored in a file listing song names. I have tried to loop a variable through directory listing and renamed them, only to find that filenames with spaces can't be assigned to a variable as a whole. To solve the problem above, I have tried the read command in BASH, which enables the program reading line by line from a list. However, It was failed to pipe the results from directory listing to the read command.

Programming :: Bash/korn Script Rename Files To Same Name One At A Time?

Jun 23, 2009

I have scowered the internet for the answer to this one. I need a script to rename multiple files to the same exact name, run a program on the file then do the same for the next file. We have a unix backend system that is expecting to load the file with the filename of cards.in So I will have files named card.2009xxx, like i said i will have around 4 or five of those. I want the script to rename card.2009xxx to cards.in, run our unix program on cards.in which inturn changes the file name and once complete i want the script to rename the next cards.2009 to "cards.in"Until there are no more left in the directory and the unix program has processed all the files. All of this is occurring in the same directory. I have written some scripts but they fail by moving for example cards.200901 to cards.in then immediately moving cards.200902 to cards.in and that is not good because it is overwriting valuable data

Programming :: Rename Files Recursively, Only Keeping Last X Digits Plus Extension?

Nov 29, 2009

My problem is this:I have a number of directories, all containing files of different name lenghts, including letters, numbers and possibly spaces. I want to recursively rename all of these files, so that only the _last_ 5 digits (not counting the extension) remain. In other words: I want to cut off all but the last 5 digits and not touch the extension.

I've tried to read up on tr, rename (perl version), sed, cut etc. and browsed through some threads here, but so far couldn't quite figure out how to do it.

If someone could point me to the right (standard) CLI tools and syntax.

I recently moved into a new place and when I hooked up my webserver, I wasn't able to bring up my page, even from localhost. With some digging, it seems that I can't access the database that housed my posts (wordpress installation). I looked for the datadir in MySQL and that directory shows the wordpress directory that should be holding the database and all the files are still there. 1) why the database no longer shows up 2) how to restore the database from the files?

Programming :: Separate Out Files Based On Name?

Apr 1, 2011

I have a folder named Pictures that contains a bunch of .jpg files. My problem is that they all have randomly numbered names, then there is a duplicate of the file that is random numbers then the letter a right before the .jpg.for example, there would be 123.jpg and 123a.jpg, where 123a.jpg is just a resized version of 123. What i'd like to do but have NO clue how to, is to have a script or something go through my Pictures folder, then copy the ones that end in a.jpg to a folder called Resized, and ones that dont have that to a folder called Originals. That way my Pictures folder will be in tact, and i'll have copies of them all separated out.I have to do this all through the CLI on a machine, maybe I dont even need a script and can just do it with a slick command?

Ubuntu :: MySQL GUI/frontend For Database Entry?

May 6, 2011

When looking for MySQL GUI, I find many applications which provide a frontend to database management.I am looking for a GUI for database entry, rather than database management, approximating Glom or VFront, but Glom is buggy (and development sluggish) and VFront difficult to get set up.Ideally, I would have my own private (GTK, say) data entry tool, which would look much like an HTML form, with labelled fields for the MySQL columns, Previous/Next buttons, saving the current row and moving you up/down to the next one, radio buttons or drop-down menus for columns with limited entries, etc.Of course, [Tab]-navigation and keyboard shortcuts [Ctrl]+[C], etc., should work as well. (Yes, that is very annoying about Glom, for example.)

Ubuntu :: Script To Rename File Based On Mime Type?

Jan 9, 2011

I have a folder containing the output from Windows XP "File and Settings Transfer Wizard" - the folder refuses to be imported into any flavour of Windows and the original windows system is no more - so I found a little program called fastconv [URL] which extracted all the files but fails to rename them - been working on this solidly for 3 days now, there are 47,000 files in 20gb, so naturally the customer is very concerned.

I noticed that Ubuntu cleverly recognises the type of file, assuming its looking at the contents of the file rather than the extension.

Is there any way I can automatically rename the files based on the mime type?

Programming :: Moving Files To Directories Based On Part Of Filename?

Jul 6, 2010

I have a single directory of pairs of files, with the pairs sharing a string as the beginning of the filename:

SF1-27F1492R-clone01_T3_A18_001.ab1
SF1-27F1492R-clone01_T7_A20_002.ab1
SF1-27F1492R-clone02_T3_A19_003.ab1
SF1-27F1492R-clone02_T7_A21_004.ab1
...etc

I need to create a subdirectory for each pair then move the pair into the subdirectory.

I accomplished the first step using:

$find /foo -name '*T3*' -exec mkdir '{}.wrk' ;

I can use a regex to designate the pair and associate the directory, but how do I use regex in a path as the output of a move command?

Programming :: Bash Script: Sort Files Into Directory Based On Data In The File Name?

Sep 28, 2010

I have very little linux experience. And need some help with a bash script. I need to a script I can set cron to run to sort files out of a holding folder into final folders. It doesn't necessarily have to be bash, but I think it would be sufficient for this. File names are formatted as such when created: Dest-Date-Time-CID-Destination# I want the files to be moved from a all in one holding folder to a folder structure like this.

.../storage/year/month/day/Destination#/VarX(type)/hour/CID/'File'

I would need an if/else if/else statement to say if Dest = A set VarX = B If for example the file name was

infinity-20100927-17:00-1112223333-4445556666.wav

I would like the above file to end up moved from

.../holding

to

.../storage/2010/09/27/4445556666/Inbound/17/1112223333/infinity-20100927-17:00-1112223333-4445556666.wav

So the script will need to make directories based on information in the file name which is delimited by single dashes. Then move files from the holding folder to the newly created "sorted" folders.

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.

Server :: A Database Based Search Command?

Jun 10, 2010

I was not in touch with linux for couple of years now. So I forgot a command I used to use. I recently installed Fedora 12 and I can not remember what was that command.Here is what it used to do: I remember that I used to run a special search command on server that used to find a file very fast because it was kind a database based command. To enable it for first time after linux installation, I used to build an index of computer's files and then I could use its command [don't remember if it was "find" or "search"].

So my question if anybody know what I am talking about and what is name of these two commands. How can I build the index first.
