How can I write a script that will go through the files in a directory and print on the screen the name of the files stating if it is a file or directory. The directory is already provided by the user.
View 12 RepliesI have a bunch of files that contain a date, then data. When I use join, I get exactly the output I need. But manually joining the first with the second, then that output with the third and so on would take days. I have thousands of files. Can any of you folks help me write a script that would do this?To put it another way, for clarity's sake, here is what I am currently doing
If I were to repeat that 3000 times the final output would be what I need. I know a simple script would do this for me, but I can't figure out how to write it.
I want to write a script that will detect all the unwanted files in a particular directory and delete them in one fly..

Specifically trying to figure out why I can't write files to a sub-directory of the chroot directory. I created a user test_user and created a group called sftp. I added test_user to the sftp group. I edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config as follows:
Code:
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
Match group sftp

In my tmp directory some logs are creating continue (with name logs.txt1, logs.txt2 up to 245). Some times these logs are creating continue within 1 or 3 second gap, now I want to write a bash script that continue monitor the tmp directory and if any time logs create simultaneously within 1 or 3 section gap it will alert me..( generally logs are create with the gap of 5 or 10 minutes duration or some time after one hours )

So far I have:

I have a folder of 2 many files that the old ls just hangs.
I am trying to write some log files such as;
I don't mind doing one at a time, but I am just playing and even getting the listing I am not getting the date stamp, I have the following;
That does create the file, but all the files look like this;
So basically it's just sticking that ls inside the log file and not actually running the ls, so how can I use the above type to get files just created per year?
I am trying to write a script to edit text files formatted like this:
Code:
(MCAL@Contig766:0.30207,CGIG@CVIR_Contig1014:0.13977,(HASI@HDIS_Contig573:0.16828,(CAPI@LCIN_5594371:0.36581,CFOR@FQH745302RIQ7Y:1.91244)0.160:0.00019)0.939:0.15648);
There are never line breaks or spaces in the actual files.
I want to delete all instances of the character "@" and everything between it and the next "," (including that comma) or the next ")" (including that close parentheses) whichever comes first. My desired output file would be like this:
Code:
(MCAL,CGIG,(HASI,(CAPI,CFOR)0.160:0.00019)0.939:0.15648);
I figured out how to do this using sed for either "," or ")" but both looking for whichever comes first.

works fine at moving all files anywhere below the current directory to the current directory.
My question is can it be modified so it only moves all the files up one directory layer? Otherwise I shall have to cd 100 or so times and run it in each directory i want to compress...
I imagine the directory below which the file is stored is in the % somewhere it is just a case of extracting it and applying it to the mv command, yes?

I once had a script that when run would find the first 800GB of files in a directory (including subdirectories) and write them to a file (ie: ./800gb.sh > manifest.txt).I used this to create manifests of 800GB worth of data from large directories in order to dump to tape (LTO4).I'm sure its gotta be a pretty simple script, but I am not very skilled at writing bash scripts.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI got a directory with files in it like: 2006-07-01.foo2007-08-04.foo I need to update the timestamps on these files using "touch -t 200607010000 2006-07-01.foo" on each file in the directory so I came up with the following one liner:
for i in `ls -1`; do touch -t `ls -1 | sed -n 's%([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})(.*)%1230000%p'` $i; done
My goal was to use sed and get the timestamp for touch and then loop through each file and touch with the timestamp.However the script, not giving me the results I intended. Can anyone chime in on what I am doing wrong?I have been banging away at this for a couple of hours now and am clueless on what it could be. I also tried another variant such as:
for z in $(ls -1 *.foo); do echo $z $(for i in `ls -1 *.foo | sed 's%([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})(.*)%1230000%p'`; do echo "$i"; done); done
I have about 50 files that the script will operate on, they are all located in the same directory.I need a bash script that will operate on all files in a directory. The script needs to add two lines to the beginning of each file based on the file name, and one line to the end of the file.A file named myfile.h should add these two lines to beginning of the file:
Code:
#ifndef MYFILE_H
#define MYFILE_H

Alright this works fine to pull the directories/files in the /var/Store/2010/ directory.
But when you click on of the links it tries to http://'serveradress'/$filename
note that $filename in the url is the filename clicked on so the php script is working. but I need it to change to that dir so that you can see the folder/files there and work your way up/down/side wise thru the folder tree to where you need to go. Not try and pop it as a direct url which doesn't work.
