I have about 1TB of data to sort out and need a good GUI package to find and safely delete the duplicate files. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 amd_64. Would appriciate any thoughts on how to get it done.
View 8 RepliesI would like to combine two arrays and delete duplicates that might occur. I tried to solve it like this:
Code:
combined=( "${results1[@]}" "${results2[@]}" )
printf "${combined[@]}" | sort -n | uniq
Example:
result1 (4 elements):
[Code]....
In my code printf seems to have a problem with elements that have the same letters but a space inbetween. For instance "new foo", "newfoo" are the same for printf
How can I find a list of files that are named duplicates i.e. have same name but in different case that exist in the same directory?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've got this line find . -type d -name 'elements' -exec rm -rf {} ; put together to find and delete all directories named elements and their contents.
It does work but whenever I run it I get the error/warning
Code: find: `./dir3/elements': No such file or directory
find: `./dir6/elements': No such file or directory

I want to use the shell to find .zip files in my music directory and all sub directories and then delete only these files. The following will find the files I want to delete
Code:find /home/me/Music/ -name *.zip -lsWhat is the next step to delete *only* these files.Would it be a good idea to move them to another directory before doing the final rm - how would I do this
Where can I find add/delete software in Yast. When I use Gnome I see this entry and on KDE 4.4 that entry seems to be gone.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a bunch of text files, all of them have a .txt extension. They are all located in subfolders of the /MyTextFiles folder (but could be anywhere, no idea what depth). If any line in any of the text files has the word "hello" I want to delete that entire line. I know sed and awk are made for this problem but I can't seem to get the syntax correct.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want find a bunch of log files and delete ones that are older than say 5 days. Ideally I would then like to add this my crontab to run once a day.
The log files are in /var/log and are owned by root. They have a standard naming convention which is [date]RootCronRsync-backupHOME.log An example file is 20100621RootCronRsync-backupHOME.log Trying to put together a bash script to do this I think I need something like
Code: find /var/log/ -name *RootCronRsync-backupHOME.log -mtime +5 -exec rm {} ; However if I try this without the -exec rm (ie to see if I can find the right files first) I get the following error find: paths must precede expression: 20090405RootCronRsync-backupHOME.log Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec] [path...] [expression]
I am trying to find and delete a file using this Code: find . -type f -name ph2964781400100954291.jpg -exec rm -f {} ; It does not work, I think because by default on my distro rm is iterative.

For every occurence of the ^L form feed character I need to remove 5 blank lines after it but still keep the ^L.
I am a rare user of sed and am ok with the basics but am struggling with this.
My bad it was the game not the controller I figured it out. I can't find a delete button though..........
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a series of file names in a text file that I generated by running
Code:
bash-4.1# ls -alt *.txz | awk '{print $8}'
and then copy pasting the output. All of these file names have the version number
Quote:
-4.4.1-x86_64-1alien.txz
I just want a method to remove that version number from all the filenames so that I can then add all the packages without version numbers to a blacklist file.
I've tried kwrite and mousepad and both have a search feature and a replace feature but I haven't been able to just have the text removed successfully.
I recently moved to a new machine, and I copied my entire home folder across. This included lots of hidden (starting with '.') folders, and in many cases they are config folders for packages which I have not installed on the new machine. They are taking up space, so I would like to delete them, but to go through manually and figure out which ones I need would be very laborious. Is there a way to find, and perhaps delete, config folders for packages that are not installed?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a directory containing a ton of photos, some of which are duplicates but just with different names. Is there any way in linux to find all the duplicates and remove all of them except the most recent version? I know on Windows there are utilities that will do this through a GUI, but I'm using Linux through the CLI only.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to find a string in a file ... then delete the line it is on, as well as the next 6 lines. Or, delete the line the string is on and all subsequent lines until the search finds the character "["
example:
filename = test.txt
contents:
[foo]
test>test
test>test
test>test
[Code]....
so, in this example. I'd like to search the file for string 'foo' and delete all lines from that line until [bar] (not deleting the line with [bar])
I have a file with a number of strings like the ones below
string1#m1asdfe23easdf23wefas
string2#mfaaeb2vr1rhserh
anotherstring#ji89ensrsegr
anotherone#m1ynmdt324nsdt
I'm trying to delete everything after #** so that
string1#maasdfeaveasdfawefas
string2#mfaaebvrserhserh
becomes
string1#ma
string2#mf
tried sed 's/#..*//g' but as you all will know it returns string1, string2 etc.

Code:
//Prototype
void leave(int sig);

tcl version is 8.5 whilst tk is 8.4.16-2 and tklib is 0.5-2. It seems that tcl is not able to find tklib so I wonder if there is a way to tell tll where to find the package.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow to check or find the real package name which must be installed for errors below:
There are to many package name if i search using (example) "yum search PythonLibs" or "yum search Threads" or "yum search Libintl". Even sometimes, the yum cannot find what we looking for exactly.
I was trying to build an RPM today and the compilation errored out because the file glibconfig.h couldn't be found. I managed to track it down to the package glib2-devel.The problem is that I couldn't find a way to do this via zypper. In Mandriva I would've just done 'urpmf glibconfig.h' and it would've told me that it's provided by the package glib2-devel.
Is there equivalent functionality in zypper? (glibconfig.h is an easy pick as being related to glib, but some header file names might be more obscure for example)
