General :: Find Command To Search Wildcard In Path?

Ubuntu :: Bash Completion With Leading Wildcard?
Jul 17, 2010Out of the box, Bash in 10.04 is configured such that it won't expand/complete parameters when there's a single match for a parameter with a leading wildcard. For example, if I have the following files in a directory:
Code:
ABC.bin
DEF.bin
GHI.bin
...and I type cp *E*, I expect to be able to press TAB and have Bash expand *E* to DEF.bin, since that's the only file in the directory with a capital E in its name.
(Note: if I actually submit the command with the wildcards in place, the correct file will be used then, but I don't get to see it beforehand.) I imagine there's something in /etc/bash_completion that's preventing this from working properly. Does anyone know what it is?

Programming :: Change Running Path In Bash
Feb 5, 2010We have a custom app that runs on boot on some older hardware running DSL linux, and their startup manager was quite simple. We purchased some newer Asus eeebox's which run xandros and things are quite stable and run nice with 1 exception.The application only runs from the root (/) location. This box auto logs in as 'user' and there is a /home/user/.kde/Autostart folder where you can stick scripts to run at boot. So I have a start.sh script, and with little bash programming tried things such as;
sudo cd /
sudo /startapp.pl
but the errors start spewing with the basic;can't find data/xyz as it's looking in the local.I thought there was a basic cwd (change working directory) but everything I try just forces the run from that location.Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated, but things like can you change the code, etc. can't be done, so it must be a programming thing. The only other thought I had but not sure, can you do a cronjob with @boot or something, that when the box starts, it can run this job as root and fire off?

View 10 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Bash - How To Expand Path Variable That Contains Spaces And Wildcards
Feb 15, 2010having bit of a trouble with path expansion of strings that contain some whitespace and wildcards First my script sources a configuration file that contains array assignments
Code:
...
BACKUP_TARGET_FILES[2]=/boot/config-* # no problems
BACKUP_TARGET_FILES[3]="/root/random dir with space/file*" # this is the problem
...
then later in the script I want to expand BACKUP_TARGET_FILES elements as below
Code:
IFS_DEFAULT="$IFS"
shopt -s nullglob
shopt -s dotglob
IFS=
[code]....
this code seems to work but I'm not quite satisfied with it. I'd like to get rid those IFS changes, but haven't found out a solution as of yet. Problem with default IFS seems to be that with it neither $pattern or "$pattern" work; it either interprets pattern as multiple words (because of spaces) and so expands to wrong paths or it ignores * because it's within quotes.

Slackware :: Slackpkg Blacklisting ; Can A Wildcard Be Used
Dec 15, 2009if I've missed this in the doc's, but I don't see the ability to "wildcard" blacklist for packages to _not_ be changed out via the slackpkg program.More specifically, I tagged all my packages like this:
mozilla-firefox-3.6b4-i486-1_OLDFOGIE.tgz
note the "OLDFOGIE" in my package name? So can something such as:
Quote:
*OLDFOGIE*
be put into slackpkg blacklist file?
Server :: Apache With Wildcard SSL And Virtual Host
Apr 28, 2009I'm using Apache 2.2 to host multiple subdomains using a single SSL certificate (a wildcard certificate e.g. *.mydomain.com) and, yes, it works! Everything seems to be served correctly and the browsers are pretty happy.
And you can also have the non-SSL sites (virtual hosts on port 80) on the same IP. (That's covered elsewhere)
For those that want similar functionality here's my discovery...
My configuration is like this:
ssl.conf:
Code:
I would have to say that I don't believe that this will work if you are not using a wildcard SSL certificate and having anything other than subdomains under that wildcard.
It is somewhat limited in scenario where this is useful, but for a set of company websites that should be under SSL, this can be tremedously useful when you have a single IP.
General :: Copy Wildcard Files From Directories For Matching
Feb 11, 2011I have 2 massive duplicate dirs of the same format as below:
dir1
subdir1
file1
subdir2
file1
subdir3
file1
...
Dir2 is the same, but it has some newer files of the same name. I want to copy all file1's from Dir2 to the same name and folders in dir1. So basically something like:
cp -pr bkpDir1/*/*-big.gif Dir2/*/*-big.gif
This works for singular cases:
cp -pr bkpDir1/uniquesubdir/*-big.gif Dir2/uniquesubdir/*-big.gif
But not for wildcards:
cp -pr bkpDir1/subdir*/*-big.gif Dir2/subdir*/*-big.gif
Anyway the aim is to do the first cp above, I have tried a few options using find. In trying to show an example stumbled upon a way that worked, while in dir2:
find */*-big.gif | xargs -i cp -rp {} ../dir1/{}
Sure there are better ways also...
General :: Move A File To Some Path And Create That Path When It Doesn't Exist?
Oct 8, 2010I use this command:

/uploads/2009/08/another-file-name.ext
... etc
I'm taking here about tins of directories, thousands of files. I'm looking to find a command that makes me able to move the results above to another path, and to create that path once it doesn't exist like below:
Code:
mv /uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext /old-files/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
But I want the executed command to create this path
Code:
/old-files/uploads/2010/02/

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Forcing An Absolute Path Where A Relative Path Is Expected
Feb 21, 2011I have a program that takes a relative path as input appends it to a some path string to get the actual path.
Now all I can input is the relative path. So if I want to go one level above my input will be ../mypath.
If I know the depth of the path used internally, I can use .. as many times to go to the root directory and then give the absolute path. But suppose I do not know the depth of the directory, can I construct a relative path string such that it considers it as a relative path. One way could be to have enough .. in the path string so that I can force an absolute path for some maximum depth of path.
Is there some path string syntax that I am not aware of but can achieve this?

Jun 14, 2011When I add some path in .bashrc by commenting out old path and adding new one like this:
#EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/old_play
EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/play
EXPORT PATH=$PATH:HOME_PLAY
After saving above changes, I enter the command: source ~/.bashrc Now if I do echo $PATH, the path shows both the old PLAY_HOME and new PLAY_HOME. This is really bad and messes up a lot of things in my project. This problem only goes away if I logout or reboot, a rather very long process. What is happening is that the old path is added to new path element and the old path includes the old path element you want to remove.
