General :: GUI Application For Finding / Deleting Duplicate Data Files
Jan 10, 2011I copied a back up of my windows 'my documents' fold and all of its' sub folders into my linux (Mint Debian) Documents directory. I found that many of my files can be found in more that one directory so, what I want to do is to find all the dups and deal with them. Is there a good linux application to resolve this 'duplicates' problem. (I don't want to touch the linux system files.)

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Deleting Folders That "don't" Exist?
Jun 26, 2011My problem is that I have a folder that had been "lost", aning that it isn't seen by either Windows or Ubuntu. I was able to recover the data from the folder by using a program off the Ultimate Boot CD for Windows called Handy Recovery, but I don't know how to get rid of the folder and files I had backed up. "What's the problem if it's gone?" you might ask? Because the hard drive space is being taken up with the files. I can't access these files, yet they are still there taking up space.What programs are available on Ubuntu that will get rid of these files (and these files *only*) without wiping out the partition?

Sep 1, 2010I am working through a collection of many thousand photographs in many collections, spanning decades. One of the folders is a "Selected_images" folder which should only contain copies of images from the collections.
How can I check that the files in "Selected_images" are all indeed copies and have an identical counterpart somewhere in the collections hierarchy, not necessarily with the same name?
At present I am scanning the output of fdupes -r collection, which is tedious (although, in fact, no photographs should ever be duplicated except in "Selected_images").

View 4 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Duplicate Files And A Basedirectory ?
Dec 28, 2010I have two directories, I want to know which files in the second directory also appear in the first and delete the duplicate in the second directory. Filenames might be different (so that rules out diff).
My problem is that various programs (such as fdupes and freedup) are very capable of finding duplicate files but randomly delete (or link) files from the first or the second directory.
Here an example with fdupes:
Code:
As you can see, the file in the third pair is removed from dir1 instead of from dir2. My aim is to have only files deleted from the dir1. I know that fdupes can't do this, as I emailed with the author.
General :: Searching For PHP Files With Find And Grep
Nov 2, 2010I am looking for all the files that contain the text string 'moo.sql'. I ran the following:
find . -name '*.php' | grep -lir 'moo.sql' *
Unfortunately it seems to return non-php files in addition to php files. I thought the find portion of this would filter the file names so grep would only search php files.
General :: Recursively Searching PHP Or HTML Files
May 5, 2010I'm a frequent user of grep. I know that I can recursively search a directory using the -r flag:
Code:
// will recursively search all files
grep -r 'some string' *
However, if I want to limit my search to PHP files, the -r flag is suddenly useless:
Code:
// for some reason, this only searches the PHP files in the current dir
grep -r 'some string' *.php
Any good way to recursively search a directory and its subdirs for a string but ONLY look at PHP or HTML files (and possibly TXT files too) ? I'm really hoping for a nice, short command that doesn't involve using an exclude file and which isn't really painful to type. I do this kind of search very frequently and have resorted to either searching EVERY file which is really slow (TAR and ZIP files really slow it down) OR typing repeated commands to search *.php, */*.php, etc.

View 2 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Bash Function For Searching Files ?
Jun 15, 2011I'm making a small script for searching and doing some operations with photos, but I'm kinda stuck on this little function:
Code:
function findallformat {
prefix=""
if [ $1 = -pre ] then
[code]....
That function should find for every file with a certain type; and you can specify a prefix using a "-pre" followed by the prefix that you want to search. The format should be "stackable", so you can use as many types that you want, without repeating the same function on the code.
Example: findallformat -pre IMG_ .JPG .CR2 #That should search files that start with "IMG_" and finishes with .JPG and .CR2. My problem it's that, when I try to use it on the script, it says "bash: syntax error near `token' unexpected `}'"
Ubuntu :: Write A Script To Go Through And Delete Bulk Duplicate Files?
Jul 7, 2010I am using my Ubuntu machine to serve as a media server and network storage. The problem I have is iTunes on my desktop managed to make 2 copies of every song on the machine so instead of the 30GB I have its up to almost 100gb. I was wondering if there was a way to write a script to go through and delete the duplicates. The duplicates are the same filename as the original except a 1 or 2 following. Wasn't looking forward to deleting 12,000 files by hand.

Programming :: Script To Remove Duplicate Jpg Files
May 25, 2010Thanks y'all for the great script and explanation. This helped a lot in my own project. I thought I'd share the efforts.The project is this: I've got lots of duplicate JPGs from all the family members who've named the same photo with different names. Since md5sum generates a "fingerprint" based on the file contents, not the name, I want to use the md5sum of each jpg to uniquely name each photo and also remove exact duplicates.
It has the following flaws:
0) it doesn't handle certain non-alphanumerics
1) it keeps both photo-shopped and unaltered photos (different md5s)
2) it (currently) doesn't preserve descriptive filenames.
(For me, removal of duplicates is more important than keeping the filenames. I may change that to concatenate the md5 and the filename.)Please note that the commented "rename" command should be used to strip non-aphanumerics from the file names, and the script should be launched with the commented "find" command.

Apr 20, 2011I was trying to develop a script which needs to check the count of files on hourly basis and if it find any addition it has to sftp and send a email on the status with filenames and number of files copied via sftp. I will put it on cron to run every hour.
I'll use ls /abc|wc -l to count the no. of lines for the first time and from then whenever a new file will be inserted it'll copy that file to another location or I'll take the date of the files and whichever is having a new date that will be copied to another location.
