General :: Recursively Cp All Directories, Files And Hidden Files?

May 17, 2010

Ubuntu 10.04

I want to copy all directories, files, and hidden files and hidden directories with one command. I want these items to replace any same items in the target directory.

I have tried several things, such as:

cp -r *
cp -aR *

but I only seem to get visible files and directories. Obviously, I am missing something. (A brain, probably....)

Ubuntu :: Rm Directories Only - Not Files - When Doing Rm -r Foo*

Feb 28, 2011

How do I delete just directories and not files when performing a "rm -r foo*" command? E.G. I have foobar.txt foofoo.o foorebar.jpg and foo/ foonuggets/ and footemp/ in a directory. In one fell swoop how do I delete just the directories and preserve the files?

Seeing as how I only use the -r switch when removing directories I accidentally ran this command and removed files that I wanted (luckily nothing vital). Lesson learned now I want to prevent ever doing that on files that *are* vital.

Ubuntu :: Moving Files From Multiple Directories?

Apr 16, 2010

I have a directory tree with lots of folders. I need to gather all files of same type, say .txt, and place them in a different folder all by themselves.

I know I can use the mv command, but it won't let me go through all the subdirectories of my folder, just the current one. How can I search through all subdirectories for all .txts or whatever and move them to a folder of my choosing?

Ubuntu Servers :: Cp Only Copies Directories And Not Files?

Sep 27, 2010

I am trying to copy the files from my WHS disk to my Ubuntu Server disk. I have the windows disk mounted at /media/WINDOWS and I want to transfer to /storage so I ran;Code:sudo cp -r /media/WINDOWS /storageIt takes about 4-5 seconds and is complete, but there is about 500 GB worth of data there so I know it didn't really copy everything over. When I look at the files in console it shows them, but when I look at the /storage through SAMBA on my Windows machine, it only shows the directories.?

Ubuntu :: Files/directories Have Disappeared (removed)

Nov 16, 2010

This is the second time it happens : I have some files/directories that have disappeared.The first time was:

- /home/$USER/.vimrc
- /home/$USER/.thunderbird

And now, it's my folder:

/home/$USER/document

which was more important. Is there any known issue about that ? I have sometimes a file system scan when I startup my computer. Is there a relationship by any chance ?

Ubuntu :: Files (30 Second To 5 Minute Clips) Spread Out Across Several Directories?

May 18, 2010

I have about 50GB of .MOD video files that I need to compress to a smaller format. The only problem is that there are many files (30 second to 5 minute clips) spread out across several directories. I was wondering if anyone knew of a tool that will recursively search the directories and batch convert all of the files? I'm open to anything including a good script for mencoder or ffmpeg.

Ubuntu :: Nautilus Action To Find Files In Directories

Aug 27, 2010

When I am in Nautilus, I want to be able to select a directory, then right click (or some other action) to do a file find on that directory. The gnome-search-tool would be a good candidate for this, if it could be an action in Nautilus. I know I can do a file find through other means, but Nautilus seems to be where I am when I want to search directories.

Ubuntu :: Find Files With Directories And Sort By Mod Time?

Dec 4, 2010

what i wanted to do was find all the files with a specific name from a tree, sort them by modification time and have their directory appended to them so that i knew where they were (because they all have the same name). i tried a whole bunch of different things and finally did this:

Code:
find . -type f -name world.sav -exec ls -l '{}' ; > ~/dfsaves.txt; gawk '{$1=""; $2=""; $3=""; $4=""; $5=""; print}' ~/dfsaves.txt | sort -n > ~/dfsavessorted.txt

this did the trick pretty well, but as you can see it is far from elegant and i think i'm doing some things wrong and kludgy

first thing i tried was "ls -lRt | grep world.sav" which worked except i couldnt distinguish the files because there were no directories. that took a lot of looking till i accepted i couldnt make ls print directories as well and append them to the files somehow that their relationship would be clear. i tried piping ls to find, doing it in reverse, passing them from grep etc. etc. until i read some more stuff online that got me using gawk and sort. the questions:

1. is there some other, more elegant and simple way to do this kind of detection and sorting?

2. is there any way to use a pipe after using exec? the semicolon seems to prevent this entirely, forcing me to use an intermediate file as above. i could just remove it later, but i'd prefer a straight piping.

Ubuntu :: File Browser Applet - Files In Different Directories ?

May 5, 2011

I used about all available OS 's. In all systems I used a quick acces system like the file browser applet in Ubuntu. In fact I "cannot live without", specially if I am working on jobs and I have to work with a lot of files in different directories. Opening lots of folders and endless clicking is really not an option to me. Does anyone know if there is such an applet or possibility in Unity (because gnome 2 applets will not work in Natty)?

Ubuntu :: Installing Car Whisperer - Files And Directories Not Found

Mar 28, 2009

I am a pretty new user to linux, I am trying to run a program called car whisperer. The file can be downloaded here trifinite site - the home of the trifinite.group the readme says to install just type $make #make install but this does nothing and I am not sure how to install it. There is a file called makefile which I try to run in terminal but it just gives me all sorts of errors about not being able to find files and directories. I have seen it run and the person simply types ./carwhisperer to run the program but I also get no directory or file here as well (probably cause I have not installed). I was able to install some programs using sudo apt-get install (filename) but I haven't found this command to work for this program.

General :: Remove Directories That Only Contain .txt And .log Files?

I'd like to remove all directories of a certain depth that don't contain .txt or .log files -- is this possible? So far I have: find ~ -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 4 -type d -exec rm -r '{}' ; Is it possible to add in "only if the directory doesn't contain .txt and/or .log files"? Or do I have to start learning perl to do that?

For example:

General :: In What Order Are Files And Directories Copied When Using Cp -R?

Jun 26, 2011

If I execute the following command:
cp -R /myfiles /mydestination


If myfiles contains several sub-directories and files, in what order will they be copied? For example, directories might be named 0123a, 9993c, myfolder, xfolder.

They are not copied in alphabetical order OR in date order OR in the order they appear when using a standard ls command as far as I can tell, so what actually does determine the order?

Edit:
I am trying to determine the order that the cp command uses in order to determine how far along my copy command made it before it stopped. For example, I was hoping to be able to determine it copied 3 of the 4 directories successfully.

Programming :: Copy Files To Dynamic Directories?

Feb 14, 2011

I have been searching for a solution to the following problem:

When my distro of choice updates Firefox web browser, the directory name is '/usr/lib/firefox-<version>'.
The problem here is that the directory name is dynamic by nature and doesn't allow a simple static solution, e.g.
'cp -rf /usr/local/files/bookmarks.html /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/profile'.

The same quandary applies when adding extensions, changing prefs etc.
I have looked at the following commands:-
find, sed, xargs, grep, awk, fprint.
Unfortunately my grasp of syntax and programming is very simple at best.

Fedora :: Cannot Compare Two Directories And Print Files

Sep 12, 2010

I have to write a script that accepts two directory names (JIIT, JUIT) as positional parameters and checks which files are identical in both directories and files having same contents are also considered as identical in same directory. I tried using diff:

#both directories contain three files...file1, file2, file3
echo "Enter the directories:"
read d1
read d2
cd $d1

if diff file1.sh file2.sh > /dev/null
then echo same 1,2
else echo different
fi

if diff file1.sh file3.sh > /dev/null
then echo same 1,3
else echo different
fi

if diff file2.sh file3.sh > /dev/null
then echo same 3,2
else echo different
fi

cd ../
cd $d2
.....

I used the same code in the other directory for the three files. This is not running. I also want to know what to do when I need to compare files from different directories. i.e., JIIT, JUIT..
