i'd like to know the total filesize of all files found with the find command, so
Code:
find -iname '*.mpg' | xargs -I {} du -sh {}
but this gives me the filesize of each file, since each line is passed to "du".
how can I pass the whole list through the pipe?
I'm running a find. -name pattern to find some files, and I'd like to elegantly get the total number of lines in these files. How can I achieve that?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do a find/grep/wc command to find matching files, print the filename and then the word count of a specific pattern per file. Here is my best (non-working) attempt so far:
wc `find . ( -name "*.as" -o -name "*.mxml" ) -exec grep -H HeightResizableList {}` ;
Is there a way to specify to find that I only want text files (and not binary files)? Grep has an option to exclude binary files, so I thought find probably has a similar feature, but I've been unable to find it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe find command does not seem to find all files in my directory hierarchy. My home directory is automounted from a server. The command to illustrate this is:find | sed -e 's/^.///' | sed -e 's//.*//' | sort -uThe result misses several directories. Likewise, a find of a particular file, like:find . -iname *sample* -printwhere sample_file.txt resides in one of the directories that is missing in the first find command, finds nothing

View 12 Replies View RelatedI was using the following command to search for tmp files older than 15 days for deletionI used "ls -l" first just in case
Code:
find somedirectory/ -type f -ctime +15 -exec ls -l {} ;
then i noticed that occasionally i get a "No such file or directory" error
When I looked at the directory, the file was not there.How does "find" find a file that doesn't exist?Is it possible that the file can be deleted right at the moment after a file is found and before the command executed?
I found this command that works great finding and replacing a simple string to another in files located in that folder and all sub-folders.
Code: find . -name '*.php' | xargs perl -pi -e 's/OldText/NewText/g'
The problem I have is that I need to replace a more complex string, like this: Old string: /mnt/stor6-wc2-dfw1/627896/982574/ New string: /mnt/stor8-wc2-dfw1/369587/302589/ There I don't know how to do it... since the / is what separates the old from the new strings, and the strings that I want to replace have / in it. Also, I would like to know how to specify under what folder replace the files, for example, I want that it search/replaces all files under /var/www/mysite/htdocs folder.
I've got a simple command that does almost what I want.
The following will locate all files with a suffix of '_compressed.swf' and copy each into its same directory with a '.bak2' appended:
However, I need to replace '_compressed.swf' with '_content.swf' I'd like to use find, rather than recursive flag on cp for consistency.
Objective
In: /content/somefile_compressed.swf
Out: /content/somefile_content.swf
I use find / -name myfile to search files. But it will print out a very long list such as follow:
Code:
...
find: /var/empty/sshd: Permission denied
find: /etc/audit: Permission denied
find: /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crl: Permission denied
find: /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt: Permission denied

I'm pretty sure this is doable from the command line, but my CLI skills have degraded a lot since my pre-Y2K admin days. The goal is to search all the files in the directory for a very long string of text and replace it with another string of text. The text being searched for is my Google Adsense code (which will be stripped from my website) and it will be replaced with a placeholder so I can easily tack something else in there in the future.
Seeing how I have that long snip of code on about 100 pages, automating the process would make life easier.
If I was searching for a single word, I can see ways to do this.
If I paste the code I'm searching for into a text file, is there a way to:
find (contents of oldstring.txt) and replace with (contents of newstring.txt)?
