Blanks In File Name

Dears,
I want to create script to rename multiple file names from unix date to date for example
filename_1421907815_department.txt
rename to
filename_2015_01_22_08_23_department.txt

hello,

I am trying to rename the file by adding .txt extension and also
before renaming, I want to replace . in file with _

right now file looks like this mdm.201504021628

after execution of my script file name should be mdm_201504021628.txt


#!bin/bash
//reading all files from directory

files=$(hadoop fs

-ls /dl/data/landing/hivedb/lnd_attunity_kpi_db_backup/auth_master |
awk '!/^d/ {print $8}')

for f in $files; do

//using sed to replace . with _ and then feeding to hadoop fs command

sed 's/./\_/g' $f | hadoop fs -mv $f $f.txt

done

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello Folks.

I'm searching for a easy way to rename multiple files from CLI but didn't find any easy way for me so I'm reaching out to you guys for help.

This is what I want to do (from CLII or script). I want to move files with a sequence number on the name of the files (msg0000, msg0001, msg0002 and so on) to let's say msg0066, msg0067 and so on. Each of this file name has two other files (msg0000.wav, msg0000.WAV and msg0000.txt).

The idea is to move them from one directory to another and following a sequence in the file names, is there a way I can do this pain free?

Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciates and I'm talking about over 100 files I need to move following the sequence of the receiving directory.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

I need some help on my bash script, I'm trying to rename a certain line in a file which might be 1 or more.

IDXCOUNT=`grep -c 'index .* on ' $FILENAME`;

for n in $(eval echo {1..$IDXCOUNT});
do
timestamp=$(date +"%s");
echo "Renaming index idx_$timestamp..";
if [ $n -eq 1 ]; then
sed -i "0,/^index [^)]* on /s/index idx_$timestamp on /" $FILENAME;

My problem is, if the sed target is 2 or more it will generate an idx_$timestamp that will cause duplicate index value when the script finish. My goal is to have the script recognize that when there are multiple index in the file, it will try to rename it one by one.

I'm new to bash so I'm not sure if I explained my issue well but I will appreciate any help!!

Thanks!

Hi All,

I'm not a perl programmer, so please help me to disable warning messages. I tried like commenting 'use strict' and 'use warning' in perl program. But it is not working.

All I want is to disable warning messages.

Please note its not actual ping program, But a perl wrapper for ping to display ping output in color (Cope).

Below is output:

Code:

$ ./ping google.com

Works fine when error redirected to /dev/null

Unfortunately, I cannot use output error redirection because all the perl programs are in PATH.

Code:

use Regexp::Common qw[net];

       }x => ( \&ping_time ) x 4;

}

run( \&process, real_path, @ARGV );

If there is one Windows XP feature that I greatly miss in Mint, it is the Search Companion.

I have been struggling with 'grep' in order to create something suitable but with limited success. Take the following problem:-

I wish to interrogate the folder home/dell/Documents/Domestic/Recipes, searching for all files containing the word "mushroom" or "mushrooms", ignoring case. (I can manage the latter. )

Each individual file search should terminate at the first instance of a match and move to the next file. (Recursive, yeh?) Only the file names need to be listed and the output should be paged to allow for easier reading of long lists.

Several different types of file may be involved, including .doc, .odt, .txt .pdf, .htm and .rtf. It would be nice to include all of them in one command. (Wild card behaviour in grep is not entirely predictable - at least not for me.) Running a separate grep command for each different file type would be tedious.

A significant difficulty is that, if grep fails with a syntax, or run-time error, it generally reports the fact but it also has a habit of producing no output, perhaps not returning to the command prompt, whilst sitting inviting the user to decide what to do next. What makes this particularly frustrating is that some file types might not be amenable to a grep search. Text in .txt files and, it would appear, .doc files appears to be searchable but I suspect that .odt files might be more problematic. The snag in such circumstances is trying to interpret grep's response. Does a null return mean that no match was found or that the file format cannot be successfully interrogated? Such failure might not be apparent if the associated file names are simply excluded from the output list.

Apart from grep, is there any other software that would do the job? Sadly LibreOffice Writer seems to be lacking in this area.

I am trying to write a simple test script that executes a single rsync call. Once I get the syntax right, the script will be expanded to incorporate several rsync instructions to save me time.

I'm using a Cygwin Terminal on Windows 7 to run Rsync.

The script is called "backup" and I call it from the cygwin terminal using "./backup". Have used chmod to make it executable.

When I execute the rsync instruction as a standalone instruction at terminal prompt, the file copies to the target folder perfectly.

However, when I try and drop the same instruction into a script, it copies the file over from it's original file name "mvi_1840.mov" to a file with the name "." -- literally a single period. I can rename the file to a .mov file and it works fine but naturally, I don't want to have to do this.

The one other thing I will mention is that the file is located in the /home/"username" directory in cygwin vs /bin. But I would not think that this would make a difference.

I have pasted the contents of the script file below:
Code:

#!/bin/bash
    rsync.exe -rltDvP --exclude "System Volume Information" --exclude
 "RECYCLER" --exclude=\$RECYCLE.BIN --delete "/cygdrive/c/users/<USERNAME>
/desktop/mvi_1840.mov" "/cygdrive/c/users/<USERNAME>/desktop/test/"

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

I am new to Bash scripting.

I have a main directory called Photos which has many subdirectories like People, Places and Things. Each of these subdirectories is populated by other subdirectories and lots of JPG photo images.

The digital cameras name the files in a way that is difficult to manage with web hosting.

I would like to go to each directory and subdirectory and rename the photos 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc. so that I can use a simple XML template to access them by specifying only a hosting directory.

I tried to use the following script:

#! /bin/bash

cd /home/paul/test

find . -name "*.jpg" -print0 | rename -v 's/.+/our $i; sprintf("%d.jpg", 1+$i++)/e' * -vn

exit 0

It successfully renames all of the files in all of the directories, but it does not restart the numbering for each new subdirectory. So first it goes through Photos and renames the three JPG files there 1.jpg, 2.jpg and 3. jpg, and then it opens the first subdirectory People and names the three JPG files there 4.jpg, 5.jpg and 6.jpg. Next it moves to the next subdirectory and continues sequential renaming until it is done.

I want it to restart sequential renaming with each new subdirectory, so that after renaming the three JPG files in Photos to 1.jpg, 2.jpg and 3.jpg, it moves to the first subdirectory and renames the JPG files there starting with 1.jpg again.

That way I use the links 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc in the XML template and just change the directory name to download the photos from the web.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi all,

I am trying to use sed to rename multiple files under multiple directory.

so lets say for exmaple:
Under /root I have 2 directory as follows:

# ll {test1,test2}
test1:
total 0
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Apr 10 19:16 authkey.apollo

test2:
total 0
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Apr 10 19:16 authkeys.apollo

if I want to change apollo to jupiter then used this:
for i in `ls {test1,test2} | grep -i 'apollo'`; do echo $i; sed -i 's/apollo/jupiter/g'; done

but it seems like it got missed on the file path in sed. is there any other easier way or better approach to make this work?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all ,
I have a requirement where I have a file. Contents of the file are :
#comments
VAR="abg"
RES=123
#comments
IC6790ABG="https://www.abc.com"
IC5678-vg="https://www.bhy.com"
IC-gy_567:78="https://www.gyt.com"
#comments
The variable names can not have characters like - , : so
in this file I have to find words starting with IC and replace characters like - ,:
I want to change only the variable name , not the whole line.
I have used SED command

sed -i '/^IC/s/[^0-9 a-z A-Z _]*//g' file

when I am using this command , it is replacing the whole line
output becomes :

#comments
VAR="abg"
RES=123
#comments
IC6790ABGhttpswwwabccom
IC5678vghttpswwwbhycom
ICgy56778httpswwwgytcom
#comments


But I want the output like this :

#comments
VAR="abg"
RES=123
#comments
IC6790ABG="https://www.abc.com"
IC5678vg="https://www.bhy.com"
ICgy_56778="https://www.gyt.com"
#comments

How can I get the desired output , thanks for your help in advance .
