I need to write a bash script that finds and lists symlinks from one directory (lets say some "Directory1") but only the ones pointing to files in certain another directory (lets say "Directory2"). I can`t use "find".
I have tried something like this but it's apparently wrong:
if [[ -d $1 ]]&&[[ -d $2 ]]
then
current_dir='pwd'
cd $1
do
for plik in *
if[[-L $file] && ["$(readlink -- "$file")" = "$2"] ]
then
#ls -la | grep ^l
echo "$(basename "$file")"
fi
done
fi
How about a simple ls with grep :
ls -l Directory1/ | grep "\->" | grep "Directory2"
I have found a solution:
for file1 in $_cat1/* do
if [ -L $file1]; then
dir1="$(dirname `readlink -f $file1`)"
dir2="$(dirname `readlink -f $_cat2`)"
if [dir1 == dir2]
echo $dir1
fi
fi
done

I am i need to find & remove empty files. The definition of empty files in my use case is a file which has zero lines.
I did try testing the file to see if it's empty However, this behaves strangely as in even though the file is empty it doesn't detect it so.
Hence, the best thing I could write up is the below script which i way too slow given it has to test several hundred thousand files
#!/bin/bash
LOOKUP_DIR="/path/to/source/directory"
cd ${LOOKUP_DIR} || { echo "cd failed"; exit 0; }
for fname in $(realpath */*)
do
if [[ $(wc -l "${fname}" | awk '{print $1}') -eq 0 ]]
then
echo "${fname}" is empty
rm -f "${fname}"
fi
done
Is there a better way to do what I'm after or alternatively, can the above logic be re-written in a way that brings better performance please?
Your script is slow beacuse wc reads every file to the end, which is not needed for your purpose. This might be what you're looking for:
#!/bin/bash
lookup_dir='/path/to/source/directory'
cd "$lookup_dir" || exit
for file in *; do
if [[ -f "$file" && -r "$file" && ! -L "$file" ]]; then
read < "$file" || echo rm -f -- "$file"
fi
done
Drop the echo after making sure it works as intended.
Another version, calling the rm only once, could be:
#!/bin/bash
lookup_dir='/path/to/source/directory'
cd "$lookup_dir" || exit
for file in *; do
if [[ -f "$file" && -r "$file" && ! -L "$file" ]]; then
read < "$file" || files_to_be_deleted+=("$file")
fi
done
rm -f -- "${files_to_be_deleted[#]}"
Explanation:
The core logic is in the line
read < "$file" || rm -f -- "$file"
The read < "$file" command attempts to read a line from the $file. If it succeeds, that is, a line is read, then the rm command on the right-hand side of the || won't be executed (that's how the || works). If it fails then the rm command will be executed. In any case, at most one line will be read. This has great advantage over the wc command because wc would read the whole file.
if ! read < "$file"; then rm -f -- "$file"; fi
could be used instead. The two lines are equivalent.
To check a "$fname" is a file and is empty or not, use [ -s "$fname" ]:
#!/usr/bin/env sh
LOOKUP_DIR="/path/to/source/directory"
for fname in "$LOOKUP_DIR"*/*; do
if ! [ -s "$fname" ]; then
echo "${fname}" is empty
# remove echo when output is what you want
echo rm -f "${fname}"
fi
done
See: help test:
File operators:
...
-s FILE True if file exists and is not empty.
Yet another method
wc -l ~/tmp/* 2>/dev/null | awk '$1 == 0 {print $2}' | xargs echo rm
This will break if any of your files have whitespace in the name.
To work around that, with awk still
wc -l ~/tmp/* 2>/dev/null \
| awk 'sub(/^[[:blank:]]+0[[:blank:]]+/, "")' \
| xargs echo rm
This works because the sub function returns the number of substitutions made, which can be treated as a boolean zero/not-zero condition.
Remove the echo to actually delete the files.
I'm trying to perform certain operation on each file in a directory but there is a problem with order it's going through. It should do one file at the time. The long line (unzipping, grepping, zipping) works fine on a single file without a script, so there is a problem with a loop. Any ideas?
Script should grep through through each zipped file and look for word1 or word2. If at least one of them exist then:
unzip file
grep word1 and word2 and save it to file_done
remove unzipped file
zip file_done to /donefiles/ with original name
remove file_done from original directory
#!/bin/bash
for file in *.gz; do
counter=$(zgrep -c 'word1\|word2' $file)
if [[ $counter -gt 0 ]]; then
echo $counter
for file in *.gz; do
filenoext=${file::-3}
filedone=${filenoext}_done
echo $file
echo $filenoext
echo $filedone
gunzip $file | grep 'word1\|word2' $filenoext > $filedone | rm -f $filenoext | gzip -f -c $filedone > /donefiles/$file | rm -f $filedone
done
else
echo "nothing to do here"
fi
done
The code snipped you've provided has a few problems, e.g. unneeded nested for cycle and erroneous pipeline
(the whole line gunzip $file | grep 'word1\|word2' $filenoext > $filedone | rm -f $filenoext | gzip...).
Note also your code will work correctly only if *.gz files don't have spaces (or special characters) in names.
Also zgrep -c 'word1\|word2' will also match strings like line_starts_withword1_orword2_.
Here is the working version of the script:
#!/bin/bash
for file in *.gz; do
counter=$(zgrep -c -E 'word1|word2' $file) # now counter is the number of word1/word2 occurences in $file
if [[ $counter -gt 0 ]]; then
name=$(basename $file .gz)
zcat $file | grep -E 'word1|word2' > ${name}_done
gzip -f -c ${name}_done > /donefiles/$file
rm -f ${name}_done
else
echo 'nothing to do here'
fi
done
What we can improve here is:
since we unzipping the file anyway to check for word1|word2 presence, we may do this to temp file and avoid double-unzipping
we don't need to count how many word1 or word2 is inside the file, we may just check for their presence
${name}_done can be a temp file cleaned up automatically
we can use while cycle to handle file names with spaces
#!/bin/bash
tmp=`mktemp /tmp/gzip_demo.XXXXXX` # create temp file for us
trap "rm -f \"$tmp\"" EXIT INT TERM QUIT HUP # clean $tmp upon exit or termination
find . -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type f -name '*.gz' | while read f; do
# quotes around $f are now required in case of spaces in it
s=$(basename "$f") # short name w/o dir
gunzip -f -c "$f" | grep -P '\b(word1|word2)\b' > "$tmp"
[ -s "$tmp" ] && gzip -f -c "$tmp" > "/donefiles/$s" # create archive if anything is found
done
It looks like you have an inner loop inside the outer one :
#!/bin/bash
for file in *.gz; do
counter=$(zgrep -c 'word1\|word2' $file)
if [[ $counter -gt 0 ]]; then
echo $counter
for file in *.gz; do #<<< HERE
filenoext=${file::-3}
filedone=${filenoext}_done
echo $file
echo $filenoext
echo $filedone
gunzip $file | grep 'word1\|word2' $filenoext > $filedone | rm -f $filenoext | gzip -f -c $filedone > /donefiles/$file | rm -f $filedone
done
else
echo "nothing to do here"
fi
done
The inner loop goes through all the files in the directory if one of them contains file1 or file2. You probably want this :
#!/bin/bash
for file in *.gz; do
counter=$(zgrep -c 'word1\|word2' $file)
if [[ $counter -gt 0 ]]; then
echo $counter
filenoext=${file::-3}
filedone=${filenoext}_done
echo $file
echo $filenoext
echo $filedone
gunzip $file | grep 'word1\|word2' $filenoext > $filedone | rm -f $filenoext | gzip -f -c $filedone > /donefiles/$file | rm -f $filedone
else
echo "nothing to do here"
fi
done
I have to extract all archives in my current folder. What I'm doing only extracts all that are named correctly but the archives can have any messed up extension on them.
file.tar.gvz
or file.tar.potatogz
or file.sss.faz
gunzip *.tar.gz >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
echo $?
echo "gzip"
tar -xvf *.tar >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
echo $?
echo "tar"
unzip '*.zip' >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
echo $?
echo "zip"
Edit:
The file command seems like the right way to go but I can't get it to work in a nested loop. when outside the directory loop it works fine.
for D in *; do
if [ -d "${D}" ]; then
cd $D
bool=false
for files in *
do
type=$( file -b $files | awk '{printf $1;}' )
echo "next is type"
echo $type
done
cd..
done
The File command solved this.
My problems with file were solved with quotation marks.
type=$( file -b "$j" | awk '{printf $1;}' )
When gunzip reads from stdin, it doesn't know that the filename was wrong:
cat archive_with_wrong_name | gunzip -c
Or even easier...
gunzip -c <archive_with_wrong_name
Or even easier...
gzcat archive_with_wrong_name
Looks like you are real close. How about something like this?
for D in *; do
if [ -d "${D}" ]; then
cd $D
for file in *; do
type="$( file -b "$file" | awk '{print $1}' )"
case "$type" in
'gzip' ) gunzip $file; continue ;;
'zip' ) unzip $file; continue ;;
'tar' ) tar xzf $file; continue ;;
'*' ) continue ;;

I have searched many forums and websites to create an ALAC collection from my FLAC collection with the same directory structure with no success. Therefore I coded my own shell script and decided to share here so others can use or improve on it.
Problems I wanted to solve:
Full automation of conversion. I did not want to go and run scripts
in each and every directory.
Recursive file search
Moving all the structure from one location to another by converting flac to alac and copying the artwork. nothing else.
I did not want flac and alac files in the same directory.(which the below
script I believe can do that)
Here is how the script turned out. It works for me, I hope it does for you as well. I am using Linux Mint and bash shell.
2014-12-08 - Made some changes and now it is working fine. Before it was creating multiple copies.
Usage is: ./FLACtoALAC.sh /sourcedirectory /targetdirectory
Here are some explanations:
Source: /a/b/c/d/e/ <- e has flac
/g/f/k <- k has artwork
/l <- l has mp3
Target: /z/u/v/g/f
when the command is run : ./FLACtoALAC.sh /a/b/ /z/u/
I want the structure look like:
/z/u/v/g/f <- f was already there
/c/d/e/ <- e had flac, so created with the tree following source (/a/b)
/c/g/f/k <- k had artwork, so created with the tree following source (/a/b)
not created l <- l did not have any of the png,jpg or flac files.
I do not want to create any directory that does not contain png, jpg or flac,
unless it is a parent to one of such those directories.
Now the updated code:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $1 ]]
then
if [[ ${1:0:1} = / || ${1:0:1} = ~ ]]
then Source_Dir=$1
elif [[ ${1:0:1} = . ]]

Try this out:
#!/bin/bash
src_dir="in"
dst_dir="out"
find ${src_dir} -type f -print0|while IFS= read -r -d '' src_file; do
dst_file=${src_file/$src_dir/$dst_dir}
echo "src_file=${src_file} dst_file=${dst_file}"
mkdir -pv `dirname $dst_file`
# use above variables and run convert command with it here
done
To test how it works:
mkdir in out
cd in
mkdir 1 2 3
find . -type d -exec touch {}/foo {}/bar {}/baz \;
cd ..
./run_my_script.sh
Now you only need to attach your convert function/script/command/whatever and improve it to read src_dir and dst_dir from the command line (I would recommend man bash - > getopts)
I have no idea I have spent a lot of hours dealing with this problem. I need to write script. Script should loop recursively through subdirectories in current directory. It should check files count in each directory. If file count is greater than 10 it should write all names of these file in file named "BigList" otherwise it should write in file "ShortList". This should look like
---<directory name>
<filename>
<filename>
<filename>
<filename>
....
---<directory name>
<filename>
<filename>
<filename>
<filename>
....
My script only works if subdirecotries don't include subdirectories in turn.
I am confused about this. Because it doesn't work as I expect. It will take less than 5 minutes to write this on any programming language for my.
Please help to solve this problem , because I have no idea how to do this.
Here is my script
#!/bin/bash
parent_dir=""
if [ -d "$1" ]; then
path=$1;
else
path=$(pwd)
fi
parent_dir=$path
loop_folder_recurse() {
local files_list=""
local cnt=0
for i in "$1"/*;do
if [ -d "$i" ];then
echo "dir: $i"
parent_dir=$i
echo before recursion
loop_folder_recurse "$i"
echo after recursion
if [ $cnt -ge 10 ]; then
echo -e "---"$parent_dir >> BigList
echo -e $file_list >> BigList
else
echo -e "---"$parent_dir >> ShortList
echo -e $file_list >> ShortList
fi
elif [ -f "$i" ]; then
echo file $i
if [ $cur_fol != $main_pwd ]; then
file_list+=$i'\n'
cnt=$((cnt + 1))
fi
fi
done
}
echo "Base path: $path"
loop_folder_recurse $path
I believe that this does what you want:
find . -type d -exec env d={} bash -c 'out=Shortlist; [ $(ls "$d" | wc -l) -ge 10 ] && out=Biglist; { echo "--$d"; ls "$d"; echo; } >>"$out"' ';'
If we don't want either to count subdirectories to the cut-off or to list them in the output, then use this version:
find . -type d -exec env d={} bash -c 'out=Shortlist; [ $(ls -p "$d" | grep -v "/$" | wc -l) -ge 10 ] && out=Biglist; { echo "--$d"; ls -p "$d"; echo; } | grep -v "/$" >>"$out"' ';'
