The below code snippet is for searching files recursively and iterating them.
find . -type f -not -name '*.ini' -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' filename; do
echo "$filename"
done
It gives this resut:
1.jpg
2.jpg
3.jpg
But if I want to process the file somehow like this
find . -type f -not -name '*.ini' -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' filename; do
echo "$filename"
echo "$(${ExternalApp} -someparams $filename 2> /dev/null| cut -f 2- -d: | cut -f 2- -d ' ' )"
done
The loop terminates after the first iteration and result become like this:
1.jpg
I have recently updated bash (I'm on windows with MSYS). What is the problem here?
find's output is read by the command. This is an especially common problem when using ssh, ffmpeg or mplayer.
You can redirect from /dev/null if it doesn't need input at all:
find . -type f -not -name '*.ini' -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' filename; do
echo "$filename"
# v-- here
echo "$(${ExternalApp} -someparams $filename < /dev/null 2> /dev/null |
cut -f 2- -d: | cut -f 2- -d ' ' )"
done

I would like to add a progress bar to this command line:
find . \( -iname "*.bz" -o -iname "*.zip" -o -iname "*.gz" -o -iname "*.rar" \) -print0 | while read -d '' file; do echo "$file"; lzgrep -a stringtosearch\.anything "$file"; done
The progress file should be calculated on the total of compressed size files (not on the single file).
Of course, it can be a script too.
I would also like to add other progress bars, if possible:
The total number of files processed (example 3 out of 21)
The percentage of progress of the single file
Can anybody help me please?
Here some example of it should look alike (example from here):
tar cf - /folder-with-big-files -P | pv -s $(du -sb /folder-with-big-files | awk '{print $1}') | gzip > big-files.tar.gz
Multiple progress bars (example from here):
pv -cN orig < foo.tar.bz2 | bzcat | pv -cN bzcat | gzip -9 | pv -cN gzip > foo.tar.gz
Thanks,
This is the first time I've ever heard of pv and it's not on any machine I have access to but assuming it needs to know a total at startup and then a number on each iteration of a command, you could do something like this to get a progress bar per file processed:
IFS= readarray -d '' files < <(find . -whatever -print0)
printf '%s\n' "${files[#]}" | pv -s "${#files[#]}" | command
The first line gives you an array of files so you can then use "${#files[#]}" to provide pv it's initial total value (looks like you use -s value for that?) and then do whatever you normally do to get progress as each file is processed.
I don't see any way to tell pv that the pipe it's reading from is NUL-terminated rather than newline-terminated so if your files can have newlines in their names then you'd have to figure out how to solve that problem.
To additionally get progress on a single file you might need something like:
IFS= readarray -d '' files < <(find . -whatever -print0)
printf '%s\n' "${files[#]}" |
pv -s "${#files[#]}" |
xargs -n 1 -I {} sh -c 'pv {} | command'
I don't have pv so all of the above is untested so check the syntax, especially since I've never heard of pv :-).
Thanks to Max C., I found a solution for the main question:
find ./ -type f -iname *\.gz -o -iname *\.bz | (tot=0;while read fname; do s=$(stat -c%s "$fname"); if [ ! -z "$s" ] ; then echo "$fname"; tot=$(($tot+$s)); fi; done; echo $tot) | tac | (read size; xargs -i{} cat "{}" | pv -s $size | lzgrep -a something -)
But this work only for gz and bz files, now I have to develop to use different tool according to extension.
I'm gonna to try the Ed solution too.
Thanks to ED and Max C., here the verision 0.2
This version work with zgrep, but not with lzgrep. :-\
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "collecting dump... "
IFS= readarray -d '' files < <(find . \( -iname "*.bz" -o -iname "*.gz" \) -print0)
echo done
echo "Calculating archives size..."
tot=0
for line in "${files[#]}"; do
s=$(stat -c\%s "$line")
if [ ! -z "$s" ]
then
tot=$(($tot+$s))
fi
done
(for line in "${files[#]}"; do
s=$(stat -c\%s "$line")
if [ ! -z "$s" ]
then
echo "$line"
fi
done
) | xargs -i{} sh -c 'echo Processing file: "{}" 1>&2 ; cat "{}"' | pv -s $tot | zgrep -a anything -
I have for example 3 files (it could 1 or it could be 30) like this :
name_date1.tgz
name_date2.tgz
name_date3.tgz
When extracted it will look like :
name_date1/data/info/
name_date2/data/info/
name_date3/data/info/
Here how it looks inside each folder:
name_date1/data/info/
you.log
you.log.1.gz
you.log.2.gz
you.log.3.gz
name_date2/data/info/
you.log
name_date3/data/info/
you.log
you.log.1.gz
you.log.2.gz
What I want to do is concatenate all you file from each folder and concatenate one more time all the concatenated one to one single file.
1st step: extract all the folder
for a in *.tgz
do
a_dir=${a%.tgz}
mkdir $a_dir 2>/dev/null
tar -xvzf $a -C $a_dir >/dev/null
done
2nd step: executing an if statement on each folder available and cat everything
myarray=(`find */data/info/ -maxdepth 1 -name "you.log.*.gz"`)
ls -d */ | xargs -I {} bash -c "cd '{}' &&
if [ ${#myarray[#]} -gt 0 ];
then
find data/info -name "you.log.*.gz" -print0 | sort -z -rn -t. -k4 | xargs -0 zcat | cat -
data/info/you.log > youfull1.log
else
cat - data/info/you.log > youfull1.log
fi "
cat */youfull1.log > youfull.log
My issue when I put multiple name_date*.tgzit gives me this error:
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
With the error, I still have all my files concatenated, but why error message ?
But when I put only one .tgz file then I don't have any issue regardless the number you file.
any suggestion please ?
Try something simpler. No need for myarray. Pass files one at a time as they are inputted and decide what to do with them one at a time. Try:
find */data/info -type f -maxdepth 1 -name "you.log*" -print0 |
sort -z |
xargs -0 -n1 bash -c '
if [[ "${1##*.}" == "gz" ]]; then
zcat "$1";
else
cat "$1";
fi

If you have to iterate over directories, don't use ls, still use find.
find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -name 'name_date*' -print0 |
sort -z |
while IFS= read -r -d '' dir; do
cat "$dir"/data/info/you.log
find "$dir"/data/info -type f -maxdepth 1 -name 'you.log.*.gz' -print0 |
sort -z -t'.' -n -k3 |
xargs -r -0 zcat
done
or (if you have to) with xargs, which should give you the idea how it's used:
find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -name 'name_date*' -print0 |
sort -z |
xargs -0 -n1 bash -c '
cat "$1"/data/info/you.log
find "$1"/data/info -type f -maxdepth 1 -name "you.log.*.gz" -print0 |
sort -z -t"." -n -k3 |
xargs -r -0 zcat
' --
Use -t option with xargs to see what it's doing.

Closed 5 years ago.
Trying to create a mysql backup script.
However, I am finding that I am getting line feeds in the results:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home
for i in $(find $PWD -type f -name "wp-config.php" );
do echo "'$i'";
done
And the results show:
'/home/site1/public_html/folders/wp-config.php'
\'/home/site2/public_html/New'
'Website/wp-config.php'
'/home/site3/public_html/wp-config.php'
'/home/site4/public_html/old'
'website/wp-config.php'
'/home/site5/public_html/wp-config.php'
Do a ls from the command-line, we see for the folders in question:
New\ website
old\ website
and is treating the '\' as newline character.
OK.. Doing some research:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/5928254/175063
${foo/ /.}
Updating for what we may want:
${i/\ /}
The code now becomes:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home
for i in $(find $PWD -type f -name "wp-config.php" |${i/\ /});
do echo "'$i'";
done
Ref. https://tomjn.com/2014/03/01/wordpress-bash-magic/
Ultimately, I really want something like this:
!/bin/bash
# delete files older than 7 days
## find /home/dummmyacount/backups/ -type f -name '*.7z' -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;
# set a date variable
DT=$(date +"%m-%d-%Y")
cd /home
for i in $(find $PWD -type f -name "wp-config.php" );
WPDBNAME=`cat $i | grep DB_NAME | cut -d \' -f 4`
WPDBUSER=`cat $i | grep DB_USER | cut -d \' -f 4`
WPDBPASS=`cat $i | grep DB_PASSWORD | cut -d \' -f 4`
do echo "$i";
#do echo $File;
#mysqldump...
done
You can do this
find . -type f -name "wp-config.php" -print0 | while read -rd $'\x00' f
do
printf '[%s]\n' "$f"
done
which uses the NUL character as the delimiter to avoid special chars
I am having trouble looping and searching. It seems that the loop is not waiting for the find to finish. What am I doing wrong?
I made a loop the reads a file line by line. I then want to use that "name" to search a directory looking to see if a folder has that name. If it exists copy it to a drive.
#!/bin/bash
DIRFIND="$2"
DIRCOPY="$3"
if [ -d $DIRFIND ]; then
while IFS='' read -r line || [[ -n "$line" ]]; do
echo "$line"
FILE=`find "$DIRFIND" -type d -name "$line"`
if [ -n "$FILE" ]; then
echo "Found $FILE"
cp -a "$FILE" "$DIRCOPY"
else
echo "$line not found."
fi
done < "$1"
else
echo "No such file or directory"
fi
Have you tried xargs...
Proposed Solution
cat filenamelist | xargs -n1 -I {} find . -type d -name {} -print | xargs -n1 -I {} mv {} .
what the above does is pipe a list of filenames into find (one at a time), when found find prints the name and passes to xarg which moves the file...
Expansion
file = yogo
yogo -> | xargs -n1 -I yogo find . -type d -name yogo -print | xargs -n1 -I {} mv ./<path>/yogo .
I hope the above helps, note that xargs has the advantage that you do not run out of command line buffer.
I'm working on a bash script to help organize files and I want to use mv -i to make sure I don't write over something important.
The script is working right now except for the -i for the mv.
It shows (y/n [n]) not overwritten part, but then goes and and doesn't allow me to interact with it.

If you want mv -i to interact with the terminal, that means its stdin needs to be attached to that terminal. There are several places, here, where you're overriding stdin.
For instance:
# THIS LOOP OVERRIDES STDIN
while read -r line
...
done <list.txt
...redirects stdin for the entire duration of the loop, so instead of reading from the user, mv reads from list.txt. To change this, use a different file descriptor:
# This loop uses FD 3 for stdin
while read -r line <&3
...
done 3<list.txt
Another place is in calling xargs. Instead of:
# Overrides stdin for xargs and mv to contain output from find
find ... -print0 | xargs -0 -I '{}' mv -i '{}' "$dest"
...use:
# directly executes mv from find, stdin not modified
find ... -exec mv -i '{}' "$dest" ';'
That said, I would suggest ditching list.txt and list2.txt altogether; you simply don't need them; for that matter, you don't need find either.

moveEpub() {
local -A finished=( ) # WARNING: This requires bash 4.0 or newer.
for name in *.epub; do
prefix=${name%%-*} # remove everything past the first dash
[[ ${finished[$prefix]} ]] && continue # skip if already done with this prefix
finished[$prefix]=1 # set flag to skip other files w/ this prefix

mkdir -p "$dest/$prefix/EPUB" # create destination if not existing
mv -i "$source"/*"$prefix"* "$dest/$prefix/EPUB"
done
}
You can use built in find action -exec instead of piping to xargs :
find /Users/j/Desktop/Source/ -maxdepth 1 \
-iname "*$line*" -and ! -iname ".*$line*" -type f \
-exec mv -i {} /Users/j/Desktop/Dest/"$line"/EPUB/ \;
