I'm having a bit of trouble with AppleScript...
Long story short - what I'm trying to do is to do a function for every folder of parrentFolder containing someFile.
Basicaly, I have a complex folder structure with multiple folders ending up with a couple of files, within which (sometimes) there's a 'Preview.png' file. Now what I'm trying to do is to run a function that will go over each and every folder and whenever it finds 'Preview.png' within a folder it should store folder's path after which I can run a function to change the icon of that folder to a 'Preview.png' image. And it should loop over all of the folders in the main folder.
Anyone able to give me a hand?
Thanks,
Marko

I have a folder that has around 400 subfolders each with ONE .jpeg file in them. I need to get all the pictures into 1 new folder using SSIS, everything is on my local (no connecting through different servers or DBs) just subfolders to one folder so that I can pull out those images without going one by one into each subfolder.
I would create 3 variables, all of type String. CurrentFile, FolderBase, FolderOutput.
FolderBase is going to be where we start searching i.e. C:\ssisdata
FolderOutput is where we are going to move any .jpg files that we find rooted under FolderBase.
Use a Foreach File Enumerator (sample How to import text files with the same name and schema but different directories into database?) configured to process subfolders looking for *.jpg. Map the first element on the Variable tab to be our CurrentFile. Map the Enumerator to start in FolderBase. For extra flexibility, create an additional variable to hold the file mask *.jpg.
Run the package. It should quickly zip through all the folders finding and doing nothing.
Drag and drop a file system task into the Foreach Enumerator. Make it a Move file (or maybe it's rename) type. Use a Variable source and destination. The Source will be CurrentFile and the destination will be FolderOutput
Im not scripting alot so i think this is total beginner stuff so
i have following problem, i want to move (like cut-out and paste) a folder ,that always starts with the same string but never have the same ending, to another folder.
Im working on a Windows Server that runs a Batch. The Batch is copying different Backup-Files to a Directory with a timestamp. This works fine because all the other Files and diretorys that i need to move have static names.
But im running into a problem with a folder/directory that has a dynamic name. The Folder starts always with the GUID {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx} of the Application, so the start fo the directory name is static. But at the end, the Application is adding a underline _ followed by random charaters so the directory looks like following f.E. :
{11111111-1111-1111-1111-11111111111}_ehgwuh238th
This is how my other files with the static names are handled so far:
if exist %path%\%fullstamp% move %path%\Test %path%\%fullstamp%
path contains the path to the directory that includes the files that need to be moved.
fullstamp contains a timestamp which were used to create a new directory at the beginning of the batch.
I tried something like:
move %path%\Test* %path%\%fullstamp%
move %path%\Test*. %path%\%fullstamp%
move %path%\Test*\ %path%\%fullstamp%
But none of these worked out
So like i said probably not a big deal but i still need to ask.
To summarize it:
the directory that always starts/contains with the same string need to be moved to another directoy.
Some directoy names f.E.
Test_31tß0t30
Test_3tggwqgrgwrg
Test_ksmrh82ra
Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad english.
The move command seems to not accept wildcards for source directories, so you will need a for /D loop to resolve the path first:
for /D %%I in ("%ROOT%\Test*") do move "%%~I" "%ROOT%\%fullstamp%"
I also quoted both source and destination paths in order to avoid trouble with whitespaces or other special characters.
The fact that you use a variable %path% makes me think you set it to the root path of your operation, but PATH is a reserved variable used by the system to find executables, so you should not (over-)write it. That is why I used another variable name ROOT in my code suggestion.
Every week at work, I am responsible for manually moving 100-200 files from one folder into a corresponding subfolder. After doing this for a couple of weeks, I thought to myself: This can be done faster!
I have used Python 2.7 and 3.X a bit at school, but mostly with (very) basic search engines and text search.
I found another thread, where a guy was told to use either os.rename or shutil.move. I made a simple test with os.rename:
os.rename("path/to/current/file.foo", "path/to/new/desination/for/file.foo")
And it works, so far so good.
Is there any way to make python run through every file from a folder and move it into a corresponding subdirectory in another folder? The original directory contains all the files, while the target directory contains all the folders.
Every file (A_file, B_file, etc.) has the same name as the folder(A_folder, B_folder, etc), which means they are in the correct order.
This makes me think a simple iteration could work, as in(More of an algorithm than code):
for file in original_dir
move file to folder_x in tar_dir
x += 1
Obviously this is not complete, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
This makes directories recursively.
os.makedirs(path)
So you pass the path to the directory you want. eg /path/to/
Which you would follow up with the copy.
def move_file(new_path_to_file, file_to_move):
file_name = file_to_move.split(os.path.sep)[-1]
os.makedirs(new_path_to_file)
os.rename(file_to_move, os.path.join(new_path_to_file, file_name))
You could also make it easier by passing in the filename as well.
I want to iterate through every jpg/jpeg file in a directory and every subdirectory and every subdirectory of that sub-directory and so on. I want to be able to go through every single image file in a folder. Is there an easy way to do this or would a recursive method work best?
Dir.glob("your_directory/**/*.{jpg,jpeg}")
I'm trying to run a batch file that exists in one folder, from a batch file in another folder:
Parent folder Big containes 2 folders BatchFolder and Medium.
BatchFolder contains a batch file called Batch1.
Medium contains another folder called Small.
Small contains a batch file called Batch2 that needs to run Batch1.
The command prompt is run from the location of Batch2
Therefor, how do I navigate up the folders To Big, and then navigate into the BatchFolder?
I've been trying alsorts to achieve this with no success, such as Bacth2 containing the following "call ../BatchFolder/Batch1.bat"
I'm not sure whether you really need to navigate to the required folder (i.e. set it as the current one) or you simply need a way to call the batch script in that folder using a relative path notation. Navigating, from how I understand the term, means the former, but your last sentence seem to show that you need the latter.
First, the answer:
call %~dp0%..\..\BatchFolder\Batch1.bat
Next, what it means. %~dp0% is a variation of %0: the latter is the full path to this batch file (i.e. Batch2.bat) including the file name, and the former is the full path to this batch's folder (including the trailing \).
.. points to the immediate parent folder. It is repeated twice because we need to access the 'grand-parent' of the Batch2.bat's folder, and the grand-parent is Big. Once we are pointing to Big, we can address the files/folders in it, in this case it's BatchFolder that we need, and eventually we can put the name of Batch1.bat.
This works regardless of what the current folder is. That is, in case I wasn't clear on that head, by simply calling a batch file you are not yet changing the current folder. You would have to use the CD command for that. That would be navigating (but I'm still open to being corrected as to my understanding of this term).
