Getting current folder name appended to all desired files
Hello everyone,
Just registered here, I'm kinda new to Unix
I've been trying to automate some processes with various Windows tools. I found that using unix scripts the result would be closest to my needs. So I installed Cygwin on Windows 7.
My folders and files are structured like this:
folder1
-file1_temp.txt
-file2_temp.txt
folder2
-file1_temp.txt
-file2_temp.txt
The desired outcome should look like this:
folder1
-file1_folder1.txt
-file2_folder1.txt
folder2
-file1_folder2.txt
-file2_folder2.txt
Now, here's what's bothering me:
1. I have a loop script for renaming files which contain the "temp" string for the current opened folder:
Code:
for i1 in *temp.*
do
i2=`echo $i1 | sed 's/temp/<FOLDER_NAME>/g'`
mv $i1 $i2
done
I want to automate the process of renaming files and replacing "temp" string in each file with the current folder name, but I'm failing to find a command which would automatically find the current folder name and put it in sed 's/temp/<FOLDER_NAME>/g'`.
2. I would also like to automate the above loop so that it could be applied to all folders (folder1, folder2, etc).
How do I pack (using tar zcvf ?) the current folder inluding all files and folders ??
I need to be sure to get all files and folders/subfolders...
Later I will unpack into a new folder on a new server..
Appreciate any help.. (3 Replies)
Alright, I am sure this is a laughable question, but I don't know so I am going to ask anyway.
I have a little script I am writing to take information from one source, recode it in a certain way, and print to files for each subject I have data for. This all works perfectly. I just want to put... (6 Replies)

How do I find files in current folder only?
We are on AIX 5.3, so maxdepth is not supported.
I tried to do this
find /dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4 -prune -type f
to display all files in /dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4 only but it does not show any files.
Somehow the -prune option works for dir3 level... (7 Replies)
Hello guys,
I am sure this has been asked before, but honestly, I cant find post talking about it.
Here is what I need:

- This tar file is then used within a bash shell script

I have multiple txt files which begin with the word "orders" in folder C:\source. I need to move the files to folder C:\dest and rename them to "process_<date>_<count>"

refile
REFILE(1) [nmh-1.5] REFILE(1)NAME
refile - file message in other folders
SYNOPSIS
refile [msgs] [-draft] [-link | -nolink] [-preserve | -nopreserve] [-unlink | -nounlink] [-src +folder] [-file file] [-rmmproc program]
[-normmproc] +folder1 ... [-version] [-help]
DESCRIPTION
Refile moves (see mv(1)) or links (see ln(1)) messages from a source folder into one or more destination folders.
If you think of a message as a sheet of paper, this operation is not unlike filing the sheet of paper (or copies) in file cabinet folders.
When a message is filed, it is linked into the destination folder(s) if possible, and is copied otherwise. As long as the destination
folders are all on the same file system, multiple filing causes little storage overhead. This facility provides a good way to cross-file
or multiply-index messages. For example, if a message is received from Jones about the ARPA Map Project, the command
refile cur +jones +Map
would allow the message to be found in either of the two folders `jones' or `Map'.
You may specify the source folder using -src +folder. If this is not given, the current folder is used by default. If no message is spec-
ified, then `cur' is used by default.
The option -file file directs refile to use the specified file as the source message to be filed, rather than a message from a folder.
Note that the file should be a validly formatted message, just like any other nmh message. It should NOT be in mail drop format (to con-
vert a file in mail drop format to a folder of nmh messages, see inc(1)).
If a destination folder doesn't exist, refile will ask if you want to create it. A negative response will abort the file operation. If
the standard input for refile is not a tty, then refile will not ask any questions and will proceed as if the user answered "yes" to all
questions.
The option -link preserves the source folder copy of the message (i.e., it does a ln(1) rather than a mv(1)), whereas, -nolink (the
default) deletes the filed messages from the source folder.
Normally when a message is refiled, for each destination folder it is assigned the number which is one above the current highest message
number in that folder. Use of the -preserv switch will override this message renaming, and try to preserve the number of the message. If
a conflict for a particular folder occurs when using the -preserve switch, then refile will use the next available message number which is
above the message number you wish to preserve.
If -link is not specified (or -nolink is specified), the filed messages will be removed from the source folder. The default is to remove
these messages by renaming them with a site-dependent prefix (usually a comma). Such files will then need to be removed in some manner
after a certain amount of time. Many sites arrange for cron to remove these files once a day, so check with your system administrator.
Alternately, if you wish for refile to really remove the files representing these messages from the source folder, you can use the -unlink
switch (not to be confused with the -link switch). But messages removed by this method cannot be later recovered.
If you prefer a more sophisticated method of `removing' the messages from the source folder, you can define the rmmproc profile component.
For example, you can add a profile component such as
rmmproc: /home/coleman/bin/rmm_msgs
then refile will instead call the named program or script to handle the message files.
The user may specify -rmmproc program on the command line to override this profile specification. The -normmproc option forces the message
files to be deleted by renaming or unlinking them as described above.
The -draft switch tells refile to file the <mh-dir>/draft.
FILES
$HOME/.mh_profile The user profile
PROFILE COMPONENTS
Path: To determine the user's nmh directory
Current-Folder: To find the default current folder
Folder-Protect: To set mode when creating a new folder
rmmproc: Program to delete the message
SEE ALSO folder(1), rmf(1), rmm(1)DEFAULTS
`-src +folder' defaults to the current folder
`msgs' defaults to cur
`-nolink'
`-nounlink'
`-nopreserve'
CONTEXT
If -src +folder is given, it will become the current folder. If neither -link nor `all' is specified, the current message in the source
folder will be set to the last message specified; otherwise, the current message won't be changed.
If the "Previous-Sequence" profile entry is set, in addition to defining the named sequences from the source folder, refile will also
define those sequences for the destination folders. See mh-sequence (5) for information concerning the previous sequence.
BUGS
Since refile uses your rmmproc to delete the message, the rmmproc must NOT call refile without specifying -normmproc, or you will create an
infinite loop.
