Readin document & creating path
Need a way to read a file in who every line is a path to a directory and make shortcut to that directory on a specific place. Example: line in the document Code:
/media/gogo/6651-FEAB/Desktop/ /media/gogo/6651-FEAB/Desktop/alex/ /media/gogo/6651-FEAB/linux/ /media/gogo/6651-FEAB/eks/HDD.Regenerator.2011-RES/INFOS/ and i need a way to crate a shortcut in a folder to every line ( path ) from the code above. to Code:
/media/gogo/6651-FEAB/Desktop need a shortcut in Code:
/home/Document/Shortcut/ and for name of the shortcut need the path it self ( /media/gogo/6651-FEAB/Desktop ), it should look like this -- > for Code:
/media/gogo/6651-FEAB/Desktop --> Code:
/home/Document/Shortcut/#media#gogo#6651-FEAB#Desktop ( i know "/" cant be used for a name of directory & file ). Same for the second line: for Code:
/media/gogo/6651-FEAB/Desktop/alex --> Code:
/home/Document/Shortcut/#media#gogo#6651-FEAB#Desktop#alex and soo on until the file end. Someone up for the task  ps: the name may not be the name of the path it self actually it could be a whatever, like for the first line 1, second 2 and soo on...

i try Quote:
ln: failed to create symbolic link `/home/gogo/Document/Shortcut/#media#gogo#6651-FEAB': No such file or directory I think the problem is that directory must be made before it can get linked but not sure :/ Last edited by gogok_bg; 02-01-2013 at 02:52 AM.. |
