Combining files with specific patterns of naming in a directory
Greetings Unix exports,
I am facing some problems in combining files with different name patterns with a directory and I would appreciate if you can help me
I have more than 1000 files but they follow a specific pattern of naming. e.g. 64Xtest01.txt
They are divided into two sets of test and train
The Train set pattern is the following: e.g. 64XtrainY1.txt-James-Maggie.txt
Quote:
1) 2 fixed digits: 64
2) A Capital letter which may vary
3) “train”
4) Another Capital letter
5) One digit number
6) “.txt-”
7) Another pattern of “bla-bla” ---25 to 50 different names
8) .txt --- the format
The test set pattern is the following: e.g. 64xtest14.txt-James-Maggie.txt
Quote:
1) 2 fixed digits 64
2) A capital letter which may vary
3) “test”
4) Two digit number, may vary
5) “.txt-”
6) Another pattern of “bla-bla” ---25 to 50 different names
7) .txt --- the format
And each of these files have only one line in them
Now I want to combine the files that have the unique patterns before the “.txt” and combine the rest of the files in them. e.g.
I am wondering what is the best way to deal with it
I have tired to combine all of them into a single file and then divide them best of a line with GREP but that is not an afficient way to do it I am sure.
And then divide them based on names per line again but it’s a nightmare if u have loads of file.
So would really appreciate any help
