I am trying to write a housekeeping bash script. Part of it involves searching all of my attached storage media for photographs and moving them into a single directory. The problem occurs when files have duplicate names, obviously a file called 001.jpg will get overwritten with another file called 001.jpg. What I am trying to do is to get the script to rename a file with a duplicate filename on the fly, so that the name of the file with the duplicate name will be (for instance) 001[1].jpg the next file with the same file name will be 001[2].jpg etc etc.
So, if I have a line that reads:
How can I get the script to modify the filename on the fly if a file with the same name already exists in my target directory?
Hi, I have a accentuated letter (ö) in a script for an Installer. It's a file name. This is not working and I'm told to try using the octal value for the extended ascii character.

So basically what i want to do is fine duplicate names on column 5 and rename it with an extention (i.e. tim9_1 and tim9_2).
so the output file will look like this
2 4 10 500 tim9_1... (1 Reply)

Hi, here comes another newbie question:
How to find the number of non-duplicate names recursively?
For example, my files are stored in the folders like:
If I do
find . -depth -name "*.txt" | wc -l
This will gives out a result "4". One .txt file named "1.txt" in folder "1",

Good day, everyone!
I'm very new to bash scripting. Our teacher gave us a task to create a script that basically does the same job the 'du' command does, with the difference that 'du' command gives an output in the form of

ALE(1)ALE(1)NAME
ale - a synthetic capture engine and renderer
SYNOPSIS
ale [OPTIONS] original-frame [supplemental-frames ...] output-file
ale [HELP OPTIONS]
ale --version
DESCRIPTION
ALE is a free software synthetic capture engine and renderer accepting, as input, a sequence of image frames, and producing, as output,
rendered images, registration data, and 3D models (currently experimental).
EXAMPLES
ale --hu
Print the help page on program usage.
ale 001.ppm 002.ppm 003.ppm out.ppm
Render output file out.ppm from inputs 001.ppm, 002.ppm, and 003.ppm.
ale --scale 2 001.ppm 002.ppm 003.ppm out.png
Render output file out.png at 2x scale.
ale --perturb-upper=0 --trans-load=a.t --projective frame*.png out.png
Render output file out.png from inputs frame*.png, using projective transformations as described in the file a.t.
ale --3dv 0 out.png --projective frame*.png null:
Render output file out.png from inputs frame*.png, using a 3D scene model to determine transformations.
ale --visp last:sinc*lanc:6 sf:0 out/ .jpg in/*.jpg null:
Render a video stream from files in/*.jpg to the directory out/, stabilizing to the first frame, with a lanczos-windowed sinc filter.
USAGE
ale is a wrapper script that calls the executable ale-bin after extracting exposure EXIF information from image files (when the exiftool
utility is available) and converting from raw formats (when the dcraw utility is available).
When ale-bin has been linked with ImageMagick, input and output files may be of any kind supported by ImageMagick. Otherwise, only PPM
files can be read and written by ale-bin.
OPTIONS
OPTIONS are summarized via built-in help pages (see HELP OPTIONS below). More detailed manuals describing options and internal algorithms
are available for certain versions of ALE. See SEE ALSO below for more details on other manuals.
HELP OPTIONS
A listing of available help options can be obtained by invoking ale --hu.
ENVIRONMENT
The wrapper script ale recognizes the following environment variables:
ALE_BIN
ALE executable to use.
DCRAW
dcraw raw extraction tool to use.
EXIF_UTILITY
EXIF extraction utility to use.
ALE_COUNT_THREADS
Displays statistics on thread counts when set to a non-zero value.
PAGER
Text pager to use (e.g., for displaying help pages).
SEE ALSO
More detailed manuals for certain versions of ALE are distributed with source packages, and may also be available from:
