Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Generic Shell Script to Archive a file Post 302217805 by BMDan on Wednesday 23rd of July 2008 03:04:53 PM

Not a big ksh person, but how about:

Code:
mv $1 `echo $1 | sed 's/\/[^/][^/]*//'`/Archive/`echo $1 | sed 's/.*\///'`.`date +"%Y-%m-%d"`

N.b. not intended to backup entire directories at a time, but if you do, drop the trailing slash (or just edit the script to do it for you; I wanted to keep it simple).

archive::any

Archive::Any(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 Archive::Any(3pm)

NAME

       Archive::Any - Single interface to deal with file archives.

SYNOPSIS

	 use Archive::Any;

	 my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file);

	 my @files = $archive->files;

	 $archive->extract;

	 my $type = $archive->type;

	 $archive->is_impolite;
	 $archive->is_naughty;

DESCRIPTION

       This module is a single interface for manipulating different archive formats.  Tarballs, zip files, etc.

       new
	     my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file);
	     my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file, $type);

	   $type is optional.  It lets you force the file type in-case Archive::Any can't figure it out.

       extract
	     $archive->extract;
	     $archive->extract($directory);

	   Extracts the files in the archive to the given $directory.  If no $directory is given, it will go into the current working directory.

       files
	     my @file = $archive->files;

	   A list of files in the archive.

       mime_type
	    my $mime_type = $archive->mime_type();

	   Returns the mime type of the archive.

       is_impolite
	     my $is_impolite = $archive->is_impolite;

	   Checks to see if this archive is going to unpack into the current directory rather than create its own.

       is_naughty
	     my $is_naughty = $archive->is_naughty;

	   Checks to see if this archive is going to unpack outside the current directory.

DEPRECATED

       type
	     my $type = $archive->type;

	   Returns the type of archive.  This method is provided for backwards compatibility in the Tar and Zip plugins and will be going away
	   soon in favor of "mime_type".

PLUGINS

       For detailed information on writing plugins to work with Archive::Any, please see the pod documentation for Archive::Any::Plugin.
