Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Recursive copy to a RANDOM name Post 302248438 by xerexes on Friday 17th of October 2008 04:19:59 PM

Hello Perderabo,

the total file count with the command is 88127.

The typical folder/file structure is:

with spaces
./cdell/Documents and Settings/Roki/My Documents/Exported Pics/images/Fl_0112.jpg

or with square brackets
./epd/Pics/Chris/Temp Folder/665109_7_t[1].jpg

To be honest, the numbers don't need to be random at all. The only reason I suggested random number is that that way I would be sure not to have a duplicate filename if concatenated with an actual filename.

The goal would be to have all the 88127 files inside one folder so that I can easily remove duplicates based on md5 hash.

I hope I've explained myself clearly.

Many thanks again.

Roki.

NAME
Plack::Middleware::Recursive - Allows PSGI apps to include or forward requests recursively SYNOPSIS
# with Builder enable "Recursive"; # in apps my $res = $env->{'plack.recursive.include'}->("/new_path"); # Or, use exceptions my $app = sub { # ... Plack::Recursive::ForwardRequest->throw("/new_path"); }; DESCRIPTION
Plack::Middleware::Recursive allows PSGI applications to recursively include or forward requests to other paths. Applications can make use of callbacks stored in "$env->{'plack.recursive.include'}" to include another path to get the response (whether it's an array ref or a code ref depending on your application), or throw an exception Plack::Recursive::ForwardRequest anywhere in the code to forward the current request (i.e. abort the current and redo the request). EXCEPTIONS
This middleware passes through unknown exceptions to the outside middleware stack, so if you use this middleware with other exception handlers such as Plack::Middleware::StackTrace or Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, be sure to wrap this so Plack::Middleware::Recursive gets as inner as possible.
