Need to create a script to show what files in what folders
Hi everyone,
I'm stuck with this scenario where our system creates files every night and puts them in several folders according from whom it came from.
I have managed to create a script which will list the folders in one column and the files that are in them in another column, now my problem is when some of these folders have multiple files created for the day I have a double entry in the folders column. Below is an example of what I mean.
Folder1 File1-1
Folder2 File2-1
Folder3 File3-1
Folder3 File3-2
Folder4 File4-1
This is how I would like it to show;
Folder1 File1-1
Folder2 File2-1
Folder3 File3-1, File3-2
Folder4 File4-1
How can I achieve this. Please guide me resolve this problem.
This is an example of my script,
#!/bin/sh
find /home/user/ -name testfile* | sort -k 4 | cut -c20-24 > folders
find /home/user/ -name testfile* | sort -k 4 | cut -c30-36 > files
paste folders files > final
cat final
Thank you all for your help.

osacompile
OSACOMPILE(1) BSD General Commands Manual OSACOMPILE(1)
NAME
osacompile -- compile AppleScripts and other OSA language scripts
SYNOPSIS
osacompile [-l language] [-e command] [-o name] [-d] [-r type:id] [-t type] [-c creator] [-x] [-s] [-u] [-a arch] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
osacompile compiles the given files, or standard input if none are listed, into a single output script. Files may be plain text or other
compiled scripts. The options are as follows:
-l language
Override the language for any plain text files. Normally, plain text files are compiled as AppleScript.
-e command
Enter one line of a script. Script commands given via -e are prepended to the normal source, if any. Multiple -e options may be given
to build up a multi-line script. Because most scripts use characters that are special to many shell programs (e.g., AppleScript uses
single and double quote marks, ``('', ``)'', and ``*''), the command will have to be correctly quoted and escaped to get it past the
shell intact.
-o name
Place the output in the file name. If -o is not specified, the resulting script is placed in the file ``a.scpt''. The value of -o
partly determines the output file format; see below.
-x Save the resulting script as execute-only.
The following options are only relevant when creating a new bundled applet or droplet:
-s Stay-open applet.
-u Use startup screen.
-a arch
Create the applet or droplet for the specified target architecture arch. The allowable values are ``ppc'', ``i386'', and ``x86_64''.
The default is to create a universal binary.
The following options control the packaging of the output file. You should only need them for compatibility with classic Mac OS or for cus-
tom file formats.
-d Place the resulting script in the data fork of the output file. This is the default.
-r type:id
Place the resulting script in the resource fork of the output file, in the specified resource.
-t type
Set the output file type to type, where type is a four-character code. If this option is not specified, the creator code will not be
set.
-c creator
Set the output file creator to creator, where creator is a four-character code. If this option is not specified, the creator code will
not be set.
If no options are specified, osacompile produces a Mac OS X format script file: data fork only, with no type or creator code.
If the -o option is specified and the file does not already exist, osacompile uses the filename extension to determine what type of file to
create. If the filename ends with ``.app'', it creates a bundled applet or droplet. If the filename ends with ``.scptd'', it creates a bun-
dled compiled script. Otherwise, it creates a flat file with the script data placed according to the values of the -d and -r options.
EXAMPLES
To produce a script compatible with classic Mac OS:
osacompile -r scpt:128 -t osas -c ToyS example.applescript
