I am in a situation where I have some hundreds of thousands of files in a directory (name of directory: big_directory). Now, working on this directory is extremely slow.
I now plan to do this:
Copy 1000 files in each of the directories by creating the directories automatically. All files have .dat extension in the directory and have names like 1.dat, 2.dat, 3.dat until the last file number
This is what I intend to do:
1. Automatically create a directory "dir1" and copy first 1000 ".dat" files (present in big_directory) in it.
2. Automatically create a directory "dir2" and then copy the next 1000 ".dat" files (present in big_directory) in it.
3. Automatically create a directory "dir3" and then copy the next 1000 ".dat" files (present in big_directory) in it.
4. and so on until last file
I am using Linux with BASH. I know how to copy first 1000 files but not sure how to create directories automatically using a counter and copy them there.
I have a report file that is generated every day by a scheduled process.
Each day the file is written to a directory named .../blah_blah/Y07/MM-DD-YY/reportmmddyy.tab
I want to copy all of this reports to a separate directory without having to do it one by one.
However, if I try

Hello all.
I have a tar file that contains a number of files that are stored in different directories.
If I extract this tar file with -xvf , the directories get created.
Is there a way to extract all of the files into one directory without creating the directories stored in the tar file. (9 Replies)
Hi,
I am looking for the syntax to provide a timestamped log_file in expect.
Basically I want the equivalent of:
/outputs/`date +%d%m%y`/session`date +%H%M`
But scripted in expect so it can be handed over to the logfile function.
I have tried playing around with the timestamp... (1 Reply)

ifp
IFP(1) General Commands Manual IFP(1)NAME
ifp - access iRiver iFP audio devices
SYNOPSIS
ifp command [arguments ...]
DESCRIPTION
ifp lets you manage your music on an iRiver iFP music player acting in "Manager Mode". If your player is using "UMS Mode", then you don't
need this program; it will appear as new drive when you plug it in.
This manual page documents the version of ifp included as an example application for the libifp library. The interface is intended to mimic
the ifp binary found in the ifp-line binary package.
ifp can upload or download files or directories, delete or make directories on the device, format the device, or upgrade your firmware.
COMMANDS
ls [directory]
List the files and directories on the device. The root directory is /. Directories are preceded with 'd' and other files with 'f'.
df Display total and free space on the device.
upload localfile remotefile
Copy the file named localfile to the iFP device, and name it remotefile. (This is like cp.)
upload localfile remotedir
Copy the file named localfile to the iFP device, into remotedir. (This is like cp.)
upload localdir remotedir
Copy the entire directory localdir to the device, into remotedir. This copies into a subdirectory, so upload foo / puts files from
the directory foo info /foo on the device. (This is like cp -R.) This uploads the entire directory, not just audio files.
put localfile | localdir
Upload the file or directory to the device, with the same name it has locally. If a directory is given, it is put in /.
download remotefile localfile
download remotefile localdir
download remotedir localdir
Like upload, but copies from the iFP device to your system. Some proprietary file types may not be downloaded.
get remotefile | remotedir
Like put, but copies files or directories from the device to your current working directory.
rm [-r] file
Delete (recursively) a file (or directory) on the device.
rmdir dir
Delete an empty directory on the device.
mkdir dir
Create a directory on the device.
battery
Display battery status of the device.
typestring
Display the model number of the device.
firmversion
Display the firmware revision currently on the device.
format Reformat the device's memory. This will delete all your music.
firmupdate FIRMWARE.HEX
Upload the file FIRMWARE.HEX as new firmware for the device. This will not delete your music, but may have many other detrimental
effects. Don't turn the device off or unplug it while the firmware is updating, and don't attempt to upload new firmware with a low
battery.
