Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Copy files into another directory Post 302600955 by ankitha on Wednesday 22nd of February 2012 01:26:12 PM

Here are the examples of links in a html file. I have changed the webpage names and wordings but to give you a jist of what it would look like

Possible cases for documents are pdf, doc, docx, ppt, pptx, xls, xlsx, jpg. I want to be able to copy any of the above files into a separate directory (retaining the folder structure)

Absolute linking
Code:
<a href="http://mywebsite.com/Documents/comm_ed/regform.pdf">

Relative linking
Code:
<a href="Documents/PDF/handbook.pdf" target="_blank">
<a href-"Documents/htb/1112.doc" title="test" target="_blank">
<a href="Documents/life/2011-12 HANDBOOK.pdf">
<a href="documents/science/oral06R2.pdf">
<a href="Documents/arts&amp;letters/F 11 FINAL.doc">
<a href="documents/b_office/Office%20Change%20Request.doc">
<a href="../../html/Documents/htb/211_diverse.xls">


Note: There are space in the names of the pdf's and they use upper and lower case 'd'

External site ( I really don't care for this but it shows up in my query)
Code:
<a href="http://yahoo.com">

Email link ( I really don't care for this but it shows up in my query)
Code:
<a href="mailto:webmaster@mywebsite.com">

Linking to page within the site ( I really don't care for this but it shows up in my query)
Code:
<a href="anotherpage.html">



Ideally, I would like to be able to create directories and copy the files as well. Eg: if my list has Documents/PDF/document1.pdf I want to copy it to a location say in my destination 'copy' folder copy/Documents/PDF/document1.pdf

I am hoping to keep the directory hierarchy so I don't break any existing links in the html files.

Thank you so much for your help.

I need to copy about 13 Tb of data from one directory and subdirectories to the other (another mount point).

htpurge

htdig(1)						      General Commands Manual							  htdig(1)

NAME

       htpurge -  remove unused documents from the database (general maintenance script)

SYNOPSIS

       htpurge [-][-a][-c configfile][-u][-v]

DESCRIPTION

       Htpurge	functions to remove specified URLs from the databases as well as bad URLs, unretrieved URLs, obsolete documents, etc. It is recom-
       mended that htpurge be run after htdig to clean out any documents of this sort.

       OPTIONS

       -      Take URL list from standard input (rather than specified with -u). Format of input file is one URL per line.  -a Use alternate  work
	      files.  Tells htpurge to append .work to database files, causing a second copy of the database to be built. This allows the original
	      files to be used by htsearch during the run.

       -c configfile
	      Use the specified configfile instead of the default.

       -u URL Add this URL to the list of documents to remove. Must be specified multiple times if more than one URL are to be removed. Should nor
	      be used together with -.

       -v     Verbose  mode.  This  increases the verbosity of the program.  Using more than 2 is probably only useful for debugging purposes. The
	      default verbose mode (using only one -v) gives a nice progress report while digging.

FILES

       /etc/htdig/htdig.conf
	      The default configuration file.

SEE ALSO

       Please refer to the HTML pages (in the htdig-doc package) /usr/share/doc/htdig-doc/html/index.html and the manual  pages  htdigconfig(8)  ,
       htdig(1) and htmerge(1) for a detailed description of ht://Dig and its commands.
