Full Discussion: renaming according to text search
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting renaming according to text search Post 302713755 by elixir_sinari on Thursday 11th of October 2012 08:50:04 AM

A bit convoluted but works:
Code:
printf "%s\n" *.txt|while read fname
do
if awk 'match($0,/translat(ion|ed) from/){
t=substr($0,RSTART)
gsub(/[^A-Za-z0-9_ -]/,"",t)
if(length(t)){print t;exit(0)}}
END{if(!length(t)) exit(1)}' <(head -20 "$fname") > temp
then
 mv "$fname" "${fname%.txt}_$(<temp).txt"
fi
done

If your grep supports the -m and -o switches, you could simplify this. But, then you'll have to make sure that you don't have some "wild" characters in the matching strings.

clmmeet

clm meet(1)							  USER COMMANDS 						       clm meet(1)

  NAME
      clm meet - compute the intersection of a set of clusterings.

      clmmeet  is not in actual fact a program. This manual page documents the behaviour and options of the clm program when invoked in mode meet.
      The options -h, --apropos, --version, -set, --nop are accessible in all clm modes. They are described in the clm manual page.

  SYNOPSIS
      clm meet [-o fname (output file name)] [-h (print synopsis, exit)] [--apropos (print synopsis,  exit)]  [--version  (print  version,  exit)]
      <file name>+

  DESCRIPTION
      clm  meet  computes the intersection of a set of clusterings, that is, the largest clustering that is a subclustering of all the clusterings
      in the set. It stores the intersection (or meet) in the argument to the -o flag, which must be the first option given.  All remaining  argu-
      ments  are  interpreted  as  names of files containing clusterings in mcl format (see mcxio(5)), which must all pertain to a set of the same
      cardinality.

      This utility can be useful in measuring (in conjunction with clm dist) the consistency of a set of clusterings at different levels of granu-
      larity  -  if  the meet of all those clusterings is close to being a subclustering of each of them, consistency is good. See clm dist for an
      example.

  OPTIONS
      -o fname (output file name)

      Stijn van Dongen.
