Hello there! I'm having a lot of trouble writing a script.
The script is supposed to:
1) Find all files with the name "Object.mtl" within each folder in the directory: /Users/username/Desktop/convert/Objects
2) Search and replace the string ".bmp" with ".tif" (without the quotations)
3) Output the file to /Users/username/Desktop/convert/Props/ using the name of the folder the object was found in + .mtl
Example:
Code:
Found: /Users/username/Desktop/convert/Objects/Props00/Object.mtl
(Replace all ".bmp" with ".tif")
Output to: /Users/username/Desktop/convert/Props/Prop00.mtl
Found: /Users/username/Desktop/convert/Objects/Props01/Object.mtl
(Replace all ".bmp" with ".tif")
Output to: /Users/username/Desktop/convert/Props/Prop01.mtl
...And so on
Then:
4) Find all files with the name "Object.obj" within each folder in the directory: /Users/username/Desktop/convert/Objects
5) Rename the file to the folder it was found in + .obj
6) Move (or copy it doesn't really matter) to /Users/username/Desktop/convert/Props/
Example:
Code:
Found: /Users/username/Desktop/convert/Objects/Props00/Object.obj
(Rename Object.obj to Props00.obj)
Output to: /Users/username/Desktop/convert/Props/Prop00.obj
Found: /Users/username/Desktop/convert/Objects/Props01/Object.obj
(Rename Object.obj to Props01.obj)
Output to: /Users/username/Desktop/convert/Props/Prop01.obj
...And so on
Please if you could spare any help I would appreciate it!
Thank you very much!
By the way:
I used to know some very basic sed/unix programming, but it has all been lost. Here is what I started to do if you would like a good laugh:
Code:
find /Users/username/Desktop/convert/Objects -name "Object.mtl" -type f -exec sh -c '\
sed 's/.bmp/.tif/g' `dirname {} `/Object.mtl > `dirname {}`/Object2.mtl; \
rm -rf {} \
' \;

gvfs-trash
GVFS-TRASH(1) User Commands GVFS-TRASH(1)NAME
gvfs-trash - Move files or directories to the trash
SYNOPSIS
gvfs-trash [OPTION...] [LOCATION...]
DESCRIPTION
gvfs-trash sends files or directories to the "Trashcan". This can be a different folder depending on where the file is located, and not all
file systems support this concept. In the common case that the file lives inside a users home directory, the trash folder is
$XDG_DATA_HOME/Trash.
Note that moving files to the trash does not free up space on the file system until the "Trashcan" is emptied. If you are interested in
deleting a file irreversibly, see gvfs-rm.
Inspecting and emptying the "Trashcan" is normally supported by graphical file managers such as nautilus, but you can also see the trash
with the command gvfs-ls trash://.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-h, --help
Prints a short help text and exits.
-f, --force
Ignore nonexistent and non-deletable files.
--empty
Empty the trash.
EXIT STATUS
On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
