Files with same names in different folders
Hello,
I am looking for a command line that can do some operations on two files that have the same names but in different folders.
for example if
folder A contains files 1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt,..
folder B contains files 1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt,..
If I would like to concatenate the two files /A/1.txt and /B/1.txt and A/2.txt and B/2.txt, what is a shell command that I had to do to do that:
If file name in A is equal the file name in B; cat /A/1.txt /B/1.txt; done
I would like to do that for all files in folders A and B, if only names are matched.
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Mohamed

I'm trying to copy multiple folders from the remote machine to the local machine. I wrote a batch file to run an ftp window.
The problem I am having is that the only command to copy files is mget *, and this copies only files, not folders.
For example, ftp ts555

I've got two folders, say, "folder1" and "folder2".

However, if I change the above question a... (1 Reply)

NEW(1) [nmh-1.5] NEW(1)
NAME
new - report on folders with new messages
fnext - set current folder to next folder with new messages
fprev - set current folder to previous folder with new messages
unseen - scan new messages in all folders with new messages
SYNOPSIS
new [sequences] [-mode mode] [-folders foldersfile] [-version] [-help]
fnext is equivalent to new -mode fnext
fprev is equivalent to new -mode fprev
unseen is equivalent to new -mode unseen
DESCRIPTION
New in its default mode produces a one-line-per-folder listing of all folders containing messages in the listed sequences or in the
sequences listed in the profile entry "Unseen-Sequence". Each line contains the folder, the number of messages in the desired sequences,
and the message lists from the .mh_sequences file. For example:
foo 11.* 40-50
bar 380. 760-772 824-828
total 391.
The `*' on foo indicates that it is the current folder. The last line shows the total number of messages in the desired sequences.
New crawls the folder hierarchy recursively to find all folders, and prints them in lexicographic order. Override this behavior by provid-
ing foldersfile containing the pre-sorted list of folders new should check, one per line.
In fnext and fprev modes, new instead changes to the next or previous matching folder, respectively.
In unseen mode, new executes scan sequences for each matching folder.
FILES
$HOME/.mh_profile The user profile
PROFILE COMPONENTS
Path: To determine the user's nmh directory
Current-Folder: To find the default current folder
Unseen-Sequence: The name of the unseen message sequence
