Do any of the 350,000 files you're moving have names that contain any space, tab, or newline characters?
Hi Don,
I am on Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS. The files do not contain any special characters except _
Actually the format is something like
<xyz>_n1_n2_n3.pbx
where <xyz> is a prefix containing only alphabets [a-z A-Z]
n1 is a number less than 10
n2 is a number less than 1000
n3 is a number less than 10000
pbx is the extension

Thanks.. Although I did not get an error for too many files with for I in *, find seems faster and as you mentioned safer if the number of files increase.

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

convert(1) General Commands Manual convert(1)NAME
convert - convert an audio file
SYNOPSIS
[source_file] [target_file] [] []
[] [] []
[] []
DESCRIPTION
This command converts audio files from one supported file format, data format, sampling rate, and number of channels to another. The
unconverted file is retained as a source file.
are the file formats for the source and destination files.
Each format can be one of these:
Sun file format
NeXT file format
Microsoft RIFF Waveform file format
MuLaw format
ALaw
linear 16-bit format
offset (unsigned) linear 8-bit format
linear 8-bit format
If you omit uses the header or filename extension in the source file. You can omit if you supply a filename extension for the des-
tination file.
is the data type for the destination files.
data_type can be one of these:
MuLaw
ALaw
linear 16-bit
offset (unsigned) linear 8-bit data
linear 8-bit data
If you omit uses an appropriate data type, normally the data type of the source file.
are the number of samples per second for the source and
destination file. Typical sampling rates range from 8 to 11k (for voice quality) to 44,100 (for CD quality). You can use to indi-
cate thousands. For example, means 8,000 samples per second.
If you omit uses a rate defined by the source file header or its filename extension. For a raw file with no extension, 8,000 is
used. By playing the file, you can determine if 8,000 samples is too fast or too slow.
If you omit uses a sampling rate appropriate for the destination file format; if possible, it matches the sampling rate of the
source file.
are the number of channels in the source and destination files.
Use for mono; for stereo. If is omitted, uses the information in the header; for raw data files, it uses mono.
If is omitted, matches what was used for the source file (through the header or option); for raw data files, it uses mono.
EXAMPLES
Convert a raw data file to a headered file.
Convert a raw data file to a headered file when the source has no extension, was sampled at 11,025 per second, and has stereo data.
To save disk space, convert an audio file with CD quality sound to voice quality sound.
