Find a list of files in directory, move to new, allow duplicates
Greetings. I know enough Unix to be dangerous (!) and know that there is a clever way to do the following and it will save me about a day of agony (this time) and I will use it forever after! (many days of agony saved in the future)!
Basically
I need to find any image files (JPGs, PSDs etc) that contain any one of about 300 different product SKUs in the filename that are within a directory and it's subdirectories and then move them out and into one new directory - on my desktop for example and keep (not over-write) duplicates.
Spelled out in details:
find
I need to search a directory and all it's subdirectories for any filenames that contain a certain set of characters (eg. a filename CP37-BL which might be CP37-BL.jpg or CP37-BL+140806.jpg or there might be several CP37-BL.jpg's in multiple different subdirectories). I have 300 DIFFERENT finds to perform and would love to be able to cut and paste a space or comma separated list or draw from a .txt or .csv file all the different filename portions
eg.
Code:
CP36-BL
CP36-BR
CP36-GR
CP36-OR
CP36-PK
-- any instances that contains any part of that in the filename. The above is 5 of the 300. I would like to run the command 1x not 300x
mv
So, I need to find all those different files and MOVE to a particular target directory - AND allow duplicates (e.g. if there are 2 CP37-BL.jpg files then I want to keep both (appending a _v1 or _copy1 or something to the end of the filename in the case of duplicates.
That's it!
Any thoughts? And THANK YOU in advance!
PS. I am running this in Terminal on Apple OSX 10.9.4
