Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Moving files from parent path to multiple child path using bash in efficient way Post 302942909 by karthikgv417 on Sunday 3rd of May 2015 09:27:54 PM

Hi Cragun,

Please see answers for questions, which helps provide complete picture:


1. We dont have symbolic links in path, so we can ignore it.
2. I am trying to move regular files with pathnames matching the pattern /Path/AdminUser/*/*/Reports/*.txt to the corresponding pathname after removing AdminUser/ from the source pathname.

3. It can ignore that source pathname.

4. Empty source directories should be in place after files are moved out of them.

5. Yes the entire file hierarchy rooted in /Path in a single filesystem.

To improve performance can any thing like xargs play a major role

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::FileFinder::ByName(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	      Dist::Zilla::Plugin::FileFinder::ByName(3pm)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::FileFinder::ByName - FileFinder matching on pathnames VERSION
version 4.300020 SYNOPSIS
In your dist.ini: [FileFinder::ByName / MyFiles] dir = bin ; look in the bin/ directory dir = lib ; and the lib/ directory file = *.pl ; for .pl files match = .pm$ ; and for .pm files skip = ignore ; that don't have "ignore" in the path DESCRIPTION
FileFinder::ByName is a FileFinder that selects files by matching the criteria you specify against the pathname. There are three types of criteria you can use. "dir" limits the search to a particular directory. "match" is a regular expression that must match the pathname. "skip" is a regular expression that must not match the pathname. Each key can be specified multiple times. Multiple occurrences of the same key are ORed together. Different keys are ANDed together. That means that to be selected, a file must be located in one of the "dir"s, must match one of the "match" regexs, and must not match any of the "skip" regexs. Note that "file" and "match" are considered to be the same key. They're just different ways to write a regex that the pathname must match. Omitting a particular key means that criterion will not apply to the search. Omitting all keys will select every file in your dist. Note: If you need to OR different types of criteria, then use more than one instance of FileFinder::ByName. A FileFinderUser should allow you to specify more than one FileFinder to use. ATTRIBUTES
dir The file must be located in one of the specified directories (relative to the root directory of the dist). file The filename must match one of the specified patterns (which are converted to regexs using Text::Glob and combined with any "match" rules). match The pathname must match one of these regular expressions. skip The pathname must not match any of these regular expressions.
