Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Copy files based on specific word in a file name & its extension and putting it in required location Post 302984123 by Chubler_XL on Thursday 20th of October 2016 08:28:54 PM

This might get you started:

Code:
find MUM/HYR -type f -name "*hyr*" \( -name "*.db" -o -name "*.md" \) -print0 |
  xargs -r -0 cp -t TUM/HYR

cd MUM/HYR
for file in *hyr*.txt
do
   [ -f "$file" ] || continue
   dd if="$file" of="${file}.tmp" conv=edcdic
   mv "${file}.tmp" ../../TUM/HYR/"$file"
done
cd ../..

The [ -f "$file" ] || continue line above traps when not *hyr*.txt files exist in the source folder.
-r option of xargs stops running the cp command when input is empty (no files detected by find command).

dbs-edit-patch

DBS-EDIT-PATCH(1)						Debian Build System						 DBS-EDIT-PATCH(1)

NAME

       dbs-edit-patch - Edit a DBS patch

SYNOPSIS

       dbs-edit-patch [options] patch
       dbs-edit-patch -h|--help

DESCRIPTION

       dbs-edit-patch is script to generate or modify patches for Debian source-packages in DBS format.

WARNING

       dbs  is	deprecated,  please  switch  to  the  `3.0 (quilt)' Debian source package format instead. See http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/Deb-
       Src3.0#FAQ for a short guide how to do it.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -t dir, --tmpdir=dir
	      Directory for the temporary files, default is /tmp or if set $TMP.

       -s dir, --sourcedir=dir
	      Top level directory of the debian-package source-tree, default is the present working directory.

       -P dir, --sourcepatchdir=dir
	      Directory containing upstream patches.

       -T dir, --sourcetardir=dir
	      Directory containing the upstream tarball.

       -p level, --strip=level
	      Striplevel -p of patch (Option -p of diff(1)), accepted values are 0 and 1, default is 0.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       TMP    Sets the directory for the temporary files, can be overridden with -t dir.

debian/vars
       dbs-edit-patch will automatically use variables defined in the optional debian/vars file.

       When a file debian/vars.in exists and debian/vars either does not exist or is older  than  any  of  the	following  files:  debian/vars.in,
       debian/changelog, debian/rules or debian/control, then dbs-edit-patch will try updating the vars file by running the following command
	   make -f debian/rules -W debian/vars.in debian/vars

EXAMPLES

       Edit the 021_debian patch of Heimdal:

	   ~/heimdal-0.3d> dbs-edit-patch -t/tmp 021_debian
	   Extracting source heimdal-0.3d.tar.gz ... successful.
	   Applying patch 001_replay ... successful.
	   etc.
	   Copying heimdal-0.3d to heimdal-0.3d-old ... successful.
	   Applying patch 021_debian ... successful.

       Edit  files under /tmp/021_debian/heimdal-0.3d as required, then put a short description into /tmp/021_debian/patch-description if desired,
       and finally execute /tmp/021_debian/dbs-update-patch to save the results.

       Technical  note:  dbs-edit-patch  extracts  all	patches  before  021_debian  into  /tmp/021_debian/heimdal-0.3d,  copies  the  result	to
       /tmp/021_debian/heimdal-0.3d-old,  and  applies the last patch 021_debian (if it exists). Also, it creates a shell script which will create
       the diff between the old and new directories:

	   ~/heimdal-0.3d> ls -la /tmp/021_debian
	   total 12
	   -rwxr-xr-x	 1 bam	    users	  112 Jan 31 13:31 dbs-update-patch*
	   -rw-r--r--	 1 bam	    users	    0 Jan 31 13:31 patch-description
	   drwxr-xr-x	14 bam	    users	 4096 Jan 31 13:31 heimdal-0.3d/
	   drwxr-xr-x	14 bam	    users	 4096 Jan 31 13:31 heimdal-0.3d-old/
	   drwxr-xr-x	 5 bam	    users	 4096 Jan 31 13:31 .stampdir/

	   ~/heimdal-0.3d> cat /tmp/021_debian/dbs-update-patch
	   #!/bin/sh -e
	   cd "/tmp/021_debian"
	   HOOK_DIR="/usr/src/heimdal/debian/dbs-hooks"
	   test -d "$HOOK_DIR" && run-parts "$HOOK_DIR" --arg update-patch-prediff
	   find -name "*.bak" -print0 | xargs -0 --no-run-if-empty rm
	   find -name "*~" -print0 | xargs -0 --no-run-if-empty rm
	   : > new_patch
	   test ! -e patch-description || cp patch-description new_patch
	   diff -ruN heimdal-0.3d-old heimdal-0.3d >> new_patch || test $? -eq 1
	   mv new_patch  /usr/src/heimdal/debian/patches/021_debian
	   test -d "$HOOK_DIR" && run-parts "$HOOK_DIR" --arg update-patch-postdiff
