Bash to copy file 3 times and rename based on another file
In the below bash I am trying to copy the only text file (always only one) in /home/cmccabe/Desktop/list/QC/metrics.txt and rename each of the 3 text files according to /home/cmccabe/Desktop/test/list.txt using lines 3, 4 ,5. This format (that is list.txt) is always 5 lines. Thank you .
/home/cmccabe/Desktop/test/list.txt
Code:
analysis done using v1.5 by cmccabe at 02/08/17 12:19:08 PM
patients analyzed:
00-0000_Last-First
11-1111_LastName-FirstName
22-2222_LastLastName-FirstFirstName
/home/cmccabe/Desktop/list/QC (always a single text file with data in it)
Code:
metrics.txt
Code:
linesToSkip=2
{
for ((i=$linesToSkip;i--;)) ;do
read
done
files=( /home/cmccabe/Desktop/list/QC/metrics.txt )
i=0
while read -r new_name; do
mv "${files[$i]}" "$new_name"
(( i++ ))
}
done < /home/cmccabe/Desktop/test/list.txt

odidx purge name
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the odidx commands.
The command odidx is a utility for indexing files on the local file system. This command is useful for a full-text search system of a Web
site. Supported file format are plain text and HTML. Supported character encoding are US-ASCII and ISO-8859-1. The URI of each document is
specified with the path of its file. Attributes named as title and date are given to each documents. When a document is already existing in
the database, it is registered if its last modification time is newer, or it is ignored. Modification times are stored in the sub database
`_mtime' in the main database directory. Score information are stored in the sub database `_score' in the main database directory. This
command is used in the above format. name specifies a database name. dir specifies a directory name.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the file:///usr/share/doc/qdbm-doc/spex.html#odeumcli.
-l file
read a file and get list of paths of files to register. If `-' is specified, the standard input is read.
-wmax num
specify the max number of words to be stored in the document database.
-tsuf sufs
specify suffixes of plain text files in comma separated format. The default is `-tsuf .txt,.text'.
-hsuf sufs
specify suffixes of HTML files in comma separated format. The default is `-hsuf .html,.htm'.
EXAMPLES
For example, to register files which are under `/home/mikio' and whose suffix are `.txt', `.c', or `.h', perform the following command.
odidx register -tsuf ".txt,.c,.h" -hsuf "" casket /home/mikio
Thus, to retrieve documents which include `unix' and `posix' and show the top 8 terms, perform the following command.
odmgr search -max 8 -h casket "unix posix"
