Full Discussion: How to print full path name along with file extension?
Operating Systems Linux How to print full path name along with file extension? Post 303007316 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 15th of November 2017 08:13:57 AM

Bash variable substitution option
Even this could do the trick:-
Code:
#!/bin/bash

while read full_filename
do
   directory="${full_filename%/*}/"
   filenames="*.${full_filename##*.}"
   echo "${directory}${filenames}"
done < <(find /abc -type f) | sort -u

I'm not saying it's pretty; it is just another alternative if that suits your coding style. It uses very few processes, which might be important to performance if you have lots of files.


Assuming that this is to be used by something else that will expand it all again, is there a reason not to build this process into that code and remove the need to juggle it all and then re-expand?

Can you elaborate?

GIT-MAILSPLIT(1)						    Git Manual							  GIT-MAILSPLIT(1)

NAME

       git-mailsplit - Simple UNIX mbox splitter program

SYNOPSIS

       git mailsplit [-b] [-f<nn>] [-d<prec>] [--keep-cr] -o<directory> [--] [(<mbox>|<Maildir>)...]

DESCRIPTION

       Splits a mbox file or a Maildir into a list of files: "0001" "0002" .. in the specified directory so you can process them further from
       there.

	   Important
	   Maildir splitting relies upon filenames being sorted to output patches in the correct order.

OPTIONS

       <mbox>
	   Mbox file to split. If not given, the mbox is read from the standard input.

       <Maildir>
	   Root of the Maildir to split. This directory should contain the cur, tmp and new subdirectories.

       -o<directory>
	   Directory in which to place the individual messages.

       -b
	   If any file doesn't begin with a From line, assume it is a single mail message instead of signaling error.

       -d<prec>
	   Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros, different precision can be specified for the generated filenames.

       -f<nn>
	   Skip the first <nn> numbers, for example if -f3 is specified, start the numbering with 0004.

       --keep-cr
	   Do not remove 
 from lines ending with 
.
