to find the file with full path
Hi,
I have written this shell script:
fl=`ls -1lrt $mylist | grep '\.xml$' | awk '{print $9}'`
echo $fl (1)
for i in $fl
do
for dir in $mylist
do
if [ -f $dir/$i ]
then
echo $dir/$i >> tmp (2)
fi
done
done
The mylist contains some directory names. The satement (1) gives the sorted list of files from multiple directories. the satement (2) lists the same files with their full path. But here I get some duplicate lines in tmp file when two files with same name in different directories. Due to some condition I have no clue to remove the duplicate entries bcoz it is unknown that which entry should be removed. The above script works fine if there is no multiple file ahving same name.
I have written the above code to find the list of files from multiple directories which are sorted by the time of their creation irrespective of directories.
so please tell is there any other way to do the same thing.

dh_movefiles
DH_MOVEFILES(1) Debhelper DH_MOVEFILES(1)
NAME
dh_movefiles - move files out of debian/tmp into subpackages
SYNOPSIS
dh_movefiles [debhelperoptions] [--sourcedir=dir] [-Xitem] file...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_movefiles is a debhelper program that is responsible for moving files out of debian/tmp or some other directory and into other package
build directories. This may be useful if your package has a Makefile that installs everything into debian/tmp, and you need to break that
up into subpackages.
Note: dh_install is a much better program, and you are recommended to use it instead of dh_movefiles.
FILES
debian/package.files
Lists the files to be moved into a package, separated by whitespace. The filenames listed should be relative to debian/tmp/. You can
also list directory names, and the whole directory will be moved.
OPTIONS
--sourcedir=dir
Instead of moving files out of debian/tmp (the default), this option makes it move files out of some other directory. Since the entire
contents of the sourcedir is moved, specifying something like --sourcedir=/ is very unsafe, so to prevent mistakes, the sourcedir must
be a relative filename; it cannot begin with a `/'.
-Xitem, --exclude=item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being installed.
file ...
Lists files to move. The filenames listed should be relative to debian/tmp/. You can also list directory names, and the whole directory
will be moved. It is an error to list files here unless you use -p, -i, or -a to tell dh_movefiles which subpackage to put them in.
NOTES
Note that files are always moved out of debian/tmp by default (even if you have instructed debhelper to use a compatibility level higher
than one, which does not otherwise use debian/tmp for anything at all). The idea behind this is that the package that is being built can be
told to install into debian/tmp, and then files can be moved by dh_movefiles from that directory. Any files or directories that remain are
ignored, and get deleted by dh_clean later.
