I have a question for you, I'm trying to create a script that will automate creating loading screens for the iPhone.
So what I need to do, is list the directories inside /var/mobile/Applications and scan inside those, for the .app directory inside each. Take that .app name and create a folder in /var/stash/Themes/LoadingScreens.theme/Folders with the same name found earlier.
I tried to get the list with this command:
Code:
find /var/mobile/Applications/ -name "*.app"
But what I get is a list with the full path in front of what I need to get. How could I either truncate it to keep only what I need, or either list only the .app directories, and not the full path preceding it?
I was able to shorten the path to: /ThisIsAnApp.app using the following command:
Code:
find /var/mobile/Applications/ -name "*.app" | sed 's/\/.*\/.*\/.*\/\(.*\)/\/\1/g'
After looking at another post about truncating here.
While I can follow guides, and stuff, and I'm confortable with linux based system, I don't know the commands in enough details to come up with a solution myself. So just by telling me to look at the split function of perl, wouldnt be enough, but sure a starting point for me to look for.
Here is a concrete example of what exactly I'm trying to do.
If I list my /var/mobile/Applications, I will have a bunch of directories named like this:
026E729E-B9D1-4A7A-B07F-A5DAEA4F2E7E and so on.
Inside each is a few folders, and filenames. But what I want to get is the DoodleJump.app directory name inside that 026E729E-B9D1-4A7A-B07F-A5DAEA4F2E7E folder. Then create a DoodleJump.app folder in /var/stash/Themes/LoadingScreens.theme/Folders directory.
And repeat for every directories inside /var/mobile/Applications.
I hope it's more clear now.. Sorry I'm french, so...

Is it possibe to use sed for the following? I would like to truncate the output of a directory path if it's over 3 directory levels deep. For example:
/dir1/dir2/dir3 -- NO change required
but,
/dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4 would output as ~/dir4
Thanks. (4 Replies)
