Wow. I like the look of those.

They seem like they'd be much easier to edit being that we're just calling each piece of the file a different variable.

I don't completely understand it yet,...

Hey, I got lucky and worked it out myself. I thought it would be harder.



#!/bin/sh

for file in "$@"
do
ext=${file##*.}
base=${file%.*}
num=${base##*[r_]}

Yes well, unfortunately, I don't get to keep up with this stuff as often as I'd like, since this isn't really part of my job. I took a stab at it but failed miserably. So rather than have my boss...

I need to alter this script to work with a revision instead of a version.
RF_102_209_200_v001_r01.nk is the new format and I'll be revisioning up the r01 portion and not the v001.


#!/bin/sh ...

That works great!
Thank you.

It seems to easy now that I see it done correctly.

That works but I lose the "initials."
The file produced is 098_FGT_550_comp_v0003.nk

Once I get this working, several different people will be using it, so I need it to restore the initials.

I have this code that works great ...

#!/bin/sh

for file in "$@"

ext=${file##*.}
base=${file%.*}
num=${base##*v}
zeroes=${num%%[!0]*}

Ok, here's a crazy question: Does anyone know how to do this on windoz that will produce windoz shortcuts?

Yes. Thank you. I'll do that. I was thinking of adding some interactivity to the script for the 53:14 but it works so well, I only need to use it once per item.

The code is genius, works like...

Fantastic success! The script works even better than I'd hoped after I set some variable for other files I want links to.

Thanks so much! This code is truly awesome.
#!/bin/sh
#Variables...

Without trying that code, it looks to be exactly what I need. Thank you. I'm fairly confident it will work. Also, I can easily use an underscore instead of a space, which I will per your...

In production we have NDAs. I can't just go posting stuff like that. I'll have to make up similar paths. Yes, even the names of the production are protected.


I still don't understand why you...

Thank you for taking the time to reply, but I really don't understand what the big confusion is.

I need to search several directories for a specific directory name, which will occur in every...

Ah, yes I see. Your assumptions are right. I do expect a long string to be returned from find, and I do need to extract characters from that long path and pass them to the ln command.
I'm using...

I'm trying to do something like this:


find . -name blablabla -exec ln -s ./"{:53:14} blablabla" \;


The idea is find blablabla and create a symbolic link to it using part of it's path and...

Wow, you're right. I completely wrote that command backward in the original post. It should have been mv ../fa/la/bla ./.bla

I got great feedback even though I completely screwed up the...

I'll try that newer code. I'm sure it'll work great. Thanks again.

I find it funny that I know so little about simple coding like this and a lot of people think I'm some sort of genius. If...

Actually, I wanted it to fail if no files matched.

I like the cp "$c" ".${c##*/}" idea. I'll try that.
Thanks!

Thanks for allowing me to vent. My wife can't comprehend. I told her it's...

It drives me crazy when I start a new job and they say, "This is how we do ..."
I sit and watch and when they finish I usually say, "You do that every time, with every file?"
"Yes!"
"I could...

I was quite proud of it. It works fast and efficiently. BTW there is no security issue here. I work in visual fx. We use files called cdl (color decision list) ... well if the cdl file is in the...

I figured it out. It may be convoluted but it works.

c=$(cd ../../bla/bla ; find . -name *.xyz) # Set variable c to filename (./filename.xyz)
c=$(c:3:23) # Remove "./" from c variable's filename...

How can I rename a file with a . prefix?
I actually need to copy the file but the . seems to be very tough to do.

mv ./bla ../fa/la/.bla - doesn't work. I've tried all sorts of bracketing and...

Yes! That works perfectly. Thank you!

That works but changes the first number.
I need one that changes the last number and ignores the first.

So, 093_180_v001_004.aep ; would become 093_180_v001_005.aep

The thing is that the...

I have this script:
#!/bin/sh

ext=${file##*.}
base=${file%.*}
num=${base##*v}
zeroes=${num%%[!0]*}
num=${num#$zeroes} ...
