Simply Bash Script to Confirm that there are 2 Files in Same Folder
Im looking for 2 Files -> *.WAV and *.wav with

Code:
find . -name 'unavail.wav' -o -name 'unavail.WAV'

I need to list the Folders that contains these 2 Files?

Thx in advance

Maybe like this?

Code:
find . -iname 'unavail.wav' | tr A-Z a-z | sort | uniq -cd

That won't work as expected if there are folders that only differ in case too.

yeah, seems to working

Code:
XXX:[XXX]/voip/old # find . -name 'unavail.wav' -o -name 'unavail.WAV' | tr A-Z a-z | sort | uniq -cd
      2 ./2309/unavail.wav
      2 ./2315/unavail.wav
      2 ./33010/unavail.wav
      2 ./8336/unavail.wav
XXX:[XXX]/voicemail/voip/old #

Hi,

You could also use;

Code:
find . -name 'unavail.wav' -o -name 'unavail.WAV' -printf %h

This should print only directory names where matching files exist.

Should there be directories that differ in case only (the caveat that stomp mentioned, which is negligible with your numeric directories obviously), you could use
Code:
find . -iname 'unavail.wav' | rev | sort -t"/" -k2 | cut -d"/" -f2- | rev | uniq -cd

on the other hand, with a looong pipeline like that, you might be better off using e.g. awk.

this doesnt work for me. I find many folders but not those where both files (unavail.WAV & unawail.wav) were contained.

Code:
XXX:[XXX/voip/old # find . -name 'unavail.wav' -o -name 'unavail.WAV' -printf %h 
./7325./6657./2309./5863./3339./4045./96964./5867./3336./98764./33010./5891./2312./2057./2352./5861./7322./7332./8336./5890./2311./2128./2346./5880./2333./2300./5553./5881./5882./2313./2304./2360./2339./2335./5883./2369./2308./98765./2129./2325./96962./5252./7333./5371./4950./2329./6606./3333./2344./2306./5859./5898./5830./5897./5860./2321./2347./2316./5862./5864./2310./2307./34699./7331./2345./5896./5870./2399./2371./7320./3338./2356./2368./5866./2323./2380./2318./5868./2330./5872./5601./5833./2365./5894./5865./5885./2361./5843./2338./9015./2328./5869./2301./5886./2341./2354./2353./4946./2367./5893./2317./1234./2320./2303./2357./2319./2315XXX:[XXX]/voip/old #

when i look into the found foldes I see just one file
Code:
XXX:[XXX]/voip/old # ll 7325
insgesamt 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096  5. Aug 2011  INBOX
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6040  5. Aug 2011  unavail.WAV
XXX:[XXX]/voip/old #

but I need those Folders where both Files (unavail.wav & unawail.WAV) are in it.
Code:
XXX:[XXX]/voip/old # find . -name 'unavail.wav' -o -name 'unavail.WAV' | tr A-Z a-z | sort | uniq -cd
      2 ./2309/unavail.wav
      2 ./2315/unavail.wav
      2 ./33010/unavail.wav
      2 ./8336/unavail.wav
XXX:[XXX]/voip/old #

So when I look into these folders:
Code:
XXX:[XXX]/voip/old # ll 2309
insgesamt 164
-rwx------ 1 root root    386  5. Aug 2011  busy.WAV
drwx------ 2 root root   4096  5. Aug 2011  Cust5
-rwx------ 1 root root   1750  5. Aug 2011  greet.WAV
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root   4096  5. Aug 2011  INBOX
drwx------ 2 root root   4096  5. Aug 2011  Old
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134198  5. Aug 2011  unavail.wav
-rwx------ 1 root root   2010  5. Aug 2011  unavail.WAV
drwx------ 2 root root   4096  5. Aug 2011  Work
XXX:[XXX]/voip/old #


thx anyway

Hi,

Sorry, I assumed that you would have a bit more knowledge of find so for completeness;

Code:
find ./ -name 'unavail.wav' -o -name 'unavail.WAV' -printf '%#m %u %h\n'

Give that a try - you should read the find man page and adjust the required output on the printf option.
