Lftp mirror pattern
hi
I have lftp server directory like this:
Code:
13991010
13991011
13991012
13991013
Fabric
Test
Test2


I want to mirror only content of latest directory with this pattern 13991013 (8digit)
Content of each directory like this : 13991013 > customers1 customers2 customers3
e.g.
something like this:

Code:
mirror -include ‘^[0-9]{8}$'/*

Any recommendation?
Thanks,

Hi
try this
Code:
: [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]; echo mirror -include "$_"/*
mirror -include 13991013/customers1 13991013/customers2 13991013/customers3

if everything works correctly, remove the 'echo'

or
Code:
 : [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]; echo mirror -include "$_/*"
mirror -include 13991013/*

--- Post updated at 00:24 ---

Or maybe this will be enough?
Code:
: 1*; echo mirror -include "$_/*"
mirror -include 13991013/*

Sorry, I can't understand the question. In the above examples with pattern '[0-9]' ,
the largest eight-digit integer or the pattern itself (if no matches are found) will be displayed in the "$_" variable
try this
Code:
: [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]; echo $_

possible you need to find the last directory by modification time.
Then it's better to use 'find' or 'ls' with the option '-t'

--- Post updated at 15:50 ---

try this
Code:
: $(ls -dptr [0-9]*); echo $_

--- Post updated at 15:56 ---

else
Code:
mirror --include "$(ls -pt | grep -Em1 '[0-9]{8}/$')*"

check first separately
Code:
ls -pt | grep -Em1 '[0-9]{8}/$'

--- Post updated at 16:09 ---

maybe this?
Code:
ls -pt | grep -m1 '[0-9]*/$'

Thank you for your reply but it give directory name not content of it.

Currently Output: 13991013

Expected output:
customers1
customers2
customers3
...

FYI: as I mention before content of each directory is different

Hello
Please do not quote everything meaninglessly. This makes it difficult to work with your topic.
The main task was to find the last directory either by number or by creation time.
I still haven't received an answer, we have dealt with the main task or not and which option is right for you.
Just in case, I bring a few and I hope for your detailed answers
Code:
mirror --include "$(ls -pt | grep -Em1 '[0-9]{8}/$')"*
mirror --include "$(ls -pt | grep -m1 '[0-9]*/$')"*

Regards
Nez
