Print all the directory with no directory name mydir
directory structure:
Code:
100k server1/ab_1234567_1/mydir
500k server1/ab_1234567_2
100k server1/ab_1234567_3/mydir
100k server1/ab_1731458_9/mydir
600k server1/ab_1234569_1
100k server1/ab_1234569_4/mydir
100k server1/ab_1234510_40/mydir
800k server1/ab_1234511_1

is there any way to generate the result ?
is there any possible solution for this?
googling like this very difficult.


result:
Code:
500k 1234567
200k 1234567/mydir
100k 1234568/mydir
600k 1234569
100k 1234569/mydir
100k 1234510/mydir
800k 1234511

thanks

Maybe if you explained a bit more what we are looking at, and what you want (which doesnt seem to be what you mentionned in the title:
Quote:
Print all the directory with no directory name mydir
We could try to help you but here I must say I am confused...
e.g.
Code:
100k server1/ab_1234567_1/mydir

if this is a directory structure what is the meaning of the space after the initial 100k?
Or should you first tell us what your OS is and the shell you are using...

This is nearly the same as you have asked before.
Learn how to use Field Separator and print formatting in awk, and you can tweak this yourself.

Just go step by step. First get the list of prefixes, sorted unique, then for each make a total for the prefix_*/, then detect any prefix_*/mydir/ and if present make a total for that.
Code:
ls server/ab_*_*/|sed '
  s/^server.ab_\([0-9]*\)_[0-9]*.$/\1/
 ' | sort -u | while read pfix
 do
  sum=0
  du -sk server/ab_${pfix}_* | while read k n
   do
    (( sum += k ))
   done
  echo ${sum}k $pfix
  sum=0
  du -sk server/ab_${pfix}_*/mydir | while read k n
   do
    (( sum += k ))
   done
  if [ $sum = 0 ]
   then
    continue
   fi
  echo ${sum}k $pfix/mydir
 done

thank for the response and yes that what exactly I want, but executing the script I got error message:

and here is my process:
Code:
pwd
/root

Code:
ls server
ab_1234510_40  ab_1234511_1  ab_1234567_1  ab_1234567_2  ab_1234567_3  ab_1234569_1  ab_1234569_4  ab_1731458_9

Code:
nano test3.sh
then copy and paste your script

Code:

Well, sometimes it is cheaper to "2>/dev/null" than to test for potential directories or files.
  • You can test inside 'for x in zzz*;do ... done' to see if x is literally "zzz*" and continue. Note that the shell does all the work expanding glob expressions like zzz* without the cost of a fork()/exec() of 'ls' or 'find'.
  • The form 'ls zzz* 2>/dev/null | while read e' does nothing if zzz* does not expand, ls errors it out on stderr and it is never read from stdout pipe stdin into e, unlike the 'for' case.
  • The 'find' command does not complain or provide unexpanded glob expressions like 'zzz*', but it goes down the tree, whereas 'ls' just does the dirs or files (and unexpanded glob expressions like 'zzz*') it is given.
