Example:
find . -name 'audit_log*.gz' -print -exec gunzip -c {} \| grep IP \;
Need to add a key to this to get:
-file name.
-list IP from audit_log*.gz files.
You've used the semi-column incorrectly. It should be at the end of the find command and before the pipe. Try this one-liner:
find . -type f -iname 'audit_log*.gz' -exec gunzip -c {} \; | grep IP

I need to get all the texts in the matching file in the folder. However, at the same time need to get the matching file path as well. How can I get the matching file path as well using the following command.
find . -type f -name release.txt | xargs cat
try
find . -type f -name release.txt -exec grep -il {} \; | xargs cat
Skip xargs, just do:
find . -type f -name release.txt -exec sh -c 'echo "$1"; cat "$1"' _ {} \;
In order to find all logs files with a pattern from all subdirectories I used the command :
du -csh *log.2017*
But this command does not search in subdirectories. Is there any way to get the total size of all files with a pattern from all subdirectories?
This will do the trick:
find . -name *log.2017* | xargs du -csh
find . -name *log.2017* -type f -exec stat -c "%s" {} \; | paste -sd+ | bc
you can use find command
find /path -type f -name "*log.2017*" -exec stat -c "%s" {} \; | bc
It will do the search recursively.
I know how to change file format from dos to unix by use dos2unix, but how can I change ALL the files will under a directory tree. Can dos2unix change files recursively?
for example, I have some files like following:
TOPDIR
|
+-----dir1
| |
| +---file1,file2, file3
|
+-----dir2
|
+---file4,file5
How can I change them in one time, or use some shell scripts?
better to do find /path -type -f -exec dos2unix '{}' \;
find /path -name '*' -type f -exec dos2unix {} \;
dos2unix -k `find . -type f`
find . -type f -exec dos2unix -k '{}' \;
find . -type f -print | xargs dos2unix -k
Any of above command can be used from TOPDIR
I try this:
find . -exec iconv -f iso8859-2 -t utf-8 {} \;
but output goes to the screen, not to the same file. How to do it?
Try this:
find . -type f -print -exec iconv -f iso8859-2 -t utf-8 -o {}.converted {} \; -exec mv {}.converted {} \;
It will use temp file with '.converted' suffix (extension) and then will move it to original name, so be careful if you have files with '.converted' suffixes (I don't think you have).
Also this script is not safe for filenames containing spaces, so for more safety you should double-quote: "{}" instead of {} and "{}.converted" instead of {}.converted
read about enconv.
If you need to convert to your current terminal encoding you can do it like that:
find . -exec enconv -L czech {}\;
Or exactly what you wanted:
find . -exec enconv -L czech -x utf8 {}\;
I found this method worked well for me, especially where I had multiple file encodings and multiple file extensions.
Create a vim script called script.vim:
set bomb
set fileencoding=utf-8
wq
Then run the script on the file extensions you wish to target:
find . -type f \( -iname "*.html" -o -iname "*.htm" -o -iname "*.php" -o -iname "*.css" -o -iname "*.less" -o -iname "*.js" \) -exec vim -S script.vim {} \;
No one proposed a way to automatically detect encoding and recode.
Here is an example to recode to UTF-8 all HTM/HTML files from master branch of a GIT.
git ls-tree master -r --name-only | grep htm | xargs -n1 -I{} bash -c 'recode "$(file -b --mime-encoding {})..utf-8" {}'
I would like to find the files containing specific string under linux.
I tried something like but could not succeed:
find . -name *.txt | egrep mystring
Here you are sending the file names (output of the find command) as input to egrep; you actually want to run egrep on the contents of the files.
Here are a couple of alternatives:
find . -name "*.txt" -exec egrep mystring {} \;
or even better
find . -name "*.txt" -print0 | xargs -0 egrep mystring
Check the find command help to check what the single arguments do.
The first approach will spawn a new process for every file, while the second will pass more than one file as argument to egrep; the -print0 and -0 flags are needed to deal with potentially nasty file names (allowing to separate file names correctly even if a file name contains a space, for example).
try:
find . -name '*.txt' | xargs egrep mystring
There are two problems with your version:
Firstly, *.txt will first be expanded by the shell, giving you a listing of files in the current directory which end in .txt, so for instance, if you have the following:
[dsm#localhost:~]$ ls *.txt
test.txt
[dsm#localhost:~]$
your find command will turn into find . -name test.txt. Just try the following to illustrate:
[dsm#localhost:~]$ echo find . -name *.txt
find . -name test.txt
[dsm#localhost:~]$
Secondly, egrep does not take filenames from STDIN. To convert them to arguments you need to use xargs
find . -name *.txt | egrep mystring
That will not work as egrep will be searching for mystring within the output generated by find . -name *.txt which are just the path to *.txt files.
Instead, you can use xargs:
find . -name *.txt | xargs egrep mystring
You could use
find . -iname *.txt -exec egrep mystring \{\} \;
Here's an example that will return the file paths of a all *.log files that have a line that begins with ERROR:
find . -name "*.log" -exec egrep -l '^ERROR' {} \;
there's a recursive option from egrep you can use
egrep -R "pattern" *.log
If you only want the filenames:
find . -type f -name '*.txt' -exec egrep -l pattern {} \;
If you want filenames and matches:
find . -type f -name '*.txt' -exec egrep pattern {} /dev/null \;
