I am confused to how to copy a specific type of files from a folder structure to simply a folder on a LINUX machine.
This is how the source folder structure is:
Folder_X
file1.type
file2.nottype
- Folder_Y
file3.type
file4.nottype
- Folder_P
file5.type
file6.nottype
- Folder_A
file7.type
file8.nottype
- Folder_Z
file9.type
file10.nottype
So When I do find . -iname "*.type" in Folder_X, I get following output
./file1.type
./Folder_Y/file3.type
./Folder_Y/Folder_P/file5.type
./Folder_Y/Folder_P/Folder_A/file7.type
./Folder_Z/file9.type
I want to copy these .type extension files to another location in a single folder as this
/some/another/location/Folder_I
file1.type
file3.type
file5.type
file7.type
file9.type
Any help is appreciated... Thank you for time
try below code,
The find command has a -exec option.
ref : https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/find.1.html
find . -iname "*.type" -exec cp {} /some/another/location/Folder_I \;

Imagine the below database that has thousands of files. I want to search for a file name that has the letter D. and 0329. I tried this but it searches all directory not current one and search does not work together.
find . -name "*D.*" | find . -name "*0329*"
File Names
A.20180329
A.20180327
B.20180329
B.20180321
C.20180321
D.20180329
D.20180329
D.20180327
D.20180321
E.20180321
E.20180321
Below command should work if its linux.
ls -lRt *|grep D|grep 0329
First of all... I'm newbie in linux! haha
I'm trying to show all the files and directories from a main directory but I need to exclude the main directory record.
Example (all files in /var/www/html):
index.php
Images
Images/1.jpg
Images/2.jpg
Images/3.jp3
Includes
Includes/db.php
Includes/security.php
The records that I want to exclude I've shown in bold / strong
Now I'm using this command:
find /var/www/html/ -mindepth 1 -printf '%P\n'
I appreciate any help. Regards!
So I have a directory that has a number of files. I'm wondering what I need to find files within that directory. My files have a naming convention and then a last name. I'd like to find by the naming convention.
/MyDir/MySubDir/2016_01_randomLastNameABC
/MyDir/MySubDir/2016_01_randomLastNameDEF
/MyDir/MySubDir/2016_01_randomLastNameGHD
/MyDir/MySubDir/2016_01_randomLastNameDGD
find "/MyDir/MySubDir/2016_01_*"
I keep getting an error that says:
"linux file names usually don't contain slashes"
It must not like the fact that I'm trying to search a directory
Try
find ./MyDir/MySubdir/ -name "2016_01_*"
find /MyDir/MySubDir -name "2016_01_*"
This will do
find /MyDir/MySubDir/ -name "2016_01_*"
test,
~$ find ./market/public/static/ -name *.js
./market/public/static/view3dview.js
./market/public/static/ng-file-upload.min.js
./market/public/static/codemirror-min.js
./market/public/static/model_upload_app.js
I have a folder of images.
the folder looks like below:
dir/
--image1.png
--image1_600x600.png
--image1_1200x1200.png
--image2.png
--image2_600x600.png
How do I delete all files that have the 'x' character leaving only the original ones?
thanks
You can use find:
find dir -name '*x*' -delete
Matching any x in the file name
# rm *x*
Matching only the x between digits
# rm *[0-9]x[0-9]*
Both of these presume the shell of course. If you are using a graphical file manager, you can hold down the Ctrl key as you click on each one you want to delete (Edit -> Delete in Thunar)
As i have a serous sever performance warning with installing drupal-commons (this is a installation-profile) i now want to reduce the server load.
Why - i get a message when trying to install drupal commons: Too-many-files-open it says!
Well Drupal & modules (ab)uses too many files! 50,000 maximum files and maybe 5000 directories is their goal and that si what they only backup so its in
So my question: How can i get rid of all those silly translation files or whatever for tiny miny parts of info and
unnecesary subdivisions; How i can get rid of them!
Background: I would expect that file_exists() during the installation(or bootstrap-cycle) is the most expensive built-in PHP function measured as total time spent calling the function for all invocations in a single request.
Well now i try to get rid of all the overhead (especially of the translation-files that are so called - po-files) - and unnecessary files that are contained in the drupal-commons 6.x-2.3 in order to get it runnning on my server.
i want to get rid all those silly translation files or whatever for tiny miny parts of info and unnecesary subdivisions;
How to search for all those .po-files recursivly - with GREP i guess ..
Note: i do not now where they are!

linux-vi17:/home/martin/web_technik/drupal/commons_3_jan_12/commons-6.x-2.3/commons-6.x-2.3 # grep .po
Any way i want to remove all .po files with one bash command - is this possible
but wait: first of all - i want to find out all the files - and the ni want to list it:
- since i then know what i rease (/or remove)
Well - all language translations in Drupal are named with .po -
how to find them with GREP?
How to list them - and subsequently - how to erase them!?
update:
i did the search with
find -type f -name "*.po"
. well i found approx 930 files.
afterwards i did remove all them with
6.x-2.3 # find -type f -name "*.po" -exec rm -f {} \;
a final serach with that code
find -type f -name "*.po"
gave no results back so every po-file was erased!
manym many thanks for the hints.
greetings

If you want to find all files named *.po in a directory named /some/directory, you can use find:
find /some/directory -type f -name "*.po"
If you want to delete them all in a row (you do have backups, don't you?), then append an action to this command:
find /some/directory -type f -name "*.po" -exec rm -f {} \;
Replace /some/directory with the appropriate value and you should be set.
The issue with "too many open files" isn't normally because there are too many files in the filesystem, but because there is a limitation to the amount of files an application or user can have open at one time. This issue has been covered on drupal forums, for example, see this thread to solve it more permanently/nicely:
http://drupal.org/node/474152
