First one :
We found several files and we have to copy that to kat4 and here is code, but it doesn't seem to work corectly
find /home/imk-prac/ -type f -size -13c -name '*\?plik\?*' -exec cp {} /home/inf-19/aduda/\*kat1\*/\*kat2\*/\*kat4\*/ \; 2> /dev/null
'cp' I assume that it is copy, but I don't know what 'exec' and '{}' do.
Second one:
find /home/imk-prac/ \( -type f -size -13c -name '*\?plik\?*' \) -o\( -type d -name '\[Kolo1\]*' \)2> /dev/null
Generally,I understand this line (except for '2' and '-o') , but I want to add looking for files which were modificated in less that 30 days and here is what I wanted to combine with upper command :
find /home/imk-prac/ -type f -mtime -30 -exec ls -l {} \; > /dev/null
As a result I wrote it down as:
find /home/imk-prac/ \( -type f -size -13c -name '*\?plik\?' -mtime -30 -exec ls -l{}\) -o \( -type d -name '\[Kolo1\]*' \) 2> /dev/null
but it doesn't work
Moreover, I wanted to add looking for files with speciefied quantity of symbols and I found this command:
grep -Po '(^|\s)\S{64}(\s|$)' file
But I have no idea how to combine all of those 3 upper commands.
I will be grateful for any help, thank you for your time!
I'm creating a cron job, that will find all *.log* files (it will be used to remove them later, when it works).
The find command looks like this:
find /data/dg \( -path /data/dg/kf/data -o -path /data/dg/pg/data \) -prune -o -name "*.log*" -type f
And it should find all files with name ".log" that are not in directories /data/dg/kf/data and /data/dg/pg/data
However the output this command gives contains also the directories.
...
/data/dg/kf/log/controller.log.2019-09-08-22
/data/dg/kf/log/server.log.2019-09-09-07
/data/dg/kf/data
/data/dg/pg/log/postgresql-2019-09-27_000000.log
/data/dg/pg/log/postgresql-2019-09-27_100859.log
/data/dg/pg/log/postgresql-2019-09-27_102411.log
/data/dg/pg/data
/data/dg/sim/log/sim_2019-09-27-11.0.log
/data/dg/sim/log/sim_2019-09-27-12.0.log
...
It seems that -type f doesn't work. What's wrong?
put -type f right after /data/dg
find /data/dg -type f -not -path "/data/dg/kf/data*" -not -path "/data/dg/pg/data*" -name "*.log*"
I need to search for multiple pattern of files and check their mtime and if it morethan 30 days then delete all the files. I am using the below command but it's deleting only one pattern of file and not all. Kindly let me know where is the mistake in my command.
find /root -type f \( -name "*.tgz" -o -name "*.bz2" \) -mtime +30 -print -exec rm '{}' +
Try escaping parentheses in the command and adding a wildcard character:
find /root -type f \( -name "*.tgz" -o -name "*.bz2" \) -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \+
I have a source directory with several files. Some of them are symlinks to other files.
I created a cscope.files file. But when I execute cscope. It complains for the files that are symlinks:
cscope: cannot find file /home/bla/source/file.cc
I think it's not very good, but maybe the correct way to go is to change the "find" script, to just write the destination of the symlink instead?
Currently I'm using:
# Write only the files which are NOT symlinks
find `pwd` \( \( -iname "*.c" -o -iname "*.cc" -o -iname "*.h" \) -and \( -not -type l \) \) -print > cscope.files
# Add the target of the symlink for all files matching the right extension, and are symlinks
find `pwd` \( \( -iname "*.c" -o -iname "*.cc" -o -iname "*.h" \) -and -type l \) -printf "%l\n" >> cscope.files
But this seems like a terrible solution. Still looking for a better one
I think you can use the command to find all real paths in a folder that you searched
find -L [your searched folder] -name [your searched pattern] -exec realpath {} \; >> cscope.files
For example, if I would like to add developed folder and linux kernel header to cscope.files, I will the these commands:
find -L `pwd` -iname "*.c" -o -iname "*.h" > cscope.files
find -L /usr/src/linux-headers-3.19.0-15-generic/ -iname '*.h' -exec realpath {} \; >> cscope.files
I hope the answer can help you.
For example if you want to give / as your path for cscope, and want cscope to search files with extensions .c/.h/.x/.s/.S you can give the find command as:
find / -type f -name "*.[chxsS]" -print -exec readlink -f {} \;> cscope.files
This will include regular files, including targets of symbolic links.
I just do the following to avoid symbolic links, as well get the absolute path in the cscope.files. With absolute path you can search from any directory in your sandbox when cscope is integrated with the vim editor
find /"path-to-your-sandbox" -path .git -prune -o -name "*.[ch]" -exec readlink -f {} \; > cscope.files
Note: if you omit -print from the find it does not put the symbolic link path in your cscope.files only the resolved path.
Better in a bash script:
#!/bin/bash
#
# find_cscope_files.sh
extension_list=(c cpp cxx cc h hpp hxx hh)
for x in "${extension_list[#]}"; do
find . -name "*.$x" -print -exec readlink -f {} \;
done
For reference for others I'm currently using.
find "$(pwd)" \( -name "*.[chCS]" -o -name "*.[ch][ci]" -o -name "*.[ch]pp" -o -name "*.[ch]++" -o -name "*.[ch]xx" ) -not \( -ipath "*unittest*" -or -ipath "*regress*" \) \( \( -type l -xtype f -exec readlink -f {} \; \) -o \( -type f -print \) \) >cscope.files
cscope -q -R -b -i cscope.files
I'm using this command to go through all files, directories and subdirectories to change any mentions of oldurl.com to newurl.org:
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec sed -i 's|oldurl.com|newurl.org|g' {} +
It works fine, however, I need to exclude three sub-directories from ANY CHANGES: /cache, /archive and /etc as changing the urls with the above command in these paths breaks other scripts.
Haven't had much luck finding an answer... Is it even possible?
Many thanks for any suggestions/help.
Use finds -not Option:
find . -type f -name '*.php' -not \( -path './etc/*' -o -path './cache/*' -o -path './archive/*' \) -exec sed -i 's|oldurl.com|newurl.org|g' {} \;
