i need to recognize files with different extensions even when there is a combination of multiple extensions
so if my cwd has this files:
file-1 .zip
file-2 .tar
file-3 .tar.gz
file-4 .gz
file-5 .zip.tar
file-6 .tar.gz
file-7 .gz
i need to tell bash what to do when the extension (in this case) is:
zip
tar
zip.tar
tar.gz
gz
because for every extension i need to do different things, this implies that if the extension is .tar (only) or .gz (only) i need to do certain things, but if the extension is .tar.gz i need to run another snippet.
example:
if the filename has .tar extension i need to do
# stuff
tar xf filename.tar
# other stuff
if the filename has .zip.tar extension i need to run more complex code (but the code is not totally dependent on the extensions, my only objective is to get the full extension of the filename (filename.tar.gz should return .tar.gz instead of .gz or .tar)
Also, is there any way using gawk?
Use case:
case "$filename" in
*.tar.gz) code for .tar.gz ;;
*.gz) code for .gz ;;
*.zip.tar) code for .zip.tar ;;
*.tar) code for .tar ;;
...
esac
Just make sure you put the combined extensions before the single extensions that they contain, because case executes the statements for the first pattern that matches.
The file command is a good option to detect file types, then you can write a logic
file -i test.*
test.gz: application/x-gzip; charset=binary
test.tar: application/x-tar; charset=binary
test.tar.gz: application/x-gzip; charset=binary
test.zip: application/zip; charset=binary

I have a directory where there are files -:
abc_002.txt
abc_003.txt
abc_004.txt
abc_005.txt
xyz_001.txt
for_ex.sh
abc_001.txt
I want to gzip only files starting with names abc, like abc*.
for file in abc*.txt
do
gzip $file
done
I am trying to write a bash script that takes a .cmpr compressed file and uncompress it.
I've tried running the following command in the shell to see if it works -
uncompress file.cmpr
but the file is not being uncompressed and I get the following message -
gzip: file.cmpr: unknown suffix -- ignored
I want to use the 'uncompress' command as specified in here -
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/uncompress.1p.html
how do I fix this? how to I add support for '.cmpr' files on my machine? or is it something else
uncompress expects files to have a .Z suffix. Rename it to file.Z and then run either uncompress file.Z or uncompress file—either one works.
Considering the file named:
foo.tar.bz2
What is the file extension? Is it .tar.bz2 or .bz2? Is it well defined?
Edit: The question here is one of the definition of a "file extension", or where the separation is between the file's name and its extension: is it "foo|.tar.bz2" or "foo.tar|.bz2"
The standard file extension would be .tar.bz2, but .tbz2 should suffice as a shortened extension.
tar - is archive file
bz2 - is compressed with bzip
to unarchive and get all files you should type in command line unix:
tar jxf foo.tar.bz2
after that you will have files unarchived and extracted
extension is the last one .bz2
I have list of gzip files:
file1.gz
file2.gz
file3.gz
Is there a way to concatenate or gzipping these files into one gzip file
without having to decompress them?
In practice we will use this in a web database (CGI). Where the web will receive
a query from user and list out all the files based on the query and present them
in a batch file back to the user.
With gzip files, you can simply concatenate the files together, like so:
cat file1.gz file2.gz file3.gz > allfiles.gz
Per the gzip RFC,
A gzip file consists of a series of "members" (compressed data sets). [...] The members simply appear one after another in the file, with no additional information before, between, or after them.
Note that this is not exactly the same as building a single gzip file of the concatenated data; among other things, all of the original filenames are preserved. However, gunzip seems to handle it as equivalent to a concatenation.
Since existing tools generally ignore the filename headers for the additional members, it's not easily possible to extract individual files from the result. If you want this to be possible, build a ZIP file instead. ZIP and GZIP both use the DEFLATE algorithm for the actual compression (ZIP supports some other compression algorithms as well as an option - method 8 is the one that corresponds to GZIP's compression); the difference is in the metadata format. Since the metadata is uncompressed, it's simple enough to strip off the gzip headers and tack on ZIP file headers and a central directory record instead. Refer to the gzip format specification and the ZIP format specification.
Here is what man 1 gzip says about your requirement.
Multiple compressed files can be concatenated. In this case, gunzip will extract all members at once. For example:
gzip -c file1 > foo.gz
gzip -c file2 >> foo.gz
Then
gunzip -c foo
is equivalent to
cat file1 file2
Needless to say, file1 can be replaced by file1.gz.
You must notice this:
gunzip will extract all members at once
So to get all members individually, you will have to use something additional or write, if you wish to do so.
However, this is also addressed in man page.
If you wish to create a single archive file with multiple members so that members can later be extracted independently, use an archiver such as tar or zip. GNU tar supports the -z option to invoke gzip transparently. gzip is designed as a complement to tar, not as a replacement.
Just use cat. It is very fast (0.2 seconds for 500 MB for me)
cat *gz > final
mv final final.gz
You can then read the output with zcat to make sure it's pretty:
zcat final.gz
I tried the other answer of 'gz -c' but I ended up with garbage when using already gzipped files as input (I guess it double compressed them).
PV:
Better yet, if you have it, 'pv' instead of cat:
pv *gz > final
mv final final.gz
This gives you a progress bar as it works, but does the same thing as cat.
You can create a tar file of these files and then gzip the tar file to create the new gzip file
tar -cvf newcombined.tar file1.gz file2.gz file3.gz
gzip newcombined.tar
tl;dr version:
Is it possible with CMake (>= 2.8) to generate zip files from some files and put the packed zip file in a specific location?
longer version:
I have a CMakeLists.txt that builds my project into a .exe file, and this exe file will read data from a zip file. The content to be packed in the zip file is in my git repository so that it can be edited, too. But, the program needs this data in a zip file. So it would be good if the CMake script could take the data, put it in a zip file, and place it next to the exe. I already heard of CPack, but I did not find any easy examples and am not sure if this is even the right tool for my task.
Is this possible? If yes, how?
Since version 3.2 CMake has the functionality to generate a zip file built-in. The CMake command-line mode sub-command tar supports both the creation of zip and 7zip archives.
For example, if the current CMake source directory contains the file testfile.txt and the directory testdir, you can use the following CMake commands to create a zip file containing both items:
add_custom_target(create_zip COMMAND
${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E tar "cfv" "archive.zip" --format=zip
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/testfile.txt"
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/testdir")
As a work-around for earlier CMake versions, you can use the jar command that is part of a standard Java JRE installation.
find_package(Java)
execute_process(
COMMAND
"${Java_JAR_EXECUTABLE}" "cfM" "archive.zip"
"-C" "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}" "testfile.txt"
"-C" "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}" "testdir"
RESULT_VARIABLE _result
)
The zip file will be generated in the current CMake binary dir (CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR).
It's never late to show real answer:
function(create_zip output_file input_files working_dir)
add_custom_command(
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E tar "cf" "${output_file}" --format=zip -- ${input_files}
WORKING_DIRECTORY "${working_dir}"
OUTPUT "${output_file}"
DEPENDS ${input_files}
COMMENT "Zipping to ${output_file}."
)
endfunction()
Use like
file(GLOB ZIP_FILES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/zip/*")
create_zip("${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/native_data.zip" "${ZIP_FILES}" "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/zip")
This will pack all files from zip/ subdirectory into native_data.zip (in build directory). Then either include your archive (path will differ in different CMakeLists.txt!) as source file or add it as target:
add_custom_target("project-data" ALL DEPENDS "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/native_data.zip")
Install will not differ a lot from usual:
install(FILES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/native_data.zip" DESTINATION ${DATADIR} RENAME "data000.zip") # Install our zip (as data000.zip)
I assume you already have a zip-tool installed (WinZip or 7z, etc.). You could write a find_zip-tool script which will search for WinZip, or 7Z, etc...
Snippet for WinZip:
FIND_PROGRAM(ZIP_EXECUTABLE wzzip PATHS "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/WinZip")
IF(ZIP_EXECUTABLE)
SET(ZIP_COMMAND "\"${ZIP_EXECUTABLE}\" -P \"<ARCHIVE>\" #<FILELIST>")
ENDIF(ZIP_EXECUTABLE)
Snippet for 7-zip:
FIND_PROGRAM(ZIP_EXECUTABLE 7z PATHS "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/7-Zip")
IF(ZIP_EXECUTABLE)
SET(ZIP_COMMAND "\"${ZIP_EXECUTABLE}\" a -tzip \"<ARCHIVE>\" #<FILELIST>")
ENDIF(ZIP_EXECUTABLE)
Take a look at the file
<cmake-install-dir>\share\cmake-2.8\Modules\CPackZIP.cmake
it shows how CPack searches for a Zip_Executable and prepares some "useful" default flags.
After that, I would suggest to execute_process, similar to sakra's answer
As of version 3.18, CMake now directly supports creating zip or archive files using the file() command with ARCHIVE_CREATE:
file(ARCHIVE_CREATE OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/MyData.zip
PATHS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/data
FORMAT zip
)
Be sure to specify a full path for the OUTPUT zipped filename, or the file may not be generated. Also, the PATHS option accepts files or directories to be placed in the zip file, but it does not accept wildcards at the time of writing.
This command supports several archive formats and compression flavors. So, you can use the same command to create tarballs as well:
file(ARCHIVE_CREATE OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/MyData.tar.gz
PATHS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/data
FORMAT gnutar
COMPRESSION GZip
)
Since this is the top search result for creating zip files with CMake, here is a CPack solution for completeness. The basic idea is that you make calls to install() and then tell it what to name the resulting zip file. It will be placed in the build directory, though there may be a way to change that. Then you can create the zip file with make package or cpack.
# Version 1: Subtractive
# Include everything in the project source directory.
# Put it at the top level of the zip via `DESTINATION .`
# Subtract things we don't want.
# The trailing slash after "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/" prevents
# an extra layer of directories.
install(DIRECTORY "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/"
DESTINATION .
PATTERN ".git*" EXCLUDE
PATTERN ".DS_Store" EXCLUDE
PATTERN "examples" EXCLUDE
PATTERN "docs" EXCLUDE
PATTERN "README.md" EXCLUDE
)
# Version 2: Additive
# Include only the list of things we specify.
# Put it at the top level of the zip via `DESTINATION .`
# install(FILES
# ${SRCS}
# "Notes.txt"
# DESTINATION .
# )
# Tell CPack to create a zip file.
set(CPACK_GENERATOR "ZIP")
# Tell CPack what to name the zip file. It will append `.zip`.
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME "${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}")
# Tell CPack not to put everything inside an enclosing directory.
set(CPACK_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY OFF)
# Apparently this should be always on but isn't for backwards compatibility.
set(CPACK_VERBATIM_VARIABLES YES)
include(CPack)
Essentially what I did was create custom target
add_custom_target(STAGE_FILES)
With this target I copy the files and directories to the CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR
add_custom_command(
TARGET STAGE_FILES
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_directory ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/assets/video ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/video
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_directory ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/assets/data ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/data
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/assets/strings_en.csv ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/assets/strings_rules_en.csv ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E tar "cfv" "data.zip" --format=zip --files-from=${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/assets/to_zip.txt
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E remove_directory ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/data
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E rename ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/data.zip ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/data
)
The important line
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E tar "cfv" "data.zip" --format=zip --files-from=${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/assets/to_zip.txt
inside my
to_zip.txt
I specify all the files I want to include in my zip
data/
video/
...
I can now execute the command
make STAGE_FILES
which will copy and zip everything i need
