I create this code that find for me all files that I have in folders, but I need that code to show me a full name of txt files (only txt) that string I insert there.
For example:
I insert "Alex"
and it searching for all txt files that I have, and if it find it will give me a full name of txt file (example: "redme.txt")
What I need to change in my code?
this my code:
the question in the link below may give you the idea
How to get the first file with a .txt extension in a directory with nodejs?
First, try to get all files in a directory. Then, Sort out the .txt extensions. Next, compare the filename to the given string in the argument.

Is there a loop I can use to create .xlsx files from .bracken files I currently have and channel them into an output folder?
All that I have now is to convert my .bracken files into .xlsx files using this code cat MG-ABCD12345-0.genus.bracken > MG-ABCD12345-0_genus_bracken.xlsx and files are going into my current working directory. I would like the output in a folder called bracken_excel_files which is located within my current working directory. I would prefer to use common commands such as for for the loop for easier understanding.
bracken appears to be generating/sharing the same output format as kraken, which I saw somewhere to be tab-delimited fields.
If that is true, then that is the essence of what CSV files are.
In that case, you don't need to use the "cat" command (CPU and I/O consuming). You simply need to rename the file with a ".csv" suffix (to make the file format explicitly visible for others), then import that into Excel or OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc. Each of those tools offer different options for interpreting the input when you use the "Import" function to open the files.
I'm fairly new to bash scripting and linux, and I have a folders with just dates such as
2012-11-20
2012-11-21
2012-11-22
2012-11-23
and I have files with the name data_11202012_randomnumbers_csv.
I would like to create a script that can move every single csv file to it's correct folder by matching the date on the file to the folder.
I've been just typing mv file path but i have 100s of files and I'm wondering if theres an easier way.
Any help would be appreciated.
The following should do it for you. I will explain with comments
for file in your_folder/*; do
# 1. Extract the numbers from the file name
dir="${file#data_}" # remove data_ prefix
dir="${dir%%_*}" # remove everything after first _
# 2. Rearrange the numbers into the desired format
dir="${dir:2:4}-${dir:0:2}-${dir:6:2}"
# 3. Move the file into the directory
mv file dir
done
Here you have a very useful bash cheatsheet where you can learn more about it. It illustrates all the variable expansions I've made in my snippet and more.
I am trying to download only certain files from a folder. The folder contains thousands of files named:
z_cams_c_ecmf_20160904000000_prod_fc_sfc_120_duaod550.nc
z_cams_c_ecmf_20160904000000_prod_fc_sfc_120_gtco3.grib
z_cams_c_ecmf_20160904000000_prod_fc_sfc_000_aod550.nc
etc.etc.
I only want those that end in duaod550.nc and aod550.nc
Is there a way to isolate this string from the filename? Unfortunately I cannot use the .nc because there are other files that have this extention and I don't need them.
Looks like what you need to do is use the a wildcard in the ftp command in matlab. From the help
mget(ftpobj,contents) retrieves the file or folder specified by contents from an FTP server into the MATLAB® current folder.
contents --
Character vector enclosed in single quotation marks that specifies either a file name or a folder name. Can include a wildcard character (*).
filelist=mget(ftpobj, '*duaod550*')
filelist=mget(ftpobj, '*aod550*')
So, I'm incredibly new to LiveCode and I have an external file in the same directory as the .livecode file called 'words.txt', with english words, each on a new line. I plan to read this file into a variable and then pick a random word from that variable. However, I am stumped as to how I must find the file path and insert this into the syntax required for me to do this. My code is as follows:
put url ("binfile:" & filePathGoesHere) into dictionary
replace crlf with lf in dictionary
replace numToChar(13) with lf in dictionary
put any line of dictionary into randomword
The file path is supposed to be inserted into the code at filePathGoesHere. Once the program is compiled I will be moving it and its resources around a bit (from computer to computer), so, beyond the text file staying in the same folder as the compiled program, the file path will change. What extra code would I need to add to make this work, if the folder the compiled program and the txt file is in is called "MyProgram"?
Help is much appreciated, and if further specification is required I can provide it. I also have a folder called "resources" if moving it there can help.
If the stack you're building is for your own use, you can place external files anywhere, but if you're going to deliver your stack to other users, you need plan where you external files are going to be placed, and how.
An easy way to determine the path to a file that sits immediately outside your stack is using the stack's filename:
put the fileName of this stack into theFilePath
set the itemDel to "/"
put "words.txt" into the last item of theFilePath
Now theFilePath variable will an absolute path reference to your external file. If the file is placed inside a folder "TextFiles" you can do this:
put the fileName of this stack into theFilePath
set the itemDel to "/"
put "TextFiles/words.txt" into the last item of theFilePath
If you're going to deliver your stack to other people, you should write your external file/s into a common system folder, or you need to use an installer to define where your files/folders will be placed. Common folder paths are found using the specialFolderPath function:
put specialFolderPath("Documents") into the theFolderPath
A somewhat recent addition to LiveCode is a "Resources" folder -- specialFolderPath("Resources") -- which can be handy for delivering on desktop and mobile platforms. Also, keep in mind that few of these folders allow writing to existing files contained in them for security reasons. "Preferences" and "Documents" are two examples of folders where you can change the contents of files.
The LC dictionary contains details of each of the folders.
If you use the file: scheme instead of bindle: LiveCode will automatically convert end of line characters to LF, so that step may not be necessary. (Although you might need it if you are reading a text file produced in native Windows encoding on a Mac.) You don't even necessarily need to read it into a variable. You could do this:
put any line of URL ("file:" & specialFolderPath("resources") & "/words.txt") \
into tRandomWord
Does anyone know if it is possible to get the name of files inside a rar/zip without having to unrar/unzip the file.. and if yes, is there a way to block it or make difficult..
Thanks
The file names in a zip file are visible even if the data is encrypted. If you want to hide the names, the easy solution is to zip the zip file encrypted.
Later versions of PKZip do have an option to encrypt the file names as well with –cd=encrypt. (cd means central directory.)
The -l flag to unzip(1) does just that:
-l
list archive files (short format). The names, uncompressed file sizes and modification dates and times of the specified files are printed, along with totals for all files specified.
unrar(1) has the l option:
l
List archive content.
