I have a little script to create a directory listing
You can use it like
./createDiectoryListing.sh SOME_DIRECTORY
It will create a index.html show the list of the file, Here is an example
But i found sometime the file's date modified attribute changed to the time i ran the script.
In my script, i just use md5sum to caculate the hash of the file, I never change the content.
It's really annoying, all the file has the same modified date,after i ran the script
I don't know why, anyone can help me out thanks.
Okay. I figured it out. the reason is i use git to manage the file. when switch between branches, the date attribute is changed.

I'm talking to a server that creates a new zip file daily, ex: (data-1234.zip). Every day the name of the previous zip is removed and a new one is created with an incremented number, ex: (data-1235.zip). The script will be run sporadically throughout the week but it's on a lab system where the user can't manually update the name with what's on the server.
The server only has one zip file in that directory, it's just a matter of getting the correct naming convention. There is, however a "data.ini" file in the folder as well, so something just searching by first name wouldn't necessarily work. I've seen posts similar to This question using regex but the file is currently on 10,609 and I'd rather not use expansion for potentially thousands of calls depending on access to modify the script in the coming years. I've been searching for something similar to "data-*.zip" but haven't had any luck.
Question was solved by changing commands and running
lftp https://download.companyname.com/product/data/ -e "mget data-*.zip; bye"
since lftp allows wildcards in the filename, unlike curl.
I have a question about touching a path in a shell script. I'm making a script that clears some directories and add some files, now I'm trying to do this with touch /name/of/path instead of a find. I have some troubles with one of the paths this is becaus the last bit of the name changes in every file (the files are about working orders) now I tried some stuff like a variable or just the path with a * but it gives me an error
can anyone tell me if i need to change my variable for example.
the variable im currently using:
test='path/to/touch/annoy\ ing\ space*/'
and in my code I would like to execute this like
touch $test/test.txt
the error I get when running this is
touch: invalid option --'\'
I guess i get this option because there are \ in the varriabe but that is because there are spaces in the directory name I'm trying to enter.
I also tried something like this
touch path/to/touch/annoy\ ing\ space*/test.txt
but I also get an error when I try it like this, I read this is because I use a wildcard in touch and that isn't allowed. Can anyone confirm this?
If someone could give me an example or tip how to do this it would realy help me out. thanks in advance
I am using the latest version of pyRevit, v45.
I'm writing some info in temporary files with
myTempFile = script.get_instance_data_file("id")
This creates a file named pyRevit_2018_xxxx_id.tmp in which I store useful info. If I'm not mistaken, the "xxxx" part is changing every time I reload Revit. Now, I need to get access to this information from another pyRevit script.
How can I retrieve the name of the temp file I need to read? In other words, how do I access "myTempFile" from within the second script, which has no idea of the name of "myTempFile"?
I guess I can share somehow that variable between my script, but what's the proper way to do this? I know this must be a very basic programming question, but I'm indeed not a programmer ;)
Thanks a lot,
Arnaud.
Ok, I realise now that my variables in the 1st script cease to exist after its execution.
So for now I wrote the file name in another file, of which I know the name.. That works.
But if there's a cleaner way to do this, I'd be glad to learn ;)

pyrevit.script module provides 4 different methods for creating temporary files based on their use case:
get_instance_data_file:
for data files marked with Revit instance pid. This means that scripts running on another instance will not see this temp file.
http://pyrevit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pyrevit/script.html#pyrevit.script.get_instance_data_file
get_universal_data_file:
for temp files accessible to all Revit instances and versions
http://pyrevit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pyrevit/script.html#pyrevit.script.get_universal_data_file
get_data_file:
Base method to get a standard temp file for current revit version
http://pyrevit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pyrevit/script.html#pyrevit.script.get_data_file
get_document_data_file:
temp file marked with active document (so scripts working on another document will not see this)
http://pyrevit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pyrevit/script.html#pyrevit.script.get_document_data_file
Each method uses a pattern to create the temp file name. So as long as the call to the method is the same of different scripts, the method generates the same file name.
Example:
Script 1:
from pyrevit import script
tfile = script.get_data_file('mydata')
Script 2:
from pyrevit import script
tempfile = script.get_data_file('mydata')
In this example tempfile = tfile since the file id is the same.
There is documentation on each so make sure you take a look at those and pick the flavor that serves your purpose.
For one of my Project, I have a certain challenge where I need to take all the reports generated in a certain path, I want this to be an automated process in "Linux". I know the way how to get the file names which have been updated in the past 120 mins, but not the files directly. Now my requirements are in such a way
Take a certain files that have been updated in past 120 mins from the path
/source/folder/which/contains/files
Now do some bussiness logic on this generated files which i can take care of
Move this files to
/destination/folder/where/files/should/go
I know how to achieve #2 and #3 but not sure of #1. Can someone help me how can i achieve this.
Thanks in Advance.
Write a shell script. Sample below. I haven't provided the commands to get the actual list of file names as you said you know how to do that.
#!/bin/sh
files=<my file list>
for file in $files; do
cp $file <destination_dirctory>
done
During my Grunt tasks, add a unique string to the end of my filenames. I have tried grunt-contrib-copy and grunt-filerev. Neither have been able to do what I need them to...
Currently my LESS files are automatically compiled on 'save' in Sublime Text 3 (so this does not yet occur in my grunt tasks). Then, I open my terminal and run 'grunt', which concatenates (combines) my JS files. After this is done, then grunt should rename 'dist/css/main.css' and 'dist/js/main.js' with a "version" at the end of the filename.
I have tried:
grunt-contrib-copy ('clean:expired' deletes the concatenated JS before grunt-contrib-copy' can rename the file)
grunt-filerev ('This only worked on the CSS files for some reason, and it inserted the version number BEFORE the '.css'. Not sure why it didn't work on the JS files.')
Here's my Gruntfile.js
So, to be clear, I am not asking for "code review" I simply need to know how I can incorporate a "rename" process so that when the tasks are complete, I will have 'dist/css/main.css12345 & dist/js/main.js12345' with no 'dist/css/main.css' or 'dist/js/main.js' left in their respective directories.
Thanks in advance for any help!
UPDATE: After experimenting with this, I ended up using grunt-contrib-rename and it works great! I beleieve the same results can be achieved via grunt-contrib-copy, in fact I know it does the same thing. So either will work. As far as support for regex, not sure if both support it, so may be something else worth looking into before choosing one of these plugins :)
Your rename:dist looks like it should do what you want, you just need to move clean:dist to be the first task that runs (so it deletes things from the prior build rather than the current build). The order of tasks is defined by the array on this last line:
grunt.registerTask('default', ['jshint:dev', 'concat:dist', 'less:dist', 'csslint:dist', 'uglify:dist', 'cssmin:dist', 'clean:dist', 'rename:dist']);
That said, I'm not sure why you want this behavior. The more common thing to do is to insert a hash of the file into the filename before the file extension.
The difference between a hash and a timestamp is that the hash value will always be the same so long as the file contents don't change - so if you only change one file, the compiled output for just that file will be different and thus browsers only need to re-downloaded that one file while using cached versions of every other file.
The difference between putting this number before the file extension and after the extension is that a lot of tools (like your IDE) have behavior that changes based on the extension.
For this more standard goal, there are tons of ways to accomplish it but one of the more common is to combine grunt-filerev with grunt-usemin which will create properly named files and also update your HTML file(s) to reference these new file names
I'm not sure to understand completely what end you want, but if you add a var timestamp = new Date().getTime(); at the beginning of your gruntfile and concatenate to your dest param that should do the job.
dest: 'dist/js/main.min.js' + timestamp
Is it what your looking for?
