Any decent shell scripters in the house?

I have a directory 'x' that I need to to move all .jpg's from and put them into another folder. The directory 'x' has many other folders inside of it so this will need to be a recursive string. Who can help? I'll throw you a bone via paypal or something if needed.

if you can run a php script to do it i could help you out (i generally use php instead of sh for most shell scripts anyway, so i'm pretty rusty on actual sh scripting)

I think that is very simple to do without a script unless i don't understand what you want.

HorseShit

I probably could use a php script

directory 'x' has many sub directories within it each with multiple .jpg's

I basically want to move (or copy if needed) all .jpg's from within these sub directories into one directory 'y' so that 'y' contains all .jpg's from 'x' and it's sub directories.

just tried to hit you on icq, i can help you out, just have a few quick questions

scriptdog

05-15-2008 08:35 AM

hello, i can do that, just explain me..

you have a tree where you want to take all jpgs out and put it where?

i just need that you can run a php, if you have a webserver in that machine is very easy to do, if not we just have to download a php and unzip it in any folder

this is gonna be close

find (top level directory) / -name *.jpg -print | mv (new directory)

that should start you that may recreate the structure of the original dir ( i dont remember for sure)

if so you can put it in a for x in loop something like this

for x in `ls -1 -r (top level directory)/*.jpg`
do
mv x (newdirectory)/.
done

ScriptWorkz

05-15-2008 08:38 AM

do you want jpg's in subdirectories of x to show up in corresponding subdirectories in y or just in the top level y folder?

HorseShit

05-15-2008 08:40 AM

I don't want it to create any sub directories in 'y' just dump ALL jpg's from 'x' and recursive directories

PHP Code:


		
			
#!/usr/bin/php
<?
// set $base_dir to the source dir, and $dest_dir to where you want files moved too, include trailing /
$base_dir = "/source/dir/";
$dest_dir = "/dest/dir/";

// function for recursion
function process_dir($dir) {
    global $dest_dir;
    
    $d = opendir($dir);
    
    while (($f = readdir($d)) !== FALSE) {
        if (strcmp($f, ".") && strcmp($f, "..")) {
            if (is_dir($dir . $f)) {
                process_dir($dir . $f);
            } else if (is_file($dir . $f)) {
                $tmp = explode(".", $f);
                $ext = strtolower($tmp[(count($tmp) - 1)]);
            
                if (!strcmp($ext, "jpg") || !strcmp($ext, "jpeg")) {
                    // to copy files
                    copy($dir . $f, $dest_dir . $f);
                
                    // uncomment to move files instead, comment above
                    // rename($dir . $f, $dest_dir . $f)
                }
            }
        }
    }
    
    closedir($d);
}

process_dir($base_dir);
?>

i didn't test it, but if you save that as say move-pics.php and chmod it +x then ./move-pics.php it should do the trick. if you want files moved instead of copied, look at the comments and comment the copy line out and remove the commenting on the rename line. you also need to make sure the shebang at the top points to your php binary and the $base_dir and $dest_dir variables are set to your x and y directories respectively.

EDIT: just saw mike souths post, as a shell script that'd probably work a little easier then mine, atleast you have a backup.

thanks for the suggestions. what about this, i realize it's for copying and not moving

find $SRC -iname '*.jpg' -exec cp '{}' ${DEST}/ \;

mikesouth

05-15-2008 08:52 AM

yes thats for copying not moving...I gave you a for...do loop that will do what you want

its a shell script

I would prefer to have it not overwrite files with the same name but that gets more complicated

not really just add a counter variable in the loop and append it to the filename

my shell scripting is a tad rusty and I dont have man pages here but
a=0
for x in `ls -1 -r (top level directory)/*.jpg`
do
a++
mv $x (newdirectory)/$x$a.jpg
done

will be on the right track though you may have to snip out the first .jpg with a substr command if that gives you .jpg twice (and I think it will) Im flying by the seat of my pants here but you get the gist yer on a UNIX system (or derivative) use man pages for substr for the syntax

man substr

this might work:

for i in `find <directory> -type d`; do cp *.jpg $i; done

HorseShit

OK people $50 to the first person that gives me this script. I think mikesouth is closest to what I'm looking for but it needs to be a script that doesn't need me hacking it to get it working. I would prefer not to have a php script, just a plain old bash one like Mike is proposing. It must not rewrite other .jpgs with the same name but instead rename the file names incrementally if it spots duplicates.

save the code below into a file call it whatever you like and run it like so
python nameofscript.py foldertoprocess
-------------------------------

PHP Code:


		
			
import os, os.path, sys



destdir = "/destdir"



os.system( "mkdir " + destdir )



for root, dirs, files in os.walk( sys.argv[1]  ):

    for name in files:

            name = os.path.join(root, name)

            command = "mv \"" + name + "\" \"" + destdir + "\""

            os.system( command )

Have you tested it out? Will it dump all .jpg files into ONE directory 'y' without overwriting existing files with the same name?

Pretty sure this does what you want in Bash, try it out

Hi Justin.

Oh, incidentally, this should actually do what you want without being quite so obnoxious. I don't trust having a 'smart' shell; just basic utilities that have been in UNIX since the 70s.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

FROMDIR=SET_BASEDIR_FOR_MOVE_FROM_HERE

TODIR=SET_DIR_TO_COPY_IT_TO_HERE

FILETYPE=jpg

APPENDSTART=1

for n in `find $FROMDIR -name \*.$FILETYPE -print`; do

   FILE=`basename "$n"`

   if [ -f "$TODIR/$FILE" ]; then

     while [ $APPENDSTART -le 100 ]; do

       APPENDSTART=`expr $APPENDSTART + 1`

       if [ ! -f "$TODIR/$APPENDSTART$FILE" ]; then

         FILE="$APPENDSTART$FILE"

         break;

       fi

     done

   fi

   echo "Moving '$n' to '$TODIR/$FILE'."

   mv "$n" "$TODIR/$FILE"

done
