\section{Remove Part of a Filename from Multiple Files}
|
|
|
|
\lettrine{S}{ome} applications can produce files that are similarly named, and for whatever reason, you want to remove the repetitive bits. You can use the \texttt{mmv}\index{mmv} package to do this. Assume you have a list of files that all start with ``foo'':
|
|
|
|
\begin{Verbatim}[]
|
|
foo143.txt
|
|
fooabi.txt
|
|
foo38r.txt
|
|
\end{Verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\lettrine{T}{his} can also be accomplished by using the \textbf{rename}\index{rename} command.
|
|
|
|
\section{Obtain a List of Files and their Paths}
|
|
|
|
\lettrine{T}{he} \texttt{find} command has options to obtain this list. To obtain this list with the full path, use:
|
|
|
|
\input{bits/find_PWD}
|
|
|
|
To obtain this list with a relative path, use:
|
|
|
|
\begin{Verbatim}[]
|
|
find .
|
|
\end{Verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\ktcbox{Sometimes you need a list of files with their filepaths, and these tools will do that. Unfortunately, Linux does not have a way to put the file first, so the way to do this is to redirect \texttt{stdout} to a \texttt{.csv} file and manipulate the output in a spreadsheet.} |
