Try something like this: for i in `seq 1 20`; do mkdir -p “folder$i”; find . -type f -maxdepth 1 | head -n 2000 | xargs -i mv “{}” “folder$i”; done Full script version: #!/bin/bash dir_size=2000 dir_name=”folder” n=$((`find . -maxdepth 1 -type f | wc -l`/$dir_size+1)) for i in `seq 1 $n`; do mkdir -p … Read more
With BSD xargs (for OS X and FreeBSD), you can use -J which was built for this: find . -name some_pattern -print0 | xargs -0 -J % mv % target_location That would move anything matching some_pattern in . to target_location With GNU xargs (for Linux and Cygwin), use -I instead: find . -name some_pattern -print0 … Read more
Use a combination of shuf and xargs (it’s a good idea to look at their documentation with man): shuf -n 10 -e * | xargs -i mv {} path-to-new-folder The command above selects 10 random files of the current folder (the * part) and then move them to the new folder. Update Although longer, one … Read more
You can do mv car.txt bicycle.txt vehicle/ (Note that the / above is unnecessary, I include it merely to ensure that vehicle is a directory.) You can test this as follows: cd #Move to home directory mkdir temp #Make a temporary directory touch a b c d #Make test (empty) files (‘touch’ also updates the … Read more
If your source directory is set in quotes, then make sure that the * is outside the quotes, i.e. cp “source/”* dest or cp “source”/* dest
Let’s talk about how wildcards work for a minute. cp *.txt foo doesn’t actually invoke cp with an argument *.txt, if any files matching that glob exist. Instead, it runs something like this: cp a.txt b.txt c.txt foo Similarly, something like mv *.txt *.old …can’t possibly know what to do, because when it’s invoked, what … Read more
You should write @Controller(“/review”) public class ReviewController { and @Controller(“/book”) public class BookController { because in your code you have the two methods without an explicit/unique path for mapping(eg. if we have a call /edit/1 , this is impossible clearly to determine a controller’s method from your editBook BookController or ReviewController editReview)
Adding to Eric Jablow’s answer, here is a possible solution (it worked for me – linux mint 14 /nadia) find /path/to/search/ -type f -name “glob-to-find-files” | xargs cp -t /target/path/ You can refer to “How can I use xargs to copy files that have spaces and quotes in their names?” as well.
To rewrite the history with the files moved: If you want the project’s history to look as though all files have always been in the directory foo/bar, then you need to do a little surgery. Use git filter-branch with the “tree filter” to rewrite the commits so that anywhere foo/bar doesn’t exist, it is created … Read more
Lets’s assume the dir structure is like, |parent |–child1 |–child2 |–grandChild1 |–grandChild2 |–grandChild3 |–grandChild4 |–grandChild5 |–grandChild6 And we need to move files so that it would appear like, |parent |–child1 | |–grandChild1 | |–grandChild2 | |–grandChild3 | |–grandChild4 | |–grandChild5 | |–grandChild6 |–child2 In this case, you need to exclude two directories child1 and child2, … Read more
