bash script for managing database
Posted on 2008-10-16
Hi folks,
I have two questions here:
(First question) basically I have a bunch of files
1.txt 2.txt 3.txt ... 100.txt and each of them is some results of
calculation done with a parameter "N".
1.txt is done with N=0.99, 2.txt is done with N=0.97, 3.txt is done
with N=0.9 4.txt is done with N=0.89...
As you can see, the filenames are named according to the sort of
parameter N. The relation is recorded in a file called ./summary:
1 0.99
2 0.97
3 0.9
4 0.89
...
...
Now I am generating a file with N=0.98 in the very same folder. I
want to rename all the files such that the filename still represents
the order of N, besides, I also want to update ./summary so the new N--
filename relation is updated.
(Namely, I want the new ./summary file to be
1 0.99
2 0.98
3 0.97
4 0.9
5 0.89)
(Second question)
In some other folders I have 1.gif 2.gif 3.gif .... x.gif (x differs from case to case),
and I am about to generate yet another
gif file. The newly generated gif file is always named "new.gif"
This time I simply want bash to find the biggest number "x" of the
files, and rename my new.gif to $((x+1)).gif.
What shall I do?

file add_new_N.sh (see code snippet below)
and now you just call 'bash add_new_N.sh'
about the second question :
for f in `dir *.gif`; do N=`cut -d'.' -f1`; done
echo $N.gif
and now you just call 'bash add_new_N.sh'
about the second question :
for f in `dir *.gif`; do N=`cut -d'.' -f1`; done
echo $N.gif
#!/bin/bash
N=$1
echo "rm -f summary.txt"
for f in `dir *.txt | sed s/summary.txt//`; do
F=`cat $f | grep 'N=' | sed 's/N=//'`;
S=`echo $f | cut -d'.' -f1`
if [ $(echo "$F > $N" | bc) -eq 0 ]; then
echo mv $f $(($(echo $f | cut -d'.' -f1)+1)).txt;
echo "echo '$(($S+1)) $F' >> summary.txt"
elif [ $(echo "$F == $N" | bc) -eq 0 ]; then
echo mv $f $(($S+1)).txt;
echo "echo '$(($S+1)) $F' >> summary.txt"
echo "echo 'N=$N' > $f";
echo "echo '$S $N' >> summary.txt"
fi;
echo "tac summary.txt > summary.txt"
done
of course, you have to remove all the 'echo' from the beginning of the commands statements, remove surrounding "" quotes and change '' inner quotes to ""
ie:
ie:
#!/bin/bash
N=$1
rm -f summary.txt
for f in `dir *.txt | sed s/summary.txt//`; do
F=`cat $f | grep 'N=' | sed 's/N=//'`;
S=`echo $f | cut -d'.' -f1`
if [ $(echo "$F > $N" | bc) -eq 0 ]; then
mv $f $(($(echo $f | cut -d'.' -f1)+1)).txt;
echo "$(($S+1)) $F" >> summary.txt
elif [ $(echo "$F == $N" | bc) -eq 0 ]; then
mv $f $(($S+1)).txt;
echo "$(($S+1)) $F" >> summary.txt
echo "N=$N" > $f;
echo "$S $N" >> summary.txt
fi;
echo "tac summary.txt > summary.txt"
done
