I am consolidating my photo collection from multiple directories into one big folder. I am using the command

find /home/(A) -type f -exec cp {} /home/ (B)/ \;

to extract all the pictures in the multiple folders in parent folder (A) into the single folder (B). This appears to work very well, after the command has run (B) just contains jpeg files, no files within sub directories.

I noticed that most of my photos are missing.... :mad:

So I went into my home folder and clicked File -> Restore Missing Files (I had kept a Deja Dup backup). It came up with a few files, but only ones from the Home directory itself, not the folders inside it. If I open Pictures -> Photos and click Restore Missing Files I get a file (actually a folder) called "2011".

I am new to unix. This is the first time I am trying work with an external library(Ogre3D) on a Mac. I do not want to dump all of the .lylib files in into the /usr/lib directory since I might want to delete these files once I do not need them and it's hard to differentiate them form other library files.

Long story short, i just accidentally deleted my entire home folder. Thankfully it seems like the hidden files are still there.

I'm not sure, but aren't all of the folders within the home folder (Desktop, Downloads and whatever else is in there) empty by default?

I amm moving stuff out of a file Server. I am using DFS for that - the Folders are anyway in a DFS tree, so I can set up a replication temporarily, then drop the old Folder. Works nice, EXCEPT for the Folder containing the users home drives. Which, incidentally, is also the one I can not see all files in due to my permissions.

Small Setup.

I'd like to find all of the files in my home folder on Linux (Ubuntu, in this case) that contain a match a particular regular expression. Is there a simple Unix command that I can use in order to do this?

For example, I'd like to find all of the files in my home folder that contain a match of the following regex (here, using Javascript-style notation): ((R|r)eading(T|t)est(D|d)ata)

hi,

i have a directory at Code: /path/unix with the following files

Code: 1.txt 2.txt 3.txt 4.txt I want to make another file called Code: filenames.txt at a different location called /path/home.

I am just a beginner with Unix and so my skills in Unix commands is limited.

Hi

I have some manga that are scanned as jpg files. This is a little difficult to explain...So I have the title folder and several other folders in that folder for each volume. When I transfer the title folder onto my tablet only the folders at the end of the directory, or those that only have the jpg files and NOT other folders show up.
