http://www.unix.com – Hi, I have been working on a punch of codes and I got to a problem I hope to get help on. I have some files that I want to work with but the folder has other files in it. For example: The folder contains these files: Code: path to files : /home/distribution/ Code: ls : b.10; b.11; b.12; b.20; b.222; b.1111; b.212 Each of these files have elements within it i.e, they are not empty. I want to select the files (also with their content) that start with the following lines in another file, then send to another folder: Code: path to file : /home/distribution/filen (HowTos)

Example: PMExtra_A123_ABC_121001020000.zip PMExtra_B596_GRT_121001020000.zip PMExtra_C156_SFD_121001020000.zip PMExtra_S243_KDF_121001020000.xml PMExtra_L234_IDF_121001020000.xml I have to unzip all the .zip files and load into the same folder and remove the .zip files.

I have a folder in my server which contains some files. These are automated that means everyday we get new files automatically which will overwrite the old ones. So want to take a back up for this data. How can i copy all these files in to a another folder by renaming the files with current date while copying.

ex : i have a folder named folder1 which contains 4 files.

I use this code to delete all files:

File root = new File("root path"); File[] Files = root.listFiles(); if(Files != null) { int j; for(j = 0; j < Files.length; j++) { System.out.println(Files[j].getAbsolutePath()); System.out.println(Files[j].delete()); } }

I have a huge amount of data in which each (data-)line should be unique.

There are a lot of files in one folder in which this is already true. It is about 15GB splitted into roughly 170 files with 1000000 lines. Let's call that folder foo.

Now there is a second folder (bar) with even more data: In each file, there are no multiple entries.

I was distro hopping for awhile in the past few months, so in order to keep all of my files secure, I made a partition of around 50 GB named Files to store all of my files in, and still have them for quick and easy access.
