So I have a script that goes through files in a folder and will rename them to odd and even numbers.
My Issue is I have allot of sub folders and it renames them to when I don't want to modify folder names but I do want to modify files inside the sub folders.
How can I achieve this ?
#!/bin/bash
export FILE_PATH="/path1/path2/path3/"
export even=0
export odd=-1
for file in /path1/path2/path3/*; do
mv "$file" $FILE_PATH$(echo "$file" | sed -e 's/[^A-Za-z0-9.]/_/g');
done
for f in /path1/path2/path3/*; do
sum=$(sha1sum "$f" | awk '{print $1}');
if [[ "$sum" != 3c72363260a32992c3ab2e3a5e9b8cf082e02b2c ]]; then
even=$((even+2));
echo $FILE_PATH"even_"$even".mp4";
mv "$f" $FILE_PATH""$even".mp4";
else
odd=$((odd+2));
echo $FILE_PATH"odd_"$odd".mp4";
mv "$f" $FILE_PATH""$odd".mp4";
fi;
done
Currently my directory layout is this.
/path1/path2/path3/random_folder_name/20.mp4
But the script keeps outputting this.
/path1/path2/path3/1/20.mp4
And I don't want my folder path modified just the mp4 renamed inside.
In each of the for loops the first thing you could do is check if the file in question really is a file or a directory, and react accordingly, eg:
for file in /path1/path2/path3/*; do
[[ -d "${file}" ]] && continue # if it's a directory then skip to next pass through for loop
mv "$file" ...
... snip ...
done
# and
for f in /path1/path2/path3/*; do # if it's a directory then skip to next pass through for loop
[[ -d "${f}" ]] && continue
sum= ...
... snip ...
done
NOTE: I'd suggest reviewing the man pages for bash for other tests as needed (eg, do you need to worry about symlinks? do you need to worry about executable files? do you need to worry about binary files?, etc)
As for the separate issue of processing the files in a subdirectory ... see Nic3500's comment about using find -type f ... to provide a list of files at all directory levels; keep in mind this will require a redesign of your overall process (eg, replacing the 2x for loops with a single while loop).
