LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Script to move duplicate files

Due to reasons too boring and embarrassing to relate I have lots of duplicate files. I found this script on line

Code:

find -not -empty -type f -printf "%s\n" | sort -rn | uniq -d | xargs -I{} -n1 find -type f -size {}c -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | sort | uniq -w32 --all-repeated=separate| cut -f3-100 -d ' ' | tr '\n.' '\t.' | sed 's/\t\t/\n/g' | cut -f2-100 | tr '\t' '\n' | perl -i -pe 's/([ (){}-])/\\$1/g' | perl -i -pe 's/'\''/\\'\''/g' | xargs -pr rm -v

rm -v ./test2.txt ?...y

However my natural caution means that I want to copy them t

I tried

Code:

find -not -empty -type f -printf "%s\n" | sort -rn | uniq -d | xargs -I{} -n1 find -type f -size {}c -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | sort | uniq -w32 --all-repeated=separate| cut -f3-100 -d ' ' | tr '\n.' '\t.' | sed 's/\t\t/\n/g' | cut -f2-100 | tr '\t' '\n' | perl -i -pe 's/([ (){}-])/\\$1/g' | perl -i -pe 's/'\''/\\'\''/g' | xargs -pr rm -v

rm -v ./test2.txt ?...y

but I got

Code:

mv: cannot overwrite non-directory `./test2.txt' with directory `duplicates/'

Solved it I needed to put the full path to the duplicate directory!!!
