Bash script to make 100 directory recursively with different names..

meet10may · 08-09-2011, 07:04 AM

Hi,
In some data processing task, i need to rearrange my data.I have my raw data in a directory(eg. c:/Data).The data is present in different directories like (eg C:/Data/Data1,C:/Data/Data2,C:/Data/Data3..).I have 100's of such data.I need to keep the processed data in (D:/New_Data) with respective names of the raw data(eg. D:/New_Data/Data1 will contain processed data from C:/Data/Data1 and D:/New_Data/Data2 will contain processed data from C:/Data/Data2 and so on..).I need to make a bash script so that it automatically creates new empty directories in the D:/New_data with similar names as in C:/Data, so that i only need to specify the path of processed data. Please help me out with such Bash script.

Thanks

Not sure if that will work with bash but if you use cmd scripts:

Code:

@echo off
pushd C:\Data
if not exist D:\New_Data\nul mkdir D:\New_Data
for /f "delims==" %%a in ('dir /b/ad/oen') do if not exist "D:\New_Data\%%a\nul" mkdir "D:\New_Data\%%a"
popd

Try this in bash:

Code:

cd /path/to/olddir
find . -type d -exec mkdir -p /full/path/to/newdir'{}' \;
