[SOLVED] Name and details of file needed

riteshanand40 · 04-29-2010, 05:49 AM

Hi,

I have a file structure say in form of
/usr/local/a/ab/abc/abcd/abcd56365245128481284

there are millions of files arranged in such form .
I need only (ls -l) details of the individual files eg: abcd56365245128481284.

I tried ls -lRt /usr/local , but output file need very much editing to get required info in one file.

Can anybody help please!!

Regards,
Ritesh Anand

Hi,

File name is different for all files.
Some examples:
h/ho/hoe/hoex/hoex0A2F822B01278BB82C8708AC
d/dj/djp/djpi/djpi0A2F822B01278BB82C87429F
k/ki/kid/kidj/kidj0A2F822B0127BD6B5EEE68B6
x/xj/xjr/xjrl/xjrl0A2F822B0127BD7AFC1DB935
v/vh/vhk/vhkk/vhkk0A2F822B0127DCC0F4864893
z/zi/zij/zijz/zijz0A2F822B01281534DC20F206

I need ls -l info for the files only.

How do you know which files you want the ls -l output for?

riteshanand40 · 04-29-2010, 06:27 AM

The files are arranged in the alphabetical order as shown above.

first 4 letter of file constitute the path
eg for file "hoex0A2F822B01278BB82C8708AC"
path is /usr/local/data/h/ho/hoe/hoex/hoex0A2F822B01278BB82C8708AC

I need ls -l info for the all the files only.

You mean you want ls -l for all the files under <some directory> or do you mean only for the ones where the first 4 letters are the same as the name of the directory they are in?

riteshanand40 · 04-29-2010, 06:36 AM

No i want ls -l info in a file for all such files.

find /usr/local/data -type f -ls

Do you want the directory information stripped of and ignore directories?

ls -lR /usr/local/data | grep '^-'

This assumes you want to ignore links and device files as well.

That is an odd way to by organize files since
/usr/local/data/hoex/hoex0A2F822B01278BB82C8708AC
/usr/local/data/djpi/djpi0A2F822B01278BB82C87429F
etc., would result in the same number files per directory.

Which we cannot tell you how to do until you define "such files" to us. Until then we are only guessing.
