I have a file with below file names with the directory list
cat /tmp/fileList.tmp
A/B/C
A/B/C/D
A/B/C/D/E.txt
A/B/C/D/E.txt
A/B/C1
A/B/C1/D/E1.txt
A/B/C1/D/E2.txt
A/B/C1/D/E2.txt
I don't know you produced the file list, but if you can reproduce by going through a directory structure, if you use a find command such as this:
Code:
find . \! -type d
it will exclude directories, or:
Code:
find . -type f
will only include "files".
With the list you have now, as a Human, how do you recognize a non-directory? Do all files have extensions? If so, then could use a pattern such as:
Code:
(.+)\.(.+)$
to match one or more characters followed by a literal dot followed by one or more characters, at the end of the line, and so match only non-directories.

This file list is generated by the FishEye query to get the SVN change set of a JIRA ticket. query output has the SVN file path and the directory path, need to get rid of the DIR paths.
The problem is this file list is generated by the FishEye query to get the SVN change set of a JIRA ticket. query output has the SVN full file path and the directory path(as two entries), need to get rid of the DIR paths. I am not reading this from a file, trying to filter from the query command it self by piping.
above highlighted are the only three files and other lines are duplicate entries and and the directories, for some wired reason Fish-eye treat the directories and a another file and displays it in the query output.
What I'm trying to accomplish here is write automated script to merge the SVN changes from one branch to another by referring a JIRA ticket.
Now if I am not mistaken, this has neither removed duplicates nor listing only files?
Quote:
can we use some string filtering,
I do not see how any string filtering or manipulation will help as you have no way of telling the difference between files and directories.
Your own example is flawed in the fact that only a visual look at the data can let you know what is a file or directory:

Not only will a file always contain a dir path but so will the directory??
Below is how it worked...parse.pl contains the Perl code, by combining the awk I was able to removed all the duplicates and the Directories...
Well I think it is important to note for people who might search and find this solution that it works incorrectly on the assumption that the longest match for the same path
will end in a file name. An easy example, if we assume that directory blah is as follows:
