Remove empty files, empty folders and git folders(USE WITH CAUTION):

find . -empty -type f -print -delete
find . -empty -type d -print -delete

find . \( -name ".git" -o -name ".gitignore" -o -name ".gitmodules" -o -name ".gitattributes" \) -exec rm -rf -- {} +

Recursivley Remove Folders by Name

find . -name 'node_modules' -type d -prune -exec rm -rf '{}' +


find . -name '.vscode' -type d -prune -exec rm -rf '{}' +

REMOVE DUPLICATE LINES:

2.)find and delete all empty directories()===>

find . -empty -type d -print -delete

3.)Find and delete all empty files()===>

find . -empty -type f -print -delete

4.)Recursive-unzip:()===>

find . -name "*.zip" | while read filename; do unzip -o -d "dirname "$filename"" "$filename"; done;

find . -name "*desktop.ini" -type f -print -delete

find . -name "*.zip" -type f -print -delete

add extension to every file in folder

for f in * ; do mv "$f" "$f.html" done

find . -type f -exec mv '{}' '{}'.html ;

for f in * ; do mv "$f" "$f.css" done

Recursivley Create numbered folders: n=1; max=50; while [ "$n" -le "$max" ]; do mkdir "s$n" n=expr "$n" + 1; done

Command Line: Rename all files in current directory to a certain file extension: forfiles /S /M * /C "cmd /c rename @file @fname.js" forfiles /S /M * /C "cmd /c rename @file @fname.html"

The following command would rename all *.txt files to *.doc.

$ rename 's/.txt$/.doc/' *.txt

$ rename 's/.example$/.sql/' *.example rename 's/.js.download$/.js/' *.js.download

rename 's/.html.tmp$/.html/' *.html.tmp

find ./ -iname "*.md" -type f -exec sh -c 'pandoc "${0}" -o "${0%.md}.html"' {} ;

Recursivley list every single file in the working directory... 1 per line:

ls -R ./ | awk ' /:$/&&f{s=$0;f=0} /:$/&&!f{sub(/:$/,"");s=$0;f=1;next} NF&&f{ print s"/"$0 }'

write-to-txt-file

ls -R ./ | awk ' /:$/&&f{s=$0;f=0} /:$/&&!f{sub(/:$/,"");s=$0;f=1;next} NF&&f{ print s"/"$0 }'

--------for only html-files------------------------------------------------------------------------------

find ./ | grep -i ".html*$"

forfiles /S /M *.File /C "cmd /c rename @file @fname.js"

Replace the string source with target in all files in the current directory and all sub-directories:

find . -type f -exec rename 's/source/target/' {} ; Replace the string source with target in all directories in the current directory and all sub-directories:

find . -type d -exec rename 's/source/target/' {} ;

I use this one-liner to remove invalid characters in subtitle files:

for f in *.srt; do nf=$(echo "$f" |sed -e 's/[^A-Za-z0-9.-]/./g;s/..././g;s/.././g'); test "$f" != "$nf" && mv "$f" "$nf" && echo "$nf"; done Only process *.srt files( * could be used in place of *.srt to process every file) Removes all other characters except for letters A-Za-z, numbers 0-9, periods ".", and dash's "-" Removes possible double or triple periods Checks to see if the file name needs changing If true, it renames the file with the mv command, then outputs the changes it made with the echo command It works to normalize directory names of movies:

for f in /; do nf=$(echo "$f" |sed -e 's/[^A-Za-z0-9.]/./g' -e 's/..././g' -e 's/.././g' -e 's/.$//'); test "$f" != "$nf" && mv "$f" "$nf" && echo "$nf"; done

To remove any number of trailing spaces from file names you can use rename (prename) :

rename 's/ *$//' *

This shell script sanitizes a directory recursively, to make files portable between Linux/Windows and FAT/NTFS/exFAT. It removes control characters, /:*?"<>| and some reserved Windows names like COM0.

sanitize() { shopt -s extglob;

filename=$(basename "$1") directory=$(dirname "$1")

filename_clean=$(echo "$filename" | sed -e 's/[\/:*?"<>|\x01-\x1F\x7F]//g' -e 's/^(nul|prn|con|lpt[0-9]|com[0-9]|aux)(.|$)//i' -e 's/^.*$//' -e 's/^$/NONAME/')

if (test "$filename" != "$filename_clean") then mv -v "$1" "$directory/$filename_clean" fi }

export -f sanitize

sanitize_dir() { find "$1" -depth -exec bash -c 'sanitize "$0"' {} ; }

sanitize_dir '/path/to/somewhere'
