Get a filename only list of files in a folder

SheldonNo Comments

To get a list of all files in a folder without path, you can use the following snippet: $> find ../PATH/TO/FOLDER/TO/LIST/FILES/FROM -type f -printf “%f\n” Example result: 5ed8d879-9203-4c26-afe4-4eee702ffcc7.ttf 25h-icons.woff 6ab1eb08-75f2-4c1a-9911-2752e3fd6ec9.woff ada6576a-cbce-4da0-994b-b4719f95ac06.eot dc80306d-6b3e-422b-85c3-bad65f5446d4.woff 1791f364-9061-4459-a14d-0b188cfd7193.woff2 fb754dec-aa8f-444c-be48-868464c47ab0.woff 20988062-bfc8-4c30-9306-8053b179b381.eot 79de9df8-0826-46b9-beea-eb39122d4762.woff2 087e5c21-3358-4cf3-9d2c-289a03a48292.eot 7869ff0a-c18f-4ce1-bf07-fbf5b7172b66.ttf c932b9cc-bd91-4ee0-889b-302d53093448.woff2 c9fa0fce-5615-4509-af40-370a4032df9a.woff2 08bae5d9-f7bd-4e7f-8446-be05a16cc9e6.ttf 56ce7ab2-c49f-4aa1-85ce-f1823fc02355.woff bedf9150-5659-4119-9640-0f16e67d82b9.woff2 9131f395-46ef-4940-8480-8ff008c42e59.woff 77fac51a-d062-438a-a493-6b67508aa97f.woff bb8422a9-7303-4111-8be4-7de2f583aaf3.woff2 746ffa4d-bd68-4487-bb7a-0c90d07c6533.woff2 5fdc935e-9e30-442a-bbe9-8d887b858471.woff 616c4c87-a077-43f4-a9f4-f01267c13818.ttf 084ad33e-9248-40f7-b5ce-1d9dee2809c4.eot d399cbfa-b9be-47ac-983c-3600c2684bb2.ttf 295ff20c-2b48-4fa6-be92-a53bbf9bbbb4.ttf 25h-icons.ttf 2f8b7d6e-428d-4cc1-a456-712fc6aa2123.woff2 9322b01d-540d-464b-8990-dcbfa6a03ce8.eot […]

Split webm files into chunks on Linux

SheldonNo Comments

Today I had to split webm files into chunks on Linux.  The reason was, that I recorded  a screencast for a documentary. Therefore I used the Nimbus Chrome Browser Plugin (https://nimbus.everhelper.me/screenshot.php). The problem was, that the resulting video files in webm format were much to big to upload them to our Confluence Wiki. That’s why […]

Formatted CSV output on Linux shell

SheldonNo Comments

If you want to output a CSV file on Linux shell, you could just open it with less, cat or nano (un-formatted CSV output): $> less mydummyfile.csv $> cat mydummyfile.csv $> nano mydummyfile.csv The problem with this approach is, that you will get an unformatted ugly chunk of characters like that: A much better way is it, […]

Convert linefeeds for all files in a folder (CRLF to LF)

SheldonNo Comments

If you are working in teams using different operating systems, it could happen, that you get files with unsuitable linefeeds in it. For me as a Linux user the bad guys are normally CRLF’s (Carriage Return and Line Feed @see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline). To just convert the CRLF’s in a single file to LF you can use the […]

Deleting multiple lines with nano

SheldonNo Comments

Here is the way I cut out multiple lines, whole paragraphs or also huge text blocks with nano (Xubuntu 14.04, MacOS X 10.9.5). Open file in nano: $> nano -c textFileToEdit.txt -c shows line-numbers. Alternatively you can press […]
