Make a list?

[sam_roberts30]

Is there anyway to make a list of files that are in a share?

 

I want to get a list of every movie in the movie share and short of manually writing 2000+ file named out in a txt file I don't know how to do it...

 

Any one got a solution they care to share?

I use indexyourfiles on my Windows laptop.

I second "Index Your Files". I point it to each one of my disk shares across both my servers, it makes it so easy to track exactly where each movie is.

Can you the,n print off the list of files?

Export to excel, clipboard, copy functions.

I use this;  (All my movies are .iso,.ISO,.avi, or .AVI files and in a user share named "Movies")

 

find /mnt/user/Movies \( -name *.iso -o -name *.ISO -o -name *.avi -o -name *.AVI \) -print | cut -c18- |

sed -e "s/_/ /g" -e "s/\.ISO$//" -e "s/\.iso$//" -e "s/\.avi$//" -e "s/\.AVI$//" |

sort -f | tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]" | /boot/capitalize > /boot/dvd_list.txt

 

/boot/capitalize looks like this:  (where [  -] = [space tab-]

#! /bin/sed -f

 

s/^/ /

s/\([  -]\)a/\1A/g

s/\([  -]\)b/\1B/g

s/\([  -]\)c/\1C/g

s/\([  -]\)d/\1D/g

s/\([  -]\)e/\1E/g

s/\([  -]\)f/\1F/g

s/\([  -]\)g/\1G/g

s/\([  -]\)h/\1H/g

s/\([  -]\)i/\1I/g

s/\([  -]\)j/\1J/g

s/\([  -]\)k/\1K/g

s/\([  -]\)l/\1L/g

s/\([  -]\)m/\1M/g

s/\([  -]\)n/\1N/g

s/\([  -]\)o/\1O/g

s/\([  -]\)p/\1P/g

s/\([  -]\)q/\1Q/g

s/\([  -]\)r/\1R/g

s/\([  -]\)s/\1S/g

s/\([  -]\)t/\1T/g

s/\([  -]\)u/\1U/g

s/\([  -]\)v/\1V/g

s/\([  -]\)w/\1W/g

s/\([  -]\)x/\1X/g

s/\([  -]\)y/\1Y/g

s/\([  -]\)z/\1Z/g

s/^.//

Joe. Sunds interesting. All my movies are in vob folders. Could your method be used to find the folder names and list the folder names?

[jowi]

find /mnt/user/Movies \( -name *.iso -o -name *.ISO -o -name *.avi -o -name *.AVI \) -print | cut -c18- |

sed -e "s/_/ /g" -e "s/\.ISO$//" -e "s/\.iso$//" -e "s/\.avi$//" -e "s/\.AVI$//" |

sort -f | tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]" | /boot/capitalize > /boot/dvd_list.txt

Never ask a programmer for a simple solution

I did have a little smile when I saw the post. Took some working out but I think I get it.

I like Joes, you could set it to run daily or weekly via cron to keep an up to date list automagically, and keeps the solution on the server(big plus for me, I do not like having to use one pc to do something on another, but that's a personal quirk)

 

Joe, I challenge you to add mediainfo to your script to print the video and audio types

 

Ok, that challenge is because it would save me from figuring it out, , you can ignore it,

I was cleaning out my work computer and found another one that seems to have a few more options than indexyourfiles

 

directorylistprintpro

 

looks nice.
