December 7, 20187 yr Hey, i use the following script to move 2 extentions into a f older. Now i found out, that i need mkv also moved. Quote #!/bin/bash FROM_DIR=/mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme TO_DIR=/mnt/user/downloads/DVDR FILES="$(find "$FROM_DIR" -iname '*.iso' -or -iname '*.img')" for FILES in $FILES; do DIR="$(basename "$(dirname "$FILES")")" mkdir -p "$TO_DIR"/"$DIR" mv "$FILES" "$TO_DIR"/"$DIR" done i tried: Quote #!/bin/bash FROM_DIR=/mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme TO_DIR=/mnt/user/downloads/DVDR FILES="$(find "$FROM_DIR" -iname '*.iso' -or -iname '*.img' -or -iname '*.mkv')" for FILES in $FILES; do DIR="$(basename "$(dirname "$FILES")")" mkdir -p "$TO_DIR"/"$DIR" mv "$FILES" "$TO_DIR"/"$DIR" done but that dont work... mv: cannot stat '/mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme/name(62+63)': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'name': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'name1': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'name2': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'DTS': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat '5.1': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'MKV': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'h264': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat '1080p': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'German': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'by': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'name4': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat '-': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat '5,39': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'GB/name.mkv': No such file or directory find: `/mnt/user/downloads/DVDR/Filme': No such file or directory find: `/mnt/user/downloads/DVDR/GB': No such file or directory I dont know how i can extent the list with ".mkv", i guess -or only takes 2 values, but how to do multiple?

Find can do multiples, but you need to wrap it with escaped parentheses for more than two "-or" operators. I haven't tried it with your script so don't know how it interacts with the other variables and parentheses. I think it should work though. find /mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme \( -iname '*.iso' -or -iname '*.img' -or -iname '*.mkv' \) So the actual script would look like this (again, I haven't tested it, try it on a test directory/files first!): #!/bin/bash FROM_DIR=/mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme TO_DIR=/mnt/user/downloads/DVDR FILES="$(find "$FROM_DIR" \( -iname '*.iso' -or -iname '*.img' -or -iname '*.mkv' \))" for FILES in $FILES; do DIR="$(basename "$(dirname "$FILES")")" mkdir -p "$TO_DIR"/"$DIR" mv "$FILES" "$TO_DIR"/"$DIR" done Alternatively, you could use find with regex instead of "-or" operators, might be easier if you have lots of extensions to add: FILES="$(find "$FROM_DIR" -regextype posix-egrep -regex '.*\.(iso|img|mkv)$')"
December 10, 20187 yr Author Hi thank youi for your help, sadly its not working: 1. script mv: cannot stat '/mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme/name(62+63)': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'name': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'name': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat '2002': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'DTS': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat '5.1': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'MKV': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'h264': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat '1080p': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'German': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'by': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'name+22.PAR2': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat '-': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat '5,39': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'GB/name.mkv': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat '/mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme/name': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'franky007': No such file or directory dirname: invalid option -- '/' Try 'dirname --help' for more information. mv: invalid option -- '/' Try 'mv --help' for more information. mv: cannot stat '/mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme/name': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'name': No such file or directory dirname: invalid option -- '/' Try 'dirname --help' for more information. mv: invalid option -- '/' Try 'mv --help' for more information. mv: cannot stat '/mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme/name': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'franky007/name.mkv': No such file or directory find: `/mnt/user/downloads/DVDR/Filme': No such file or directory find: `/mnt/user/downloads/DVDR/GB': No such file or directory find: `/mnt/user/downloads/DVDR/franky007': No such file or directory 2. has similiar output I think its the syntax: root@Unraid-Server:~# find /dir/Filme -regextype posix-egrep -regex '.*\.(iso|img|mkv)$')-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `)' root@Unraid-Server:~# find /dir/Filme -regextype posix-egrep -regex '.*\.(iso|img|mkv)$' /mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme/name.mkv /mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme/name1.mkv /mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme/name3.mkv /mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme/name4.mkv Edited December 10, 20187 yr by nuhll
December 10, 20187 yr Author I tested both now, they work and give the directory + filename. I guess it needs to be " " ' ' or something because it takes every part as path instead of the whole line, you know what i mean? like it takes from this/is/a/dir it does it for /this/ and /is/ and /a/ and /dir/ instead of "/this/is/a/dir" btw, thats all of that script, it just needs to put DVDR files into the automatic folder for transcoding to normal files. Thats why its important that it keeps the /DIRECTORYNAME/FILENAME ...^^ Edited December 10, 20187 yr by nuhll
December 10, 20187 yr Yeah, I’m out of my depth here, but I think you’re right that you need to enclose the path with double quotes somewhere. Although it looks like the script is doing that already. Just to confirm I understood your use case correctly. You want the script to:1. identify all files with a certain extension in the source directory2. create a sub-directory in the source directory with the name of the found file3. move the file into the new sub-directoryFor step 1, are the files always in the root of the source directory? Or are they buried in multiple levels of sub folders?If they are in sub-folders, you don’t want that folder structure replicated?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 10, 20187 yr Author 1. yes. How its archived i dont care. But i need the files with the extention "XXX", "XXX2", "XXX3" with parent folder moved to another path The current script reads the current parent directory and then creates it in the "OUTPUT directory" SOURCEDIRECTORY/MOVIENAME/MOVIENAME.MKV -> OUTPUT/MOVIENAME/MOVIENAME.MKV thats all how thats archived i dont care 😆 Thank you for all your help so far! .... could it be that the last find command didnt print out the exact directory.. and the new command does that? Because then, the whole basename thing and so on is complete useless and double Edited December 10, 20187 yr by nuhll

Because then, the whole basename thing and so on is complete useless and double 2 Maybe, but I don't think so. To test, run these two commands and compare the output: find "/mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme" -iname '*.iso' -or -iname '*.img' find "/mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme" \( -iname '*.iso' -or -iname '*.img' -or -iname '*.mkv' \)
December 11, 20187 yr Ok, the two find commands return identical lists, so that's not it. The problem is this: The $FILES list is using spaces as delimiters, which is also used in the "for in do" loop This only works as long as none of the paths in the list contains spaces If they do, you get the errors you are seeing. Your original script have the same problem, so I guess you must have never run it over files containing spaces before? One fix is to use find -exec instead of a "for in do" loop on the find result. I'm not skilled enough to write that though, but here are some hints if you want to give it a crack: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/301039/how-can-i-escape-white-space-in-a-bash-loop-list Another way to achieve the same thing is to use rsync instead of find. The drawback is that this is actually a copy-then-delete operation, so will be slower than using mv. This script should work for you: #!/bin/bash FROM_DIR="/mnt/user/downloads/completed/Filme" TO_DIR="/mnt/user/downloads/DVDR" rsync -ar --include '*/' --include '*.iso' --include '*.img' --include '*.mkv' --exclude '*' --remove-source-files --prune-empty-dirs --progress "$FROM_DIR/" "$TO_DIR" find "$FROM_DIR/" -depth -empty -type d -delete # This removes empty directories in the source directory Folder structure before running the script in my test (I used slightly different paths compared to you): downloads/ ├── DVDR └── completed ├── movie with spaces │ └── movie with spaces.iso ├── movie1 │ └── movie1.iso ├── movie2 │ └── movie2.img ├── movie3 │ └── movie3.mkv ├── movie4 │ └── movie4.avi ├── movie5.avi └── movie6.mkv And after running the script: downloads/ ├── DVDR │ ├── movie with spaces │ │ └── movie with spaces.iso │ ├── movie1 │ │ └── movie1.iso │ ├── movie2 │ │ └── movie2.img │ ├── movie3 │ │ └── movie3.mkv │ └── movie6.mkv └── completed ├── movie4 │ └── movie4.avi └── movie5.avi You can see that it has moved all .iso. img. and .mkv files, while leaving .avi in place, and retaining the folder sturcutre form the source directory. Note that movie6.mkv was in the root of the source directory, and therefore ended up in the root of the destination DVDR folder. The script only retains existing parent folders, it doesn't create new ones. Hope that works for you.
December 11, 20187 yr Author I dont care how long it takes, its only running one time a day... and its not many DVDR files anyway thesedays... THANK YOU SO MUCH, ill try that! Until now seems to work fine, ill report back! Edited December 11, 20187 yr by nuhll
December 12, 20187 yr Author Okay, it works wonderfull, thanks. Sadly radarr and sonarr wont pick it autoamtic, id ont know why, but thats better then before atleast...
