Brett brings up a good point here. I think all of the above have had lowercase L's in them, but it looks like an uppercase i. Copy and paste solves this problem, but you could then run into the issue of all on one line problems. I'm sorry I didn't specify that. All of my above command should be run on one line and the RFl is AR-EF-el.

For this to work, I think you need to add the '-l' (lowercase L) option to grep such that it only prints *names* of files with matching lines instead of every matching line in the file. And, to avoid seeing lots of errors with moving directories with multiple matching files, add a test to the dirname to see that it exists before trying to move it. Something like this: grep -l -RFI "moe" <search-space> | while read file;do dd=`dirname $file`; [ -d $dd ] && mv $dd <destination>;done -BR

There's also a useful tool in ``moreutils'' called vidir, which lets you filter out directory names in a pipeline and view them in an editor/pager > Sorry, I keep forgetting which email address I signed up with... > > I would add quotes and use while, just in case the directory names have > spaces and such.

Re: [Wlug] grep, maybe

Sorry, I keep forgetting which email address I signed up with... I would add quotes and use while, just in case the directory names have spaces and such. "for" splits on any whitespace, which could be quite troublesome. grep -RFl "moe" somedirectory/ | while read file; do echo mv "`dirname "$file"`" "destination_path"; done Randall Mason randall(a)mason.ch On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 12:47 PM, Randall Mason <randall(a)mason.ch> wrote: > I would add quotes and use while, just in case the directory names have > spaces and such.

Adding to that: for FILE in $( grep -lRF moe somedirectory/* ) ; \ do echo mv -v $(dirname "$FILE") destination_path ; done Remove the "echo" and repeat if it looks Ok.

I think this should do the trick. I haven't tested it cause I don't want to have *my* files moved around. for FILE in $( grep -lRF moe somedirectory/* ) ; do mv "$FILE" destination_path ; done ~James

grep, maybe

by Maurice

Looking for some guidance; I have several files within several folders (5 files per folder, and thousands of folders) that I need to search a text file within each folder for a word match (like three_little_pigs.txt, and I need to find "moe", if he's listed) and then when a match is found I need to move (not copy) that entire folder (and it's 3~5 files contained within) to another location... I'm thinking grep, but don't know the correct syntax to make all this happen. I can easily find all the folders (1949 of them) and the word match 3923 times within the text file(s)...
