Various kinds of loop on files in directory

for file in <directory>/*
do
   echo $file
   mv -f $file <another dir>
done

The is a problem with this for loop : if the directory is empty body of the loop is executed nevertheless with the variable file set to ‚<directory>/*‘

Another solution with the for loop :
Code:

for file in `ls -1 <directory>/* 2>/dev/null‘
do
   echo $file
   mv -f $file <another dir>
done

You can also use a while loop :
Code:

ls -1 <directory>/* 2>/dev/null |
while read file
   echo $file
   mv -f $file <another dir>
done

WGET

skus cez wget, do shellu hod: wget –save-cookies=./kolace "https://ssl.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/premiumzone.cgi" -O /dev/null
–post-data="login=krasko&password=123456" so svojim loginom a heslom.
Nasledne sa ti vytvori subor kolace, potom si sprav subor zoznam do ktoreho si nakoporuj linky a spustis to takto: wget –load-cookies=./kolace -c -i zoznam .
A tot vse 😉

ja pouzivam command-line ‚wget‘, ten vie so spravnymi prepinacmi spravit jednoducho pekny komplet mirror webstranky.

wget -m -l 1 -k -c "http://stranka"
-m : mirror (shortcut for -N -r -l inf –no-remove-listing.)
-l : max depth level 1
-k : convert links to local
-c : continue if you broken download
