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

How to setup project in KDevelop

novy projekt:

zalozka vpravo – Automake manager
 – v hornej casti klikni na ikonku ‚add new subproject‘ a zadaj jeho meno, napriklad ‚src‘. Bez subprojektu by sa linky
    na cpp subory pridavali priamo do projektoveho adresara. Takto budu pridavane do podadresara ‚src‘
 – v hornej casti vyber projekt ‚src‘ a klikni na ikonku ‚add target‘ a zadaj meno cieloveho executable
 – v dolnej casti sa zobrazi <meno exe>( Program in bin ), okrem povodneho (header in noinst) (ale ten tam nebude kedze sme v podprojekte)
 – cpp ktore pridas do tohoto noveho itemu sa budu kompilovat
 – v menu / Project /  Project Options nastav Configure Options pre tvoj config, pravdepodobne ‚debug‘. Do C/C++
    preprocessor daj cesty ku libkam, do Linker flags daj libky. V zalozke C++ mozes pridat definy,
    napr "-O0 -g3 -D_UNIX -D_DEBUG"
    Tieto nastavenia netreba nastavovat v Automake manageri cez ikonku kluca. Netreba tam nic vyplnat, vsetko
    sa nastavuje v Project options.
 – spusti Build / run Automake & friends
 – spusti Build / run Config
 – spusti Build / Build project
 – po kompilacii nastav v zalozke Run options nastav parametre pre spustanie. Napriklad
    executable: /home/mirex/work/biturn_svn/BiturnGtkmmKdev/debug
    Debug arguments: 002131080.C3 002131080.lwo -log 3 –general-owauto 1
    Working directory: /home/mirex/work/biturn_svn/BiturnGtkmmKdev/debug/src
