ok, does it exist for these other options you advised me then?

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:57

by the way, just for knowledge, do you know how to see a progress stat/bar/info in the zip command?

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:55

well, for this case now, I already did the downloads and uploads so not needed to change now, also because it's 4GB files. but I will read what you advised me for future cases

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:54

ok, great

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:51

@terdon what you think?

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:50

just really quick, what i am trying to do right now is:
I downloaded a zip of all files but it didn't contain the hidden files, so I then downloaded another zip with the hidden files only and now I want to unzip the two zips in same directory but keep everything at same time, not delete existing files

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:48

ok, I will check that. thanks again

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:37

ok, I will read about it. thanks for the suggestion

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:35

oh ok. but i think it has an option to do it too

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:34

i think there is gzip and tar, right?

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:34

I use what I know ahah

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:33

I think the zip would be faster.. ?

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:32

if you have to move some files from a server to another, what would be faster:
1 - zipping everything, then download the zip to your pc, upload to new server and unzip
or
2 - use ftp and download all files to your pc and then upload to new server
?

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:29

ok, great. thanks.
the pre-existing files are quite big so it would be a huge setback if the new unzip would delete them.

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:28

ok

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:25

ok, thanks :)

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:22

I have a zip with some files within directories. When I unzip it, if the directories already existed and there were files, they will remain there and the new ones from the zip will be placed there as well, right? doing this in the command line

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:20

I have a somewhat basic question

Alex

Jul 8, 2017 15:20

hello everyone

Alex

Jun 30, 2017 18:34

it appears that the command is adding also files in same directory of the directory I chose

Alex

Jun 30, 2017 18:32

oh, what size should I expect to have the zipped file assuming it's using default compression? +/-

Alex

Jun 30, 2017 18:25

ok guys, thanks for the help

Alex

Jun 30, 2017 18:22

how long should it take to zip about 1Gigabyte files? is a minute or less normal? that's what it took when I used the other command. I'm not used to using zip so I'm not sure

Alex

Jun 30, 2017 18:19

the /* will zip all "normal" files and then /.* will zip the hidden files
is that right?

Alex

Jun 30, 2017 18:19

yes, it's ok to include the parent folder

Alex

Jun 30, 2017 18:17

@Rinzwind so it would be:
zip -r newfile.zip directory-to-zip * .*
?

Alex

Jun 30, 2017 18:15

@Rinzwind I want to zip

Alex

Jun 30, 2017 18:14

however I tried that but the zip file didn't contain any files

Alex

Jun 30, 2017 18:14

after searching I ended with:
zip -r myfile.zip directory-to-zip/.

Alex

Jun 30, 2017 18:13

I am trying to zip all files and folders within a directory including the hidden files

Alex

Jun 30, 2017 18:12

hello everyone

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 17:20

but it doesn't work by just changing "$2" for "$9"? would it be the same command?

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 17:19

but the result is the same, except that in this one it shows the values from the nineth column as well

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 17:18

in the real case, the column one is actually the forth and the column 2 is the nineth

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 17:17

when I asked initially, I wanted to make it simplier so I used just two columns

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 17:17

well, yes, but you just have to replace $2 with $9

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 17:09

basically it printed the values from the 9th column and then used grep to get just the ones that were zero

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 17:08

cat file | awk -F";" '{printf"%s V.Sob.=%s\n",$4,$9}'| grep 'V.Sob.=0'

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 17:06

@terdon thanks a lot for your help anyway

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 17:06

@terdon a colleague sent me another command that works, I just wanted to find out why the one I used didnt work since it is supposed to be correct. but time is almost over so I need to hurry, so I will skip this

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 16:17

I mean, there's these sites where you can actually see code and such. this is not code but.. I think you get what I mean

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 16:17

is there an appropriate site for uploading such files or anything will do?

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 16:09

I don't think so because other commands work, but I don't understand why these don't work

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 16:06

is it possible that there is a problem with the system?

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 16:06

it doesn't do anything

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 15:58

no need to use cat first?

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 15:57

ok, let me try that

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 15:56

the tabs must have been me when writing it here (since I didn't copy/paste the output)

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 15:53

ok. is there a way to ignore multiple spaces in the command line?

Alex

Apr 11, 2017 15:53

I mean, could there be empty spaces and Calc didn't show me them?
