Not only the recursion depth of `find` can be controlled by the `-maxdepth` parameter, the depth can also be limited from “top” using the corresponding `-mindepth` parameter. So what one actually needs is:

    find . -mindepth 1 -type d

[**POSIX 7 solution**](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/find.html#tag_20_47):

    find . ! -path . -type d

For this particular case (`.`), golfs better than the `mindepth` solution (24 vs 26 chars), although this is probably slightly harder to type because of the `!`.

To exclude other directories, this will golf less well and requires a variable for DRYness:

    D=&quot;long_name&quot;
    find &quot;$D&quot; ! -path &quot;$D&quot; -type d

My decision tree between `!` and `-mindepth`:

- script? Use `!` for portability.
- interactive session on GNU?
    - exclude `.`? Throw a coin.
    - exclude `long_name`? Use `-mindepth`.

I use `find ./* &lt;...&gt;` when I don&#39;t mind ignoring first-level dotfiles (the `*` glob doesn&#39;t match these by default in bash - see the &#39;dotglob&#39; option in the shopt builtin: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/The-Shopt-Builtin.html).

&lt;pre&gt;
eclipse tmp # find .
.
./screen
./screen/.testfile2
./.X11-unix
./.ICE-unix
./tmux-0
./tmux-0/default
&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;
eclipse tmp # find ./*
./screen
./screen/.testfile2
./tmux-0
./tmux-0/default
&lt;/pre&gt;

Well, a simple workaround as well (the solution was not working for me on windows git bash)

`find * -type d`

It might not be very performant, but gets the job done, and it&#39;s what we need sometimes.

[Edit] : As @AlexanderMills commented it will not show up hidden directories in the root location (eg `./.hidden`), but it will show hidden subdirectories (eg. `./folder/.hiddenSub`). [Tested with git bash on windows]

Pipe it to sed. Don&#39;t forget the -r that extend regular expression.

    find . -type d | sed -r &#39;/^\.$/d&#39;



I have some tests that use the built in `Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting`, but can not get them to run.

I am using visual studio 2012 ultimate.

I have a solution of two projects; One has tests, `using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting`, `[TestClass]` before the class,  `[TestMethod]` before the test methods and reference `Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework` (version 10.0.0.0, runtime version v2.0.50727). I have tried dot-net framework 3.5, 4 and 4.5 others give a re-targeting error.

I have tried to build the solution and project. Test explorer has the message `Build your solution to discover all available tests. Click &quot;run all&quot; to build, discover, and run all tests in your solution.

So the question is: How to I get visual studio to find the tests?

Have also tried to follow this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms379625%28v=VS.80%29.aspx but with no success: I get stuck in section getting started, when asked to right click and select `create tests`. There is no `create tests`.

---
I have this test(it compiles, but does not show up in test explorer):

    using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;

    namespace tests {
        [TestClass]
        public class SimpleTest {
            [TestMethod]
            public void Test() {
                Assert.AreEqual(&quot;a&quot;,&quot;a&quot;, &quot;same&quot;);
            }
        }
    }
 ---
I have now discovered (see deleted answer below) that it is because it is on a shared drive, but I don&#39;t as yet know how to get around it. (something about the security setting maybe).


Why does visual studio 2012 not find my tests?

I&#39;m trying to do this:

    var script:HTMLScriptElement = document.getElementsByName(&quot;script&quot;)[0];
    alert(script.type);

but it&#39;s giving me an error:

    Cannot convert &#39;Node&#39; to &#39;HTMLScriptElement&#39;: Type &#39;Node&#39; is missing property &#39;defer&#39; from type &#39;HTMLScriptElement&#39;
    (elementName: string) =&gt; NodeList

I can&#39;t access the &#39;type&#39; member of the script element unless I cast it to the correct type, but I don&#39;t know how to do this. I searched the docs &amp; samples, but I couldn&#39;t find anything.

can be used to find all directories below some start point. But it returns the current directory (`.`) too, which may be undesired. How can it be excluded?

I am trying to write a Unix script which will truncate/empty a file which is continuously being written/open by an application when it reaches say 3GB of space. I know that the below command would do it : 

    cp /dev/null [filename]

But I am going to run this in an production environment automatically as a cron job - just posting here to see if you guys faced any issues while doing something similar to this. 


Unix shell script to truncate a large file

I know in bash I can run one command after another by separating them by semicolons, like

    $ command1; command2

Or if I only want `command2` to run only if `command1` succeeds, using `&amp;&amp;`:

    $ command1 &amp;&amp; command2

This works, but if I suspend `command1` using `Ctrl-z`, in the first case, it runs `command2` immediately, and in the second case, it doesn&#39;t run it at all.  How can I run commands in sequence, but still be able to suspend the first command, but not have the second run until I have restarted it (with `fg`) and it finishes?  I&#39;d prefer something as simple to type as possible, as I would like to do this interactively.  Or maybe I just need to set an option somewhere.

By the way, what is the proper term for what `Ctrl-z` does?

Run one command after another, even if I suspend the first one (Ctrl-z)

I used the following command to convert and merge all the `jpg` files in a directory to a single pdf file.

    convert *.jpg file.pdf

The files in the directory are numbered from `1.jpg` to `123.jpg`. The convertion went fine but after converting the pages were all mixed up. I wanted the pdf to have pages from `1.jpg` to `123.jpg` in the same order as they are named. I tried with the following command as well:

    cd 1 
    FILES=$( find . -type f -name &quot;*jpg&quot; | cut -d/ -f 2)
    mkdir temp &amp;&amp; cd temp 
    for file in $FILES; do 
        BASE=$(echo $file | sed &#39;s/.jpg//g&#39;);
        convert ../$BASE.jpg $BASE.pdf; 
        done &amp;&amp; 
    pdftk *pdf cat output ../1.pdf &amp;&amp; 
    cd .. 
    rm -rf temp

But still no luck. Operating platform Linux.

How do I, in a shell script, create a file called foo.conf and make it contain:

Create file with contents from shell script

We can test if a directory is writable by the uid of the current process:

    if [ -w $directory ] ; then echo &#39;Eureka!&#39; ; fi

But can anyone suggest a way to test if a directory is writable by some *other* uid?

My scenario is that I am administering a MySQL Server instance, and I want to change the location of the slow-query log file temporarily.  I can do this by executing a MySQL command `SET GLOBAL slow_query_log_file=&#39;$new_log_filename&#39;` and then disable &amp; enable query logging to make `mysqld` start using that file.

But I&#39;d like my script to check that the uid of the `mysqld` process has permissions to create that new log file.  So I&#39;d like to do something like (pseudocode):

    $ if [ -w-as-mysql-uid `basename $new_log_filename` ] ; then echo &#39;Eureka!&#39; ; fi

But of course that&#39;s an imaginary test predicate.

*Clarification:*  I would like a solution that doesn&#39;t rely on `su` because I can&#39;t assume the user of my script has su privilege.

Test if a directory is writable by a given UID?

I have a method that will iterate through a folder and all of its subfolders and get a list of the file paths. However, I could only figure out how to create it and add the files to a public List&lt;string&gt;, but not how to return the list. Here&#39;s the method:

    public List&lt;String&gt; files = new List&lt;String&gt;();

    private void DirSearch(string sDir)
        {
            try
            {
                foreach (string f in Directory.GetFiles(sDir))
                {
                    files.Add(f);
                }
                foreach (string d in Directory.GetDirectories(sDir))
                {
                    DirSearch(d);
                }
            }
            catch (System.Exception excpt)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(excpt.Message);
            }
        }

So, i just call `DirSearch()` at some point in my code and it &#39;fills&#39; the list with the paths, but I want to be able to use it multiple times to create different lists with different directories, etc.

Method to get all files within folder and subfolders that will return a list

This command lists directories in the current path: `ls -d */`

What exactly does the pattern `*/` do?

And how can we give the absolute path in the above command (e.g. `ls -d /home/alice/Documents`) for listing only directories in that path?

Listing only directories using ls in Bash?

I wanted to know if it is possible to get all the names of text files in a certain folder. 

For example, I have a folder with the name Maps, and I would like to get the names of all the text files in that folder and add it to a list of strings. 

Is it possible, and if so, how I can achieve this?


Getting all file names from a folder using C#

I&#39;m checking to see if a directory exists, but I noticed I&#39;m using `os.path.exists` instead of `os.path.isdir`.  Both work just fine, but I&#39;m curious as to what the advantages are for using `isdir` instead of `exists`. 

pros and cons between os.path.exists vs os.path.isdir

I always forget which file I edit one minutes ago, so I input `find . -cmin 1` or some other value but it worked exactly `1` minutes. I had to try `find . -ctime 2 /*or 3,4...*/`.

Then I find another approach which be better:

    touch -t 12251134 empty /*similar format which 5 or 10 minutes ago */
    find . -newer empty

I can use `date -d&#39;-5minutes&#39; +%m%d%H%M` caculate the time for me. I want to know if there is a simple way to find files accessed 1, 2 or 3... minutes ago.

Is there any way to `find and replace text string automatically in all folder&#39;s files`?


Sublime text 2 - find and replace globally ( all files and in all directories )

I want to find files that end with `_peaks.bed`, but exclude files in the `tmp` and `scripts` folders.

My command is like this:

     find . -type f $ -name &quot;*_peaks.bed&quot; ! -name &quot;*tmp*&quot; ! -name &quot;*scripts*&quot; $

But it didn&#39;t work. The files in `tmp` and `script` folder will still be displayed.

Does anyone have ideas about this?

Use find command but exclude files in two directories

I need to check if a string is present in a list, and call a function which accepts a boolean accordingly.

Is it possible to achieve this with a one liner?

The code below is the best I could get:

    val strings = List(&quot;a&quot;, &quot;b&quot;, &quot;c&quot;)
    val myString = &quot;a&quot;
    
    strings.find(x=&gt;x == myString) match {
      case Some(_) =&gt; myFunction(true)
      case None =&gt; myFunction(false)
    }

I&#39;m sure it&#39;s possible to do this with less coding, but I don&#39;t know how!

Scala check if element is present in a list

I want to rename all files and directories that contain the word &quot;special&quot; to &quot;regular&quot;. It should maintain case sensitivity so &quot;Special&quot; won&#39;t become &quot;regular&quot;.

How can i do this in bash recursively?
