A question arose today on how to copy all the jpg's from all over one computer to one single directory. Well here is one way to automate this task.

First do this:

 

DIR /b/s *.jpg>list.txt

 

Now after the command has complete its run, open the file in notepad.

Now use it's search/replace feature to replace all occurrences of the drive

letter with the copy command...

 

Replace:C:\

With:COPY /Y C:\

 

 

If any filenames in the list contain spaces, add a double quote in front of

the drive letter like this...

 

With:COPY /Y "C:\

 

 

Then using a case insensitive search, replace all occurrences of the ".jpg"

extension with the remainder of the command.

Replace:.jpg

With:.jpg c:\jpeg_files

 

If you added a double quote above, then you will need to add one following

the .jpg extension to enclose each file name in double quotes.

 

With:.jpg" c:\jpeg_files

 

Now review the file to ensure you see each command as follows,

 

COPY /y C:\pathname\filename.jpg c:\jpeg_files

 

Or with double quotes,

 

COPY /y "C:\pathname\filename.jpg" c:\jpeg_files

 

If all looks good, save it as somefile.bat and run it.

 

The possibilities with this script are not limited to just that.

You could also replace the COPY command with the DEL command to delete, or the MOVE command to move it from its current location.

hi im Liam and i live i oxfordshire (u.k.) im still at school but am trying to learn as much as i can about linux/windows security. My hobbies include compute4rs(obviously) snooker, and listening to music. I came to this site as i am planning to duel boot a machine to linux. THis site is extremely useful and has helped me greatly keep up the good work.

And hello to everyone out there on this forum.

I took the time to scan a fold out that I had that was a guide to linux that you can find in most college bookstores.

 

I scanned them into images and then converted to pdf. I hope they look ok.

 

Morbondu at Grithouse.com was gracious enough to let me store them there since his connection is twice as fast as mine is.

you can choose the colours background, but you can select the "transparent" so here i will tell you how:

 

open the xchat, in the top menu that have: X-Chat IRC Server Settings Windows and Help.

 

Click "Settings", then click "Preferences". Under the "Interface", you'll see a "Text box". go there. there is a check box and written "Transparent background" tick the box, then click "ok"

 

Now your background of xchat will become a transparent.

 

Thats the tip for xchat.

 

Enjoy!

As I was perusing through some of the many posts added in the past few days I noticed a few postings in the incorrect section of forums...specifically in the linux newb section titled "how do i". This is more a place for members to ask questions than it is for members to post information about possible questions...It might be worth having a seperate section for these, but until then I believe they should be moved to "Tips and Tricks". Just some thoughts, try to start out right and keep this place clean/organized! B)

I want to convert a whole bunch of TGA screenshots to JPG format in GIMP

 

is there a way i can do it automagically or do i have to do each one by hand ?

 

cheers

fsutil

This is a handy command. You can do everything from managing your hardlinks to querying the free space in a volume. Type "fsutil" into your command prompt, and you'll see a list of options. I choose "fsinfo" from the list, so I type "fsutil fsinfo" into the prompt. Now I get even more options, but I choose drives by typing "fsutil fsinfo drives." It's fun, it's easy, and you'll get the hang of it. Explore this utility. There are a lot of cool features and hidden twists.
