USEFUL COMMANDS (MISCELLANEOUS)

Finding directories

We are going to create a script that recursively finds all directories that contain a .pom.xml file inside them and, if they do, executes a mvn clean.

This way we can keep our filesystem clean.

#!/bin/bash
EXECUTION_DIR=$PWD
array=($(find . -type d))

for value in "${array[@]}"
do
    FILE=$value/pom.xml
    if [ -f "$FILE" ]; then
        cd $value
        mvn clean 
        echo "Cleaned successfully project at $value"
        cd $EXECUTION_DIR

    fi
done

Printing path and file name in a shell script

This is done using the dirname and basename commands:

#!/bin/bash

read -p "Please insert File Full Path: " OPENAPI_MAIN_FILE

directory=$(dirname "$OPENAPI_MAIN_FILE")
filename=$(basename "$OPENAPI_MAIN_FILE")

echo $directory
echo $filename
