I'm working on a script that reads a directory using 'find' and its
'-exec' primary to create a symlink to the file. So for example, I have
the following command:
find /multimedia/Pictures -iname "*.jpg" -print
This command returns a bunch of filenames. Here's an example of one:
/multimedia/Pictures/2005 Kimberly & Rich/IMG_1210.JPG
What I'd like to is get '-exec' to run this command:
ln -s "/multimedia/Pictures/2005 Kimberly & Rich/IMG_1210.JPG" "2005
Kimberly & Rich/IMG_1210.JPG"
What is the best way to manipulate this string? And then what is the
right syntax for -exec? I'm an extreme newbie when it comes to shell
scripting. Will this work? Are the better ways to do this than using
"find".
Thanks for your help,
Drew
