Generate Sha1, MD5 hash using echo

This is mostly for my own notes but this command will compute a md5 message digest from the command line.

You can also replace md5sum with other checksum commands (e.g., sha1sum)

for i in $(find . -name *md5checksum_file* | sed 's/$\.\/.*$md5checksum_file.txt/\1/'); do cd "$i"; md5sum -c "md5checksum_file.txt"; cd -; done | tee ~/checksum_results.txt | grep -v "<current directory>"

use md5sum -c recursively through subdirectory tree when every directory has its own checksum file

extracts path to each md5 checksum file, then, for each path, cd to it, check the md5sum, then cd - to toggle back to the starting directory. greps at the end to remove cd chattering on about the current directory.

Generate MD5 of string and output only the hash checksum

Nothing special about hashing here, only the use of cut, I think, could result at fewer keystrokes.

echo -n "String to get MD5" | md5sum | sed "s/ -//"
