This uses bash's Process Substitution. It is necessary to give the full path of the file, thus why the filenames are filtered through realpath. In theory, this command should also work with mplayer and mplayer2 (using -playlist instead of --playlist). Modifications: - You can search specific directories by inserting them between "find" and "-type". - Edit the parameter of "-iname" to change the type of file searched for. - Remove everything after "realpath" to play the files in order.
0mpv --playlist <(find -type f -iname '*.mp3' -print0 | xargs -0 realpath | sort -R) -
0cat *pound* | grep someURL.com | awk '{print $7}'| uniq -c | sort -bgr >> uniqueIPwC.txt

Very useful to get rid of backup files or wrong extension files that lure in your folders In this example first I do two searches for all filenames of the two extensions .jpg and .png, then delete the extension and only output the now duplicate files. I loop with these results and print a log and delete the file with the extension I dislike. Show Sample Output
0for f in `comm -1 -2 <(sort <(find contrib/image/ -name *.png | sed 's/\.[^.]*$//')) <(sort <(find contrib/image/ -name *.jpg | sed 's/\.[^.]*$//'))`;do rm "$f.png" && echo "deleted: $f.png";done -
0find / -type f -size +500M 2>/dev/null | xargs du -h | sort -nr

I wanted to count and display the top directories containing JavaScript files in some of my project. Here it is. Maybe it can be written to more simply syntax by using find -exec...
0for f in `find . -type d`; do pushd . > /dev/null ; echo -e `cd $f ; find . -name \*\.js | wc -l` "\t" $f | grep -v ^0 ; popd >/dev/null; done | sort -n -k 1 -r | less -
I know 'sort -n -t . -k 1,1 -k 2,2 -k 3,3 -k 4,4' is much more familiar. However, before sort 8.4 which is built-in with CentOS 6.x, use 'sort -V' is 15 times faster. In CentOS 7 with sort 8.22 there is no obviously difference. Show Sample Output
0sort -V ~/ip.txt -

Finds javascript lodash/underscore methods in source code. It's not perfect as can be ascertained from the last entry in the output. Would be interested if somebody improves this. Show Sample Output

I couldn't find movie library on any of the SQLlite Stremio databases, but on ~/.config/stremio/backgrounds2 the background image filenames corresponds to IMDB URL. So I foreach files and wget HTML title of each movie and save it to a file. This will retrieve all movie names, not just the Library.
