Re: print only first level directory name when copying files

[Kevin Korb via rsync]

find /mnt/foo/* -maxdepth 0 -print -exec rsync -an `realpath {}` 
/mnt/bar/ \;

 (realpath eliminates the trailing slashes)

Hello,

I am copying /mnt/foo to /mnt/bar/

   rsync --info=name1,del2 -rl /mnt/foo /mnt/bar/

/mnt/foo contains deep directory structure, ie:

   /mnt/foo/aaa/
   /mnt/foo/aaa/somestuff/
   /mnt/foo/aaa/somestuff/file1

   /mnt/foo/bbb/
   /mnt/foo/bbb/someotherstuff/
   /mnt/foo/bbb/someotherstuff/file2

I am not interested in details which individual files were copied, just
the main directory. Is it somehow possible for rsync to only report the
first level directory?

ie, to have output like this when copying:

   /mnt/foo/aaa/
   /mnt/foo/bbb/


thanks,

On second thought, that grep will match any directory name having 3
*or more* levels.  This:

   rsync --info=name1,del2 -rl /mnt/foo /mnt/bar/ | egrep 
'^/[^/]*/[^/]*/[^/]*/$'

should match only those with exactly 3 levels.


I think that should work!

thank you
