Sure. First, I think the problem is that the hidden attribute test is
failing because it's only on the directory and not on the files. I
think you really just want to skip any file that has '_vti_cnf' in its
directory path. Here's a snippet in Ruby that will do that:
I'll set up a test tree on Linux:
[troche@saturn ~]$ mkdir test
[troche@saturn ~]$ mkdir test/dir_a
[troche@saturn ~]$ mkdir test/_vti_cnf
[troche@saturn ~]$ mkdir test/dir_a/_vti_cnf
[troche@saturn ~]$ touch test/file1
[troche@saturn ~]$ touch test/dir_a/file2
[troche@saturn ~]$ touch test/dir_a/file3
[troche@saturn ~]$ touch test/dir_a/file4
[troche@saturn ~]$ touch test/_vti_cnf/file5
[troche@saturn ~]$ touch test/_vti_cnf/file6
[troche@saturn ~]$ touch test/_vti_cnf/file7
[troche@saturn ~]$ tree test
test
|-- dir_a
| |-- file2
| |-- file3
| |-- file4
| `-- _vti_cnf
|-- file1
`-- _vti_cnf
|-- file5
|-- file6
`-- file7
I stole this code from stack overflow
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1281090/whats-the-ruby-equivalent-of-pythons-os-walk)
which was close enough to what you needed done and hacked out the
extras. I added the last line just to print out the results.
Save this to a file on any decent operating system that comes with
Ruby (or install Ruby on any deficient OS :)
(http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/) and this should do the trick:
#! /bin/env ruby
require 'pathname'
def os_walk(dir)
root = Pathname(dir)
files = []
Pathname(root).find {|path| files << path if path.file? and path !=
root and !path.to_s.include? 'vti_cnf'}
[root, files]
end
root, files = os_walk('./test/')
files.reverse_each {|f| print f.to_s + "\n" }
*-- snip here --*
Run the file and you'll get:
[troche@saturn ~]$ ./oswalk.rb
./test/file1
./test/dir_a/file4
./test/dir_a/file3
./test/dir_a/file2
I just noticed I skipped the requirement for .doc files. Easy enough
to do, just add 'and path.to_s.downcase.include? '.doc' in the long
line of Pathname... above.
