Amina Copy File Script

This is a script to help Amina to copy a bunch o files from one place to another place.

Usage

  1. Obtain script via installation instructsion below
  2. Prepare data file according to instructions below
  3. Then, in a terminal

run:

ruby /path/to/copy_files.rb /path/to/data.txt

Installation

This script is basically just one ruby file that that will be executed from the command line. It reads a data file that contains the necessary info to copy files from and to the right place.

This doesn't need to be "installed" per se, but it does need to be copied to your computer. I recommend copying this whole project to your computer so you can see it in action, and mimic the setup anywhere you need to use this. We should probably be on Google hangouts screenshare when you "install".

Installation: Option 1 (Git)

If you can, navigate in your terminal to a place where you want to install these files via git, and run

git clone [email protected]:pixelterra/amina.copy_files.git

Installation: Option 2 (Zip)

Use the Download Zip button on this page: https://github.com/pixelterra/amina.copy_files

Data File Format

Take a look at the data.txt file in this repository, and just mimic that. Basically:

  • It is a PLAIN TEXT file (not word, or rtf, or xls)
  • You can use any plain text editor to edit this (like TextEdit)
  • The 1st line is the FROM directory
  • The 2nd line is the TO directory
  • Every subsequent line is a file to copy from FROM to TO
  • Don't have any blank lines, not even at the end of the file.

Notes

Ruby 2.0.0 is assumed
