Eric Covener’s Journal

I answered this question for someone on a bulletin board that I frequent. The real answer is download perl/cygwin/etc but the person swore he didn’t have permission to do even that.

Filesystem layout is a toplevel directory, followed by 26 subdirs [a-z], each 1-letter subdir has a directory that represents a name.

Each name directory has some number of subdirectories (only 1-deep though) that has a number of documents whose filenames are unique for the username. He wants to move the files so that you have TOP/[a-z]/ANAME/files
e.g:

a/abe/abe1: file1.doc
a/abe/abe2: file2.doc file3.doc
a/alf/alf1: file1.doc file2.doc

for /F “usebackq” %%i IN (`dir /b /A:D`) do call :perletter %%i
goto :done

:perletter
for /F “usebackq” %%k in (`dir %1 /b /A:D`) do call :pername %%k %1
goto :done

:pername
cd %2%1
for /F “usebackq” %%i in (`dir /s /b /A:-D`) do echo move %%i .
for /F “usebackq” %%i in (`dir /s /b /A:D`) do echo rmdir %%i
cd ….

:done

Of course, there are 2 echos in there to make this code harmless.

Will noone go to this movie with me

AllHipHop.com: Speaking of ’05, what is your top five ‘Whoa’ list for 2005? What’s really standing out to you right now?

Black Rob: Nothing really fazing me like that. Bush getting elected, that ain’t whoa, that’s not whoa. Nothing’s whoa anymore, I’m sorry to be able to not answer your question but nothing’s whoa anymore. Everybody’s doing the same thing, so now we gotta get dough. It’s no more whoa, it’s just dough now, so that’s what it is.

Whoa.

Can?t you ?understand??

I’ve been listening to the upcoming 50 cent album, Massacre, in my car over the last couple days. It’s without question one of the most dissapointing records I’ve ever, uh, downloaded.

Maybe having Ricky from down the block producing some songs instead of Dr Dre isn’t such a good idea after all.

Will Bad Boy show some signs of life anytime soon and fill the void? Can Black Rob challenge eminem for the crown? (probably not). Can Puff Dadddy sell a record when it’s not featuring the greatest star the genre has ever seen?

This book will kick so much ass that it may reverse progress made towards world peace during the last 50 years.

Friends of journalist Hunter S. Thompson say they want to blast his cremated remains out of a cannon in a final salute to the gun-loving writer who committed suicide last weekend.

Comedy Central has given the green light to: “Stella,” a half-hour series toplined and written by Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter and David Wain. A scripted adaptation of their popular stage show, it has received a 10-episode order for a summer launch. Black, Showalter and Wain also are executive producing the project, which chronicles the misadventures of a trio of modern-day Marx Brothers who face absurdist obstacles.
