QUESTION
I'm trying to cleanup my e-book folders. I want to keep .mobi & .epub, and delete others with the same name but different extension.
For example:
- 1984.mobi
- 1984.pdf
- 1984.rtf
The script would delete 1984.pdf & 1984.rft. BUT, if there is only non-epub/mobi files, leave them alone.
For example:
- 1984.mobi
- 1984.pdf
- 1984.rtf
- AnimalFarm.lit
The script would delete 1984.pdf & 1984.rft, leaving the .mobi & epub, & AnimalFarm.lit as there were no .epub & .mobi versions.
I found the script below at: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2146107-how-to-find-and-remove-duplicate-files-with-same-name-but-different-extension
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Sep-25 at 04:35If I understand the question as adjusted by comments you want to delete files of any format other than .epub & .mobi but only if one of those same 2 also exist. For example, if we encounter a file AnimalFarm.pdf only delete it if there's an .epub and/or .mobi version of the same book.
QUESTION
I wanted to use a simple script to get me all images below given folder and compare them/find duplicates.
Why invent the wheel when the first step of the solution is already there under: Finding duplicate files and removing them
But it fails already at the first step in the sense that it visits all the folders on a given USB flash drive. I stripped away all the hashing stuff and I am trying to get only the list of files but even that lasts forever and visits every file on the USB drive.

QUESTION
I am trying to make a system which involves "file management" so the only thing that bothers me is how to rename file duplicates like for example:
- "Cat.docx" becomes Cat(1).docx
- "Cat(1).docx" also becomes Cat(2).docx and so on...
I also understand the other thread answers related to my question here But I am using Mysql Database with Java and I honestly cannot think of a way to adapt it in my case.
Anyone with an idea about it, please share. Thanks a lot!
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Mar-22 at 05:31If you are storing fileName in database, then you can follow these steps
If you are getting a file name file.txt then make a call to db with
select count(*) from table where fileNmae="file.txt"
If this count is greater than 0 then insert file into table with name file(1).txt (for renaming follow link)
- If count is 0 then directly insert the original name into table.
