List all folders and subfolder with bash












4














I tried to use PHP to read my folder and the subfolder to create a basic menu for me to use, but I noticed when I did that it took some time because it has to run it every time I go to the page.



Then I was thinking, why not use bash and make it create a text file that PHP can read and make it run every night with crontab? So I searched and tried but it was not so easy.



With this code I can get ONE subfolder



for D in /var/www/html/lib/*; do

    if [ -d "${D}" ]; then

        echo "${D}"

    fi

done


it gave me



/var/www/html/lib/folder1

/var/www/html/lib/folder2

/var/www/html/lib/folder3

...


But the folders all have subfolders like



/var/html/lib/folder1/1990

...


My idea was to make a loop and then use



myfolder= "${D}"

addresstoremove="var/www/html/"



printf '%sn' "${myfolder//$addresstoremove/}" >> textfile.txt


so it remove the address I do not need in my PHP code






command-line bash directory

What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

Image
0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?

up vote 1 down vote favorite I am using openpyxl for parsing .xlsm files, and pytest for testing. When I open a file, I get the: OpenPyxl -> UserWarning: Data Validation extension is not supported and will be removed That is not really a problem bcs. program works and I can't change the .xlsm file to fix that. But... When I run pytest with something like: def test_wrong_file_format(): assert check_excel(open_excel('file.xlsm')) == True I will get the warning i mentioned altought check_excel(open_excel('file.xlsm')) returns True and the test should suceed... Is there a nice way to tell the pytest that "It's not a bug it's a feature" and tests should pass even when they get this warning? Is there other way than using something like: with pytest.warns(UserWarning): ...
