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?

Trompette piccolo

Ne doit pas être confondu avec trompette de poche. Trompette piccolo en si bémol, avec des branches d'embouchure différentes pour le si bémol (la plus courte) ou la (la plus longue) Trompette piccolo La trompette piccolo est la plus petite de la famille des trompettes. Elle joue une octave plus haut que la trompette standard en si bémol. La plupart des trompettes piccolo sont conçues pour jouer dans les deux tonalités de si bémol ou la, en utilisant une branche d'embouchure différente pour chaque tonalité. Le tube de la trompette piccolo en si bémol a une longueur moitié de celle de la trompette normale en si bémol. Des trompettes piccolo en sol, fa, ut sont également fabriquées, mais elles sont rares. La trompette soprano en ré, aussi connu comme la « trompette Bach », a été inventée vers 1890 par le facteur belge Victor-Charles Mahillon pour jouer les parties hautes de la trompette dans la musique de Bach et Haendel. La trompette piccolo moderne permet aux
