Script to delete duplicate files - Programming On Unix

Maybe someone besides me can make use of this script I wrote. I use it to delete duplicate files (hence it's called deldup) in the current and all contained directories. In my case it's been particularly helpful in cleaning up my .pdf collection, containing multiple file with the same content (ie. sam MD5 hashsum), but either different file names or just placed twice in two directories. It then offers a selectable list of items to delete. Typing "!" will delete every file with a certain hashsum.
I've only tested it under void with bash, but I'd like to make it as portable as possible, this means replacing all bash tricks (readarray, let, regular expression matching) with some POSIX compatible equivalents. And here's the script: Code: #!/bin/bash Alternative uploads: https://a.pomfe.co/udnjib, https://sub.god.jp/f/F1D3s2iQ.sh, https://comfy.moe/ypqbun I never had any actual formal introduction to shell scripting, so this isn't the tidiest script. I wrote it over a timespan of a few months, adding features as I needed them. Feedback would be much appreciated. Also, is there a simpler way do do this under Unix? Maybe even a pre-existing tool? |
