Question

I have a Textfile with one Filename per row:

Interpret 1 - Song 1.mp3
Interpret 2 - Song 2.mp3
...   

(About 200 Filenames)

Now I want to search a Folder recursivly for this Filenames to get the full path for each Filename in Filenames.txt.
How to do this? 🙂

(Purpose: Copied files to my MP3-Player but some of them are broken and i want to recopy them all without spending hours of researching them out of my music folder)

Answer 1

The easiest way may be the following:

cat orig_filenames.txt | while read file ; do find /dest/directory -name "$file" ; done > output_file_with_paths
