files starting with u number does not accept valid solution #146
Description
Activity
It breaks on files with spaces so the failure is expected here:
bash(0)> basename -a $(find . -type f) 42Robert Hill 540Katherine Jones 639Charles Ferguson 593Brett Martin Mr. James Lopez 04Carrie Alexander 132Rebecca Rubio 477Thomas Pierce MD 388Andrew Carter 335John Joseph 974Michael Bowman 48Thomas Allen Sheri Bishop 737Jeffrey Davis Jorge Ross README Matthew Romero 293Linda Bennett 436Teresa Owens 78Michelle Spencer 25Brandon Mcdonald provident.avi 99blanditiis.avi sit.avi nisi.avi totam.avi 682Terri Jones 778Holly Archer exercitationem.mp3 3maxime.mp3 402Nancy Henson 757Robert Marquez 511Tammy Welch 670James Jacobs tmpYou are correct. If I try find . -type f | while read fname; do basename "$fname" | grep ^[0-9]; done
then it works :)
Thank you 👍
basename -a $(find . -type f) | grep ^[0-9]
is not accepted as a solution but it outputs the same lines as accepted solution: ls -R|grep ^[0-9]|grep -v dir
Only difference that the lines are in different order and in the exercise it is not specified that we need a specific order. For example ls -U would not work because it traverses the files in directory order.
Also the accepted solution should not be accepted because if directories do not contain "dir" it would not work while basename -a $(find . -type f) | grep ^[0-9] would work.
Edit: not an issue
