I have a directory we'll call Books which contains in it the ebooks that I have. A file name will be: Verne, Jules - The Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras.epub Twain, Mark - Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.epub If I've gotten around to standardising it's name I have another directory, dirB where I dump ebooks that I happen to get. What I want to do is sync files from dirB to Books, but I want to exclude files whose names are 'close' to the names that already exist in Books. So, a file named "Huckleberry Finn" would not be copied, nor would a file named "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.pdf" I'm thinking there might be a way to do this with rsync, but how? Would I be better off trying to unzip the epubs (they are mostly epubs) and pull the docTitle from the toc file? Has anyone done anything like this already? I am doing it manually, but it is tedious and I still manage to get duplicates. -- Dinosaurs are attacking! Throw a barrel!
