I have a bash command that lists the directories in HDFS beginning with '/random'.



It goes as follows:



hdfs dfs -ls -R /random | grep '^d' | awk 'print $NF'


It generates the following output:



/random/custom
/random/custom/hive
/random/custom/hive/jars
/random/app
/random/app/nifi
/random/app/nifi/egispub
/random/app/nifi/empgis
/random/app/nifi/ods
/random/app/nifi/ptcsm
/random/app/nifi/tmds
/random/app/nifi/ucmdb
/random/app/oozie
/random/app/oozie/efdm
/random/app/oozie/efdm/ensco
/random/app/oozie/efdm/ensco/standardized_efdm_ensco_parser_5min
/random/app/oozie/efdm/ensco/standardized_efdm_ensco_parser_5min/lib

/random/app/oozie/gis/opk/standardized_gis_opk_parser_10min/lib
/random/app/oozie/gis/opk/standardized_gis_opk_parser_10min/schemas


I would like to modify my command so that only the full directory path is listed, as follows:



/random/custom/hive/jars
/random/app/nifi/egispub
/random/app/nifi/empgis
/random/app/nifi/ods

You're looking to printing non-directory files only? Try piping your result through



awk -F/ 'NF <= OLDNF print LAST; OLDNF = NF; LAST = $0 END print LAST'
/random/custom/hive/jars
/random/app/nifi/egispub
/random/app/nifi/empgis
/random/app/nifi/ods
/random/app/nifi/ptcsm
/random/app/nifi/tmds
/random/app/nifi/ucmdb

/random/app/oozie/gis/opk/standardized_gis_opk_parser_10min/lib
/random/app/oozie/gis/opk/standardized_gis_opk_parser_10min/schemas


It looks for "growing depth" of the path read, and prints if that shrank (going back in dir depth) or stays equal (file on same hierarchy level).

Another awk approach which is based on matching current line against the previous line. and you must sort the input first.



... |sort | awk '$0 ~ pre pre=$0; next preprint pre pre=$0 END print '


Input:



/random/custom
/c/d
/e/f/c
/a/b
/random/custom/hive/jars
/random/app
/random/app/nifi
/random/app/nifi/egispub
/random/app/nifi/empgis
/random/app/nifi/ods
/random/app/nifi/ptcsm
/random/app/nifi/tmds
/random/app/nifi/ucmdb
/random/app/oozie
/random/app/oozie/efdm
/random/app/oozie/efdm/ensco
/random/app/oozie/efdm/ensco/standardized_efdm_ensco_parser_5min
/random/app/oozie/efdm/ensco/standardized_efdm_ensco_parser_5min/lib
/random/app/oozie/efdm/mermec
/random/app/oozie/efdm/mermec/cleansed_efdm_mermec_5min
/random/app/oozie/efdm/mermec/standardized_efdm_mermec_5min
/random/app/oozie/gis

/random/app/oozie/gis/opk/standardized_gis_opk_parser_10min/lib
/random/app/oozie/gis/opk/standardized_gis_opk_parser_10min/schemas


Output:



$ awk '$0 ~ pre pre=$0; next preprint pre pre=$0 END print ' <(sort infile)
/a/b
/c/d
/e/f/c
/random/app/nifi/egispub
/random/app/nifi/empgis

    With modern seds (and assuming sorted input):



    sed -E '$!N;/(.+)n1/!P;D' infile


    If your sed is anticuado try:



    sed '$!N;/(.1,)n1/!P;D' infile

      Another awk approach which is based on matching current line against the previous line. and you must sort the input first.



      ... |sort | awk '$0 ~ pre pre=$0; next preprint pre pre=$0 END print '
