refile whole files as headings?

refile whole files as headings?

[Matt Price]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 724 bytes --]

I am reorganizing my courses, consolidating many short files into longer
ones. So, for instance, I have a directory like:

✗ ls Assignments

ClassProjectGuidelines.org
course-blog.org
essay-assignment.org
ProjectProposal.org
STA-01-CSS.org
STA-02-wordpress-themes.org
STA-03-Foundation.org
STA-04-maps.org

I'd like to turn this into Assignments.org, with a structure like this:

* ClassProjectGuidelines.org
* course-blog.org
* essay-assignment.org
* ProjectProposal.org
* STA-01-CSS.org
* STA-02-wordpress-themes.org
* STA-03-Foundation.org
* STA-04-maps.org

It's sort of the reverse of Marcin's one-to-many export issue as described
in another thread.  Best ways to accomplish this? thx,
m

A shell script:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
cd Assignments
for f in *.org; do
  echo "* $f"
  cat $f
done > Assignments.org
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If you need to change the levels of the headings in the files,
use a sed script instead of cat:

   sed '/^\*/s/&/**/' $f

Thank you so much Nick!

I am terrible with sed and with pipes, and ended up having two problems
when trying to use this code with sed; I ended up modifying it to the
following:

for f in *.org; do
    echo "* $f" >> allofem.org
    # cat $f
    cat $f | sed 's/^\*/**/' >> allofem.org
done

not as elegant looking as yours, but it worked for me.

very helpful and much appreciated!

Except that I screwed up: the sed invocations was wrong:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     cd Assignments
     for f in *.org; do
       echo "\* $f"
       sed '/^\*/s//**/' $f
     done > Assignments.org
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

should work (maybe I should try it out... nah, what could go wrong?)

Sorry about that.
