CFD Online Discussion Forums - Script for updating headers of files to current OF version

hello,

I have been playing around doing some scripts for other things, and I took the time to do a small script that will update the headers of the files to the current version of OF, and I thought to share it.

It is more or less aesthetic, but as I use the files that I adapted to work in newer versions of OF (and that it had lost compatibility with the older ones...) I found updating the headers could be helpful.

the script looks for all the files in the case, confirms that is an OF file by comparing the first and seventh line of the header (that is constant among the different versions of OF... or at least the ones I have used)

Code:

/*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\

| =========                 |                                                 |

| \\      /  F ield         | OpenFOAM: The Open Source CFD Toolbox           |

|  \\    /   O peration     | Version:  v1912                                 |

|   \\  /    A nd           | Website:  www.openfoam.com                      |

|    \\/     M anipulation  |                                                 |

\*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

Code:

/*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\

  =========                 |

  \\      /  F ield         | OpenFOAM: The Open Source CFD Toolbox

   \\    /   O peration     | Website:  https://openfoam.org

    \\  /    A nd           | Version:  7

     \\/     M anipulation  |

\*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

and then it recovers the headers of a tutorial case of the actual OF installed in the computer by:

Code:

headerFile=$(find $FOAM_TUTORIALS -name "*controlDict*" |head -1)

and replace it in each file.
it is not a complicated thing to do but I thought that maybe someone will appreciate the share.
in any case here it is (Attachment 84293):

Code:

#!/bin/bash

cd "${0%/*}" || exit                                # Run from this directory

. ${WM_PROJECT_DIR:?}/bin/tools/RunFunctions        # Tutorial run functions

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------



str1='/*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\'

str7='\*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/'

headerFile=$(find $FOAM_TUTORIALS -name "*controlDict*" |head -1)

header=$(head -7 $headerFile)

echo "Renaming headers to:"

echo "$header"

for dir in ./*/*; do

        #echo "$(head -1 $dir)"

                if [ -f "$dir" ]; then

                        if [ "$str1" = "$(head -1 $dir)" ]; then

                                if [ "$str7" = "$(head -7 $dir|tail -1)" ]; then

                                #echo "$dir"_Temp

                                tail +8 $dir > "$dir"_Temp

                                echo "$header" | cat - "$dir"_Temp > temp && mv temp "$dir"_Temp

                                mv "$dir"_Temp "$dir"

                                fi

                        fi

                fi

done

hope someone will find it usefull :)
best regards!
