Question 1:
How to make a script that moves all files with a keyword on it to
another folder and lets me know how many files it moved with that keyword?
Answer 1:
Code:
#/bin/ksh -x
file_name=`ls *key_word*`
for i in ${file_name}
do
cp ${i} /home/target_dircetory
count=`expr ${count} + 1 `
done
echo "number of file transferd = ${count} "

Replace key_word with the word you want to search and replace /home/target_dircetory
with your direcoty address

Code:
num=0
for files in *keyword*

find / -name "*keyword*" -print -exec mv {} /target/dir \;
