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} "
Note:
Replace key_word with the word you want to search and
replace /home/target_dircetory with your direcoty address
or
Code:
num=0
for files in *keyword*
do
cp $files /destination && ((num++))
done
echo "how many files : $num"
or
find / -name "*keyword*" -print -exec mv {} /target/dir
\;
