Subject: Find command in shell script
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2002 12:24:18 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000101c2166f$40d70710$697ba8c0@wrkeppo02> (raw)
Hi,
I am trying to do the following command in a script but cannot seem to get
the escape characters right for the find - exec mv command.
I am trying to move all files named 200206*.pdf to a subdirectory of their
currnet directory called "jun". Once I get the syntax correct for this I
will automate it for the year, but have got stuck at this bit.
Could anyone please advise what I am missing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh
MONTH='date +%m'
DATE='date +%Y%m'
DIR=/home/rowan/eod/2002/ba
if DATE=200206; then FILENAME="'200206*.pdf'"
fi
if MONTH=06 ; then MONDIR=$DIR/jun/
fi
cd $DIR
pwd
find ./ -name $FILENAME -exec mv -f '{}' $MONDIR ';'
exit 0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------
Thanks in advance.
