Find command in shell script

Find command in shell script

[Rowan Eppelstun]

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.

try with FILENAME="200206*.pdf".

remove the double quotes from FILENAME="'200206*.pdg'"
remove the single quotes from '{}'
remove the single quotes from ';' and preceed the ; with \   ie \;

Hmm.  Almost right, I think.  See below:

	This target is absolute, i.e. it generates the path
/home/rowan/eod/2002/ba/jun rather than ./jun implied by the second
paragraph of the spec above.

So how about:

DATE=`date +%Y%m`
DIR=/home/rowan/eod/2002/ba
MON=`date +%b | tr A-Z a-z`
cd $DIR
find ./ -name $DATE\*.pdf -exec mv -f {} $DIR/$MON \;

	If you really mean that you want relative paths, i.e.
./foo/bar/baz/200206xxx.pdf goes into ./foo/bar/baz/jun/200206xxx.pdf not
into /home/rowan/eod/2002/ba/jun/200206xxx.pdf, then replace $DIR/$MON in
the find command with ./$MON I think.

	Actually, of course not:  you'd need to create the relative ./jun
directories before the mv, otherwise it would fail (badly -- by renaming
all the *.pdf files in the given directory to `jun', so only the last
found in any given directory would remain).  Fixing that is left as an
exercise :-)).
