Script moving files based on date
Post 302714705 by rockingvj on Friday 12th of October 2012 12:51:02 PM

Its still not working :
$ ./movefiles.sh
mkdir: cannot create 10112012_073952.xls
10112012_073952.xls: File exists
mv: 10112012_073952.xls.xls and 10112012_073952.xls are identical.
Just small question , the code given by you has :
#!/bin/ksh typeset -R4 yy for i in *.xls do echo $i | read m d y y=${y##* } y=${y%%_*} yy=$y dir=$d$m$yy [[ -d $dir ]] || mkdir $dir mv -f "$i" $dir done
echo $i | read m d y y=${y##* } ----------------> I think it should be m y=${y%%_*} ----------------> it should be d yy=$y
Let me know your comments.

mvdir - move a directory SYNOPSIS
dir newdir DESCRIPTION
moves one directory tree into another existing directory (within the same file system), or renames a directory without moving it. dir must be an existing directory. If newdir does not exist but the directory that would contain it does, dir is moved and/or renamed to newdir. Otherwise, newdir must be an existing directory not already containing an entry with the same name as the last pathname component of dir. In this case, dir is moved and becomes a subdirectory of newdir. The last pathname component of dir is used as the name for the moved directory. refuses to move dir if the path specified by newdir would be a descendent directory of the path specified by dir. Such cases are not allowed because cyclic sub-trees would be created as in the case, for example, of which is prohibited. does not allow directory to be moved.
