You are only showing files from today and yesterday in your example. Is that because older files have been moved and compressed, or are older files present, but just not shown in your example?
Do you want to COPY and compress or MOVE and compress? (I.e., do you want to leave an unmodified version of the file where it is while creating a compressed version of the file somewhere else, or do you just want to create a compressed version of the file somewhere else and remove the original file?)
What is the name of the directory containing these files?
What is the name of the directory in which you want to create the compressed copies of your files?
What utility do you want to use to compress your files? (Some possibilities include compress, pack, and zip.)
What do you mean by yesterday? (Are you looking for files that are 24 to 48 hours old when you run the script? Or, are you looking for files that were created between midnight at the start of yesterday and midnight at the start of today?)
Sorry about code tags, actually I didn't know how do it.

[Jacky]: I want to COPY and compress files in a single command line using zip/gzip or any other command. I dont want to disturb oringinal files in the source directory (/dump/traces/...)
What is the name of the directory containing these files?
[Jacky]:
Source Dir = /opt/TGS/traces
Target Dir = /dump/old_traces
What is the name of the directory in which you want to create the compressed copies of your files?
[Jacky]: /dump/old_traces
What utility do you want to use to compress your files? (Some possibilities include compress , pack , and zip .)
[Jacky]: zip
What do you mean by yesterday? (Are you looking for files that are 24 to 48 hours old when you run the script? Or, are you looking for files that were created between midnight at the start of yesterday and midnight at the start of today?)
[Jacky]: For example, below you can see the list of files. So now I want to copy/compress all files of 3rd Feb only (i.e. yesterday).

You'll have to note that I'm not a big fan of 1-liners. I MUCH prefer code that is easier to read, understand, and maintain.
You haven't said what operating system and shell you're using nor what timezone is in use in your location. The following code works with a recent version of the 1993 Korn shell on OS X. Other methods to get yesterday's date (some simpler, some harder, and some a lot harder) can be used on other systems, using date, perl or other utilities:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
SRC_DIR='/opt/TGS/traces'
DEST_DIR='/dump/old_traces'
cd "$SRC_DIR"
ls -l RtpTrcError* | grep -F "$(printf '%(%b %e)T\n' "1 day ago")" |
while read _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ name
do zip "$DEST_DIR/$name.zip" "$name"
done
Did you consider zip's -t and -tt options? man zip:
Quote:
-t mmddyyyy
--from-date mmddyyyy
Do not operate on files modified prior to the specified date,

-tt mmddyyyy
--before-date mmddyyyy
Do not operate on files modified after or at the specified date

I need to copy and compress files in a directory in single line of command. I am able to copy and gzip files in one command but not directory. Command that I am using for copying directory is below :

Is there a way to copy a file and compress it at the same time?
I realize the file can be copied and then compressed, but I was wondering if it's possible to do it in a one-line command and for that matter, if it would be more efficient to perform the operation with a one-line command?
Thanks. (5 Replies)
