how to move files - Shell Programming and Scripting

monicasgupta · #1 (**permalink**) 03-14-2008

Message broker is creating multiple files on my unix box.

Files are like *.txt, *.dat, *.csv etc.

I can pass following parameters to my script,

$SourceFileDir, $TargetFileDir, $FileName.

I wrote a script which can move one files from $SourceFileDir to $TargetFileDir after assigning $FileName=abc.txt.

But how will I move multiple extension files to $TargetFileDir?

thanks
monica

try this:

Code:

 case ${FileName##*.} in
     txt|dat|csv) 
          mv $SourceFileDir/$FileName $TargetFileDir/ ;;
  esac

(Bash)
