Find, make and move file based on username
hi there,
i'm new to UNIX( just 3month used), i found my new box contained alot of files and directories in /home/box/ i've tried to search script in tis forum and found many of them but, i don't know how to combine them to make a script, although using pipes. my tasks are: 1) to scan user dir in /home/user/ - i'm used ls-ld /home/$user/ , $user must be key in. 2) Then, grouping all files in scanned dir(in task 1), into group of extensions such as ".txt",".sh",".dat" i used the ls -l | awk 'BEGIN {FS="."} {print $2}'>index.txt 3) Based on index.txt, i'm going to make directories referring to those extensions eg. /home/user/txtExtension /home/user/datExtension/ then move all of files to their extension dir. i'm sorry, i can't find the way to create this script. i tried all my best to combine all above simple script but, no.3 is quite hard for me. is there any UNIX-Shell expert have ideas, solutions, or even example scripts to guide me Regards, Helmi. |
