Moving Files
Hi There,
I am trying to move files, the file is present in this location:
/iAm4Free/test/generate/txt/information.txt
I need to move it to:
/iAm4Free/test1/generate/txt/information.txt
The only difference is the "test" is replaced with "test1". But the constraint is. The parent location the file exists in the same path specified but in the second location only /iAm4Free/test1/ exists but the remaining part "generate/txt/information.txt" dosen't exist. How can I create those directories automatically and move.
I know that mkdir -p creates directories, but is there something shorter in the mv command which does this automatically for you or any other simple way... any help i'll appreciate...
regards,
iAm4Free
