Full Discussion: Create Year directory, date subdirectory and archive the file
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Create Year directory, date subdirectory and archive the file Post 302150786 by Lakris on Wednesday 12th of December 2007 04:42:12 PM

Well, there are a few things in Your script that I find a bit strange. Do You want to call this script for each file You want to process? Why do You want nanoseconds if they are always static? Don't You just want to check for existence of a file? And there are a few other syntax errors as well (for example DIR is not defined) and some things will work with absolute paths but not relative.

Anyway, strip off some stuff (to make it shorter) and get to the essence of if, try the following. Unless it is important to know if a directory exist or not, just create it when You need it. An example:

Code:
if [ ! $# -eq 3 ]
then
  echo "Usage: $0 <INPUT DIRECTORY> <DEST DIRECTORY> <FILE NAME> "
  exit 1
fi

FILE_SUFFIX=`date '+%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S.000000'`
FINAL_DEST_DIR=$2/`date +%Y`/`date +%Y%m%d`

if [ -f "$1/$3" ] 
then
    echo "File $3 Found in $1, moving it to $FINAL_DEST_DIR/$3.$FILE_SUFFIX"
    mkdir -p $FINAL_DEST_DIR
    mv $1/$3 $FINAL_DEST_DIR/$3.$FILE_SUFFIX
else
    echo "\tError: File $3 Not Found"
fi

Maybe it can help You a bit on the way.

mread

mread(1)						      General Commands Manual							  mread(1)

NAME

       mread - mtools utility to perform a low level read (copy) of a DOS file to UNIX

SYNOPSIS

       mread [-tnm] msdosfile unixfile

       mread [-tnm] msdosfile [msdosfiles...] unixdirectory

OPTIONS

       Preserves  the  file  modification time.  Specifies that a warning is not issued when an existing file is specified as the target file.	If
       this option is not specified, the mread command verifies whether or not to overwrite an existing file.  Specifies  a  text  file  transfer.
       Line terminators are converted to the appropriate format.

DESCRIPTION

       The mread command copies the specified DOS file to the named UNIX file, or copies multiple DOS files to the named UNIX directory.

       DOS  subdirectory  names  that contain the '/' or '' separator are supported.  If you use the '' separator or wildcards, you must enclose
       file names in quotes to protect them from the shell.

       The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:.

RESTRICTIONS

       Unlike DOS convention, the destination directory may not be omitted.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned: Success.  Failure.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables affect the execution of mread: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the  cur-
       rent mtools working directory as established by the mcd command.  If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.

FILES

       Contains  the  name  of	the  current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command.  If this file does not exist, the default
       mtools working directory is A:.  Executable file

SEE ALSO

       Commands:  dos2unix(1), mcd(1), mcopy(1), mdiskcopy(1), mtools(1), mtype(1), mwrite(1), unix2dos(1)
