Want to mv files form one folder to another by date
Hi All
Looking for some help here I want to query a file and mv all files that are older than seven days to an archive folder.
the archive folder already exists but I am having trouble with the date comparison.
list file is as follows
eg
dd2302071334.txt
dd2302071358.txt
dd2303061655.txt
dd2306061111.txt
dd2308061147.txt
dd2308061422.txt
dd2308061427.txt
dd2308071447.txt
dd2308071546.txt
dd2401081059.txt
dd2401081131.txt
dd2405061224.txt

I am trying to mv everything older than seven days, this will be run on a cron every night.
