script for Finding files in a folder and copying to another folder
Hi all,
I have a folder '/samplefolder' in which i have some files like data0.txt, data1.txt and data2.txt.
I have to search the folder for existence of the file data0.txt first and if found have to copy it to some other file; next i have to search the folder for existence of file data1.txt and if found have to copy it to some other file. This has to continue for any number of files (like till data1000.txt).
Please provide some shell script to do the same.
Thanks,
