Moving files
I wrote a script which moves files on first in first out basis.
for i in `ls -ltr | grep ^- | head -10 | awk '{print $9}'`
do
mv $i Test/
done
But donno some reason, this is not working on my Linux box. May i know the reason?
Can the above script be done by using positional parameters?
for i in $*
do
cd $1
x = `ls -ltr | grep ^- | head -10 | awk '{print $9}'`
mv $x $2
done
please correct me.

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)
NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...

DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
