cp: cannot stat: No such file or directory
Hi there, I need some help with cp files from one directory into several others. The code is as follows:
SUB=`ls src_directory | wc -l`
OUT_LOOP=$(($SUB / $MK_NUMS))
IN_LOOP=$(($SUB % $MK_NUMS))
COUNT=$MK_NUMS
while [[ $COUNT -gt 0 ]]
do
mkdir dst_directory$COUNT
ls -1 src_directory | head -$OUT_LOOP |
while read file
do
cp $file dst_directory$COUNT
done
COUNT=$(($COUNT-1))
done
However when I run the code I get the following error message ($COUNT times):
cp: cannot stat `<filename>': No such file or directory
Please help!!!

if (stat(dirname,&statbuf) == -1) {
fprintf(stderr,"Unable to run stat() command\n");

DESCRIPTION
The ngettext program translates a natural language message into the user's language, by looking up the translation in a message catalog,

was found.
Display native language translation of a textual message whose grammatical form depends on a number.
-d, --domain=TEXTDOMAIN

-e enable expansion of some escape sequences
-E (ignored for compatibility)

-V, --version

[TEXTDOMAIN]

MSGID MSGID-PLURAL
translate MSGID (singular) / MSGID-PLURAL (plural)
COUNT choose singular/plural form based on this value
If the TEXTDOMAIN parameter is not given, the domain is determined from the environment variable TEXTDOMAIN. If the message catalog is not
found in the regular directory, another location can be specified with the environment variable TEXTDOMAINDIR. Standard search directory:
/usr/share/locale
