Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting : [: too many arguments in for -f in if Post 302538134 by itkamaraj on Monday 11th of July 2011 11:44:40 PM

you cannot use -f, if you want to use the * in your pattern.

Code:
 
for i in /a/b/c/d/e/K*-*-*-*.s; 
do 
       #Here you can get the files one by one using $i
       mv $i newPath
       [ "$?" -eq "0" ] && echo "$i : File Move -Successful" || echo "$i : File Move -Failed"
done
