How to link multiple files from different subfolder to a new subfolder

Hi Kamaraj,

I have edited a bit of your script base on the directory. Firstly i got the message "nawk: command not found", so i change teh script to awk.But i still run without success.

Below is the script that i run:

Code:

for i in `find /data_drobo/MY_MALAY_BASIN_2011/DATA/2D/CE93/PROFILS/ -type f -name "*.txt"`
do
  #remove parent directory
  subDirPath=`echo $i | awk -F"\/" '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)printf("%s/",$i)}'`
  echo $subDirPath
  #check the command before create link
  echo "ln -s $i /data/archive_data02/MALAY_BASIN_INTERP/DATA/2D/CE93/PROFILS/$subDirPath"
  #ln -s $i /data/archive_data02/MALAY_BASIN_INTERP/DATA/2D/CE93/PROFILS/$subDirPath
done

And below is the error that i got when running the script above:

Code:

awk: warning: escape sequence `\/' treated as plain `/'
