Find and Move Files up One Level
Hi All,
So I have another question. I'm trying to search for files with a certain extension and then move all of them up one level in the folder hierarchy.
So something like this:
original: /path/to/file/test.txt
after: /path/to/test.txt
I had some great help recently with another issue here: and its very related
https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...uppercase.html
Could someone maybe point me in the right direction?
Thank You
edit: I always forget: Solaris 10
