Full Discussion: Moving files from one directory to another based on 2 date variables
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Moving files from one directory to another based on 2 date variables Post 302659371 by alister on Wednesday 20th of June 2012 07:50:08 PM

Assuming that there is only one file per date, that the only dates in filenames in that directory occur in files of interest, and that there aren't other files whose names may sort within the date range, the following may be of use:

ls | sed -n "/$Date_Previous/,/$Date_Current/p; /$Date_Current/q" | xargs -I_ echo mv _ /iis_data/destination/

If the output is acceptable, remove the word "echo" to actually move files.
