Full Discussion: look for file size greater than "0" of specific pattern and move those to another directory
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers look for file size greater than "0" of specific pattern and move those to another directory Post 302667625 by methyl on Friday 6th of July 2012 02:36:04 PM

To get you started, first check that you can find the files with a command like this:
Code:
find /dir/subdir -type f -name 'abc_*' -size +0 -print

Please post you Operating System and version and what Shell you use.

As @elixir_sinari implies there could be a pure Shell approach using file pattern matching and the test -s command . If you need to search the tree, find is preferred.

I you need further help, please remember to describe your directory tree.
