Full Discussion: cp: cannot access
Operating Systems Solaris cp: cannot access Post 302678099 by neutronscott on Friday 27th of July 2012 08:34:54 AM

Firstly, you parse ls. This will fail with filenames containing whitespace. Then it pipe it to wc so you'd just get a count. Seems you've 948 files from Feb, probably..

cp 948 /smartapp/reports/archive_jan_feb_march/ won't work if you've no file named 948. Likely, you would want at least something like

Code:
ls -lrt | awk '$6 == "Feb" { print $9 }' | while read file
do
    cp "$file" /smartapp/reports/archive_jan_feb_march/
done

which still suffers from errors of white space.

with bash you can do something like this.

Code:
touch -t 201201010000 start
touch -t 201204010000 end

for f in *; do
  if [[ $f -nt start ]] && [[ $f -ot end ]]; then
    cp "$f" /smartapp/reports/archive_jan_feb_march/
  fi
done
