Script moving files based on date
Post 302714705 by rockingvj on Friday 12th of October 2012 12:51:02 PM

Its still not working :
$ ./movefiles.sh
mkdir: cannot create 10112012_073952.xls
10112012_073952.xls: File exists
mv: 10112012_073952.xls.xls and 10112012_073952.xls are identical.
Just small question , the code given by you has :
#!/bin/ksh typeset -R4 yy for i in *.xls do echo $i | read m d y y=${y##* } y=${y%%_*} yy=$y dir=$d$m$yy [[ -d $dir ]] || mkdir $dir mv -f "$i" $dir done
echo $i | read m d y y=${y##* } ----------------> I think it should be m y=${y%%_*} ----------------> it should be d yy=$y
Let me know your comments.
