That's brilliant. Thanks

---------- Post updated at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous update was at 08:00 AM ----------

I am trying to do the copy all in one go rather than one file at a time, by assigning the file name to an array. Is this possible?

Code:
i=0
for x in /home/dir/*.log
do
TXTFile=$(basename $x ".log")
filename=$TXTFile.[^log]
[ -f $filename ] && filearr[$i]=$filename
i=$(($i+1))
done
cp ${filearr[@]} /home/dir/folder/.

With the above code i am not able to get the correct filename into $filename. It always appears as file1.[^log], file2.[^log] etc.

Any way i can get it into an array?

ok, i think i've got it:

Code:
i=0
for x in /home/dir/*.log
do
TXTFile=$(basename $x ".log")
filename=`find /home/dir/ -name ""$TXTFile".*"|grep -v .flg`
[ -f $filename ] && filearr[$i]=$filename
i=$(($i+1))
done
cp ${filearr[@]} /home/dir/folder/.

arch::test::tree

Arch::Test::Tree(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     Arch::Test::Tree(3pm)

NAME

       Arch::Test::Tree - A test framework for Arch-Perl

SYNOPSIS

	   use Arch::Test::Framework;

	   my $fw = Arch::Test::Framework->new;
	   my $tree = $fw->make_tree($dir, $version);

	   my $dir = $tree->add_dir;
	   $tree->add_file($dir);
	   $tree->import;

DESCRIPTION

       Arch::Test::Tree provides methods to quickly build and modify Arch project trees within the Arch::Test framework.

METHODS

       new, root, framework, run_tla, add_file, add_dir, add_link, modify_file, rename_file, rename_dir, remove_file, remove_dir, inventory,
       import, commit.

       new [framework] [path]
	   Create a new Arch::Test::Tree instance for path. This method should not be called directly.

       root
	   Returns the project trees root directory.

       framework
	   Returns the associated Arch::Test::Framework reference.

       run_tla @args
	   Run "tla @args" from the tree root.

       add_file [dir [name [content]]]
	   Add a new file name in directory dir. Fill file with content.

	   dir defaults to the project root ("."). If name is not specified, a unique filename is generated. A default content is generated if
	   none is given.

       add_dir [parent [name]]
	   Add a new directory under parent, or "." if parent is not specified. If name is not given, a unique name is generated.

       add_link [parent [name [target]]]
	   Add a new symbolic link under parent, or "." if parent is not specified. If name is not given, a unique name is generated. If target is
	   omitted, a (probably) non-existing target is generated.

       modify_file file [content]
	   Change files content to content, or append "Has been modified."  if new content is omitted.

       rename_file old new
	   Rename file old to new. Returns new.

       rename_dir old new
	   Rename directory old to new. Returns new.

       remove_file file
	   Delete file and its associated arch id.

       remove_dir dir
	   Recursively delete dir and its content.

       inventory [flags]
	   Returns the inventory as generated by running "tla inventory flags". flags default to "-Bs" if not specified.

       import [summary [log]]
	   Create a "base-0" revision from tree using the summary line summary and log as log text. If tree contains a log file, summary and log
	   can be omitted.

       commit [summary [log]]
	   Commit a "patch-n" revision from tree using the summary line summary and log as log text. If tree contains a log file, summary and log
	   can be omitted.
