I run the command below with great than "1000000000" bytes and see 3 files then that 3 files should go 3 folders (final1, final2 and final3) only. If see more that 6 or 8 files greater than "1000000000" bytes then should go last folder "final5" . Is some kinda script loop through or command to do this? Please help with this task. Thanks

I'm confused.
  1. What do you want to do with files that contain exactly 1000000000 bytes?
  2. If you have 6, 7, or 8 files that contain more than 1000000000 bytes, where should they go? (You have said that the 1st goes in final1; the 2nd goes in final2; the 3rd goes in final3; the 4th goes in final4; the 5th, the 9th, and any more files after that go in final5. But, you never specified a destination for the 6th, 7th, and 8th files that meet your criteria.)
  3. You also said you want a bash script, but the first line of your sample code is #!/bin/ksh Do you really want a bash script, or do you want a Korn shell script?
  4. What operating system and release are you using?

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

dh_movefiles

DH_MOVEFILES(1) 						     Debhelper							   DH_MOVEFILES(1)

NAME

       dh_movefiles - move files out of debian/tmp into subpackages

SYNOPSIS

       dh_movefiles [debhelperoptions] [--sourcedir=dir] [-Xitem] file...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_movefiles is a debhelper program that is responsible for moving files out of debian/tmp or some other directory and into other package
       build directories. This may be useful if your package has a Makefile that installs everything into debian/tmp, and you need to break that
       up into subpackages.

       Note: dh_install is a much better program, and you are recommended to use it instead of dh_movefiles.

FILES

       debian/package.files
	   Lists the files to be moved into a package, separated by whitespace. The filenames listed should be relative to debian/tmp/. You can
	   also list directory names, and the whole directory will be moved.

OPTIONS

       --sourcedir=dir
	   Instead of moving files out of debian/tmp (the default), this option makes it move files out of some other directory. Since the entire
	   contents of the sourcedir is moved, specifying something like --sourcedir=/ is very unsafe, so to prevent mistakes, the sourcedir must
	   be a relative filename; it cannot begin with a `/'.

       -Xitem, --exclude=item
	   Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being installed.

       file ...
	   Lists files to move. The filenames listed should be relative to debian/tmp/. You can also list directory names, and the whole directory
	   will be moved. It is an error to list files here unless you use -p, -i, or -a to tell dh_movefiles which subpackage to put them in.

NOTES

       Note that files are always moved out of debian/tmp by default (even if you have instructed debhelper to use a compatibility level higher
       than one, which does not otherwise use debian/tmp for anything at all). The idea behind this is that the package that is being built can be
       told to install into debian/tmp, and then files can be moved by dh_movefiles from that directory. Any files or directories that remain are
       ignored, and get deleted by dh_clean later.

SEE ALSO

       This program is a part of debhelper.
