Full Discussion: Move folder once it is "ready"

Move folder once it is "ready"
I want to move the folder once it stops receiving data. The sign to tell when the folder is ready is the number of files in it. Here, once the folder has 27 files, it tells me it is "ready". An example, S46 has 62 subfolders with similar pattern S46_005, S46_007 ---> S46_127. Some may not have 27 files, so leave those. Eventually all the 62 subfolders will be grouped into a master folder S46. My BASH code:
Code:
for j in S46_*
do
a=$(ls ${j} | wc -l) 
if ( $a == 27) 
then 
mv ${j} S46
fi
done

I always got error:
Code:
27: command not found!
27: command not found!
...

It seems related to the variable $a. What did I miss with my code? Thanks!
