I apologize. I assumed that you had read through the thread that you copied my code from:
Moving files from parent path to multiple child path using bash in efficient way and that you were trying to do something similar, but copying CSV files instead of TXT files. What that thread was doing was to move files from one place in a file hierarchy up one level (removing one intermediate directory in the source path) to another set of pre-existing directories in that same source file hierarchy.
With your latest set of changes to my script, you are apparently trying to move files from
/home/user/pumela to
/home/user/pumela/home/user/pumela and, since
/home/user/pumela/home/user/pumela is not an existing directory, the script exits because there is nothing to do. And, whereas in post #1 in this thread
/home/user/pumela/archive was a target directory; in this latest set of changes to the script, it is some kind of regular file that stores the output produced by the most recently run
cd command???
So, let's go back to step 1! Please forget about the script that you copied and tell us exactly what you are trying to do:
- What directory or directories contain files that you want to move?
- To what directory or directories do you want to move those files?
- Are the files you want to move on the same system as the directory or directories to which you want to move them?
- Is or are the target directory or directories on the same filesystem as the directory or directories that contain the files your want to move?
- Is cygwin (running under some version of Windows) the only system on which you want to run this script? If not, what other systems will you be using to run this script?
PS The title of this thread is "
Issues in Csv file transfer copy from one dir to another". "Move" and "transfer copy" are two different things. Do you want to
move files or do you want to
copy files?

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.
