I am looking for this format

Code:

The following files has been moved from /home/zaree to /home/zaree/test
1. a.beta
2. b.beta

So it is about catching multiple items of with beta extension, and why did you name it 300 extension?

As already been mentioned by wport, make the name-sheme of the actual files, and what is used in the code, the same.

How about:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
#	Variables
#
	shopt -s nullglob #to make `("$src_dir"*.271)` works
	# Dirs
	src_dir="/home/zaree/ " 
	dest_dir="/home/zaree/test/"
	# Files
	err_f="/tmp/error.txt"
	mv_f="/tmp/moved.log" #record moved file in case network down
	# email
	email="zaree@xyz.com"
	replyto="<noreply@xyz.com>"
	BODY=""
	date_string="$(date +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')"
	# bools
	dont_move=false
#
#	Preparations
#
	touch "$err_f" "$mv_f"
	if [ ! -d "$src_dir" ] || [ ! -d "$dest_dir" ]
	then	BODY="Error: One or both directory $src_dir/$dest_dir does not exist"
		echo "$BODY" | tee -a "$err_f" 
		dont_move=true
		BODY+"\n"
		#exit 1
	fi
#
#	Get files
#
	if ! $dont_move
	then	files_array=("$src_dir"*.beta)
		for thisFile in "${files_array[@]}"
		do
			mv -f "thisFile" "$dest_dir" 2>>"$err_f"
			if [ 0 -eq $? ]
			then	msg="Successfully moved"
			else	msg="Failed to move"
			fi
			msg="$msg $thisFile"
			echo "$msg" | tee -f $mv_f
			BODY+="$msg\n"
		done
	fi
#
#	Send the mail
#
	echo| mailx -s "$BODY" "$email" 2>>"$err_f"

Hope this helps (hth)

DESCRIPTION

       The e2cp command copies files to/from an e2fs filesystem from/to the machine's filesystem.

OPTIONS

       -0     Input lines terminated by a null character.

       -a     Absolute	directory  names  - create directories instead of just copying into the destination. Only valid for copying into an ext2fs

       -d dest_dir
	      Destination of files to be copied. May be in the ext2fs filesystem or the host filesystem.

       -G gid Set the default group to gid.

       -p     Preserve host file attributes (permissions, times, etc.) when copying files.

       -P mode
	      Set the file permissions (ie 755, 666).

       -s src_dir
	      The source of the files to be copied.
