Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Bash to move specific files from folders in find file Post 302981651 by cmccabe on Friday 16th of September 2016 01:15:04 PM

The below is all most working, there are sub-directories in each folder and the find and cp doesn't need to search these, as the .bam files are all in the main folder. Thank you Smilie.

I am getting an error:
Code:
cp: cannot stat ‘/home/cmccabe/nfs/exportedReports/Auto_user_S5-00580-5-Medexome_66_030/plugin_out/coverageAnalysis_out.39/IonXpress_007/scraper/link.summary.bam': No such file or directory

--- this is a subdirectory that can be excluded from the find, but I am not sure how.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

cd /home/cmccabe/nfs/exportedReports
find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | cut -c 3- | awk -F _ 'NF > 1' > out.txt

DATE=`date +%-m-%-d-%Y` 
        mkdir -p /home/cmccabe/Desktop/s5/$DATE

a=/home/cmccabe/nfs/exportedReports;DEST="/home/cmccabe/Desktop/s5/$DATE";
while read line; do find $a/$line -name "*.bam" -exec cp {} $DEST \;
done < out.txt
