Full Discussion: Copy files based on specific word in a file name & its extension and putting it in required location
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Copy files based on specific word in a file name & its extension and putting it in required location Post 302984123 by Chubler_XL on Thursday 20th of October 2016 08:28:54 PM

This might get you started:

Code:
find MUM/HYR -type f -name "*hyr*" \( -name "*.db" -o -name "*.md" \) -print0 |
  xargs -r -0 cp -t TUM/HYR

cd MUM/HYR
for file in *hyr*.txt
do
   [ -f "$file" ] || continue
   dd if="$file" of="${file}.tmp" conv=edcdic
   mv "${file}.tmp" ../../TUM/HYR/"$file"
done
cd ../..

The [ -f "$file" ] || continue line above traps when not *hyr*.txt files exist in the source folder.
-r option of xargs stops running the cp command when input is empty (no files detected by find command).

halibut

halibut(1)							   Simon Tatham 							halibut(1)

NAME

       halibut - multi-format documentation formatting tool

SYNOPSIS

       halibut [options] file1.but [file2.but ...]

DESCRIPTION

       halibut reads the given set of input files, assembles them into a document, and outputs that document in one or more formats.

       The  available  command-line options can configure what formats Halibut should output in, and can also configure other things about the way
       Halibut works.

OPTIONS

       The command-line options supported by halibut are:

       --text[=filename]
	      Makes Halibut generate an output file in plain text format. If the optional filename parameter is supplied,  the	output	text  file
	      will  be given that name. Otherwise, the name of the output text file will be as specified in the input files, or output.txt if none
	      is specified at all.

       --html[=filename]
	      Makes Halibut generate one or more output files in HTML format. If the optional filename parameter is supplied, there will  be  pre-
	      cisely  one  HTML  output file with that name, containing the whole document. Otherwise, there may be one or more than one HTML file
	      produced as output; this, and the file names, will be as specified in the input files, or given a set of default names starting with
	      Contents.html if none is specified at all.

       --winhelp[=filename]
	      Makes  Halibut  generate an output file in Windows Help format. If the optional filename parameter is supplied, the output help file
	      will be given that name. Otherwise, the name of the output help file will be as specified in the input files, or output.hlp if  none
	      is specified at all.

	      The  output help file must have a name ending in .hlp; if it does not, .hlp will be added. A secondary contents file will be created
	      alongside the main help file, with the same name except that it will end in .cnt (for example output.cnt, if the main file  is  out-
	      put.hlp).

       --man[=filename]
	      Makes  Halibut  generate an output file in Unix man page format. If the optional filename parameter is supplied, the output man page
	      will be given that name. Otherwise, the name of the output man page will be as specified in the input files, or output.1 if none	is
	      specified at all.

       --info[=filename]
	      Makes  Halibut  generate an info file. If the optional filename parameter is supplied, the output info file will be given that name.
	      Otherwise, the name of the output info file will be as specified in the input files, or output.info if none is specified at all.

	      By default, unless configured otherwise using the cfg{info-max-file-size}{0} directive, the info output will be split into multiple
	      files. The main file will have the name you specify; the subsidiary files will have suffixes -1, -2 etc.

       --pdf[=filename]
	      Makes  Halibut  generate	an  output file in PDF format. If the optional filename parameter is supplied, the PDF output file will be
	      given that name. Otherwise, the name of the output PDF file will be as specified in the input files, or output.pdf if none is speci-
	      fied at all.

       --ps[=filename]
	      Makes  Halibut  generate	an output file in PostScript format. If the optional filename parameter is supplied, the PostScript output
	      file will be given that name. Otherwise, the name of the output PostScript file will be as specified in the  input  files,  or  out-
	      put.ps if none is specified at all.

       -Cword:word[:word...]
	      Adds  a  configuration directive to the input processed by Halibut. Using this directive is exactly equivalent to appending an extra
	      input file to the command line which contains the directive cfg{word}{word}{word...}.

       --input-charset=charset
	      Changes the assumed character set for input files from the default of ASCII.

       --list-charsets
	      Makes Halibut list character sets known to it.

       --list-fonts
	      Makes Halibut list fonts known to it, either intrinsically or by being passed as input files.

       --precise
	      Makes Halibut report the column number as well as the line number when it encounters an error in an input file.

       --help Makes Halibut display a brief summary of its command-line options.

       --version
	      Makes Halibut report its version number.

       --licence
	      Makes Halibut display its licence (MIT).

MORE INFORMATION

       For more information on Halibut, including full details of the input file format, look in the full manual. If this is not installed locally
       on your system, you can also find it at the Halibut web site:
