I am new to unix and not sure how to execute this. My requirement is to
Script should check for .dat files in Source folder.
Check for specific text (645559 or 508659) in first line of each file.
If 645559 exists, move the files to folder SUN_ID_645559
If 508659 exists, move the files to folder SUN_ID_508659
I am able to achieve this using java for windows platform. In jave we can hard code source and target directories. Write if conditons to search for the number in the first line of a file and if exists we can call a method to move this file to its corresponding folder.
I am trying to achive the same using unix as the requirement is to move the files in Unix and prefered solution is to use unix script. Not sure how to set variables for source and target folders? If condition for check for specific text in the first line and move the file to specific folders accordingly.
