Bash to copy file 3 times and rename based on another file
In the below bash I am trying to copy the only text file (always only one) in /home/cmccabe/Desktop/list/QC/metrics.txt and rename each of the 3 text files according to /home/cmccabe/Desktop/test/list.txt using lines 3, 4 ,5. This format (that is list.txt) is always 5 lines. Thank you .
/home/cmccabe/Desktop/test/list.txt
Code:
analysis done using v1.5 by cmccabe at 02/08/17 12:19:08 PM
patients analyzed:
00-0000_Last-First
11-1111_LastName-FirstName
22-2222_LastLastName-FirstFirstName
/home/cmccabe/Desktop/list/QC (always a single text file with data in it)
Code:
metrics.txt
Code:
linesToSkip=2
{
for ((i=$linesToSkip;i--;)) ;do
read
done
files=( /home/cmccabe/Desktop/list/QC/metrics.txt )
i=0
while read -r new_name; do
mv "${files[$i]}" "$new_name"
(( i++ ))
}
done < /home/cmccabe/Desktop/test/list.txt
