Hi thank you for your advice below is an example of the $NOW variable

Code:

2018-07-03-10H-34M-40S

Yes I am using an a nsf mount.
When I open another shell and I can copy these files around the network but not from within the current ksh shell.
I even had a hard time getting the files to move to their final home under their current directory.

I will take your suggestions and clean up the script and get back to you with the results.
Thanks again!

Oh almost forgot, the double single quotes work with the i option for sed, they force it to not create a bak file.

Hi I made the changes you suggested but still I had little luck.
I created variables for the paths and used a command substitution that copies from one drive to the other and used echo to read everything into a bash shell which finally gave me what I needed

Code:

PrinergyHomeVar="/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/PrinergyHome.tigroup.ca"
AraxiFunelVar="/Volumes/AraxiVolume_HW07376_J/Jobs/funnel_Create_Job_Impo/HotFolders/Funnel_CreateImpos_05_22_18"
CopyXmlVar=$(cp '$PrinergyHomeVar'/XML-Library/'$NOW'*.xml  '$AraxiFunelVar')

Code:

echo CopyXmlVar | bash

Thank you for your assistance again
