Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Need help in sorting the file and putting to a different folder Post 303025199 by RudiC on Friday 26th of October 2018 03:55:20 PM

Let me paraphrase your request:
Move exactly one "CM" and one "CL" file to the respective directory (as, once a file has been moved, the directory is not empty any more). You did not specify anything about a sort order. How about
Code:
if ! ls temp/CM/* &>/dev/null ; then  echo mv -v $(ls -rt temp/input/*CM* | head -1) temp/CM; fi 
if ! ls temp/CL/* &>/dev/null ; then  echo mv -v $(ls -rt temp/input/*CL* | head -1) temp/CL; fi

You might want to loop through all file types in a for loop.
