I have been trying to execute the below command by changing directory and then copying contents of one directory to another by doing some file name manipulations in between. However this isnt working since as soon as the statement completes it goes back to the original folder. Can someone help in telling me how to change a directory in a script so I can execute subsequent steps within it using and modifying a variable through the steps.
This works fine from command line, however gives bad substitution error from the script because of the issue explained above
Basically check for all files with name like CAT_TURNAROUND_201811120_075221_3.done in the folder ABC/DEF/*.done, then get all the files starting with just this part CAT_TURNAROUND_201811120_075221from this directory/ABC/DEF/ copied to /ABC/EDG/
Will really appreciate a solution. I have been trying to figure this out and checked various forums and tried alias, function etc. But it isn't working.
