Bash shell script help
Hi everyone, first time poster so I hope you'll be gentle with me. Smilie

I am needing some help to make a script in bash to do the following:


For each file with a name beginning with the string ff_
  • Extract the first line of the file (the date)
  • Change "-" to "/" in the date entry to create a directory path
  • Make the directory
  • Move the file into the new directory
  • Go to the next file


Thank you.
