Filesystems, Disks and Memory

I have a directory MYDIR
In which i have several directories 1,2,3,4....
Now, In each of these directories i have several files a.dat, b.dat, c.dat, d.dat.....

MYDIR
----1
---------a.dat
---------b.dat
---------c.dat
---------d.dat
----2
---------a.dat
---------b.dat
---------c.dat
---------d.dat
----3
---------a.dat
---------b.dat
---------c.dat
---------d.dat
.
.
.
.
.
Task: to find the zero byte .dat files and move them to a different directory


how do i do this!!!


my pseudo approach:


#!/bin/sh

source= "/root/MYDIR/"
dest= "/root/MYDIR/log"

foreach i($source)
do
find *.DAT -size 0c -exec mv '{}' ${dest} \;
done


appreciate any ideas

You don't need a 'foreach'. The find command will suffice. Something like this should work:

Code:

find $source -name "*.dat" -size 0 -exec mv {} $dest \;

... but are you sure you want to be running this as root? Just be careful... .

thank you for the quick response
appreciate your time
