[Solved] Help with a script to gzip/move files
Hi

Please can you help me in writing a script to find files on a specific directory, and of extension "tap" but only of the month of september, gzip and move them to another directory.
Your help will be appreciated.

Yes...
What have you done so far?
Why don't you move the files first then gzip all of them using * ?

I think the issue is identifying just the files from September:
Code:
#! /bin/ksh

BEGIN=$(mktemp)
END=$(mktemp)

trap "rm -f ${BEGIN} ${END}" EXIT

touch --date='09/01' $BEGIN
touch --date='10/01' $END

find "${SOURCEDIR}" -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '*.tap' -newer $BEGIN ! -newer $END -print \
| while read file; do
    echo "${file}"
    gzip -9 "${file}"
    mv "${file}.gz" "${DESTDIR}"
done

rm $BEGIN $END

Why is if I use find, I see only november files, but if I do ls -lrt *.tap I see september files???

LUDWIG:

You are right the issue is september only:
I am going to test your script , although I did not understand the "gzip -9" section. can you explain? if its possible

Because if you run any command through -exec the files names are passed along one by one. So you're not doing ls -lrt *.tap, but
Code:
ls -lrt ./ICTCDMOZ01AGOUT0280620111102151703.tap
ls -lrt ./ICTCDMOZ01AGOUT0280820111102151708.tap
ls -lrt ./ICTCDMOZ01AGOUT0281020111102151713.tap
ls -lrt ./ICTCDMOZ01AGOUT0280920111102151711.tap
ls -lrt ./ICTCDMOZ01AGOUT0281120111102151716.tap
[...]

You're using head, so you're only showing part of the output. Both commands will be returning all the files, but not necessarily in the same order (the ordering options on -exec ls won't apply to find, since it's processing files 1 at a time).

If you want those Sep files why dont you use
Code:
 ll *.tap |grep " Sep "

If you are happy with what you see, then :
Code:
 mv $(ll *.tap | grep " Sep " |awk '{print $9}') newDest/.
