selecting files with text extension
I have a script that read some values from the properties file and move files from source folder to destination folder based upon the modification time of the files created (N configurable days), rite now it pick up all types of files from source folder and put it into destination folder the script is working perfect......

below is the structure of properties file
********************************************

Code:
#This is the source directoy from where the files will be picked up
SrcDirectory=/home/p2000/sxs137/ODS_Project/temp


#This directory path should end with a slash(/)
DestDirectory=/home/p2000/sxs137/ODS_Project/test/


#Configurable N days value is assumed here of 3 days
Days=3

below is the code of the main script file
****************************************
Code:
#!/bin/sh 

. /home/p2000/sxs137/scripts/archievefilemovement.config

awk -F = '/Days=/{days=$2}/SrcDirectory=/{src=$2}/DestDirectory=/{dest=$2}END{print days, src, dest}' \
archievefilemovement.config |while read DAYS INDIR OUTDIR

do  

  find $INDIR -type f -mtime -$DAYS -exec mv {} $OUTDIR \;


Now I want to add extra functionality in the above properties file that it should pick the text files from the source folders as earlier it was picking up up all the files now it should pick up only the text files that is the main properties file would be now.....


Code:
#This is the source directoy from where the files will be picked up
  SrcDirectory=/home/p2000/sxs137/ODS_Project/temp
  
  
  #This directory path should end with a slash(/)
  DestDirectory=/home/p2000/sxs137/ODS_Project/test/
  
  
  #Configurable N days value is assumed here of 3 days
  Days=3

  #the pattern of the files
   SourcefilePattern=*.txt


Now there would be changes in the main script file also please guide how the main script file would be now ..!!Thanks in advance Smilie

@nks342.. Please come up with what you have tried earlier because it would be more easier for us to help you..

Thanks for the co-operation .. Anyway below is your expected code.

Code:
#!/bin/sh 
. /home/p2000/sxs137/scripts/archievefilemovement.config
awk -F = '/Days=/{days=$2}/SrcDirectory=/{src=$2}/DestDirectory=/{dest=$2}/SourcefilePattern=/{pattern=$2}END{print days, src, dest, pattern}' \
archievefilemovement.config |while read DAYS INDIR OUTDIR PATTERN
do  
  find $INDIR -name "$PATTERN" -type f -mtime -$DAYS -exec mv {} $OUTDIR \;
done
