Move multiple files
Hi all ..

I am trying :-
Code:
#! /bin/sh
# Archives target file ftp'd to SAP ECC
srcfiles=/usr/dw/apps/work/PROJECT_NEW/SrcFiles/$1/*.txt
tgtfiles=`ls /usr/dw/apps/work/PROJECT_NEW/TgtFiles/FTP/$1/*.txt`

for i in $tgtfiles
do

mv $i  /usr/dw/apps/work/PROJECT_HUDSON/archive/Tgt/$1/$i_`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S`.bkp
done

if [ -e $srcfiles ]; then
exit 15
else exit 0
fi

I get the following when I echo the mv command ..
/usr/dw/apps/work/PROJECT_NEW/archive/Tgt/IE0272/20110106_185552.bkp

It does not pick up the filename to append to the timestamp ..

Any ideas?
