move files not ending in .sh
Hi
I have a list of files under a directory , for eg

Code:
drwxr-xr-x   2 beauser  bea            6 Mar 16 15:43 security.20110316.stress
-rw-r--r--   1 beauser  bea        41063 Mar 16 17:30 config.xml.20110316_1
-rw-r--r--   1 beauser  bea      423930597 Mar 16 23:29 jra_managed1_20110316.jfr
-rwxr-xr-x   1 beauser  bea          431 Mar 18 10:12 startServer.sh
-rwxr-xr-x   1 beauser  bea          562 Mar 18 10:17 stopServer.sh.old

I want to list /move files NOT ending in .sh to be moved to a folder called backup, so startServer.sh should not be moved . However I do not want to move directories, nor do I want to list or move files under subdirectories of current folder. I have been looking into prune and maxdepth but cant get prune to work the way I want and I dont see the maxdepth option in the man pages.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Try this - replace echo with actual move when your happy it's working:

Code:
for file in *
do
   [ -f "$file" ] || continue
   case "$file" in
       *.sh)
          # Not to be moved
       ;;
       *)
          echo mv $file ./backup
       ;;
   esac
done

One line of command is enough:

Code:
mv `ls -F | grep -v '.sh$\|/'` path/of/backup

Code:
$ ruby -rfileutils -e 'Dir["*"].select{|x|!x[/\.sh/] && !test(?d,x)}.each{|y| FileUtils.move(y,"/tmp") }'

Hi pkabali,

A option with find(go to desired folder):
Code:
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*[!.sh]" -exec sh -c 'exec mv -f "$@" /home/user/backup' X '{}' + # it works only in directory (not subdirectories)

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*[!.sh]" # This part finds and prints files without sh extension.
 -exec sh -c 'exec mv -f "$@" /home/user/backup' X '{}' + # This part executes the copy of files found previously


Hope it helps.

Regards.
