Tools Copy files with interval
Hi everybody

I am not familiar with UNIX. I have a problem. There is a directory which contains
Run1000.dat
Run1001.dat
Run1002.dat
Run1003.dat
.
.
.
Run6000.dat
I want to copy files from “Run2000.dat” to “Run4060.dat” with interval 20 to another directory. It means I want to copy just:
Run2000.dat
Run2020.dat
Run2040.dat
.
.
.
Run4060.dat
I need a one line command or a script to do it.

Thanks for help.

#!/usr/bin/ksh
typeset -i mSeq=2000
while [[ ${mSeq} -le 4060 ]]; do
  mFName='Run'${mSeq}'.dat'
  cp ${mFName} <your_directory>
  mSeq=${mSeq}+20
done
