Shell Programming and Scripting

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Pls find my Q in the bottom---------------------------------------------
#!/bin/ksh

#|
#| Usage: . scripts/run_all.ksh < scripts/run_all.txt
#|
#| This script executes sql loader for all
#| flat file input to staging tables, then
#| extracts successful and discarded record
#| counts, and finally zips the data and moves
#| it into a backup directory with the date
#| in the filename.

#| --thw 1/12/05

. .profile
export ORACLE_SID=AHP2DD
while read filename;do
sqlldr parfile=$filename.par
grep -E -i "records read|successfully|skipped|rejected|discarded" log/$filename.log >> log/run_all.log
echo "STATISTICS FOR INPUT FILE $filename" >> log/statistics.log
grep -E -i "records read|successfully|skipped|rejected|discarded" log/$filename.log >> log/statistics.log
echo "END" >> log/statistics.log
#
# build the backup file name
#
j1=`date | cut -c 5-7,9-10,12-13,15-16`
#
# zip and move the data
gzip data/$filename.TXT
mv data/$filename.TXT.gz backup/$filename$j1.TXT.gz
done
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The script is working till gzip but the 'mv' is not getting executed and throws the Error:

Usage: mv [-i | -f] [--] src target
or: mv [-i | -f] [--] src1 ... srcN directory.

help needed,

Thanks,

try enclose "

Code:

   mv "data/$filename.TXT.gz" "backup/$filename$j1.TXT.gz"

as output of `date | cut -c 5-7,9-10,12-13,15-16`
is resulting spaces in between ....

That Worked.U right,I missed the double quotes.
