Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Guys,

i want copy the all files another direcotry after filtering the command.
and tried as like below...it's not working.

Code:

   ls -ltr|awk '{print $9}'|grep "images\|\.htm"|cp *.* /home/oracle

Thanks

Code:

ls -lrt | awk '{ print $NF}' | egrep ".jpeg|.htm" | xargs -n1 -i cp {} /home/oracle

Note , to search for images, I used .jpeg here, change it as per your requirement.

Thanks...

Sorry for the confusion, i want filter the .images directory ( Direcory name like this index_1154.images) direcory and .htm files in the list of directory.
i did wrong in the above filter. Please can you correct me.

You mean, you want to "search for a directory name and copy it" ? if so,

Code:

ls -lrt | awk '{ print $NF}' | egrep ".images|.htm" | xargs -n1 -i cp -R {} /home/oracle

try find command if you want jpeg or html files being moved to /home/oracle.

Code:

find ./images -type f \( -name "*.jpg" -o -name "*.html" \) -exec 'cp' '{}' '/home/oracle/'

@panyam thank for feeback..

in a directory it contains list of directories names, .htm and .txt files. and i want filter the directories like name as (index_3898.images,index_3899.images so on......).

I need to filter the .images directories and .htm files and moved to /home/oracle
means moved to entrie direcotry and.html files to /home/oracle

Thanks,

Did you try with the command I have given in my previous post. Is it not working?
