Segregate by suffixed file names using Korn Shell
I have following files at /dir1

Code:
a.csv.20131201
b.csv.20131201
c.csv.20131201
d.csv.20131201
a.csv.20131202
b.csv.20131202
c.csv.20131202
d.csv.20131202
.......................
.......................
.......................
.......................

I need to move these files to another location say /dir2 with yyyymmdd as subdirectories using shell script.
i.e in /dir2 I will have below subdirectories and
Code:
20131201
20131202
..............
..............

These should have respective a.csv.yyyymmdd,b.csv.yyyymmdd,c.csv.yyyymmdd and d.csv.yyyymmdd.


Could you please help me to achieve this using Korn Shell?

Try
Code:
for file in /dir1/*
do
   filename=$(basename $file)
   destDir=$(echo ${filename} | awk -F. '{print $3}')
   [ ! -d /dir2/${destDir} ] && mkdir -p /dir2/${destDir}
   cp $file /dir2/${destDir}/.
done

Using shell builtins:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

for file in dir1/*
do
        mkdir -p "dir2/${file##*.}"
        mv "$file" "dir2/${file##*.}/"
done

Thanks.
After moving all the files from the dir1 to dir2 if I run the script again it fails.

Maybe that is because the dir1 is empty and there is no more files to process.

Can you post what the error is.
