Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

Daily I am getting the updated file.
I have to search for this file in all directories and sub directories.
If the file existed in a particular directory then move this updated file to that particular directory.

If the file is not existed in any of the directories then place this file in a default directory.

1) I am getting the file

Code:

gds_daily.csv

2) File name has to be parameterized

Code:

file_name=$1

3) The file is existed in the directory

Code:

/home/data/gds/gds_daily.csv

4) then the latest file will be replaced in the directory

Code:

/home/data/gds/

5 )I am getting the file

Code:

sos_daily.csv

6) Search for this file in all directories and sub directories
and not found in any of the directories then move to the directory

Code:

 /home/def

Please help me.

Thanks

What have you done so far? ( I numbered so we can discuss on part/from a value... )

Point 3 and 6 need to be more clear...

Hi,

Please find the details.
3)
Let us say the input file is gds_daily.csv.
I have to search for this and the file is already existed in the below directory.
So I have replace the old file with new file
/home/data/gds/gds_daily.csv


6)
Let us say the input file is sos_daily.csv
Search for this file in all directories and sub directories
and not found in any of the directories then place the file sos_daily.csv in the directory
/home/def

Thanks.

Hi Experts,

Could you please help me.

Thanks,

I hardly understand that request. What if more than one file exist in the target directory branch? If

Code:

TGT=$(find /home/data -name $1)
[ -n "$TGT" ] && mv "$1" "$TGT" || mv "$1" "/home/def"

does NOT satisfy your request, rephrase it WAY more eloquently and precisely!
