Thanks Ravi for your help, One thing i wanted to know can you let me know why you care creating the directory for other files apart from fish, because i already have source directory created only for fish file i need to create directory with date folder
Code:
dir/fis/date
Code:
then if [[ ! -d " path " ]] ; then mkdir " \
path " echo " path " got created successfully. ; \
And also I think I can your previous code that file successfully copied /not copied / file not present in input directory message in same function
Hello Master_Mind,
That was to make sure in case directory is not present it should create it else it will simply copy it. Let me know if you have any queries on same.

Thanks ravi and one more thing just wanted to add regarding the echo messages hope I can add in same function. Once again is there a way to achieve in doing in loops instead of going with awk.
And one more thing Ravi, my files in input direcortry has mango_1.txt,apple_1.txt. you code will check exact file name in config file which fail in copying. I need to take if the file name contains like apple* and take the latest file only to copy
I tried something like this
Code:
conf=$1
filepath=/input/
output=/output/
for file in `cat $confFile`
do
file_temp=$(ls -t1 $filepath| grep -i $file | head -n 1)
echo $file_temp
if [ "$file" == "apple" ]
then
if [ -f $filepath$file_temp ]
then
echo "Copying $file_temp file to location"
cp $filepath$bt_file $output/ap/
if [ "$?" = "0" ]
then
echo "Successfully copied"
else
echo "failed copying"
fi
else
echo "No apple file in $filepath "
fi
elif [ $file == "mango" ]
then
if [ -f $filepath$file_temp ]
then
echo "Copying $file_temp file to location"
cp $filepath$file_temp $output/man/
if [ "$?" = "0" ]
then
echo "Successfully copied"
else
echo "failed copying"
fi
else
echo "No mango file in $filepath "
fi
fi
done

Reason: code tried
As per your request following is in pure shell(uses GNU date too in it). Could you please try following and let me know if this helps you.
Code:
cat check_files.ksh
DIR=/tmp
SEARCH_DIR=`pwd`
DATE=$(date +%Y"/"%m"/"%d)
DATE_PREVIOUS_MONTH=$(date --date='-1 month' +%Y"/"%m"/"%d)
EXCEPTION_GET_FILE () {
for var in "$@"
do
exception_file=$var
if [[ -f $SEARCH_DIR"/"$exception_file ]]
then
if [[ -d $DIR"/"$var"/"$DATE_PREVIOUS_MONTH ]]
then
mkdir $DIR"/"$var"/"$DATE
cp -r $DIR"/"$var"/"$DATE_PREVIOUS_MONTH/* $DIR"/"$var"/"$DATE
else
echo "Previous month directory " $DIR"/"$var"/"$DATE_PREVIOUS_MONTH " is NOT present for exception file named " $exception_file
if [[ -d $DIR"/"$var ]]
then
mkdir $DIR"/"$var"/"$DATE
else
mkdir -p $DIR"/"$var"/"$DATE
fi
cp $exception_file $DIR"/"$var"/"$DATE
CHECK_FILES_COPIED_STATUS $DIR $var"/"$DATE $exception_file
fi
else
echo "File named " $exception_file " itself NOT found in directory " $SEARCH_DIR
fi
done
}
CHECK_FILES_COPIED_STATUS () {
DIR=$1
dir=$2
REPLY=$REPLY
if [[ $? == 0 ]]
then
echo "File named " $REPLY " has been successfully copied to directory named " $DIR"/"$dir " now."
else
echo "please check seems there is some issue with file copy."
fi
}
GET_FILE () {
for var in "$@"
do
input=${var%,*}
dir=${var##*,}
if [[ -f $SEARCH_DIR"/"$input ]]
then
while IFS= read -r -d $'\0'
do
if [[ ! -d $DIR"/"$dir ]]
then
mkdir $DIR"/"$dir
cp $REPLY $DIR"/"$dir
CHECK_FILES_COPIED_STATUS $DIR $dir
else
cp $REPLY $DIR"/"$dir
CHECK_FILES_COPIED_STATUS $DIR $dir
fi
##echo $REPLY
done < <(find $SEARCH_DIR -iname "${input}*" -print0)
else
echo "File named " $input " NOT found in directory " $SEARCH_DIR
fi
done
}
## Calling normal files to be copied here..
GET_FILE apple,app mango,man
## Calling exception files to be checked and copied from last month's date to today's date....
EXCEPTION_GET_FILE fish
Above script's output will be as follows.
Code:
./check_files.ksh
File named /singh_is_King/prince/R. Singh/apple_1.txt has been successfully copied to directory named /tmp/app now.
File named /singh_is_King/prince/R. Singh/apple has been successfully copied to directory named /tmp/app now.
File named /singh_is_King/prince/R. Singh/apple12111 has been successfully copied to directory named /tmp/app now.
File named /singh_is_King/prince/R. Singh/apple1.txt has been successfully copied to directory named /tmp/app now.
File named /singh_is_King/prince/R. Singh/mango has been successfully copied to directory named /tmp/man now.
File named /singh_is_King/prince/R. Singh/path/mango has been successfully copied to directory named /tmp/man now.
File named /singh_is_King/prince/R. Singh/mango1211.txt has been successfully copied to directory named /tmp/man now.
File named /singh_is_King/prince/R. Singh/mango1211 has been successfully copied to directory named /tmp/man now.
File named fish itself NOT found in directory /singh_is_King/prince/R. Singh
So above code will look for all the files with similar names like mango, mango1211.txt, mango1211 etc. Also there are 2 functions in above script named GET_FILE and EXCEPTION_GET_FILE so as per name suggests itself function named EXCEPTION_GET_FILE for files like fish etc. So here is how you need to run them, we need to pass arguments like EXCEPTION_GET_FILE exception_file_name and GET_FILE file_name,it's directory_name another_file_name,it's directory_name and so on. Also for exception files I am not checking similar names, I am exactly checking the same name as exception file name only.
Kindly check it and let me know if this helps you.
NOTE: I placed few test files with similar names into my test directory for testing purposes. Also exception function doesn't have argument of it's directory name so if you need it you could take a look to normal function one and could try to take same method into exception function too.
Thanks,
R. Singh
