Shell Programming and Scripting

Fortunately, it's working (for me).

EDIT: OK, let's be constructive. WHAT "is not working", and how? Please post data to work upon (execution logs, error messages). For me, this was the output:

Code:

mkdir -p NewDir123
mv c_g_se123_gb.ph_pl_s.t NewDir123
mkdir -p NewDir1
mv c_g_se1_gb.ph NewDir1
mkdir -p NewDir1
mv c_g_se1_gb.ph_pl_s.t NewDir1
mkdir -p NewDir721
mv c_g_se721_gb.ph NewDir721

And, echoes removed, did exactly what was requested.

Thanks, I am not sure what was the problem as in my pc there was no any directory creating with the code. So here is what I did

Code:

for FN in *.ph*; do TMP=${FN%_${FN#*_*_*_}}; NDTMP="NewDir${TMP#${TMP%%[0-9]*}}"; echo mkdir -p "$NDTMP"; echo mv "$FN" "$NDTMP"; done > find_n_move.sh

chmod +x find_n_move.sh 

Added #!/bin/bash to file 

./find_n_move.sh

So its done. Many Thanks. May be you can also let me what was the problem with

Code:

find -name '*.ph' -exec sh -c 'mkdir -p New_dir"$c" && cp "$@" New_dir"$c"' _ {} +

Of course no directory was created nor was a file moved - the commands were echoed to the screen for control purposes. Redirecting to find_n_move.sh and the running that is one option. One other would be to read my post#6 to its entirety and remove the echoes as proposed.

To your second question: What do you expect people to do with the little info you give? May I repeat myself (post#8): WHAT "is not working", and how? Please post data to work upon (execution logs, error messages.
Aside: your construct cp "$@" New_dir"$c"' _ {} seems a bit weird...
