Hello,
I supposed that it was working fine but now I see that it's not working as expected.
I am running under ubuntu14.04, trusty.
My plan was to search folderA and all subdirectories and move any txt file to destination folder, folderB :
Now I see a new folder was created ,by another process, under folderA , named folderC and it contains multiple text files but the script does not see txt file.
What could be the correct way?
Many thanks
Boris
