do
cp "$i" ./NewFolder
done

this script gives error
cp: cannot access 30222_Deal
cp: cannot access Ticket_20071227203.csv


Please help

Look like you don't have permissions to read that files.

Permissions are available,
just try to replicate the scenario mentioned above

You don't have any space in your file names and you don't really need ls

Code:

$ for i in *20071227*; do echo cp $i ./NewFolder;done
cp Ticket_20071227203.csv ./NewFolder
cp Ticket_20071227204.csv ./NewFolder
cp Ticket_20071227205.csv ./NewFolder
$ ls NewFolder/
Ticket_20071227203.csv  Ticket_20071227204.csv  Ticket_20071227205.csv

Your problem is:

actually these are 3 files
1.) 30222_Deal Ticket_20071227203.csv
2.) 30222_Deal Ticket_20071227204.csv
3.) 30222_Deal Ticket_20071227205.csv

and they have spaces in between

oh, yes cp is working without ls
but can any one explian how and why this is creating a problem
