Hi Scrutinizer , it s moving the files names to other locations but when i open the file to view data it is saying no such file or directory

---------- Post updated at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:08 PM ----------

Code:
if [ -f test.fs ];
then
rm -f test.fs
else
touch test.fs
fi
cat inputfile.txt| while read line
do
test=`echo $line | grep 'abc' | cut -f1 -d'|'`
if [ "$test" == 'abc' ];
then
fname=`echo $line | grep 'abc' | cut -f3 -d'|'`
printf "${fname} \n" >> test.fs
mv current_directory/test.fs  target_directory
echo $line>>$fname
fi
done

but with this i am able to movie all the files to file.fs but it also writing the files in the current directory...i dont want these files to be in current directory...
