UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

If your version of mkdir doesn't support the -f option you can replace this line:

Code:

mkdir -f ../test2/${file}

with:

Code:

mkdir ../test2/${file} > /dev/null 2>&1

I fix the error now
and it works thanks alot
but what i wanna do that i have already those directories
and i just want to take those files and put it in those directories that i have the directories is already created i want to put those files in those directories
i want every file search for his directory and put a copy into that directory
and all files i have begin with 10_10 and i want him to search after the last _
like i have 10_10_11
thanks for your help and your time
It will be a greate honor of you help me in that code
thanks

Sorry, it's not clear to me what the problem is.

What should be the name of the directory if the filename is 10_10_11?

the name of the directory should be the same as the name of the file 10_10_11
but i haved already those directories i don't want to make directory i want to put those files into those directory i have 3 files

Code:

10_10
10_10_11
10_10_11_12

i want to put them in exist directory thart i have on my system

Code:

10_10
10_10_11
10_10_11_12

i want to make like a loop to search after the last "_" like 10_10"_"11
if he found th 11 put it in the same directory have in last 11
and same for 10_10_11_12
if he found in the llast _12 put it in the same directory 10_10_11_12 have the end _12
thanks for your time and help

So every directory should have 1 file in it? The script should work IMHO.

yea every file should be in his directory

but i have already those directories i want the file to search for his directory not to create a directory and put in it the file

It shouldn't be a problem to use the mkdir command even if the directory exists.
