It ran but none of the files were copied over.
This is the actual script looks like
Code:
while read FILE; do
  find /home/neigroup/Desktop/neigroup/NEI\ Docs/GOLDPROD/PICTURES/  -name "$FILE.*" -type f -exec cp {}  /home/neigroup/Desktop/neigroup/andy/ \;
done < gold.txt

Both Directories are correct. All folders and files are chmod to 777.

It is not what I meant. I want to see the output of command file with gold.txt as argument.
