Hi!
I am trying to create a script tha copies files from one directory to the other on the same system, like this:
for JOB in `ls -lrt | awk '{if ($6 == "Aug" && $8 != 2010)print $9}'`
cp -p /data/xxxx/yyyy/zzzz/processed/$JOB /data/xxxx/yyyy/zzzz/processed/Ago11/
done
But I am having the following error:
Syntax error at line 2 : `cp' is not expected
Please can you help

SolutionHi:
The problem is that 'do ... done' needs to define the loop. You are missing the 'do'.
for JOB in `ls -lrt | awk '{if ($6 == "Aug" && $8 != 2010)print $9}'` do cp -p /data/xxxx/yyyy/zzzz/processed/$JOB /data/xxxx/yyyy/zzzz/processed/Ago11/ done
Regards!

Re: syntax error at line
Or if you like, you can put the do on the for line:
for JOB in $(ls -lrt | awk '{if ($6 == "Aug" && $8 != 2010) print $9}'); do
cp -p /data/xxxx/yyyy/zzzz/processed/$JOB /data/xxxx/yyyy/zzzz/processed/Ago11/
done
