unix script

ian walker_1 — Fri, 02 Sep 2005 08:02:08 GMT

I have ten files, each with output of diff command, e.g.

110a111
> ./dir1/filename
> ./dir1/filenameB
178a190
> ./dir1/subdir/filename
> ./dir1/subdir/filenameB

I want to check each of these files, and essentially copy all the files to an "old" area and then remove them. Each of the ten files need to produce a separate output file.

Any clues of what script to fit this?

Hi

you don't say much about the output filename (how to recognize them !).
Also, instead of copy and delte why not move them ?

for fln in $(ls *.diff_out)
do
mv $fln $DEST/.
done

DEST is a vaiable for the target directory
