moving files

[himacs]

Hi All

m wanted to move files of particular date.
For eg: i want to move files of Jan 10.
i used below command
mv 'ls -lrt|grep 'Jan 10'|awk '{print$9}'' /backup
but it throws error sh: 9: Parameter not set.

Please help me on it.

Regards,

[Hasan Atasoy]

hi

mv `ls -lrt|grep 'Jan 10'|awk '{print$9}'` /backup

"find" has date-time options, and won't be
confused by a file named "Not Jan 10.txt".

Hi,


i am not good at scripting but few thoughts if you get helped...

In the command that is given by you,

is

'ls -lrt|grep 'Jan 10'|awk '{print$9}''


lists the files of JAN 10?

just try check if there is some typing mistake is being made.

try a space between print and $9

'ls -lrt|grep 'Jan 10'|awk '{print $9}''

does this show the files of jan 10 correctly?

Regards
Sujit

Thanks Hasan..
its worked.
thanks once again...

And even better solution than Hasan's is to use $(), it's move visible:
mv $(ls -lrt | grep 'Jan 10' | awk '{print$9}') /backup

Hi :

> i want u list 15 days old files.

I presume by "old" you mean since the file's last _modification_ not last access:

# find . -type f -mtime +15 -exec ls -l {} +

Note that '-type f' limits selection to only files and not files and directories. The '-mtime' is the last modification timestamp. If you truly want a last access timestamp, then use '-atime'. See the 'find()' manpages for more information.

Regards!
