I need to move different files from different folders to a new folder using a command line. The files share the same format .asc: for example, there are files 20file1.asc, 20file2.asc and 20file3.asc existing in folder1, folder2 and folder3 respectively. I simply need to move the .asc from all folders to new folder which is folder4. Each folder is named following a yyyymmdd scheme.
Thanks
I would use simple script for that, like this one:
for x in {folder1,folder2,folder3}; do mv $x/*.asc folder4/; done
This script assumes you're in path that has folder1,folder2,folder3 in it. You can tune it up to your needs.
For all folders in specific place you can do:
ls -1 >> file
for x in `cat file`; do mv $x/*.asc folder4/; done
But be aware, that ls -1 will also contain files and if there are also files in that folder, you will get errors for these files, saying that path does not exist.
