Below is the script i have but i would like simplified but still do the same job.
I need a script to copy files not directories or sub-directories into a existing or new directory. The files, if have the same name but different extension; for example 01.doc 01.pdf then only copy the .doc file.
If the file names from different directories are the same the file needs to be copied and renamed; for example test/01.doc, pic/01.doc --> pic/01_1.doc
This is what i have...
#! /bin/bash
# echo "this file is for copying directory files"
INP=$1
OUT=$2
# creates the variables
if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
echo "usage is param1 = input directory name"
echo "usage is param2 = output directory name"
echo "exiting"
exit
fi
if [ ! -d $1 ]; then
echo "$1 is not a directory please reinput"
echo "exiting"
exit
fi
if [ -d "$OUT" ]; then
echo "output directory exists"
else
echo "about to create output directory"
mkdir $OUT
fi
# checks for a valid Input directory, if this does not exist it will exit the script
# checks for a valid output directory if this does not exist it will create a new directory
IFILE="GETFILES";
FINDFILE="FINDFILE";
WORKDIR="WORKDIR";
mkdir $WORKDIR;
#get all the input files into one file
#this file can then be read and each file copied to an output dir
find $INP -name "*.doc" > $FINDFILE
find $INP -name "*.pdf" >> $FINDFILE
find $INP -name "*.PDF" >> $FINDFILE
while read -r line;
do
cp $line $WORKDIR
done < "$FINDFILE"
##searches the input directory and searches the heirarchal directory lookind for.doc files a inserts them into workfile and then repeats for the .pdf .PDF ####
INP=$WORKDIR;
echo " the inout dir should be working as $INP"
###this changes the name of original input directory to workdir ####
IFILE="$OUT/GETFILES";

# count how many files are already in the input directory
# now read this output file line at a time
while read -r line;
