Welcome to the forum.

Please be aware that you provided way too little context information to allow people to come up with a meaningful proposal.

  • What be your OS & shell versions?
  • Any condition(s) by which files will be assigned to a target file?
  • Any limitations on the target files?
  • Any preferred tools?
