How to create a simple copy script?

Shell Programming and Scripting
21

ran, but the results are the same. The copy function did not occur.

Enterprise:~ user$ awk -F'[/.]' '{print "cp " $0 " " $0 "/../"$(NF-1)".dat"}' infile 
cp /Users/config/backup/install.deploy /Users/config/backup/install.deploy/../install.dat
cp /Users/config2/backup/install.deploy /Users/config2/backup/install.deploy/../install.dat
cp /Users/config3/backup/install.deploy /Users/config3/backup/install.deploy/../install.dat
22

sorry, 2 levels up:

nawk -F'[/.]' 'NF{print "cp " $0 " " $0 "/../../"$(NF-1)".dat"}' myFile
23

I tried the same command above, and it did not copy.

Any ideas?

I tried to change the above code to:

awk -F'[/.]' 'NF{print "cp " $0 " " $0 "/.."$(NF-1)".dat"}' infile

But still the issue is not resolved.

Any ideas by anyone?
