Hi, maybe some scripting genius gonna help me :D I need to move some file from one directory to other with some exclusions. Ex: move files from "/data/product/" to "/data/archives/2005" while the "*.dat" file/dirs stay in the right place. $mv /data/product/* !(/data/product/*.dat) /data/archives/2005
Try: find /data/product -name "*.dat" -prune -exec mv \{\} \ /data/archives/2005 \; You might try using "cp" instead of "mv", just to test it. If it works, then "find /data/product -name "*.dat" -exec rm -rf \{\} \;" to delete the files. Note that the target directory MUST exist before you run the first command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Charter Member of the International Sarcasm Society - - "Yeah, like we need YOUR support!" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
