I am new to linux. I am trying to copy files from one path to another path. I have a text file which has all names of files in the following pattern:
file-1.txt
file-2.pdf
file-3.ppt
....
I created a .sh file with the following code:
#!/bin/bash
file=`cat filenames.txt`;
fromPath='/root/Backup/upload/';
toPath='/root/Desktop/custom/upload/';
for i in $file;
do
filePath=$fromPath$i
#echo $filePath
if [ -e $filePath ];
then
echo $filePath
yes | cp -rf $filePath $toPath
else
echo 'no files'
fi
done
The above code is copying only the last file name from the text instead of all to the destination path.
Please help.
