bash - Problem copying images to backup directory - Ask Ubuntu
i have problem when need copy png , gif images in directory.
i have code:
#!/bin/bash typea="png" typeb="gif" read -p "say directoy" $directory find ~/*.$typea -size +10000k -exec cp -r $directory {}\ find ~/*.$typeb -size +10000k -exec cp -r $directory {}\
the last 2 commands unterminated, , trying copy $directory files... surely not want. also, please quote variables...
i think looking files .gif , .png extensions in ~
on size, want copy directory... in case better ditch assignment of typea , typeb in script , do:
find ~ -iname "*.png" -size +10000k -exec cp -r '{}' "$directory" \; find ~ -iname "*.gif" -size +10000k -exec cp -r '{}' "$directory" \;
or better
find ~ -iname "*.png" -size +10000k -exec cp -r '{}' "$directory" + find ~ -iname "*.gif" -size +10000k -exec cp -r '{}' "$directory" +
if expect lot of results.
