Hi All, I have no idea how else to put the subject. It's weird behaviour.
I'm trying to move a bunch of PDFs which has the words "gentoo" in it into a folder marked as "Gentoo/" and somehow I'm not succedding. (I'm too stubborn to want to do it the cut and paste way in nautilus" $find . -iname gentoo -print ./Gentoo $find . -iname *gentoo* -print ./Email Servers/Setting up Mail under Gentoo.pdf ./Gentoo ./Gentoo/gentoolkit.pdf ./Gentoo Linux rsync Mirrors Policy.pdf ./Cyrus Imapd-Gentoo.pdf ./openMosix Cluster on Gentoo.pdf ./Gentoo chroot.pdf Note : I want to move "gentoo chroot" "openmosix" into the Gentoo/ folder $ls --quoting-style=shell-always | grep -i gentoo.*pdf >pop && mv `cat pop` Gentoo/ mv: cannot stat `\'Cyrus': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat `Imapd-Gentoo.pdf\'': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat `\'Gentoo': No such file or directory $cat pop 'Cyrus Imapd-Gentoo.pdf' 'Gentoo Linux rsync Mirrors Policy.pdf' 'Gentoo chroot.pdf' Why Can't I move them into the Gentoo Folder?? based on the output of "cat pop" it seems like they are formatted properly. (newlines etc) I also tried $for i in `ls --quoting-style=shell | grep -i gentoo.*pdf`; do (echo "$i"; cp "$i" /tmp/popo); done 'Cyrus cp: cannot stat `\'Cyrus': No such file or directory Imapd-Gentoo.pdf' cp: cannot stat `Imapd-Gentoo.pdf\'': No such file or directory Question : 1. How can this made to work?? 2. Using find, is there any way to only restrict it to the current directory and not dive into any directories under the current one? (tried maxdepth but seems like it doesn't work. It'll list down _all_ the files in that directory) $find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -print -name *gentoo* ./fluxbook.pdf ./AWLP-Wireless AP Project-Installation.pdf ./HOWTO Fluxbox.pdf 3. note that my current user is named "gentoo" gentoo users Building Scalable ISPs with open-source softwares.pdf gentoo users Squirrelmail-SpeedWithUW-IMAP.pdf -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
