bash script for copying files between directories -

-

i writing following script copy *.nzb files folder queue them download.

i wrote following script 

#!/bin/bash  #this script copies nzb files downloads folder hellanzb queue folder.  ${down}="/home/user/downloads/" ${queue}="/home/user/.hellanzb/nzb/daemon.queue/"   in $(find ${down}  -name  *.nzb) cp ${a} ${queue} rm *.nzb done

it gives me following error saying:

hellanzb.sh: line 5: =/home/user/downloads/: no such file or directory hellanzb.sh: line 6: =/home/user/.hellanzb/nzb/daemon.queue/: no such file or directory

thing directories exsist, have right access them.

any nice.

please , thank you.

variable names on left side of assignment should bare.

foo="something" echo "$foo"

here more improvements script:

#!/bin/bash  #this script copies nzb files downloads folder hellanzb queue folder.  down="/home/myusuf3/downloads/" queue="/home/myusuf3/.hellanzb/nzb/daemon.queue/"  find "${down}" -name "*.nzb" | while read -r file     mv "${file}" "${queue}" done

using while instead of for , quoting variables contain filenames protects against filenames contain spaces being interpreted more 1 filename. removing rm keeps repeatedly producing errors , failing copy first file. file glob -name needs quoted. habitually using lowercase variable names reduces chances of name collisions shell variables.

if files in 1 directory (and not in multiple subdirectories) whole script reduced following, way:

mv /home/myusuf3/downloads/*.nzb /home/myusuf3/.hellanzb/nzb/daemon.queue/

if have files in multiple subdirectories:

find /home/myusuf3/downloads/ -name "*.nzb" -exec mv {} /home/myusuf3/.hellanzb/nzb/daemon.queue/ +

as can see, there's no need loop.
