Greetings,
I have a directory with a ton of files in it. I need to move some of
them to another
directory. Here's what I'm thinking:
ls -tl | grep '1999' | awk '{print "mv " $9 " /home/darryl/test"}'
but it does not 'execute' the mv command. How do I get this cooking ?
BTW, I don't plan on doing this a bunch, so I would preferr Not to
install, learn
perl. Instead, use the shell.
thanks,

PS. If perls the only ticket, then I'll install and learn it.
