Automatization of file movement with a bash script

48 views Asked by At

I would like to make a simple bash script where the goal is to make it run another script and move the output files from that script to a different folder.

The problem is , that this somescript.pl creates a file like this: customfile-Withcontent-202305231159.tar.gz

As you can see there is a fixated prefix customfile-Withcontent- but there is a suffix for the name with the actual date.

What I would like to achieve is to make a bash script, which some kind of autocompletes the actually created file, and moves it to the desired folder, somehow like this:

For example:

./somescript.py  #this script creates a file #first I create the file
mv customfile-Withcontent *pressing TAB or smth* so it completes the filename /Desiredfolder/Desiredfilename.tar.gz #moves the file with renaming.

The somescript.py is not editable, anyone has any suggestions?

I tried to edit the somescript.py but it made wrong everything, and it doesnt run so I think that wouldnt work. I would like to automate a work, there are 200 files to move.
