This is a homework question. I have a shell script in which i am creating a folder structure .Then i am giving a call to java program where i am extracting data from a table writing it into the file and want to place the file to that folder. The folder structure changes everyday. as let suppose the folder structure like Logs/Month/day and i am creating that everyday. How can i place the data file to the particular folder.

Ex. I have a_20131216.log to be placed in logs/12/16 a_20131215.log to be placed in logs/12/15

  • you could use mv (move) or cp (copy) command in bash script to move / copy file or in java you can generate same directory path and move/copy it to that location Directly using `FileUtils` http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/apidocs/org/apache/commons/io/FileUtils.html – jmj Dec 17 '13 at 17:53

Look at

  • the date command to create the directory name.
  • the -p option to mkdir
