Al my html files reside here :
/home/thinkcode/myfiles/html/
I want to move the newest 10 files to /home/thinkcode/Test
I have this so far. Please correct me. I am looking for a one-liner!
ls -lt *.htm | head -10 | awk '{print "cp "$1" "..\Test\$1}' | sh
725
List files, displaying the most recently created or changed files first, by using the ls -t command.
To copy files and directories use the cp command under a Linux, UNIX-like, and BSD like operating systems. cp is the command entered in a Unix and Linux shell to copy a file from one place to another, possibly on a different filesystem.
ls -lt *.htm | head -10 | awk '{print "cp " $9 " ../Test/"$9}' | sh
