I want to copy jar and war files present inside a directory to destination
The condition here is if there are no jar present inside dir it should copy only war’s and vice versa
Any suggestions on how this can be done using cp command?
Thank you
>Solution :
Something like this would work in bash:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
shopt -s nullglob
jar_files=( directory/*.jar )
war_files=( directory/*.war )
if [[ ${#jar_files[@]} -eq 0 && ${#war_files[@]} -gt 0 ]]; then
cp "${war_files[@]}" destination/
elif [[ ${#jar_files[@]} -gt 0 && ${#war_files[@]} -eq 0 ]]; then
cp "${jar_files[@]}" destination/
else
echo "No jar or war files found!"
fi
Save the jar and war files in respective arrays, and then see if they have 0 elements or not and copy the other if so.
