 |
|
Hello,
I'm a newbie to Bash. If someone could help me out with this it will be great.
I need to write a script to be able to go through all the directories (contained in home directory) ,names starting with "ms" and for each of such directories found create a new directory inside with the name "msdir"
Also please someone suggest a good website with lots of basic Bash scripts to help me learn how to program.
Thanks |

You don't need a bash script, just the find command
| Code: | | find ~ -type d -name 'ms*' -exec mkdir -p {}/msdir ';' |
See man find for more details.
