Hi there,
I have a "while" loop ;
1. I need to create a folder at each run ( folder with different names)

Code:

mkdir $i // i can be a counter to have different name each time ?!!! not sure

2.I should then move all the files of type ".SEED" to the created folder. (copy > paste & delete from the current directory)

Code:

rm *.SEED  //need help I do not know how to transfer the files

your help is appreciate

hi, to create a directory with a unique name at each run, "mkdir $i.$$" will append the PID to $i, and if $i is a counter, you'll get 1.PID, 2.PID ...
As for copy-> paste -> delete from source, you've just described the mv command.

Not sure I understood completely what you wanted though...
