Folders are not moved in subfolder: something weird is going on with cygwin's version of find?-CodePudding

I don't understand if something weird is going on with cygwin's version of find.

In Z:\ANIME E CARTONI\# DA SISTEMARE ED ESTRARRE _ DVD\# 22 I have these folders

folder1
folder2
folder3

folder1 and folder2 have a size > 4mb so in theory they should be moved to the over40gb folder but this does not happen

#!/bin/bash
z="/cygdrive/Z/ANIME E CARTONI/# DA SISTEMARE ED ESTRARRE _ DVD/# 22"
target="/cygdrive/Z/ANIME E CARTONI/# DA SISTEMARE ED ESTRARRE _ DVD/# 22/over40gb/"
size="3M"
mkdir -p "$target"
find "$z" -maxdepth 1 -type f -size  "$size" -exec mv "{}" "$target" \;

EDIT: this solution works

z=/cygdrive/C/Users/Administrator/Desktop/test/
mkdir -p /cygdrive/C/Users/Administrator/Desktop/test/over40gb/
for x in $(ls -1 --color=never -d ${z}*/); do
  y=$(du --max-depth=0 --block-size=1M $x | awk '{print $1}')
  if [ $y -ge 4 ]; then
    mv ${x} /cygdrive/C/Users/Administrator/Desktop/test/over40gb/
  fi
done

But it return me an error message

mv: cannot move '/cygdrive/C/Users/Administrator/Desktop/test/over40gb/' to a subdirectory of itself, '/cygdrive/C/Users/Administrator/Desktop/test/over40gb/over40gb'

but when I try to use path with spaces like

z="/cygdrive/Z/ANIME E CARTONI/# DA SISTEMARE ED ESTRARRE _ DVD/# 22"
mkdir -p "/cygdrive/Z/ANIME E CARTONI/# DA SISTEMARE ED ESTRARRE _ DVD/# 22/over40gb/"
for x in $(ls -1 --color=never -d ${z}*/); do
  y=$(du --max-depth=0 --block-size=1M $x | awk '{print $1}')
  if [ $y -ge 4 ]; then
    mv ${x} "/cygdrive/Z/ANIME E CARTONI/# DA SISTEMARE ED ESTRARRE _ DVD/# 22/over40gb/"
  fi
done

it return me this error

CodePudding user response：

You need to double-quote your variables expansions and filter out the directory over40gb. Also, using ls is no good.

z="/cygdrive/Z/ANIME E CARTONI/# DA SISTEMARE ED ESTRARRE _ DVD/# 22"

mkdir -p "$z/over40gb" || exit 1

for dir in "$z"/*/
do
    [ "$z/over40gb/" = "$dir" ] && continue

    size=$(du -sk "$dir" | awk 'NR == 1 {print $1}')

    [ "$size" -ge 4096 ] && mv "$dir" "$z/over40gb/"
done
