shell - Create directories by reading file as a input in bash -


i have input file temp.txt content following

  2013-08-13 /data/psg/lz/inventory_forecast/load_date=2013-03-01   2013-08-14 /data/psg/lz/inventory_forecast/load_date=2013-03-02   2013-08-15 /data/psg/lz/inventory_forecast/load_date=2013-03-03   2013-07-30 /data/psg/lz/inventory_forecast/load_date=2013-07-30   2013-07-31 /data/psg/lz/inventory_forecast/load_date=2013-07-31   2013-08-16 /data/psg/lz/inventory_forecast/load_date=2013-08-13 

i need iterate on file , create directories date specified @ begining of line , move data in directory specified after date particular directory..

for example: first line need

mkdir "2013-08-13"  

and then

mv /data/psg/lz/inventory_forecast/load_date=2013-03-01/  2013-08-13 

i trying

  cat temp.txt | while read line ;  mkdir "echo $line | awk '{print $0}'"; done; 

tried use line array using

  cat temp.txt | while read line; linearray=($line) echo $line, ${linearray[0]}, $linearray[1];  done; 

but none of these seem work.. idea how approach problem ?

you can read lines 2 variables. example:

while read -r date path # reads lines of temp.txt 1 one,                          # , sets first word variable "date",                          # , remaining words variable "path"      mkdir -p -- "$date"  # creates directory named "$date".     mv -- "$path" "$date" # moves file "$path" variable "$date folder" done < temp.txt   # here set input of while loop temp.txt file 

the -- option used if file starts - not interpreted option, treated literally.

the -p or --parents makes mkdir command not trow error if directory exists, , make parent directories if necessary.
