Background
I have already thoroughly read through this question: Copy a range of fiels and tried most of the answers.
I exported data into a single .json
then split the .json
file into smaller serialized files with 50k lines in each.
$ls
smaller_aaaa smaller_aaak smaller_aaau smaller_aabe smaller_aabo smaller_aaby smaller_aaci smaller_aacs smaller_aadc smaller_aadm
smaller_aaab smaller_aaal smaller_aaav smaller_aabf smaller_aabp smaller_aabz smaller_aacj smaller_aact smaller_aadd smaller_aadn
smaller_aaac smaller_aaam smaller_aaaw smaller_aabg smaller_aabq smaller_aaca smaller_aack smaller_aacu smaller_aade smaller_aado
smaller_aaad smaller_aaan smaller_aaax smaller_aabh smaller_aabr smaller_aacb smaller_aacl smaller_aacv smaller_aadf smaller_aadp
smaller_aaae smaller_aaao smaller_aaay smaller_aabi smaller_aabs smaller_aacc smaller_aacm smaller_aacw smaller_aadg smaller_aadq
smaller_aaaf smaller_aaap smaller_aaaz smaller_aabj smaller_aabt smaller_aacd smaller_aacn smaller_aacx smaller_aadh smaller_aadr
smaller_aaag smaller_aaaq smaller_aaba smaller_aabk smaller_aabu smaller_aace smaller_aaco smaller_aacy smaller_aadi smaller_aads
smaller_aaah smaller_aaar smaller_aabb smaller_aabl smaller_aabv smaller_aacf smaller_aacp smaller_aacz smaller_aadj smaller_aadt
smaller_aaai smaller_aaas smaller_aabc smaller_aabm smaller_aabw smaller_aacg smaller_aacq smaller_aada smaller_aadk
smaller_aaaj smaller_aaat smaller_aabd smaller_aabn smaller_aabx smaller_aach smaller_aacr smaller_aadb smaller_aadl
Goal
I want to copy the files from smaller_aaau
to smaller_aadd
into a new directory in the current directory.
What I've tried:
variations of these as well
cp smaller_aa{au..dd} ./GlobalBuckets
I also tried using bash scripting:
#!/bin/bash
for file in {au..dd};do cp smaller_aa$file ~/Downloads/SPLIT/GlobalBuckets;done;
bash script
error for both methods:
cp: cannot stat 'smaller_aa{au..dd}': No such file or directory
