RE: newbie help /bin/sh read

I tried this out and it worked fine...
Code:
#!/bin/sh

clear

echo "Enter name of file to move:"
read source

echo "Enter destination path and file name:"
read target

if(mv $source $target) then
   echo $source" was successfully moved to "$target
else
   echo "There was a problem..."
fi

exit

RE: newbie help /bin/sh read

use double quotes around the filenames.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Move filename to this"
read filename

mv "filename" "$filename"
exit
