    <p>OS: aix shell: bsh</p> <p>Hi, ppl</p> <p>I have two types of files, one type ends with <strong>.pdf.marker</strong> and the other ends with <strong>.pdf</strong></p> <p>There should be always a pair with the same name (only the extensions are different).</p> <p>When I move a <strong>.pdf.marker</strong> file I must also move its corresponding <strong>.pdf</strong> file.</p> <p>I tried something like this:</p> <pre><code>find ${INPUT_LOCATION}/ -name "*.pdf.marker" | xargs -I file mv file ${OUTPUT_LOCATION}/. mv $(basename file .marker) ${OUTPUT_LOCATION}/. </code></pre> <p>Then I read this: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6958689/xargs-with-multiple-commands-as-arguments">xargs with multiple commands as argument</a> and tried something like this:</p> <pre><code>find ${INPUT_LOCATION}/ -name "*.pdf.marker" | xargs -I file {mv file ${OUTPUT_LOCATION}/.; mv $(basename file .marker) ${OUTPUT_LOCATION}/.;} </code></pre> <p>but it still didnt work.</p> <p>I just need to execute 2 commands after xargs.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>Following the proposed answers I got i tried to put just 2 parameters into one move command instead of two separate move commands following xargs.</p> <pre><code>find ${INPUT_LOCATION}/ -name "*.pdf.marker" | xargs -I file mv file $(basename file .marker) ${OUTPUT_LOCATION}/. </code></pre> <p>But now, the <strong>.pdf.marker</strong> is moved first, then when I try to remove the <strong>.marker</strong> from the filename to get the <strong>.pdf</strong> filename i get a warning no such file or directory. </p> <p>Is there another way to get <strong>.pdf</strong> filename string?</p> <p><strong>SOLUTION</strong></p> <pre><code>find ${INPUT_LOCATION} -name '*.pdf.marker' -exec sh -c 'mv $0 `dirname $0`/`basename $0 .marker` $1' {} ${OUTPUT_LOCATION} \; </code></pre> <p>Moved 200 000 files in cca. 25 min. without problems.</p> <p>Thanks everyone who participated with their answers and a <strong>big thanks</strong> goes to you Nahuel Fouilleul!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
