EDI -=- Sample query to select and move transactions

Hi

If you have a bunch of EDI files, you may want to extract only specific transactions and move them to a folder. Here's a sample query. It moves all the PO (850) and the invoices (810) to the folder "MYFOLDER" in my home directory. The dot (.) in the grep represents any characters so this query will works will all delimiters.

find . -type f -exec grep -Rl 'ST.8[15]0' {} \; -exec cp -rf {} ~/MYFOLDER/ \;
