I have an issue with my script. It is sending my original files to the home directory ~/. I want it to send my files to ~/filename2.

I want to have it so that I have both the original files and the copied files with the date backup in the ~/filename2 directory. How would I be able to achieve this?

#!/bin/bash

PROCESSFILE=/scripts/data/filename2.txt

#line = line read from PROCESSFILE #IFS = internal file seperator

while IFS= read line; do if [ -f $line ]; then echo "Rename $line to $line-$( date +'%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M'_backup)" mv $line ~/filename2/$line-$( date +'%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M'_backup)

else echo "Creating $line..." touch $line fi done<$PROCESSFILE
