So i am trying to create a script that will do several things, but first i need to copy stuff.

I need to copy all files from directory A to B using a user input that will specify the files to be copied based on a serial number or part of one.

I.e. After user types the sn “###” and chooses the folder X or Y, i want the all files in the folder with Test_1_051724###.txt to be copied to directory B.

Here is what i have so far. In the end i need to grab the files out of a linux pc connected via eathernet, but I can change the addresses later once I figure out what im doing wrong with the copy bit.

I have been able to create a dir and copy files when I input “test” but any time i use a number I doe not copy. I tried a few things and haven’t been able to figure out what im doing wrong or missing.

Some guidenc would be great.

Thank you.
