I have a script that downloads a folder.

The folder has a fixed name with an ever changing number as a suffix, e. Egg. fixed_name_450 fixed_name_450.

Each time I run to script the downloaded folder will have a new suffix (new number).

I need to cpcopy a couple of files into this folder but the destination directory will always be different as it's number will always change.

Is there a work around?
