find command doesn't work - linux

Question

I'm trying to find and copy files using find, but using parameter from file.
#!/bin/bash
function copyFiles(){
echo "find $1 -name $2 -exec cp "{}" $3 \;"
find $1 -name $2
find $1 -name $2 -exec cp "{}" $3 \;
}
FILECONFIG="/home/backupScript/pathConfig.txt"
DIRDATE=$(date '+%Y-%m-%d');
DIRSCRIPTS="/home/backupScript/"
while IFS='' read -r line || [[ -n "$line" ]]; do
#echo "Text read from file: $line"
set -- "$line"
IFS=","; declare -a ELEMENT=($*)
DAT1="${ELEMENT[0]}"
DAT2=""${ELEMENT[1]}""
DAT3="${ELEMENT[2]}"
PATHTO=${ELEMENT[2]}/$DIRDATE/
if [ ! -d $PATHTO ]; then
mkdir $PATHTO;
fi
echo "$DAT2"
copyFiles $DAT1 $DAT2 $DAT3
find $DAT1 -name "$DAT2" -exec cp "{}" $DAT3 \;
done < "$FILECONFIG"
FILECONFIG="/home/backupScript/pathConfig.txt"
DIRDATE=$(date '+%Y-%m-%d');
DIRSCRIPTS="/home/backupScript/"
while IFS='' read -r line || [[ -n "$line" ]]; do
#echo "Text read from file: $line"
set -- "$line"
IFS=","; declare -a ELEMENT=($*)
DAT1="${ELEMENT[0]}"
DAT2=""${ELEMENT[1]}""
DAT3="${ELEMENT[2]}"
PATHTO=${ELEMENT[2]}/$DIRDATE/
if [ ! -d $PATHTO ]; then
mkdir $PATHTO;
fi
echo "$DAT2"
copyFiles $DAT1 $DAT2 $DAT3
find $DAT1 -name "$DAT2" -exec cp "{}" $DAT3 \;
done < "$FILECONFIG"
and the only line in my file pathConfig.txt is:
/root/test/,'*.txt',/home/bucket/backupDev/test
When I run it. It does work but trying
find /root/test/ -name '*.txt' -exec cp {} /home/bucket/backupDev/test \; than is an output in my script.
In terminal It's work the last line.

The problem is the quotes around '*.txt' in the pathConfig file. This will make the find command only match names that begin and end with a ' character. Quotes aren't processed after expanding variables, they're inserted literally into the command line.
So change the line in the file to:
/root/test/,*.txt,/home/bucket/backupDev/test
You should quote the variables when you use them, though.
#!/bin/bash
function copyFiles(){
echo "find $1 -name $2 -exec cp "{}" $3 \;"
find "$1" -name "$2" -print -exec cp "{}" "$3" \;
}
FILECONFIG="/home/backupScript/pathConfig.txt"
DIRDATE=$(date '+%Y-%m-%d');
DIRSCRIPTS="/home/backupScript/"
while IFS='' read -r line || [[ -n "$line" ]]; do
#echo "Text read from file: $line"
set -- "$line"
IFS=","; declare -a ELEMENT=($*)
DAT1="${ELEMENT[0]}"
DAT2="${ELEMENT[1]}"
DAT3="${ELEMENT[2]}"
PATHTO=${ELEMENT[2]}/$DIRDATE/
if [ ! -d "$PATHTO" ]; then
mkdir "$PATHTO";
fi
echo "$DAT2"
copyFiles "$DAT1" "$DAT2" "$DAT3"
find "$DAT1" -name "$DAT2" -exec cp "{}" "$DAT3" \;
done < "$FILECONFIG"
