inotifywait example

edit: modified parameter "-n 1" to the "head" command

for this example I'm assuming text files:
to avoid confusions long lines are splitted with \

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -ne 2 ]
    then
    echo "$0 <src dir> <dst dir>"
    exit
fi

clear

inotifywait $1 -qmre CLOSE_WRITE \
--format='%f' | while read WHICHONE ; do  
   if [ $? != 0 ]; then exit; fi;
   LINESELECTED=$(head -n 1 $WHICHONE | \
grep CONDITION)

if[ $LINESELECTED -eq 1 ] then
   cp $1/$WHICHONE $2
fi

done
