Why i can't get while loop to work if its in the same shell script as the find?
so i got this little code here, it need to find all the files greater the 10kilobyte and move them into an other directory
read mam
find "$mam" -type f -size +10k > size.txt
while read line
do
mv "$line" /home/patakinorbert/Desktop/prk1
done < size.txt
linux bash shell ubuntu

You don't need a shell script. A single find command will both search for files and move them:
read mam
find "$mam" -type f -size +10k -exec mv {} /home/patakinorbert/Desktop/prk1 ;
The words between -exec and ; are a command that is executed for every file found where {} is replaced by the name of the found file.
