TZ=`date +%Z`+24 ;a=`date +%Y-%m-%d`

cd /ednadtu3/u01/pipe/logs
for i in DBMaint.log
do

cat $i | grep $a >> /ednadtu3/u01/pipe/naveed/file12.txt

here i want to grep the 22nd hour of yesterday date, so that my script will grep only 22nd hour of yesterday date .but this script gives me all the hour of yesterday date

Dear ali,

if u dont mind i want to let u know something.
i think u should be more clearly explained about ur problem...and whenever u r facing any problem about scripting plz dont just post it...first do sum traial and error sort of things, searching etc...then it will increase ur knowledge also...still if u not getting the solution then cum up with a proper description of ur problem...
dont get panic with a proble sir...
if possible then plz try to follow my kind request.

Regards,
Pankaj

sorry and lets be friend......... i really didnt meant to offend u

dear...i guess i only suggested few points to u...i really dnt have time to spoile...u r rite that i dint get wat u asked...thats y i told u to be more specific...
now its ur wish...
if u behave like this manner...then i think it will be little bit tough to get hepl,not only from me, from others also...
if i'm not wrong yesterday also sumbody told u same thing rite?
and if i'm not wrong i replied ur problem with solution that was "add date at end of each line"
coz u described properly ur problem...
whatever
its ur wish dude that how u'll behave with others and what u'll do...
i just wana say...
and i think unix forum is not for fighting, its for sharing and gaining knowledge.

good luk for ur future dude

here i want to grep 22nd hour of yesterday date.......but in my script i m grepping all hour. so i thought that there may be a way in which i can assingn value to the hour in date format

i can use this way also

cat $i | grep "$a" | grep "22:" >> /ednadtu3/u01/pipe/naveed/file12.txt

but thats not the way i want it .........it is not flexible
