Hi,

I would like to define a script in order to update a file with the last updated records:

I wrote :

#!/bin/sh

YEAR=$(date +%Y)
MONTH=$(date +%m)
DAY=$(date +%d)

COMM=/usr/bin/comm

for file in * ;
do
if [[ "$file" = DPSTY*_$YEAR$MONTH$DAY* ]] ; then
FILE=${DPSTY}
UNIQUE=Unique_${FILE}
COMMON=Common_${FILE}
(${COMM} -3 $FILE $file) > $UNIQUE
(${COMM} -12 $FILE $file) > $COMMON
cat $UNIQUE $COMMON > $FILE
fi
done

Instead of updating the DPSTY file I got :

usage:comm [ -[123] ] file1 file2
usage:comm [ -[123] ] file1 file2

I don't know haw to do it.

Thanks
