Hi,
I have written this shell script:
fl=`ls -1lrt $mylist | grep '\.xml$' | awk '{print $9}'`
echo $fl (1)
for i in $fl
do
for dir in $mylist
do
if [ -f $dir/$i ]
then
echo $dir/$i >> tmp (2)
fi
done
done

The mylist contains some directory names. The satement (1) gives the sorted list of files from multiple directories. the satement (2) lists the same files with their full path. But here I get some duplicate lines in tmp file when two files with same name in different directories. Due to some condition I have no clue to remove the duplicate entries bcoz it is unknown that which entry should be removed. The above script works fine if there is no multiple file ahving same name.
I have written the above code to find the list of files from multiple directories which are sorted by the time of their creation irrespective of directories.
so please tell is there any other way to do the same thing.
