Hi in my shell script I have to do this

1. there is a file called testing.txt in /home/report directory

If the file size is 0(zero) and date is today's date, then I have to print
"Successful" else "Failed".

2. There is a file called number.txt which will have text only one line like this

20080324|0000040768

the first 8 digits is date. I have to check if that date is today's date, if so print 40768.

I mean I have to trim 0000040768 to 40768.


Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

G.
