Hi All,

Sorry to bother you . Found out the solution to my problem.

Instead of using ls -al |grep ^->>/tmp/fileslist, where I had selected everything , I used this command

ls -al $SOURCE/* |grep ^- |awk '{print $5 " " $9}'>>$tmpfile

And also changed the for loop to while read.
It has worked and looks good.

If you think there is still a better way of doing it.

Your responce & suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Thanx
Smilie Smilie
