I am writing a script that looks for files. I need to know if there is a placeholder character when doing this. I know that you can user a wildcard (*) character, but I would prefer to be a bit more specific. When I get files in a specific directory, I know part of the name, but not the rest and I'm interested in determining if a file was placed there today. The naming convention for the files are:
INCOME-ccyymmdd-hhiissT.zip
where:
cc is the century
yy is the year
mm is the month
dd is the day
hh is the hour
ii is the minute
ss is the second
The problem is that I can figure out the day, but I have no earthly idea what the time will be! As and example, I could get a file that is named:
INCOME-20020819-142030T.zip
This would be a file that was sent on 8/19/2002 at 2:20:30 pm. What I have in my script is:
Code:
if [ -f /export/home/INCOME-20020819-*T.zip ]
then
echo "Found the file."
echo
else
echo "ERROR: Could not find file."
exit
fi
What I would like to know is if there is a placeholder so I could make the if statement something like:
if [ -f /export/home/INCOME-20020819-$$$$$$T.zip ]
where the $$$$$$ represents the time (just a placeholder, not a wildcard).
