$myfilepattern_???_$(date +%Y%m%d) is interpreted by the shell as ${myfilepattern_}???_$(date +%Y%m%d).
You must code like this : ${myfilepattern}_???_$(date +%Y%m%d)
The for statement returns the pattern itself if no file are found.
You must test for that pattern.
I am trying to write a script that will look for a file in a directory, then remove it. I need it to loop until it has removed a certain number of files. Is it better to do a repeat or to list each file in a pattern? Files will be numbered like RAF.01.*, RAF.02.*, etc. Thanks, James (6 Replies)
Some simple questions from a simple man.
If i wanted to count the number of files contained within a directory, say /tmp would ls -l /tmp ¦ wc -l suffice and will it be accurate?
second one: How would i check the number of files with a certain string in the filename, in the same directory.

Hi all,
Need some help counting files... :)
I'm trying to count the number of files in a given directory (and subdirectories) which reportedly contains "thousands" of files.
I'm using this:
ls -R | wc -l
However it's been an hour and looks like it's still running; there is no output... (18 Replies)
I am trying to display the output of ls and also print the number of characters in EVERY file name. This is what I have so far:
#!/bin/sh
for x in `ls`; do
echo The number of characters in x | wc -m
done
Any help appreciated (1 Reply)
So I have a loop that stated if a directory exists or not. If it does it prints the number of files within that directory. I use this code...
result=`(ls -l . | egrep -c '^-')`
However, no matter which directory I input, it outputs the number "2"
What is wrong here? (4 Replies)

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
dh_installdeb
DH_INSTALLDEB(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLDEB(1)NAME
dh_installdeb - install files into the DEBIAN directory
SYNOPSIS
dh_installdeb [debhelperoptions]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installdeb is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files into the DEBIAN directories in package build directories with
the correct permissions.
FILES
package.postinst
package.preinst
package.postrm
package.prerm
These maintainer scripts are installed into the DEBIAN directory.
Inside the scripts, the token #DEBHELPER# is replaced with shell script snippets generated by other debhelper commands.
package.triggers
package.shlibs
These control files are installed into the DEBIAN directory.
package.conffiles
This control file will be installed into the DEBIAN directory.
In v3 compatibility mode and higher, all files in the etc/ directory in a package will automatically be flagged as conffiles by this
program, so there is no need to list them manually here.
package.maintscript
Lines in this file correspond to dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) commands and parameters. Any shell metacharacters will be escaped, so
arbitrary shell code cannot be inserted here. For example, a line such as "mv_conffile /etc/oldconffile /etc/newconffile" will insert
maintainer script snippets into all maintainer scripts sufficient to move that conffile.
A versioned Pre-Dependency on dpkg is needed to use dpkg-maintscript-helper(1). An appropriate Pre-Dependency is set in
${misc:Pre-Depends} ; you should make sure to put that token into an appropriate place in your debian/control file.
SEE ALSO debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
