Confirm before delete.
I have a script that archive files then delete.How do Its working fine,however,before I perform the delete operation,I want to verify that indeed the FILE is in the path of folder I want to archive.

For example,I have a path /A/B I want all files in B to be archived,the scripts lists all the file then archive them. Now I want to take each file to be deleted,check if the file is in B folder really, then delete it.

Thanks

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

BIN=/interface/backup/dbmig/

age=$1

directory="$2"

[ "$directory" = "" ] && directory=.

cd "$directory" || exit 1

from=`$BIN/today -$age`


cd $BIN
for i in `cat filestoarchive.txt`
do
cd $i
done

find . -mtime 18 | grep -v '.tar$' | $BIN/dttmfilter | awk '$1<="'$from'"{ print;};' |

while read d t f
do
   [ -d $f ] && continue
   opt=u
   [ -w $d.tar ] || opt=c
   tar ${opt}f $d.tar $f && touch -r $f $d.tar && rm -f $f 
done
