Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Displaying files in a directory Post 302110639 by markjohnlowe on Wednesday 14th of March 2007 08:19:58 AM

Many thanks for your feedback. What are really require is to do something like this:

set files = `ls -a /file_path_of_files_to_process_dir`

set archive = '/archive_dir'

foreach file ( $files )

open an sqlplus connection

exec my_custom_PL/SQL_package.custom_procedure($file)

close sqlplus connection

mv $file $archive

end

Therefore, in this example I wish to pick up files from a different directory and then take the file name and use it in a parameter call to a custom PL/SQL procedure and then once processed, move the file to an archive directory. I wish to repeat this until no more files exist. What would be the UNIX code (ignor the sqlplus and PL/SQL component) to retrieve files from another location and then process?
Thanks for your assistance,
Mark
