Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Help deciphering FTP get perl script Post 302161009 by bbbngowc on Wednesday 23rd of January 2008 10:30:26 AM
Old 01-23-2008
You're right I guess it was an error. I tried to run the script again and I'm getting just looking for 1/22/08. This is not what I need. I need a script that will:

1. Connect and Log into a remote FTP Server
2. Look for the latest file called "This_Sample_File_01-22-08.txt"
3. Change directories on my local box to /this/dir/for/file This_Sample_File_01-22-08.txt
4. Get the file "This_Sample_File_01-22-08.txt"
5. Close the connection.

NAME
x2sys_merge - Merge an updated COEs tables SYNOPSIS
x2sys_merge -Amain_COElist.d -Mnew_COElist.d DESCRIPTION
x2sys_merge will read two crossovers data base and output the contents of the main one updated with the COEs in the second one. The second file should only contain updated COEs relatively to the first one. That is, it MUST NOT contain any new two tracks intersections (This point is NOT checked in the code). This program is useful when, for any good reason like file editing NAV correction or whatever, one had to recompute only the COEs between the edited files and the rest of the database. -A Specify the file main_COElist.d with the main crossover error data base. -M Specify the file new_COElist.d with the newly computed crossover error data base. OPTIONS
No space between the option flag and the associated arguments. EXAMPLES To update the main COE_data.txt with the new COEs estimations saved in the smaller COE_fresh.txt, try x2sys_merge -ACOE_data.txt -MCOE_fresh.txt > COE_updated.txt SEE ALSO
x2sys_binlist(1), x2sys_cross(1), x2sys_datalist(1), x2sys_get(1), x2sys_init(1), x2sys_list(1), x2sys_put(1), x2sys_report(1) GMT 4.5.7 15 Jul 2011 X2SYS_MERGE(1gmt)
