for loop problem
Hi,
I have a directory called logs in which i have the log files.
i have to touch the file before deleting it.
i am doing like this
filestodelete="*.log* *log*"
for files in $filestodelete
do
touch $files $files.$(date +%a)
rm -f $filestodelete
done
touch is not working here,means it is not touching the file before deleting it.
kindly help me out in this.
