shell script reqd - deleting files
I have written a script that deletes files:

Requirement: i need to delete the files and to know how many files are deleted i.e the count of files and even i need to display when the started time of deletion and the ending time of deletion. I need to display these two times.

script:

Code:
export j
j=0
for i in `find /opt/CGEYScripts -name "core*" -print`
do echo $i
rm -f $i
j=j+1
done
echo `j'

error:
test1:integ>./Purging.sh
/opt/CGEYScripts/coredumps.ctl
/opt/CGEYScripts/cored
./Purging.sh[8]: j: not found

Can anyone modify the script that meets my requirement, please?
