Hey thanks perderabo,
just one doubt..actually i am running a script to generate the above file.

it is generic or dynamic amd i am running it from some other location.
And i am not positioned at the parent location.

Now my question is how to run the above command from some other location
what changes are needed in the above line if i am executing this from other location?

For Eg:
i am running this script from /tmp

and the out put is like this


place1
place2
place3
checkpoint
some other text
some more text


now
place1,place2,place3

are directories under the parent directory /logs
Can you modify the above script so the inside the loop it will go into
/logs/$dir
and then do ls -l??

Thanks in advance.
