Hi ghostdog74,

Thank you for your suggestion.

But when I ran your code

for i in {1..99999}; do printf "%.6d\n" $i; done > base.txt
it returned the following error

printf: {1..99999}: invalid number

The other 2 codes were fine though.

The other thing I found out is that only the last 4 digits are running numbers as in the example below.

ABC01_YYMMDDHHMMSS#### (ABC01_0904161829290001)

I currently do have a simple script that lists the file in the directory for the day, I was hoping that I could integrate the sequence check script into this file.

Please advice me if that is possible. My script file is below

while true
do
ll /data/data01/ARCHIVE/ABC | grep ABC01_* | grep "`date '+%b %e'`" | awk '{print $5, $6, $7, $8, $9}'
echo
date
sleep 60
done

My script out is;

Maybe the script can check the files for correct sequence and display a message like "File missing from sequence ABC01_090416182929####" when there is a missing file.

Thank you for your input, really appreciate it.

SCITOOLS(1)						      General Commands Manual						       SCITOOLS(1)

NAME

       scitools - run a SciTools command

SYNOPSIS

       scitools command [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       The scitools script takes a command and runs a corresponding utility. The available commands are listed below.

       file2interactive
	      Utility for taking a set of Python statements in a file and creating the corresponding interactive Python shell session.

       floatdiff
	      Script for examining differences in regression tests involving floating-point numbers. Used in [1].

       regression
	      Simple front-end script to SciTools' Regression module. Used in [1].

       ps2mpeg
	      Utility for turning a set of PostScript files into an MPEG movie, using mpeg_encode or ppmtompeg.

       profiler
	      Script for simplifying the execution of Python's profiling tools. Used in [1].

       rename Script for renaming a set of files by substituting one string or regular expression with another.

       subst  Script for subsituting a phrase by another in a set of files. Accepts regular expressions. Treated in [1].

       replace
	      Script  for  subsituting	a  phrase by another in a set of files. Does not use regular expressions, just plain text (well suited for
	      substituting text with much use of backslashes, curly braces, and other special  characters  in  regular	expressions  (e.g.,  LaTeX
	      text).

       movie  Script  for  creating  a	movie file from a sequence of image files (frames). By default an HTML file for displaying the image (PNG)
	      files are made.

       pyreport
	      Processes a Python script and pretty prints the results using LateX. If the script uses show() commands (from scitools.easyviz) they
	      are caught by pyreport and the resulting graphs are inserted in the output pdf. Comments lines starting with "#!" are interpreted as
	      rst lines and pretty printed accordingly in the pdf.
