Hi Vgersh,

awk -F".Y" '$2 < vr && $2 > vl' vr="${v_RUN_DT}" vl="${v_LOAD_DT}" filename*.txt

The above command works fine but I now realised that its not giving the criteria
For ex:

awk -F".Y" '$2 < vr && $2 > vl' vr="20090502" vl="20090429" filename*.txt

I need the

filename.20090502.txt
filename.20090501.txt
filename.20090430.txt

But I am getting

filename.20090501.txt
filename.20090430.txt
filename.20090429.txt

I tried less than , greater than it doesn't give .. Can u plz point it out plz?

Thanks,
