ls -tr ${Paytos}

This would list anything equal to 00153301 00153302 00153303 but I need it to list the following files:
00153301.100109
00153302.100109
00153303.100109

I tried ls -tr ${Paytos}.* but no go?

Thanks.

I'm still not sure I understood you correctly, but given that E contains the extension

Code:

for F in $Paytos; do
  ls ${F}.$E
done

       database. Before the  account  is  removed,  the  USERDEL_PRECMD  command  as  defined  in  login.defs(5)  is  called,  after  removal  the
       USERDEL_POSTCMD command is called.

OPTIONS

       -r, --remove-home
