I have to find the specific formatted file is present in the received list in the directory, for which I have written:

Code:

 
file_list=`ls -lrt /tmp/vinay/act/files |grep "$cdate"| awk '{print $9}'`
while read fileStr 
do
find $file_list $fileStr > /dev/null
 status=`echo $?`
 if [ $status != 0 ] ; then
 
  echo "File not found "
  exit 634
 else
  echo "File found "
 
 fi
done < files.txt

and my files.txt file contains some regular expr. of the file names to check for in the received list of files, like:

Code:

 
avc_cd_*.[txt|done]
asd_c_ds_cons_*.[txt|done]
.
.
.

In the above code, how to check whether file received is of the format as per files.txt file. Please help.

Thank you.

Hi.,

Is there any way to specify to the read command, that the file it is reading contains file names with regular expression for the above example?.

Kindly help.


Thank you.
