thank you and it worked.
how about incorporating it to a simple bash script wherein I need to input the string? Say I'm looking for A45678.dat on those 3 directories.
I would like to put only the 45678 so it will search the filenames on those 3 directories.. I would like to have an output similar to ls -ltrh. In this way I will only execute the script appending the needed string like 45678.
thanks a lot
