Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Script for listing specific filename in 3 directory Post 302453627 by lhareigh890 on Thursday 16th of September 2010 12:59:09 AM

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
