Help parse comma separated list
I have a list of files with the same name, but they have a different date stamp in the name. I can find the first file, but I need to find the second file. I am using this information to create a variable I use later. Here is a example of how I find the first file.
"ls -mr /HOME/Daily_????????.txt | cut -d "," -f1 | head -1"
files are Daily_20100101.txt, Daily_20100102.txt, Daily_20100103.txt, etc.
this list get converted to Daily_20100103.txt,Daily_20100102.txt,Daily_2010101.txt
The variable1 gets set to "/HOME/Daily_20100103.txt"
I can grab the most current day, but I also need the information for the prior day and I can not seem to grab the second file in the list.
I would like variable2 to be "/HOME/Daily_20100102.txt"
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
