Full Discussion: Two arguments for optional switch

I have posted some wrong phrase in my previous post..

It should be something in this way .

Code:

${basename} [ -c <LOG_FILE> | -o <DATE:YYYY-MM-DD> <LOG_FILE> ]

The only difference between Current Log & Archive Log is that its suffix.

Current Log Format : LOG_FILE_Group1, LOG_FILE_Group2, LOG_FILE_Group3
Archive Log Format : LOG_FILE_Group[1-3]_2011-02-12.log.gz

If script running with option -o
Firstly It will check with DATE
Secondly It will Check with LOG_FILE

Code:
ls -ltr | grep -i 2011-02-12 | grep -i LOG_FILE_Group*

If $?=0

It does the gzgrep -i STRING LOG_FILE_Group* > OutputFile

svk::log::changedpaths

SVK::Log::ChangedPaths(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 SVK::Log::ChangedPaths(3)

NAME

       SVK::Log::ChangedPaths - partly lazy list of SVK::Log::ChangedPath objects

SYNOPSIS

	   use SVK::Log::ChangedPaths;
	   my $changed_paths = SVK::Log::ChangedPaths->new( $root );
	   for my $changed_path ( $changed_paths->paths() ) {
	       ...
	   }

DESCRIPTION

       An object of this class represents a collection of details about the files/directories that were changed in a particular revision.  Some
       log filters want access to information about which paths were affected during a certain revision and others don't.  Using this object
       allows the calculation of path details to be postponed until it's truly needed.

METHODS

       new

       Accepts the return value of "SVK::Path->root()" as a parameter and constructs a SVK::Log::ChangedPaths object from it.

       paths

       Returns a list of SVK::Log::ChangedPath objects each of which represents the details of the changes to a particular path.

DIAGNOSTICS

       None

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

       SVK::Log::ChangedPaths requires no configuration files or environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES

       o   SVK::Log::ChangedPath

INCOMPATIBILITIES

       None known

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

       None known
