Basic IF Command Question

Hi,

I have a months worth of data that I need to separate into weekly files. There is a date column with dates in the following format: YYYYMMDD.

I'm thinking I can create the weekly files by using a grep command combined with an IF command and specify each day of the specific week I'm extracting within the if command. Does this seem efficient? How would I set up the IF command?

MAKEWHATIS.LOCAL(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 				       MAKEWHATIS.LOCAL(8)

NAME
makewhatis.local, catman.local -- start makewhatis or catman for local file systems SYNOPSIS
/usr/libexec/makewhatis.local [options] directories ... /usr/libexec/catman.local [options] directories ... DESCRIPTION
The makewhatis.local utility starts makewhatis(1) only for file systems physically mounted on the system where the makewhatis.local is being executed. Running makewhatis by periodic weekly for rw nfs-mounted /usr may kill your NFS server -- all NFS clients start makewhatis at the same time! So use this wrapper for cron(8) instead of calling makewhatis directly. The catman.local utility is using for same purposes as makewhatis.local but for catman(1). FILES
/etc/periodic/weekly/320.whatis run makewhatis.local every week /etc/periodic/weekly/330.catman run catman.local every week SEE ALSO
catman(1), find(1), makewhatis(1), cron(8), periodic(8) HISTORY
The makewhatis.local utility appeared in FreeBSD 2.2. BSD
April 26, 1996 BSD
