Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Script to move files to a directory according to date Post 302550561 by hfreyer on Friday 26th of August 2011 06:06:47 AM

The first question is, which format $date1 has. It needs to be in seconds-since-epoch.
If it is a string, convert it with
Code:
date1=`date -d "$date1" +%s`

Then
Code:
export date1
files_to_save=`ls -ltr --time-style=+%s | awk 'function abs(x){return x<0 ? -x : x}BEGIN{date1=ENVIRON["date1"]}{print abs($(NF-1)-date1)"\t"$NF}' | sort -n -k1,1 | head -3 | cut -f 2`;
