Thanks. That one works so far on :Linux. Hope the same thing works on Solaris.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

So far, yazu's suggestion is what am trialing out.

Code:
ls | egrep 'log_[0-9]+\.xml'

Also found the link below useful, in case egrep does not function like it used to on other *nixes or on others where egrep is not available.

https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...ric-value.html

FYI, my other chosen alternative which is using awk if egrep is not available is as below. Any awk expert around to make it "shorter"

Code:
ls -1tr *.xml | awk -F. '{ print $1 }' | awk -F_ '{ print $2 }' | awk '/^[0-9]+$/' | awk '{ print "log_"$1".xml" }'

or for .txt files

ls -1tr *.txt | awk -F. '{ print $1 }' | awk -F_ '{ print $2 }' | awk '/^[0-9]+$/' | awk '{ print "log_"$1".xml" }'

Thanks again everyone. Very much appreciated.

tau_dump_func_vals_incr

TAU_DUMP_FUNC_VALS_I(3) 				      TAU Instrumentation API					   TAU_DUMP_FUNC_VALS_I(3)

NAME

       TAU_DUMP_FUNC_VALS_INCR - Dumps function values with a timestamp

SYNOPSIS

       C/C++:

       TAU_DUMP_FUNC_VALS_INCR(char **inFuncs, int numFuncs);

DESCRIPTION

       Similar to TAU_DUMP_FUNC_VALS. This macro creates an incremental selective dump and dumps the results with a date stamp to the filename
       such as sel_dump__Thu-Mar-28-16:30:48-2002__.0.0.0. In this manner the previous TAU_DUMP_FUNC_VALS_INCR(...)  are not overwritten (unless
       they occur within a second).

EXAMPLE

       C/C++ :

       const char **inFuncs;
       /* The first dimension is functions, and the second dimension is counters */
       double **counterExclusiveValues;
       double **counterInclusiveValues;
       int *numOfCalls;
       int *numOfSubRoutines;
       const char **counterNames;
       int numOfCouns;

       TAU_GET_FUNC_VALS(inFuncs, 2,
	 counterExclusiveValues,
	 counterInclusiveValues,
	 numOfCalls,
	 numOfSubRoutines,
	 counterNames,
	 numOfCouns);

       TAU_DUMP_FUNC_VALS(inFuncs, 2);
