panyam,

Can you explain to me how i should enter this into the script.

Code:
xargs -l4 <  input_file | grep `date "+%m/%d/%y"` | sed 's/.*Set/Set/'


The script should read the file below looking for the current date and grab only "Set owner ". So from the example below is should grab CBL288 and not CBLJMM..

File Read - /tmp/test


Code:
$ cat /tmp/test
04/12/12 15:10:25
volume: CBLJMM
Remove prior owner SYSTEM from CBLJMM
Set owner nbkpmstr to CBLJMM

04/13/12 15:10:14
volume: CBL288
Remove prior owner SYSTEM from CBL288
Set owner nbkpmstr to CBL288

NAME

       tv_grab_uk_bleb - Grab TV listings for the United Kingdom, from bleb.org

SYNOPSIS

       tv_grab_uk_bleb --help

       tv_grab_uk_bleb [--config-file FILE] --configure [--gui OPTION]

       tv_grab_uk_bleb [--config-file FILE] [--output FILE] [--quiet]
		       [--days N] [--offset N]

DESCRIPTION

       Output TV and radio listings in XMLTV format for many stations available in Britain.  The data comes from the bleb.org web site.

USAGE

       First you must run tv_grab_uk_bleb --configure to choose which stations you want to receive.  Then running tv_grab_uk_bleb with no
       arguments will get about a week<39>s listings for the stations you chose.

       --configure Prompt for which stations to download and write the configuration file.

       --gui OPTION Use this option to enable a graphical interface to be used.  OPTION may be 'Tk', or left blank for the best available choice.
       Additional allowed values of OPTION are 'Term' for normal terminal output (default) and 'TermNoProgressBar' to disable the use of
       Term::ProgressBar.

       --config-file FILE Set the name of the configuration file, the default is ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_uk_bleb.conf.  This is the file written by
       --configure and read when grabbing.

       --output FILE When grabbing, write output to FILE rather than standard output.

       --days N When grabbing, grab N days rather than as many as possible.

       --offset N Start grabbing at today + N.	N may be negative.

       --quiet Suppress the progress messages normally written to standard error.

       --version Show the version of the grabber.

       --help Print a help message and exit.
