Hello Neutronscott,

Its a bash shell and I'm writing a script using Fedora.
I want to append the 22-May-2012 bit to the start of the line for each result.

More importantly would be having the data listed in chronological order or just list the contents of the most recent directories. Its modem data on our network I'm looking at. The contents of the directory where the files are is as follows:


Code:
[
[root@NMAPS-A1 modemdata]# pwd
/opt/com21/nmaps/snmp/modemdata
root@NMAPS-A1 modemdata]# ls -ltr
total 848

So the only directories to be queried for the string is the directories last written to 1 day ago or with the current date.
