Full Discussion: Reading the dates from a file & moving the files from a directory
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Reading the dates from a file & moving the files from a directory Post 302653567 by agama on Saturday 9th of June 2012 01:36:01 PM

Sorry -- wasn't thinking about the possibility of other matches.

Try something like this:
Code:
sed '/SUB_DATE/ !d; s/.*=//; s/,/\n/g' input-file | while read x
do
   echo "$x"
done

It should ignore any line that doesn't contain SUB_DATE and then break each element from the comma separated list into a newline separated list that will be properly read by the while. Was thinking multiple lines with my suggestion.

dm_zdump

DM_ZDUMP(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					       DM_ZDUMP(1)

NAME

       dm_zdump - timezone dumper

SYNOPSIS

       This performs the same operation as the unix 'zdump' command, but using the Date::Manip module.

	  dm_zdump [-v] [-c YEAR] [ZONE ZONE ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This displays the current time in each ZONE named on the command line unless the -v option is given.

       -h, --help
	   Print online help.

       -v, --verbose
	   This displays all critical dates (i.e. the times when a time change occurs due to the timezone description) for each of the timezones
	   listed (or the local timezone if none are listed).

	   Each critical date is printed as two lines of output: the last second before the change occurs, and the first second of the new time.

	   By default, all critical dates from Jan 1, 0001 until the year 20 years in the future are printed, but this can be changed with the -c
	   option.

       -c, --cutoff YEAR
	   This specifies the cutoff year. All critical dates up to the start of YEAR are given. The GMT time Jan 01, YEAR at 00:00:00 is the
	   cutoff time.

KNOWN BUGS

       None known.

BUGS AND QUESTIONS

       Please refer to the Date::Manip::Problems documentation for information on submitting bug reports or questions to the author.
