Thank You Clx
I will try the command & let you know.
Let me explain my 2nd requirement. Lets assume the below,
START_DT=20120609
END_DT = 20120613
The file names in the source directory is as follows,
20120609_Employee.txt
201206011_Employee.txt
201206012_Employee.txt
In this case, i assume that using the command you gave, it will move the above files into the destination directory
(provided the above files are created/modified between the above said dates).
Now, i need to create another file (lets say dates.txt) with only the dates in the files we moved. In this case,
Quote:
cat dates.txt
20120609
20120611
20120612
Hope this is clear now.
Thanks Much
Freddie
