Full Discussion: Sort log files based on numeric value in the filename

Thank for your reply,
Sorry for the
Code:
“%06d/n”

, you are right should be
Code:
“%04d/n”


The last printf was designed to output the following (before thinking to add the numbers from 1 to 30 and match them with the filename, since here the lack of “-“ signs):
Code:
FILENAME (even the FILENAME is varying between 22 characters and 24 I put 40 only to add some space, at the that time I didn’t knew the numbers of characters of the log file)
“2nd line after the pattern is found” shows %%%%%%%% and could go up to 80 signs
“number of “%” signs” count how many “%” were found (number between 1 to 80)

name_date_0001_ID0.log “2nd line after the pattern is found” “number of “%” signs”


If possible I would like the output to match the example shown.
Displayig the 2nd line after matching a pattern would be great.
Never happened so far to find more than one pattern in a file, and if does I would like to get the last match.
Yes each log file has 3 underscore characters.
I would the error message to count the number of characters in “ID0”, because the length can very sometimes. For example if I get ID005 I need the script to print the warning message, but not if I have ID5.
The pattern that I want to match is:
Code:
“Percentage Completed”
“empty row”
“%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%” – this number can vary and is between 1 and 80.


Hope this helps
Alex
