Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting A simpler way to do this (save a list of files based on part of their name) Post 302839447 by LMHmedchem on Thursday 1st of August 2013 03:39:32 PM
Old 08-01-2013
If I was doing this in cpp, I would definitely use some kind of sort, but I'm not at all familiar with how to do this in a shell. The key value is in the file, but not somewhere where it can be easily found (not in the same place in every file). I have already processed these files and added the value I am interested in to the file name so it will be easier to access. It's easy enough to grab the value out of the filename, but I don't know if that's compatible with your solution.

NAME
installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
installsieve DESCRIPTION
installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server. OPTIONS
-v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output. -l List all of the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active script. -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services. -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten. Upon sucessfully putting the script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since sieve names may not contain a '.'. -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option.. -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>. -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen. -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already exists it is overwritten. -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user. CMU
