Is your script supposed to search a directory for sets of files with the same timestamp and zip each set?

Should we assume that you're using a Solaris system for this problem as in some of your earlier threads?

And what shell are you using?

Thanks for the response. I just need to zip certain txt files in a one particular directory and do not have to do any search or zip the files in the subdirectories at all. The files are generated by some other process in a given directory. I just have to zip them. Filenames are given below.
I am using Solaris and Ksh shell.

So I have a directory DIR, say DIR1. Lets say there are three files with the same date and time in the DIR1 directory(please see below the filenames). I need to zip the three files (shown below). ALL Files will have same date and time in them as shown below. The zip file needs to have the date and time same as in the files getting zip.

Code:

Dummytest_20140601W110515_file001.txt
Dummytest_20140601W110515_file002.txt
Dummytest_20140601W110515_file003.txt

Thanks
