Hi Singh,

Thanks alot for the help.
what if the requirement is like below please?

Say from below list:

Code:

/scratch/builds/snapshotBuilds/0.0.0.0
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-571
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-576
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-597
drwxr-xr-x+  600
drwxr-xr-x+  601
drwxr-xr-x+  602
drwxr-xr-x+  603
drwxr-xr-x+  604
drwxr-xr-x+  605
drwxr-xr-x+  606
drwxr-xr-x+  608
drwxr-xr-x+  613
drwxr-xr-x+  614
drwxr-xr-x+  617
drwxr-xr-x+  618
drwxr-xr-x+  619
drwxr-xr-x+  620
drwxr-xr-x+  621
drwxr-xr-x+  622
drwxr-xr-x+  623
drwxr-xr-x+  624
drwxr-xr-x+  631
drwxr-xr-x+  632
drwxr-xr-x+  635

1. I want to rename 603, 614 and 622 to tested-603, tested-614 and tested-622
2. Don't want to delete +1 & -1 of the above build numbers (like 602 & 604, 613 & 615 and 621 & 623)
3. delete the remaining directories

I think we need a for loop which reads the build numbers at runtime/we pass thru variables
a. that has to be renamed those 3 build numbers and keep them safe
b. Keep +1 and -1 of the build numbers safe

Please let me know if the requirement is not clear?

I think, we need to write some logic with for loop, can you please advise as I am new to this scripting plz?

Thanks,
Ibadh.

       in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.

OPTIONS

       See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.

EXAMPLES

       cat << EOF > test.awk
       @include getopt.awk

       BEGIN {
	    while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
		 ...
