Timebased search script
Hi there

first of all, sry for my bad english and possible mistakes .-)

I write scripts for my server to get my live easier. So my next one will be a script, where I can find special files in a folder.

I put with a script of mine files in a folder on the server with following name structure: name_date_time_ext
This happens every 3 hours. Now I can seperate the name components into variables for a possible search script like that:
Code:
   thisdate=`/bin/date "+%d.%m.%Y_%H:%m"`
	date=${thisdate%_*}
	time=${thisdate##*_}

   string=$(ls ~/teamspeak/teamspeak1_* | tail -1)
	path=${string%/*}
	file=${string##*/}
	filename=${file%.*}
	filext=${file##*.}
	filetime=${filename##*_}
	filedate=${filename%_*}
	filedate=${filedate##*_}

Now I can find every file with any date or time like this:
Code:
   if [ -e $string ]; then
	if [[ $filename == *$date* ]]; then
		clear && echo "For this date the file exist";
	else
		clear && echo "For this date the file do not exist";
	fi
   else
	clear && echo "No file found, please make backup first"
    fi

What I want to do is, to find the latest file, the last safed file in this folder.
Theoreticly I know I have to do something like a loop. But I don't know how.
I think I need a loop where the date varaible ask for a match.
If not jump back date - 3hours, if match ok if not jump back date - 3hours, and so on.
Bu tI don't know how. I hope someone can help me or give me direction to look for, or a tip to find something similar.

Greets & thanks

       The following commands are recognized:

	   list list scripts on server.

	   put <filename> upload script to server.

	   get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout

	   delete <name> delete script.

	   activate <name> activate script.

	   deactivate deactivate all scripts.

OPTIONS

       -u user, --user=user
	   The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.

       -a authname, --authname=authname
	   The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).

       -r realm, --realm=realm
	   The realm to attempt authentication in.

       -e script, --exec=script
	   Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
