Hello Kev,

Following may help you in same, I haven't tested it but you can take it as a startup and let us know if you have any queries.
Code:
awk -F, '{if(NR>1){printf "\n"};A="find " $1 "/*" " -prune -type f \\( "; {for(i=3;i<=NF;i++){O="! -name *" $i;if(i!=NF){O=O " -o"};P=P?P OFS O:O;print A OFS P;A=P="";};print " \\) -mtime +" $2 " -exec ls -ltr {} \\;"}}' ORS=" " Input_file

Output will be as follows.
Code:
find /Folder1/* -prune -type f \(  ! -name *.txt -o  ! -name *.csv  \) -mtime +30 -exec ls -ltr {} \;
find /Folder2/* -prune -type f \(  ! -name *.sh -o  ! -name *.ksh -o  ! -name *.txt  \) -mtime +60 -exec ls -ltr {} \;
find /folder3/* -prune -type f \(  ! -name *.param   \) -mtime +90 -exec ls -ltr {} \;

If happy with results then you can pass these output to sh as follows. But it is advisable to test it first and if it prints correct expected output then do pass output to sh.


Thanks,
R. Singh

archive::any

Archive::Any(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 Archive::Any(3pm)

NAME

       Archive::Any - Single interface to deal with file archives.

SYNOPSIS

	 use Archive::Any;

	 my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file);

	 my @files = $archive->files;

	 $archive->extract;

	 my $type = $archive->type;

	 $archive->is_impolite;
	 $archive->is_naughty;

DESCRIPTION

       This module is a single interface for manipulating different archive formats.  Tarballs, zip files, etc.

       new
	     my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file);
	     my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file, $type);

	   $type is optional.  It lets you force the file type in-case Archive::Any can't figure it out.

       extract
	     $archive->extract;
	     $archive->extract($directory);

	   Extracts the files in the archive to the given $directory.  If no $directory is given, it will go into the current working directory.

       files
	     my @file = $archive->files;

	   A list of files in the archive.

       mime_type
	    my $mime_type = $archive->mime_type();

	   Returns the mime type of the archive.

       is_impolite
	     my $is_impolite = $archive->is_impolite;

	   Checks to see if this archive is going to unpack into the current directory rather than create its own.

       is_naughty
	     my $is_naughty = $archive->is_naughty;

	   Checks to see if this archive is going to unpack outside the current directory.

DEPRECATED

       type
	     my $type = $archive->type;

	   Returns the type of archive.  This method is provided for backwards compatibility in the Tar and Zip plugins and will be going away
	   soon in favor of "mime_type".

PLUGINS

       For detailed information on writing plugins to work with Archive::Any, please see the pod documentation for Archive::Any::Plugin.
